Detailed Description

In order to make the description of the present invention more complete and complete, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and the various embodiments described below, in which like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements. In other instances, well-known elements and steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.

In the description of the embodiments and the claims, electrical connection refers to an element being electrically coupled to another element indirectly through another element or being electrically connected to another element directly without the other element.

In the description of embodiments and claims, the term "connected" is used broadly to mean that a component is in wired and/or wireless communication with another component indirectly through the other component or that a component is physically connected to another component without the other component.

In the description and claims, the terms "a" and "an" can be used broadly to refer to a single element or to a plurality of elements, unless the context specifically states the article.

As used herein, the terms "about," "approximately," or "approximately" are intended to modify any number of variations that do not materially alter the nature of the disclosure. Unless otherwise specified in the description, the error ranges representing numerical values modified by about, or substantially are generally within twenty percent, preferably within ten percent, and more preferably within five percent.

Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a non-binding security system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the non-binding security system 100 includes a host 110, a motion platform 120, and a sensor 130. In the structure, the sensor 130 is disposed on the motion platform 120, the motion platform 120 and the sensor 130 are both electrically connected to the host 110, the sensor 130 is disposed at the predetermined safe position 122 of the motion platform 120, and the motion platform 120 does not need to be disposed with a conventional tethered device.

For example, the host 110 may be a computer host, a large-scale game console, or other computer device, the motion platform 120 may be a human-computer interaction platform, and the sensor 130 may be a contact sensor (e.g., a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, etc.) and/or a non-contact sensor (e.g., an inductive proximity sensor, a radar, etc.). In practice, an adjustable inflation device is disposed at one or more corners of the lower portion of the platform 120, so that the platform 120 can be lifted up and down, swung back and forth, and swung left and right. The adjustable inflation device can comprise an air compressor, an air bag, an electromagnetic valve and the like, wherein the air compressor supplies air, and the electromagnetic valve is used for controlling the air bag to be in any suitable gas content state.

In use, the host computer 110 executes game content and causes the motion platform 120 to move according to the game content. If the sensor 130 does not sense that the user is located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, which represents that the user may not be in position or wants to leave the game, the host 110 stops the motion platform 120 to achieve the safety protection of the user in real time.

Conversely, if the sensor 130 senses that the user is substantially at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, representing that the user is in position or playing, the host computer 110 causes the motion platform 120 to continue to move, thereby immersing the user in the motion-based game experience.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor 130 is a touch sensor, the touch sensor senses force values (such as weight, pressure, deformation, etc.) applied to the predetermined safety position 122, and the host 110 determines whether the user is located at the predetermined safety position 122 on the motion platform 120 according to the variation of the force values. If the user is not located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, the host 110 stops the motion platform 120; conversely, if the user is located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, the host 110 causes the motion platform 120 to continue moving.

Taking a touch sensor as an example of a weight sensing device, a user touches the weight sensing device to cause physical deformation of any one or more weight sensing devices. The strain gauge attached to the sensing device is stressed by the pressure so that the electric bridge is out of balance, and an electric signal with a value in direct proportion to the pressure is output. The weight sensing device amplifies the output voltage with a high precision low noise amplifier and converts it to a digital signal through an analog-to-digital (a/D) converter. The digital signal is converted into a data signal through Firmware (Firmware), and the data signal is transmitted to the host 110 at the game end. The host 110 at the game end compares the data signal change of each frame (frame) in real time, determines whether the user is still at the predetermined safe position 122, and determines whether to instruct to change the action state (run/stop) of the motion platform 120.

Alternatively or additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the sensor 130 is a non-contact sensor that senses field changes at the predetermined safe location 122, such as: magnetic field changes, electric field changes, electromagnetic field changes, light field changes, wave field changes, etc., and the host computer 110 determines whether the user is located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120 according to the field changes. If the user is not located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, the host 110 stops the motion platform 120; conversely, if the user is located at the predetermined safe position 122 on the motion platform 120, the host 110 causes the motion platform 120 to continue moving.

