Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a virtual reality head-mounted apparatus are provided. One of the apparatus includes: an apparatus body being provided with a convex lens and a camera, the camera being located on a user side of the convex lens, and a lens of the camera facing an eye of the user to acquire eye pattern features of the user. The virtual reality head-mounted apparatus may acquire eye pattern features of the user without interrupting the displaying of virtual reality contents, and quickly and accurately perform identity verification on the user based on the eye pattern features.

Claims (25)

1. A virtual reality head-mounted apparatus, comprising:

an apparatus body comprising two convex lenses, an electronic device, and two cameras, the two cameras being respectively located at a user side of the two convex lenses for acquiring eye pattern features of a user corresponding to each of the two convex lenses, and a lens of a first camera of the two cameras directly facing an eye of the user for acquiring the eye pattern features of the user, the electronic device located on a side of the two convex lenses away from the user and configured for displaying virtual reality content and receiving the eye pattern features from the cameras,

wherein the apparatus further comprises an apparatus interface provided on the apparatus body on the side of the convex lens away from the user, the apparatus interface being electrically connected to the electronic device and the two cameras,

and the two cameras are configured to, upon receiving a control instruction transmitted by the electronic device through the apparatus interface, acquire, without relying on an optical surface of the electronic device, the eye pattern features, and send the acquired eye pattern features to the electronic device, and

wherein the electronic device is further configured to conduct, based on the eye pattern features, identity verification on the user without interrupting the displaying of the virtual reality content.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is located below a first convex lens of the two convex lenses, and tilts upward by a first angle, so that the lens of the first camera faces the eye of the user.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is located above a first convex lens of the two convex lenses, and tilts downward by a second angle, so that the lens of the first camera faces the eye of the user.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is located outside a visible area of a first convex lens of the two convex lenses with respect to the user.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is in contact with an edge of a first convex lens of the two convex lenses.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is an RGB camera or an RGB-IR camera.

7. A virtual reality head-mounted apparatus, comprising:

an apparatus body comprising a convex lens and a camera, the camera being on a user side of the convex lens, and a lens of the camera directly facing an eye of a user for acquiring eye pattern features of the user;

an apparatus interface; and

an electronic device for displaying virtual reality content and receiving the eye pattern features from the camera, and located on a side of the convex lens away from the user, the apparatus interface being electrically connected to the electronic device and located on the side of the convex lens away from the user,

wherein the camera is connected to the apparatus interface through a data line, and, is configured to, upon receiving a switch control instruction from the electronic device through the apparatus interface and the data line, acquire, in response to the switch control instruction and without relying on an optical surface of the electronic device, eye pattern features, and send the acquired eye pattern features to the electronic device,

wherein the electronic device is further configured to conduct, based on the eye pattern features, identity verification on the user without interrupting the displaying of the virtual reality content.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an adjustment component for performing angular adjustment for the first camera, such that the lens of the first camera faces the eye of the user.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the camera is located below the convex lens, and tilts upward by a first angle, so that the lens of the camera faces the eye of the user.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the camera is located above the convex lens, and tilts downward by a second angle, so that the lens of the camera faces the eye of the user.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the camera is located outside a visible area of the convex lens with respect to the user.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the camera is in contact with an edge of the convex lens.

13. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the camera is an RGB camera or an RGB-IR camera.

14. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

an adjustment component for performing angular adjustment for the camera, such that the lens of the camera faces the eye of the user.
