Virtual reality system and method for controlling operation modes of virtual reality system
First Claim
1. A virtual reality system, comprising:
- a host device;
a transmission cable;
a head mounted display apparatus to be worn by a user and coupled to the host device via the transmission cable, comprising;
a multimedia module, receiving multimedia content from the host device via a first signal path of the transmission cable;
a multi-sensing module, obtaining sensing information regarding the head mounted display apparatus and the user;
a peripheral hub, receiving communication data from the host device via a second signal path of the transmission cable, and providing the sensing information to the host device via the second signal path of the transmission cable;
a power management device, controlling power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub according to a power voltage from the host device via a third signal path of the transmission cable; and
a micro control unit, detecting in which mode the virtual reality system is operating according to signal status of the first and second signal paths of the transmission cable, so as to notify the power management device to control the power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub;
a connection control unit coupled between the host device and the transmission cable, enhancing signal strength of the communication data and the sensing information; and
a base station, comprising;
a signal broadcasting module, providing reference information to the head mounted display apparatus;
a first Bluetooth transceiver, communicating with a second Bluetooth transceiver of the connection control unit, and providing position information to the head mounted display apparatus via the connection control unit; and
a timer,wherein in response to a trigger signal from the second Bluetooth transceiver of the connection control unit, the timer is reset to count time.

Abstract
A virtual reality system is provided. A head mounted display apparatus is coupled to a host device via a transmission cable. A multimedia module receives multimedia content via a first signal path of the transmission cable. A multi-sensing module obtains sensing information regarding the head mounted display apparatus and the user. A power management device controls the power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub according to a power voltage via a third signal path of the transmission cable. The micro control unit detects in which mode the virtual reality system is operating according to the signal status of the first and second signal paths of the transmission cable to notify the power management device to control the power status of the multimedia module, the multi-sensing module, and the peripheral hub.
