As shown in
Step 101: Identity information of a user on an intelligent pad is determined.
The terminal in the present disclosure may be any intelligent terminal having an Internet access function. For example, the terminal may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and so on, wherein the terminal may access a router by a wireless local area network, and access a server in a public network through the router. An Application (App) is installed on the terminal, and a display device associated with the intelligent pad may be controlled by the App. A network communication module capable of communicating with the terminal is provided in the intelligent pad and the display device. The intelligent pad in the aspects of the present disclosure may include a mattress, a seat cushion, a sofa cushion and so on, and the aspects of the present disclosure mainly illustrate a mattress as an example.
The step of the aspects of the present disclosure aims to determine that an object on the intelligent pad is a user (i.e., a person), but not an animal or another object, such as a pillow, a quilt and so on. For example, when a user lies on a mattress or sits on a sofa cushion, it may be first detected whether the object on the intelligent pad is a user, and when a user is detected, identity information of the user is determined.
Several temperature sensors may be arranged on the intelligent pad in the aspects of the present disclosure, and several pressure sensors may be also arranged thereon. The temperature sensors and the pressure sensors may be arranged uniformly in a network pattern on the intelligent pad. The temperature sensors are configured to detect the temperature of the object on the intelligent mat, and the pressure sensors are configured to detect a received pressure. Each pressure sensor corresponds to a detection point.
In the step of the aspects of the present disclosure, whether the object on the intelligent pad is a user may be detected by one or more of the following manners.
Manner 1
The terminal uses the pressure sensors arranged on the intelligent pad to acquire pressure information on the intelligent mat, and determines the shape of the object on the intelligent pad according to points where the pressure information is capable of being acquired on the intelligent pad. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the shape may be determined based on detection points of the outermost circle among detection points that the pressure information is capable of being acquired, the determined shape is compared with a pre-stored shape of a human body, so as to obtain a first similarity, and if the first similarity is larger than a first preset threshold, it is determined that the object is a user, and otherwise, it is determined that the object is another object. The shape of the human body here may be the shape of the whole human body, or may be also the shape of a part of the human body, because for a seat cushion, an acquired shape is the shape of the buttocks and legs corresponding to the user sitting on the seat cushion.
In the manner of the pressure information on the intelligent pad present disclosure, the shape of the object on the intelligent pad is determined according to the pressure information, and whether the object is a user is judged according to the shape, thereby improving the judgment efficiency.
Manner 2
The terminal uses the pressure sensors to acquire pressure information on the intelligent pad and determines a stressed area according to points where the pressure information is capable of being acquired on the intelligent mat, then calculates the ratio of the pressure information to the stressed area so as to obtain the density of the object on the intelligent mat, then compares the density of the objet with a pre-stored range of human body density, and if the calculated density is in the pre-stored range of human body density, then determines that the object is a user, and otherwise, determines that the object is other object.
In the manner of the aspects of the present disclosure, whether the object on the intelligent pad is a user is judged according to density. Since the density of a human body is significantly different from the density of other objects, the judgment accuracy can be improved.
Further, the pre-stored range of human body density may be determined according to history data. For example, pressure information and a stressed area on a mattress where a user lies on his/her back are acquired from history data, and a range of human body density of a human body lying on his/her back is acquired according to the ratio of the pressure information to the stressed area. Pressure information and a stressed area of a mattress on which a user sits may be also acquired from history data, so as to acquire a range of human density of a sitting human body.
Manner 3
The terminal uses the temperature sensors to acquire temperature data of the object on the intelligent mat, compares the acquired temperature data with a pre-stored range of human body temperature, and if the temperature data is in the pre-stored range of human body temperature, determines that the object on the intelligent pad is a user, and otherwise, determines that the object on the intelligent pad is other object, but not a human body. In the step of the aspects of the present disclosure, since various parts of a human body have roughly the same temperature, temperature data acquired by only some temperature sensors may be compared with the range of human body temperature. Some temperature data may be compared with the range of human body temperature respectively. The temperature data may be also calculated to acquire an average value and the average value is compared with the range of human body temperature. Or the acquired temperature data is calculated based on some other algorithms to obtain a reference temperature value that can reflect the overall temperature data, and the reference temperature value acquired through the calculation is compared with the range of human body temperature.
