Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an information prompting method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the information prompting method is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a body and a rotatable camera disposed on the body, and the camera is detachably mounted on the body.

Referring to fig. 2, a schematic plan view of an electronic device of one embodiment of the invention is shown. Electronic equipment includes body 1, installs camera 2 on body 1, and camera 2 is rotatable camera, optionally installs camera 2 at the top of body 1. In the present embodiment, on the one hand, the camera 2 is a separate camera, i.e. can be separated from the main body 1 to perform a flying action. Correspondingly, the camera 2 is mounted on the body 1 in a mounted state (as shown in fig. 2), and the camera 2 is separated from the body 1 in a flying state (as shown in fig. 3). On the other hand, the camera head 2 has a turning function, see fig. 4, for turning the camera head 2 in the mounted state, wherein the arrows schematically indicate the turning direction for reference only; in addition, the camera 2 can also rotate in the flying state.

Based on the features of the electronic device, the information prompting method in this embodiment includes:

step 110: and under the condition that the electronic equipment receives the communication connection request and does not receive the input of the user to the communication connection request within the preset time, controlling the camera to rotate and controlling the camera to acquire the image.

Alternatively, the communication connection request is any one of a video communication connection request, a voice communication connection request, a telephone communication connection request, and other communication connection requests.

Typically, the user is prompted in a conventional manner when the electronic device receives a communication connection request. For example, the user may be prompted by ringing, vibrating, etc.

Further, under the condition that the input of the user to the communication connection request is not received within the preset time length, the camera is controlled to rotate, and the camera is controlled to collect images.

The input of the user to the communication connection request includes answering input, refusing input and the like.

The application scenes are as follows: the user and the electronic equipment are not in the same space, the electronic equipment is placed in a living room, but the user can not find the communication connection request in time when cooking in a kitchen; for another example, the user is in a noisy environment and cannot find the communication connection request in time.

By default, the preset time period is 2 minutes. The user can customize the preset duration according to the requirement, and further, the user can set different preset durations aiming at different calling parties.

Therefore, in this step, the electronic device can control the camera to rotate and control the acquisition of the image, so that the image around the electronic device can be acquired based on the position of the electronic device.

Step 120: and determining a target flight line according to at least one frame of image acquired by the camera in the first time period.

In the step, the position of the user can be determined or the possible position of the user can be judged based on the image collected by the camera in the rotating process, so that the target flight line of the camera can be determined according to the collected image, the camera flies according to the target flight line after being separated from the body, the user is found, and the current call connection request of the user is informed.

Optionally, a first time period is set in this step, so that the camera collects at least one frame of image in the first time period, and thereby finds the face image of the user in the collected image; and if the images acquired within the first time period do not have the face images of the users, analyzing the acquired environment images.

For example, after the user does not answer the call for a long time, the electronic device may control the camera to collect the face images of the user around, so as to control the camera to fly towards the user according to the collected face images of the user.

For another example, after the user does not answer the call for a long time, the electronic device may control the camera to collect the face images of the user around, and if the face images cannot be collected, the possible position of the user may be intelligently analyzed according to the collected environment images, so that the camera may be controlled to fly towards the possible position of the user.

In addition, the camera can be controlled to rotate by a preset angle.

On one hand, under the condition that the face image of the user is collected, the preset angle is related to the face image of the user, namely the rotation is stopped after the face image of the user is collected; on the other hand, under the condition that the face image of the user cannot be acquired, the preset angle can be defined in a user-defined mode, namely the camera stops rotating after rotating by the preset angle, and if the preset angle is 360 degrees.

A user can enter a preset face image aiming at the method in the embodiment; in addition, a face image prestored in the electronic equipment can be acquired as a preset face image. Exemplarily, an image acquired by the camera in the rotation process can be matched with a preset face image, and if the matching is successful, a face image of a user is acquired; and if the matching fails, the face image of the user cannot be acquired.

Optionally, the preset face image is a face image of the local user.

Step 130: and controlling the camera to separate from the body and controlling the camera to fly according to the target flight line.

In this step, the camera is controlled to be separated from the body, and the flying state is entered. When the camera is in a flying state, the camera is controlled to fly according to the target flying line.

