Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium for seeking help and a smart footwear. The method includes detecting a user operation with respect to the smart footwear, and executing a help seeking operation using the smart footwear when the user operation matches a predefined alarm operation.

Claims

1. A method for seeking help, which is applied in a smart footwear, comprising:

detecting a user operation with respect to the smart footwear; and

executing a help seeking operation using the smart footwear when the detected user operation matches a predefined alarm operation.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting the user operation with respect to the smart footwear comprises:

receiving an audio towards the smart footwear; and

when the audio matches a predefined alarm audio, determining that the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein receiving the audio towards the smart footwear comprises at least one of:

acquiring the audio by a first audio reception circuit in the smart footwear; and

transmitting an audio acquisition request to an electronic device associated with the smart footwear such that the electronic device acquires the audio by a second audio reception circuit in the electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting the user operation with respect to the smart footwear comprises:

detecting an action on the smart footwear; and

when the action matches a predefined alarm action, determining that the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein detecting the action on the smart footwear comprises at least one of:

acquiring space attitude information of the smart footwear, wherein the space attitude information describes the action; and

acquiring pressure information of the smart footwear, wherein the pressure information describes the action.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein executing the help seeking operation comprises:

executing the help seeking operation when the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation and a number of the user operation executed reaches a preset number.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein executing the help seeking operation comprises:

determining the predefined alarm operation that matches the user operation; and

selecting the help seeking operation corresponding to the predefined alarm operation that matches the user operation, and executing the selected help seeking operation.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein executing the help seeking operation comprises at least one of:

issuing an alarm or transmitting distress information to a predefined rescue object by using an electronic device associated with the smart footwear; and

issuing the alarm or transmitting the distress information to the predefined rescue object by using the smart footwear.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein transmitting the distress information to the predefined rescue object comprises:

transmitting a near field message to vicinity of the smart footwear, wherein the predefined rescue object comprises devices in the vicinity of the smart footwear.

10. A device for seeking help, which is applied in a smart footwear, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to;

detect a user operation with respect to the smart footwear; and

execute a help seeking operation using the smart footwear when the user operation matches a predefined alarm operation.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive audio towards the smart footwear; and

determine that the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation when the audio matches a predefined alarm audio.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive an audio towards the smart footwear; and

/or transmit an audio acquisition request to an electronic device associated with the smart footwear, and receive the audio returned from the electronic device.

13. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

detect an action on the smart footwear; and

determine that the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation when the action matches a predefined alarm action.

14. The device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire space attitude information of the smart footwear, wherein the space attitude information describes the action; and

/or acquire pressure information of the smart footwear, wherein the pressure information describes the action.

15. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

count a number of the user operation executed when the user operation matches the predefined alarm operation, and execute the help seeking operation when the number reaches a preset number.

16. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the predefined alarm operation that matches the user operation; and

select the help seeking operation corresponding to the predefined alarm operation that matches the user operation, and execute the selected help seeking operation.

17. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to:

issue an alarm or transmit distress information to a predefined rescue object by using the smart footwear or by using an electronic device associated with the smart footwear.

18. The device of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit a near field message to vicinity of the smart footwear, wherein the predefined rescue object comprises devices in the vicinity of the smart footwear.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement:

detecting a user operation with respect to a smart footwear; and

executing a help seeking operation using the smart footwear when the detected user operation matches a predefined alarm operation.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the computer instructions further cause the processor to implement at least one of:

issuing an alarm or transmitting distress information to a predefined rescue object by using an electronic device associated with the smart footwear; and

issuing the alarm or transmitting the distress information to the predefined rescue object by using the smart footwear.