In the method of the aspects of the present disclosure, whether the object is a user is judged according to temperature, thereby improving the judgment efficiency.
It is to be understood that manners for detecting whether an object on the intelligent pad is a user are not limited to the manners above, which may be manners for determining a user in the related art. Besides, whether the object is a user may be judged by one manner so as to improve the judgment efficiency, or may be also judged by combining a plurality of manners, so as to improve the judgment accuracy. For example, the judgment is performed by combining the first manner and the second manner, or by combining the first manner and the third manner, and so on.
Subsequently, the identity information of the user may be determined.
A plurality of users may use the intelligent pad in a family, and the users who use the intelligent pad may be called valid users, thus identity information of each valid user may be pre-stored in the terminal, such as information that can identify the user, including a name, a username, an account, a body height, a body weight, face image information and a mobile phone number and so on. The identity information of the user may be determined by the following modes.
Mode 1: The identity information of the user is determined according to physiological parameters.
First, difference values between physiological parameters and sample physiological parameters in a data list are calculated.
The physiological parameters may include pressure information, stressed area, the density of a user, and the height of the user and so on. When the physiological parameters are information (such as pressure information, stressed area, and the density of a user) acquired during the process of determining a user, the physiological parameters may be acquired directly, otherwise, the physiological parameters need to be acquired separately. For example, for an intelligent mattress, the terminal may determine the body length (body height) of a user lying on the intelligent mattress based on points that are the farthest from each other in the length direction of the intelligent mattress. The length direction of the intelligent pad is the direction of the body height of a human body lying thereon, and generally, points that are the farthest to each other in this direction are the positions of the head and the feet, thus the approximate height of the user may be determined by this mode. The data list records corresponding relations between sample physiological parameters and identity information of users. Different sample physiological parameters correspond to different valid users, thus the identity of a corresponding user may be determined according to sample physiological parameters.
Secondly, the difference values are compared with an allowable fluctuation range, a target difference value in the allowable fluctuation range is selected from the difference values, and a target sample physiological parameter corresponding to the target difference value is determined. The identity information of a user corresponding to the target sample physiological parameter is acquired from the data list. A physiological parameter of a user may change as time goes by, a body weight may change, for example, thereby resulting in a change in pressure information and a stressed area; therefore, physiological parameters corresponding to difference values in the allowable fluctuation range may be the same user.
It may be understood that the identity of the user may be determined by one type of physiological parameter, and the identity of the user may be also determined by combining a plurality of physiological parameters so as to improve the accuracy in recognizing the identity. For example, the identity is recognized by combining the pressure information and the stressed area. When the pressure information and sample pressure information are in an allowable fluctuation range, and when the stressed area and a sample stressed area are in an allowable fluctuation range, the corresponding identity information is determined.
For example, pressure information on the intelligent pad is acquired, a stressed area is determined based on points where the pressure information can be acquired on the intelligent mat, a pressure difference value between the pressure information and sample pressure information in the data list is calculated, an area difference value between the stressed area and a sample stressed area in the data list is calculated, wherein the data list records corresponding relations among sample pressure information, sample stressed areas and identity information of users, a group of target sample pressure information and target sample stressed areas having a pressure difference value and an area difference value within allowable fluctuation ranges is selected, and identity information of a user corresponding to the target sample pressure information and the target sample stressed area is determined according to the data list.
Further, a manner for creating the data list may include the followings.
Firstly, history physiological parameters of each user in a first history period are acquired from a database. The first history period is a preset recent period of time. For example, the first history period may be recent one week, or recent one month, which may be specifically set as required. Current physical conditions of the user may be truly reflected by acquiring history physiological parameters within a recent period of time, thereby improving the reliability of the sample physiological parameters in the data list.
Secondly, history physiological parameters of each user are averaged to obtain sample physiological parameters of the each user. Each user corresponds to a plurality of history physiological parameters, and physical conditions of each user may be reflected comprehensively by averaging physiological parameters of the each user, thereby improving the reliability of the sample physiological parameters in the data list.
Finally, corresponding relations between identity information of users and sample physiological parameters are created and the data list is obtained.
The identity information of the user may be determined according sample physiological parameters by creating the corresponding relations between the identity information of users and the sample physiological parameters.
Further, the allowable fluctuation range may be also determined.
In an alternative implementation mode, the allowable fluctuation range may be determined by the following way.