Step 140: and under the condition that the image collected by the camera comprises the target user, outputting first prompt information.

Optionally, the camera continuously maintains the rotation and image capturing actions while the camera is in flight.

In the step, when the image acquired by the camera includes the target user, that is, the camera acquires the face image of the target user in the flight state, which indicates that the target user is found, first prompt information is output to prompt the target user of the current communication connection request.

Wherein the target user may be a native user.

For example, in an application scenario, after the input of the communication connection request by the user is not received within a preset time period, the camera is controlled to fly to find the user, and after the user is found, the first prompt information is output to prompt the user of unread information.

Optionally, the first prompt message includes a prompt tone or the like.

Illustratively, in another application scenario, when the electronic device receives a communication connection request, the electronic device prompts the user in at least one of a first ring volume and a first vibration frequency.

Referring to this, the first ringing volume is 40% of the maximum volume, and the first vibration frequency is 40% of the maximum frequency. Therefore, the user cannot be disturbed by the incoming call ringing or the incoming call vibration too much, and the user cannot be noticed by the incoming call ringing or the incoming call vibration too little.

The specific value of the first ringing volume and the specific value of the first vibration frequency can be adjusted according to the setting of the user.

Further, after the input of the user to the communication connection request is not received within the preset time, the electronic device continuously prompts the user in at least one mode of the first ringing volume and the first vibration frequency, and controls the camera to fly to search for the user. After finding the user, outputting first prompt information, wherein the form of the first prompt information is compared with that of an initial prompt method, the ringing volume can be increased, and the vibration frequency is increased; or simply increase the ringing volume; or simply increase the frequency of vibration; so as to enhance the prompting effect and be discovered by the user.

Optionally, the body may output the first prompt information, and the camera may output the first prompt information.

Alternatively, the form of the first prompt information is not limited to a bell, a vibration, a prompt tone. Thus, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the electronic device receives the communication connection request, the user is preferentially prompted with at least one of a conventional ring and a shake. Further, if the input of the user to the communication connection request is not received within the preset time, it is analyzed that the user may be far away from the electronic device, the current environment is noisy, and the like, and therefore, the prompt is not noticed, so that the information prompting method implemented based on the separated rotating camera in the embodiment is started. In this embodiment, the electronic device does not receive the input of the user to the communication connection request within the preset time length, and then the camera is controlled to rotate and acquire an image, so that images around the electronic device can be acquired, and then the position of the user is captured according to at least one frame of image acquired within a first time period in the rotation process of the camera, or information such as the position where the user may be located is judged, so as to determine a target flight line of the camera according to the information, further control the camera to be separated from the body, so that the camera flies according to the target flight line in a separated state, and meanwhile, the camera is continuously controlled to rotate and acquire the image, so as to find the user. In the case where the image captured by the camera includes the target user, the first prompt information is output to make the user notice the communication connection request. Therefore, the separated rotatable camera is fully utilized, and the user can be found in time by combining the collected images, so that the user is informed of the communication request which is not answered, the user can respond in time, and the user is prevented from missing.

Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a method for assisting an electronic device to prompt a user to process a communication connection request in time through a camera, which not only has strong technological sense, but also can solve the problem of missed calls due to the fact that the user and the electronic device are not in a space and the like.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, a step sequence is provided, that is, the target flight path is determined, and then the camera is controlled to fly according to the target flight path. In further embodiments, further steps may be provided, such as controlling the camera to fly first, and then determining the target flight path during the flight. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention provides only one possible step sequence, but does not limit the execution sequence of each step.

The application scenes are as follows: the method comprises the steps that a target user is not included in an image collected by a camera in an installation state, and meanwhile, the position of the user cannot be predicted according to the collected image, the camera is controlled to be separated from a body to enter a flight state, and then a target flight line is determined according to the image collected by the camera in the flight state.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present invention further provides a flow of an information prompting method according to another embodiment, and step 120 includes:

step 1201: and under the condition that the target frame image acquired by the camera in the first time period comprises the target user, acquiring the position information of the target user according to the target frame image.