Taking the non-contact sensor as an inductive proximity sensing device as an example, a user approaches the sensing device and enters the detection distance of the sensing device. The sensing device generates a potential difference due to the change of the magnetic field, and the switching state of the sensing device is influenced. The sensing device outputs a switch state, and the switch state is converted into a data signal through a Firmware (Firmware) and transmitted to the host 110 of the game end. The host 110 at the game end compares the data signal change of each frame (frame) in real time, determines whether the user is still at the predetermined safe position 122, and determines whether to instruct to change the action state (run/stop) of the motion platform 120.

Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of a non-binding security system 200 according to another embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, the motion platform 220 has a carrier 221. In the structure, the predetermined hip safety position 222 is located on the carrier 221, the first predetermined foot safety position 223 and the second predetermined foot safety position 225 on the platform 220 are located on opposite sides of the carrier 221, the first contact sensor 231 and the second contact sensor 232 are respectively disposed at the first predetermined foot safety position 223 and the second predetermined foot safety position 225, and the non-contact sensor 233 is disposed on the carrier 221.

For example, the carrier 221 may be a base and a control carrier, which may include a handle, a button, a brake, etc., but the invention is not limited thereto.

When the mobile platform 220 is in use, the first touch sensor 231 senses a first force value applied to the first predetermined foot safety position 223, and the host 210 determines whether a foot of a user steps on the first predetermined foot safety position 223 on the mobile platform 220 according to a change of the first force value. The second touch sensor 232 senses a second force value applied to the second predetermined foot safety position, and the host 210 determines whether another foot of the user steps on the second predetermined foot safety position 225 on the motion platform 220 according to a change of the second force value. The non-contact sensor 233 senses a field change of the predetermined hip safety position 222, and the host 210 determines whether the user is seated on the predetermined hip safety position 222 on the vehicle 221 according to the field change.

If any one of the first predetermined foot safety position 223 where one foot of the user is not placed on the motion-sensing platform 220, the second predetermined foot safety position 225 where the other foot of the user is not placed on the motion-sensing platform 220, or the predetermined hip safety position 222 where the user is not seated on the vehicle 221 is satisfied, the host computer 210 stops the motion-sensing platform 220.

On the contrary, if one foot of the user steps on the first predetermined foot safety position 223 on the motion-sensing platform 220, the other foot of the user steps on the second predetermined foot safety position 225 on the motion-sensing platform 220, and the predetermined hip safety position 222 of the user sitting on the vehicle 221 are all established, the host 210 makes the motion-sensing platform 220 continue to move.

In fig. 2, the host 210 establishes communication with the display 250, and the display 250 displays a screen corresponding to the game content. In an embodiment of the invention, the display 250 may include an LCD screen 251 and/or a head mounted display 252.

In practice, the non-binding safety system 200 may be applied to a virtual reality racing game machine, and a player enters a virtual scene by wearing the head-mounted display 252, operates the steering wheel, the throttle, and the brake, drives the vehicle to run on the combined race track, and reaches a destination to complete a game experience. The game adopts the head-mounted display 252 and the dynamic platform 220 to create a simulated driving feeling, and real-time and corresponding body feeling feedback can be given according to different scene conditions such as emergencies, road surface fluctuation, soaring and landing.

The game scenes can comprise scenes with a plurality of different themes, such as factories, canyons, orchards, ports and the like, each scene has a unique style and an event, the events on the scenes take surprise stimulation which occurs randomly, the performance of each event is like an action movie, and the game players have movie scenes when shuttling the events. The probability of the left side and the right side of some events is divided, so that when a player encounters the same event, the player can have different experiences due to different occurrence positions, and the playing endurance of the track is improved.

The lcd screen 251 is disposed at the front side of the motion platform 220 for people to watch. The head-mounted display 252 can be worn by a user, and when the user wants to exit the game, the head-mounted display 252 can be placed at a predetermined safe placement position 227 on the carrier 221, and the pressing sensor 237 (e.g., a pressing switch) is disposed at the predetermined safe placement position 227 of the carrier 221.

When the head-mounted display 252 is placed at the predetermined safe placement position 227 on the carrier 221, the head-mounted display 252 presses the pressing sensor 237, and the pressing sensor 237 transmits a closing signal to the host 210, so that the host 210 stops the motion platform 220.

In conclusion, compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. By means of the non-binding safety systems 100 and 200 of the present invention, a fixed-point sensing mechanism is provided to identify whether the user is in a safe position, so as to achieve safety protection for the user in real time without additional configuration of conventional binding equipment.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
