Definitions
- Invention is concerned of new method of scanning of movement and new construction of data glove.
- the invention belongs to the field of sensing Technics.
- Another sensing method is scanning with the help of optical fibres, which is widelly used in present time.
- the method is based on sensing of light current during bending of two, against isolated optical fibres. Both optical fibres are aiming opposite to each other. The more finger is stretched, the more light penetrates from one fibre to another and vice versa. Of course, the fibres have to be placed in the dark and the ends of the fibres have to be as straight as possible. It is very practical solution, because the environment influences the sensing of movement in minimum. Disadvantage of this sensing method is pretentious electronic equipement and preciseness of mechanical construction.
- Another known sensing method with using infra-red beams requires a placement of special balls e.g. on hand, which reflect infra-red beams to all sides. Infra-red beams reflected from hand are sensored by infra-red cameras from at least three angles. There was a sensing method with four cameras used in practice. This method is expensive, because except of cameras there is a need for suitable intelligent software and efficient computer for determining the position in space. The advantage of this sensing method is the possibility to sense absolute position of whole body in space. Previously described sensing methods can not determine the absolute position of sensed object in space.
- the most widely used sensing method is probably the one with the help of ultrasound. It enables to determine absolute position in space.
- Ultrasound sensing method in combination with two scanners is used for ascertaining of winding up.
- Sensing with the help of two small gyroscopes is used more often. They sense slight turning either according to gravitational field of the earth or to magnetic field of the earth.
- Data glove is able to remove the above mentioned insufficiencies according to claims described in invention. Its essence is based on placing the scanners of movement made of cunductive gum in local places. Local places are considered to be bends on fingers and wrist.
- Further essence of the invention is based on characteristic method of fixing the scanners of movement made of conductive gum to glove. It is advantageous if scanners of movement from conductive gum are at least partly thermicly fixed to the glove e.g. ironed or glued by suitable glue.
- Another point in the invention is the fact that scannerts of movement from conductive gum are equiped with outlets flowing in A/D converter.
- an excution data glove can be equiped with ultrasound sender for detecting absolute position in space.
- Picture, number 1 shows the placement of local places (la, lc, le, and If) on the object of data glove.
- Picture, number 2 shows the placement of other local places (lb, Id) on the object of data glove.
- Picture number 3 and number 4 shows the fixing of scanners (2) of movement on data glove in local places (la to If).
- Data glove solution is the following one. There are scanners 2 of movement made of conductive gum placed in local places la to If of data glove. Local places of data glove are places la of upper part of fingers, place le on the wrist, place le in lower thumb part and place if of lower part of wrist rotationally aiming to lower part of forearm, as it is demonstrated on picture number 1. Other local places of data glove are places lb between individual fingers and place Id on outer palm part, as it is shown on picture number 2.
- Every scanner 2 from conductive gum contains two outlets 3, which are in one variant of realisation output by cable besides data glove.
- realisation outlets 3 from individual scanners 2 of movement are connected to 12 bit A/D converter 4, as it is demonstrated on picture number 3. If there is a requirement on data glove to ascertain absolute position in space, then it is additionally equipped with ultrasound sender 5 as it is demonstrated on picture number 4.
- the sensing method of movement can be used not only for scanning the movement of hand, but also for scanning the movement of leg or other parts of body.
- the scanners of movement it is possible to construct not only data glove, but also data leg or data suit.