Optionally, the frame image in the first time period may be compared with the face image of the target user, and if the target frame image in the first time period is successfully compared with the face image of the target user, the target frame image in the first time period is considered to include the target user; and if the comparison between the frame image in the first time period and the face image of the target user fails, determining that the frame image in the first time period does not include the target user.

In this embodiment, for a case where the target frame image in the first period includes the target user, the position information of the target user may be acquired in the target frame image including the target user.

Illustratively, the location information includes the orientation of the user relative to the camera, the distance of the user relative to the camera, the area in which the user is located, and the like.

Step 1202: and under the condition that the position information of the target user meets the preset condition, determining the target flight line according to the position information of the target user.

The preset condition is that the distance between the target user and the camera is larger than a preset threshold value.

Alternatively, the preset threshold may be customized by a user or automatically set inside the device.

In the step, when the camera collects a face image of a user in an installation state and the distance between the user and the camera is detected to be greater than a preset threshold value, the user is far away from the electronic equipment, so that the user cannot find a communication connection request in time, and the camera is ready to be controlled to fly to inform the user. In the process of determining the target flight path, the target flight path can be determined by combining an environment image acquired by the camera, such as an obstacle in the environment image, so that the camera can smoothly fly to a user along the target flight path after being separated from the body.

Exemplarily, in the target frame image, position information of a target user is acquired, and the position information indicates that the user is currently located in a kitchen, and then it is determined that a departure position is a current position of the electronic device, and an end position is a target flight line of the kitchen.

Further, the environment image collected by the camera, such as the environment image between the living room and the kitchen when the electronic device is currently in the living room, may also be combined, where the environment image includes a passage position, an obstacle position, and the like. And in the target frame image, acquiring the position information of the target user, wherein the position information indicates that the user is currently in the kitchen, and determining that the target flight line is the target flight line with the starting position of the current electronic equipment, the midway passage between the living room and the kitchen and the end point position of the kitchen.

In the present embodiment, when the camera is in the mounted state, the camera is controlled to rotate to capture an image of 360 ° to identify the user in the captured image. Further, if the user is identified, the position information of the user is obtained, the target flight line is determined under the condition that the position information meets the preset condition, the camera is controlled to automatically pop up the body and fly according to the target flight line, and therefore the camera can fly to the user accurately and quickly.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present invention further provides a flow of an information prompting method according to another embodiment, and step 140 includes:

step 1401: and under the condition that the image acquired by the camera comprises the target user, acquiring the real-time distance between the target user and the camera.

Step 1402: and under the condition that the real-time distance is smaller than the first threshold value, outputting first prompt information, wherein the first prompt information is used for prompting the communication connection request.

In this embodiment, for a situation that a target frame image acquired by the camera in the first time period includes a target user, in a flying process of the camera, images are acquired simultaneously, and if it is detected that the image acquired by the camera includes the target user, a real-time distance between the target user and the camera may be acquired based on the image including the target user.

Further, the image collected by the camera comprises a target user, and when the real-time distance between the target user and the camera is smaller than a first threshold value, first prompt information is output.

In this case, the first prompt information may be outputted in the form of gradually changing the ring volume and/or the vibration frequency as the real-time distance between the target user and the camera gradually decreases.

The change rule of the ringing volume and/or the vibration frequency can be customized by a user or set by the inside of the equipment.

For example, to attract the attention of the user, when the real-time distance between the target user and the camera is smaller than the first threshold value, and the real-time distance between the target user and the camera gradually decreases, the ringing sound volume can be increased, and/or the vibration frequency can be increased on the basis of the conventional prompting mode.

Optionally, the first threshold in this embodiment may be customized by a user, or may be set inside the device.

In the embodiment, the real-time distance between the target user and the camera can be further acquired aiming at the condition that the target user is acquired by the camera in the flying process, so that the first prompt information is output when the target user is close to the camera, the user can sense the prompt in a close range, and the probability of missing the communication connection request is further reduced.

In another embodiment of the invention, a speaker and other devices can be arranged in the camera, so that the camera can realize the prompting of ringing, vibration and the like in the flying process, and thus, as the camera is closer to the user, the user can more easily perceive the prompting output by the camera.

step 1203: under the condition that the frame image collected by the camera in the first time period does not include the target user, the environment information included in the frame image in the first time period is acquired.