Firstly, an exercise parameter of the user within a second history period is acquired. The second history period is a preset recent period of time. For example, the second history period may be the recent one week, or the recent one month, which may be specifically set as required. The second history period may be the same as a first period, or may be also different. In the present step, the exercise parameter of the user may be acquired by a portable device associated with the terminal. For example, an exercise parameter of the user in the recent one week may be acquired through a smart wrist band.
Secondly, the exercise parameter is compared with an upper exercise limit and a lower exercise limit of the user.
Finally, the allowable fluctuation range of the exercise parameter of the user is determined according to a comparison result.
The upper exercise limit and the lower exercise limit of the user may be preset. The values may be used for measuring a possible changing trend of physiological parameters. For example, when the exercise parameter is larger than the upper exercise limit, it is considered that there is a large amount of exercise, which may result in a decrease in the pressure information and the stressed area, and the allowable fluctuation range may be decreased at the moment. When the exercise parameter is smaller than the lower exercise limit, it is considered that there is a small amount of exercise, which may result in an increase in the pressure information and the stressed area, and the allowable fluctuation range may be increased at the moment. Thus, the allowable fluctuation range of the exercise parameter of the user may be determined according to a comparison result, wherein a specific value of the fluctuation range may be designated.
For example, provided that a default allowable fluctuation range is (−10% w0,+10° % w0), the allowable fluctuation range may be increased if a user has an extremely small exercise amount recently according to an exercise amount recorded by a wrist band in the recent one week of the user. For example, the fluctuation range of pressure information (W) is increased to (−10% w0,+20% w0) or the allowable fluctuation range may be reduced, to (−20% w0,+10% w0), for example, if the user has an extremely large exercise amount recently, wherein w0 is a sample pressure parameter corresponding to the user.
The way adjusts the allowable fluctuation range according to the exercise parameter, which considers the factor that a physiological parameter changes with the exercise parameter, thereby improving the accuracy in determining the identity information.
In another alternative implementation mode, a fluctuation range may be preset. The fluctuation range may be a proportion, and may be also a specific value. For example, a fluctuation range of the pressure information may be fixed at (−10% w0,+10% w0), wherein w0 is a sample pressure parameter corresponding to the user. For another example, a fluctuation range of the pressure information is set as (−5 kg,+5 kg).
Mode 2: The identity information of the user is determined according to biologic characteristic information.
Firstly, biologic characteristic information of the user is acquired. The biologic characteristic information may include fingerprint information, palm print information, face information and so on. For example, the terminal may recognize the face of the user by a built-in camera, or may also recognize the fingerprint of the user by a built-in fingerprint recognition module.
Secondly, the acquired biologic characteristic information is compared with pre-stored biologic characteristic information of at least one valid user.
Biologic characteristic information may have little change as time progresses, thus the acquired biologic characteristic information may be directly compared with pre-stored biologic characteristic information of a valid user.
Finally, when a second similarity of the acquired biologic characteristic information to biologic characteristic information of a valid user is larger than a second preset threshold, pre-stored identity information of the valid user is read.
When the acquired biologic characteristic information is similar to biologic characteristic information of a valid user, it may be determined that the object on the intelligent pad is the valid user, thus identity information of the valid user is determined to be identity information of the object.
In an aspect of the present disclosure, biologic characteristic information and corresponding identity information of each valid user are pre-stored in the terminal. After a user currently located on the intelligent pad is determined according to biologic characteristic information, corresponding identity information may be read from a database.
Mode 3: The identity information of the user is determined according to account information used by the user to log in an App on the terminal.
Account information used by the user to log in an App on the terminal is read. Before using the intelligent mat, the user may log in any App on the terminal, and account information for logging in the App may be acquired to determine the identity information of the user according to the account information. On one hand, the account information may be determined as the identity information directly. In other words, the identity information exists in a form of account information. On the other hand, the identity information may be also determined according to a pre-created relation between the account information and the identity information. For example, the account information is an account, and the identity information is a name, then a relation between the account and the name is created in advance. After the account is acquired, the corresponding name may be determined according to the account so as to acquire the name of the user.
Step 102: Preference information of the user is determined according to the identity information of the user.
In the step of the aspects of the present disclosure, the preference information may include an audio, a video, an image, a webpage, an electronic book and so on.
