Abstract

A device operating method, a device operating system, and a device, including: pre-establishing an instruction coordinate system, the instruction coordinate system and a reference orientation satisfying a preset position relationship; during use of the device, determining the current orientation in which the user is positioned with respect to the device, and adjusting the instruction coordinate system based on the current orientation and the reference orientation, such that the instruction coordinate system after adjustment and the current orientation satisfy the preset position relationship, and the position of the center of an interactive module in the instruction coordinate system after adjustment is the same as the position thereof in the instruction coordinate system before adjustment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device operating method, wherein an interactive module is disposed on top of a device, and the device operating method comprises:
pre-establishing an instruction coordinate system of the interactive module, wherein a relationship between the instruction coordinate system and a reference orientation of the interactive module satisfies a preset position relationship;
determining a current orientation in which a user is positioned with respect to the device;
adjusting the instruction coordinate system according to the current orientation and the reference orientation, such that a relationship between the instruction coordinate system after adjustment and the current orientation satisfies the preset position relationship, wherein a position of a center of the interactive module in the instruction coordinate system after adjustment is the same as a position of a center of the interactive module in the instruction coordinate system before adjustment; and
generating an operation instruction of the device based on the instruction coordinate system after adjustment and a user's operation action on the interactive module;
wherein adjusting the instruction coordinate system according to the current orientation and the reference orientation such that a relationship between the instruction coordinate system after adjustment and the current orientation satisfies the preset position relationship, comprises:
determining a preset rotation direction and a rotation angle, wherein the preset rotation direction comprises a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction, and the rotation angle is an angle rotating from the reference orientation to the current orientation in the preset rotation direction; and
controlling the instruction coordinate system to rotate the rotation angle in the preset rotation direction by taking a center of the interactive module as a rotation point.

2. The device operating method according to claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a plurality of proximity sensors disposed on a side thereof; and
wherein determining a current orientation in which a user is positioned with respect to the device comprises:
determining a distance between the user and each of the plurality of proximity sensors obtained based on data acquired by the plurality of proximity sensors when the user enters a detection range of the proximity sensor; and
determining the current orientation in which the user is positioned with respect to the device based on at least two determined distances between the user and the respective proximity sensors.

3. The device operating method according to claim 2 , wherein the proximity sensor is an ultrasonic sensor, a lidar sensor or an infrared TOF proximity sensor.

4. The device operating method according to claim 1 , wherein generating an operation instruction of the device based on the instruction coordinate system after adjustment and the user's operation action on the interactive module comprises:
determining an operation path of the user's operation action on the interactive module in the instruction coordinate system after adjustment based on the operation action; and
generating an operation instruction of the device based on the determined operation path and a preset operation path-instruction correspondence.

5. The device operating method according to claim 1 , wherein a relationship between a first coordinate axis of the instruction coordinate system and the reference orientation satisfies the preset position relationship, and the first coordinate axis is a horizontal ordinate axis or a longitudinal coordinate axis.

6. The device operating method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation action comprises a click operation and/or a sliding operation.

7. The device operating method according to claim 6 , wherein the sliding operation comprises a clockwise sliding and/or a counterclockwise sliding and/or a linear sliding from a first direction to a second direction, the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

8. A device, wherein an interactive module is disposed on top of the device, and the device further comprises:
a memory configured to store a computer program; and
a processor configured to implement steps of the device operating method according to claim 1 when executing the computer program.