Step 1204: and determining a target flight line according to the environmental information.

In the embodiment, the camera is controlled to collect images in the installation state, and on one hand, the camera is used for identifying target users in the images so as to determine a target flight line according to the target users; and on the other hand, the method is used for acquiring the surrounding environment in the image, so as to determine the target flight path by combining the target user in the image and the surrounding environment, or judging the position of the user according to the surrounding environment and determining the target flight path.

Therefore, in the embodiment, for the case that the frame image acquired by the camera in the first time period does not include the target user, the environment information may be acquired in the frame image in the first time period, so as to determine the position of the user according to the environment information, and determine the target flight path by combining the determination result and the acquired environment information.

The method comprises the steps of obtaining environment information such as obstacles, doors, passageways, crowds and the like in an application scene such as a frame image in a first time period to determine a target flight line. In the process of determining the target flight line, obstacles in the environment need to be avoided, and rooms, passageways and the like need to be planned in the target flight line; in addition, considering that the users cannot find the prompt because of the large number of people gathering together, and the crowd gathering area can be predicted to be the position of the users, the crowd gathering area in the image is determined as the destination of the target flight line.

In this embodiment, for the case that the frame image acquired by the camera in the first time period does not include the target user, the environment information in the frame image in the first time period may be acquired, and the target flight path is further determined according to the environment information, such as the aisle, the room position, the door position, and the like; meanwhile, the position of the user can be judged according to environmental information such as crowd gathering places and the like, and the target flight line can be determined.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present invention further provides a flow of an information prompting method according to another embodiment, which further includes, after step 130:

step 150: and under the condition that the image acquired by the camera does not comprise the target user, acquiring the real-time flight distance of the camera.

Step 160: and outputting second prompt information based on the first prompt information under the condition that the real-time flight distance is larger than a second threshold value.

And the prompting intensity of the second prompting information is weaker than that of the first prompting information.

In this embodiment, in the process of flying the camera, if the image collected by the camera does not include the target user, in order to save power consumption, when the real-time flying distance of the camera is long, the second prompt information may be output based on the first prompt information, and the prompt intensity of the second prompt information is weaker than the prompt intensity of the first prompt information.

For example, if the first prompt information is in the form of at least one of a ringing sound and a vibration, the second prompt information corresponds to at least one of a ringing sound and a vibration, and the ringing sound volume and the vibration frequency in the second prompt information are reduced compared to the ringing sound and the vibration in the first prompt information.

Optionally, the ringing sound volume in the second prompt message gradually decreases, and the vibration frequency gradually decreases. For example, when the real-time flight distance is greater than the second threshold value, the ringing sound volume gradually decreases and the vibration frequency gradually decreases as the real-time flight distance gradually increases.

In an application scenario, for example, when the position of the user is not determined in the target flight line, and a phenomenon that the user cannot be found after long-distance flight may occur in the camera flight process, in order to save power consumption, the second prompt information is output under the condition that the real-time flight distance is greater than the second threshold, and the prompt intensity of the second prompt information is weaker than that of the first prompt information compared with that of the first prompt information. Further, when the user is found, the first reminding information can be updated. Therefore, the power consumption can be saved, and the function of prompting the user can be achieved.

Optionally, the second threshold may be customized by a user, or may be set internally.

The real-time flight distance is the actual flight distance after entering the flight state, and can also be the real-time distance between the camera and the body.

In another embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the real-time flight distance is greater than the third threshold, the third prompt message is output based on the first prompt message, and the prompt intensity of the third prompt message is stronger than the prompt intensity of the first prompt message.

For example, if the first prompt information is in the form of at least one of a ringing sound and a vibration, the third prompt information corresponds to at least one of a ringing sound and a vibration, and the ringing sound volume and the vibration frequency in the third prompt information are increased compared to the ringing sound and the vibration in the first prompt information.

Optionally, the ringing sound volume in the third prompt message gradually increases, and the vibration frequency gradually increases. For example, when the real-time flight distance is greater than the third threshold value, the ringing sound volume gradually increases and the vibration frequency gradually increases as the real-time flight distance gradually increases.

