  • Publication number: 20240001220
    Abstract: A somatosensory interaction method is provided. The electronic device may determine an exercise load of a somatosensory action of somatosensory interaction content based on a figure of a user. During somatosensory interaction, the electronic device may obtain a heart rate of the user to adjust the exercise load of the somatosensory action of the somatosensory interaction content. If an exercise capability indicated by the figure and the heart rate of the user is stronger, the exercise load of the somatosensory action of the somatosensory interaction content is higher. On the contrary, the exercise load of the somatosensory action of the somatosensory interaction content is lower.

  • Publication number: 20230401897
    Abstract: A method for preventing hand gesture misrecognition is provided. In the method for preventing hand gesture misrecognition, whether a user is exercising is recognized by obtaining motion data of the user in real time, to choose whether to disable a hand gesture recognition function. If the object user is exercising, the electronic device does not perform hand gesture recognition; or if the object user is not exercising, the electronic device performs hand gesture recognition. In addition, in the method, a trigger threshold for hand gesture recognition may further be adaptively adjusted based on a deflection angle between a human body plane of the user and a plane on which the electronic device is located.
