Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a system and method. The system may include at least one storage device configured to storage computer instruction; and at least one processor, in communication with the storage device. When executing the computer instructions, the at least one processor is configured to direct the system to perform operations including: obtaining a sensing signal of at least one sensing device; identifying a signal feature of the sensing signal; and determining, based on the signal feature, an operation of a target object associated with the at least one sensing device.

Claims (52)

1. A system, comprising:

at least one storage device configured to store computer instructions; and

at least one processor in communication with the storage device, wherein when executing the computer instructions, the at least one processor is configured to direct the system to perform operations including:

obtaining a sensing signal of at least one sensing device, the at least one sensing device including a vibration sensing device and an audio input device, the vibration sensing device being arranged on a wearable device, the wearable device being attached to a body part of a user, and the vibration sensing device receiving the sensing signal that is a vibration signal generated by a body activity of the user through the wearable device;

determine whether the audio input device simultaneously receives user audio information when the vibration sensing device receives the sensing signal; and

in response to a determination that the audio input device receives user audio information, designating the sensing signal as a false trigger signal;

in response to a determination that the audio input device does not receive user audio information,

identifying a signal feature of the sensing signal; and

determining, based on the signal feature, an operation of a target object associated with the at least one sensing device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal feature include at least one of a count of vibration peaks, a signal strength, a time interval between two adjacent vibration peaks, frequency components, or a signal duration.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vibration sensing device is connected to a vibration receiving area through a solid medium, and receives a vibration signal input to the vibration receiving area.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the vibration signal is input to the vibration receiving area by knocking, patting, or scraping in the vibration receiving area.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the vibration sensing device is fixedly connected to the solid medium through at least one of bonding, inlaying, welding, riveting, or screw connection.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining a sensing signal of at least one sensing device includes:

obtaining a first sensing signal of the at least one sensing device;

determining whether the first sensing signal is greater than a signal threshold; and

in response to a determination that the first sensing signal is greater than the signal threshold, designating a signal that an interval between the signal and the first sensing signal is within a range of a threshold time as the sensing signal.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vibration sensing device is attached to a body part of a user, and the vibration sensing device receives the vibration signal generated by the body activity of the user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the body activity includes coughing, sneezing, snoring, yawning, or falling.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining, based on the signal feature, an operation of a target object associated with the at least one sensing device includes:

determining, based on the signal feature, a physiological status of the user; and

determining, based on the physiological status of the user, the operation of the target object corresponding to the physiological status.

10. The system of claim 9 , the determining, based on the signal feature, a physiological status of the user includes:

determining whether the signal feature meets a predetermined feature, the signal feature being a feature of the vibration signal generated by the body activity of the user; and

in response to the determination that the signal feature meets the predetermined feature, determining the physiological status corresponding to the predetermined feature.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operation of the target object includes a mobile terminal recording a health status or issuing an early warning.

in response to a determination that the audio input device receives user audio information, designating the sensing signal as a false trigger signal;

in response to a determination that the audio input device does not receive user audio information,

identifying a signal feature of the sensing signal, wherein the signal feature includes at least one of a count of vibration peaks, a signal strength, a time interval between two adjacent vibration peaks, frequency components, or a signal duration; and

determining, based on the signal feature, an operation of a target object associated with the at least one sensing device.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising

at least one set of computer instructions,

wherein when executed by at least one processor, the at least one set of computer instructions direct the at least one processor to perform operations including:

obtaining a sensing signal of at least one sensing device, the at least one sensing device including a vibration sensing device and an audio input device, the vibration sensing device being arranged on a wearable device, the wearable device being attached to a body part of a user, and the vibration sensing device receiving the sensing signal that is a vibration signal generated by a body activity of the user through the wearable device;

determine whether the audio input device simultaneously receives user audio information when the vibration sensing device receives the sensing signal; and