For example, when the position of the user is not clearly determined in the target flight path, the user may not be found after a long-distance flight in the flight process of the camera, so that the user can be noticed by at least one of increasing the ringing volume and increasing the vibration frequency.

Optionally, the third threshold may be customized by a user, or may be set internally.

It should be noted that, if the communication connection request is not interrupted and the prompt is continuously output in the conventional manner during the flight of the camera, an increase or decrease change may be performed on the basis of the conventional prompt manner to output any one of the first output information, the second output information and the third output information. The prompting intensity of the third prompting information is stronger than that of the conventional prompting mode, and the prompting intensity of the second prompting information is weaker than that of the conventional prompting mode.

In another embodiment of the invention, optionally, in the process of flying the camera, the face image of the user is not acquired all the time, and after a certain flying time or a certain flying distance, the camera can be controlled to fly towards the body. The method is not limited to returning from the original route or re-determining the returned flight route.

Aiming at the multiple embodiments that the face images of the user are not collected all the time in the flying process of the camera, different prompt messages can be output according to different conditions, so that different functions of saving power consumption, enhancing prompt and the like are achieved. In practical application, even if the user is not found in the flying process of the camera, compared with the prior art, a way for finding the user is provided, so that the probability that the user misses communication is reduced.

step 170: acquiring picture information included in at least one frame of image acquired by the camera in a second time period, wherein the picture information includes at least one of the following items: environment information, face information of the target user.

Step 180: and updating the target flight line according to the picture information.

In the foregoing embodiment, when the camera is in the installation state, the camera can acquire images around by rotating, and the images include information of a target user, an environment and the like, so that a target flight line of the camera can be determined based on the acquired images, and the camera can conveniently and quickly find the user.

Further, in this embodiment, it is considered that the images collected by the camera in the installation state are limited, so that the target flight line can be updated in real time by collecting the images around the camera in the flight state.

In the application scenario, for example, after the target flight line is determined based on the user position, the change of the user position is collected in the flight process of the camera, and then the target flight line can be updated according to the changed user position.

In another example of the application scenario, after the target flight path is determined, in the flight process of the camera, the acquired image includes the obstacle, and the target flight path is updated according to the obstacle so as to avoid the obstacle.

In another example of the application scenario, after the target flight path is determined, in the flight process of the camera, the possible position of the user is acquired, and then the target flight path is updated according to the possible position of the user.

In this embodiment, in the process of controlling the flight of the camera, the target flight line of the camera can be updated in real time by combining the actual situation information reflected in the collected image, including the environmental information and the face information of the target user, so as to help the camera fly to the user as soon as possible, and reduce the probability that the user misses the communication.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present invention further provides a flow of an information prompting method according to another embodiment, which further includes, after step 140:

step 190: and executing target control operation under the condition that the image acquired by the camera comprises the action information of the target user and the action information of the target user is preset action information.

In this embodiment, in the process of flying the camera, the acquired image includes the action information of the target user, and the action information is the preset action information, and then the target control operation corresponding to the preset action information is executed.

Correspondingly, preset action information and corresponding target control operation can be input in advance.

Illustratively, the preset action information is a designated gesture action. The target control operation includes at least one of remote answering, rejecting a communication connection request, turning off a prompt, reducing ring volume, and reducing vibration frequency. Wherein, different gesture actions correspond to different control operations respectively.

Optionally, the image acquired by the camera includes the motion information of the target user, which at least includes the face information of the target user and the motion information of the target user.

Optionally, the acquired image is compared with face information of a target user, which is input in advance, if the comparison is successful, the acquired image is compared with preset action information, and if the comparison is successful, the image acquired by the camera includes the action information of the target user. Otherwise, if one of the comparison items fails, the image acquired by the camera does not include the action information of the target user.

In the application scene, for example, after the user sees the camera, the user makes a specified gesture action in the shooting picture, that is, the user knows the existence prompt, at the moment, the ringing volume can be reduced, the vibration frequency can be reduced, the power consumption can be reduced, and the disturbance to people around the user can be avoided.