In an alternative implementation mode, history watching information of the user in a third history period may be read according to the identity information of the user, and the history watching information is analyzed to acquire the preference information of the user, wherein the third history period is a preset recent period of time. For example, the third history period may be the recent one week, or the recent one month, which may be specifically set as required. The third history period may be the same as the first history period or the second history period, or may be also different from the first history period or the second history period.
A preset strategy may be applied when the history watching information is analyzed. For example, information that is not completely played by the user before shutdown has the highest priority. For example, the user performs shutdown without finishing playing a movie “XXX” when watching the movie last time, then the playing progress of the movie may be acquired this time to continue playing the movie “XXX”. On the other hand, weights of the information may be also determined according to playing frequencies of the information so as to determine a playing sequence of the information according to the weights. For example, it is analyzed according to statistics of the history watching information that the user likes to watch American television series, and then the preference information is American television series. For another example, it is analyzed according to statistics of the history watching information that, within one week, the user watched a television play A for 5 times, watched a television play B for 6 times, watched a television play C for 3 times, browsed a webpage D twice, and read an electronic book E for 7 times, then the preference information is: the electronic book E, the television play B, the television play A, the television play C and the webpage D.
In another alternative implementation mode, when there are at least two users on the intelligent mat, a sequence that the at least two users contact the intelligent pad is acquired; preference information corresponding to each of the at least two users is determined according to identity information of the at least two users; the preference information is sorted according to the sequence to acquire a preference information list. The present aspect illustrates the situation where there is a plurality of users on the intelligent pad. Each user corresponds to preference information, the users may be sorted according to a sequence of contact with the intelligent mat, and preference information corresponding to the users is further sorted, thus preference information of a user who contacts the intelligent pad first will be displayed first.
Step 103: An instruction for displaying the preference information is sent to a display device associated with the intelligent pad.
The present step may send an instruction for displaying the preference information to a display device associated with the intelligent pad so that the display device can display the preference information. The display device may be a television, a large screen display, a projector and so on. The display device may locally acquire, according to the instruction, data corresponding to the preference information, may also acquire data corresponding to the preference information from a could, and may also acquire data corresponding to the preference information from a terminal. For example, the display device may acquire data corresponding to the preference information from a terminal, including a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer and so on of the user.
In an alternative implementation mode, the instruction for displaying the preference information may be an instruction for directly displaying data corresponding to the preference information. For example, when there is a plurality of pieces of preference information, specific data corresponding to the preference information may be displayed in turn. For example, American television series A may be played first according to the preference information, American television series B are played when a switching instruction is received or a preset moment arrives, and so on.
In another alternative implementation mode, the instruction for displaying the preference information may be an instruction for displaying the preference information list. For example,
Further, a wireless connection with the display device associated with the intelligent pad may be created; and then a booting instruction and the instruction for displaying the preference information are sent to the display device through the wireless connection, so as to implement automatic booting and display the preference information.
It may be seen from the foregoing aspects that the aspects of the present disclosure determine identity information of a user on an intelligent mat, determines preference information of the user according to the identity information of the user, and then sends an instruction for displaying the preference information to a display device associated with the intelligent mat, so that the preference information of the user on the intelligent pad can be displayed and the user does not need to select the preference information manually from a large amount of data, thus improving searching efficiency and bringing more use convenience for the user.
It is to be noted that the method may be also applied to an intelligent pad besides a terminal. The intelligent pad determines identity information of a user on the mat, determines preference information of the user according to the identity information of the user, and then sends an instruction for displaying the preference information to a display device associated with the intelligent pad. A specific implementation method is similar to the aspects above, and will not be described repeatedly in details here.
In an alternative implementation mode, when the display device is a projector, the method further includes that: a posture of the user on the intelligent pad is determined according to the stressed area and pre-stored corresponding relations between stressed areas and postures, wherein the posture may include a sitting posture, a supine position and so on, a projection direction of the projector is determined according to the determined posture and pre-stored corresponding relations between pre-stored projection directions and postures; and then the projection direction is sent to the projector associated with the intelligent mat, thus controlling a direction of the projector automatically and improving user experience.
In an alternative implementation mode, when the identity information of the user cannot be recognized, information on the top of a recent playing list may be played or recommended, or playing of the content played last time is continued by default.
