该研究提出佩戴于食指基部指关节的可穿戴系统CaRing，通过光流传感器检测鼠标使用起止，约90%事件可在标注两秒内被检测，助力预防腕管综合征。
AI 中文摘要
我们提出了CaRing，一种佩戴于食指基部指关节的戒指式可穿戴系统，用于检测鼠标使用的开始与结束，以帮助预防腕管综合征——其中正中神经的损伤是永久性的。CaRing可感知手指运动，这是软件计时器或腕戴设备都无法检测到的。光流传感器所报告的位移会被累积为一个运行值，每次会话开始时，当手放在桌面上休息时会测量零点。通过这种方式，开始和结束阈值相对于会话的零点来表示。CaRing无需引入任何针对用户的参数。我们通过35条记录和10名用户的实验室研究，经验证表明，约90%的开始和结束事件能在研究者标注的两秒内被检测到。
英文摘要
We present CaRing, a ring worn on the base knuckle of the index finger, a wearable system for detecting the start and end of mouse use to help prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, in which the damage to the median nerve is permanent. CaRing senses finger movement, which neither a software timer nor a wrist-worn device detects. The displacement reported by an optical flow sensor is accumulated into a running value, then a zero point is measured while the hand rests on the desk at the start of each session. With this formulation, the start and end thresholds are expressed relative to the session's zero point. CaRing does not introduce any per-user parameter. We empirically demonstrate that approximately $90\%$ of start and end events are detected within two seconds of the researcher's label, using 35 recordings and a lab study with ten users.
