Abstract
An embodiment of this disclosure provides a wearable device. The wearable device includes a memory configured to store a plurality of content for display, a transceiver configured to receive the plurality of content from a connected device, a display configured to display the plurality of content, and a processor coupled to the memory, the display, and the transceiver. The processor is configured to control the display to display at least some of the plurality of content in a spatially arranged format. The displayed content is on the display at a display position. The plurality of content, when shown on the connected device, is not in the spatially arranged format. The processor is also configured to receive movement information based on a movement of the wearable device. The processor is also configured to adjust the display position of the displayed content according to the movement information of the wearable device.
Background
Currently, devices are being used to provide augmented reality (AR) experiences. AR provides for is a technology enriching the real world with digital information. Head mounted display (HMD) devices are connected to a mobile device to display notifications and other information from a mobile device. The HMD devices also display content from a particular application from the mobile device. These HMDs do not provide access to all the content of the mobile device nor do they provide the visual and interactive experience of engaging with a mobile device. Other HMDs provide a more immersive and interactive experience but do not address the issue of displaying and interacting with all the phone content in a manner that leverages the advantages afforded by the HMD platform.
Summary
An embodiment of this disclosure provides a wearable device. The wearable device includes a memory configured to store a plurality of content for display, a transceiver configured to receive the plurality of content from a connected device, a display configured to display the plurality of content, and a processor coupled to the memory, the display, and the transceiver. The processor is configured to control the display to display at least some of the plurality of content in a spatially arranged format. The displayed content is on the display at a display position. The plurality of content, when shown on the connected device, is not in the spatially arranged format. The processor is also configured to receive movement information based on a movement of the wearable device. The processor is also configured to adjust the display position of the displayed content according to the movement information of the wearable device.
Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a wearable device. The wearable device include at least one sensor configured to obtain environment information, a memory configured to store environment information, a display configured to display an alert based on the environment information, and at least one processor coupled to the memory, display, and the at least one sensor. The at least one processor is configured to receive the environment information from the at least one sensor. The at least one processor is also configured to determine whether the environment information triggers an alert. The at least one processor is also configured to control the display to display the alert within a field of vision of a user.
Yet another embodiment of this disclosure provides a wearable device. The wearable device includes a memory configured to store biometric feedback of a user, a display configured to display the biometric feedback, and at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display. The at least one processor is configured to control the display to display the biometric feedback within a field of vision of the user.
Yet a further embodiment of this disclosure provides a method of managing a plurality of content on a wearable device. The method includes receiving the plurality of content from a connected device. The plurality of content, when shown on the connected device, is not in a spatially arranged format. The method also includes displaying at least some of the plurality of content on a display of the wearable device in a spatially arranged format. The displayed content on the display is at a display position. The method also includes receiving movement information based on a movement of the wearable device. The method also includes adjusting the display position of the displayed content according to the movement information of the wearable device.
Other technical features may be readily apparent to one skilled in the art from the following figures, descriptions, and claims.
Before undertaking the DETAILED DESCRIPTION below, it may be advantageous to set forth definitions of certain words and phrases used throughout this patent document. The term “couple” and its derivatives refer to any direct or indirect communication between two or more elements, whether or not those elements are in physical contact with one another. The terms “transmit,” “receive,” and “communicate,” as well as derivatives thereof, encompass both direct and indirect communication. The terms “include” and “comprise,” as well as derivatives thereof, mean inclusion without limitation. The term “or” is inclusive, meaning and/or. The phrase “associated with,” as well as derivatives thereof, means to include, be included within, interconnect with, contain, be contained within, connect to or with, couple to or with, be communicable with, cooperate with, interleave, juxtapose, be proximate to, be bound to or with, have, have a property of, have a relationship to or with, or the like. The term “controller” means any device, system or part thereof that controls at least one operation. Such a controller may be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and software and/or firmware. The functionality associated with any particular controller may be centralized or distributed, whether locally or remotely. The phrase “at least one of,” when used with a list of items, means that different combinations of one or more of the listed items may be used, and only one item in the list may be needed. For example, “at least one of: A, B, and C” includes any of the following combinations: A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, and A and B and C.
Moreover, various functions described below can be implemented or supported by one or more computer programs, each of which is formed from computer readable program code and embodied in a computer readable medium. The terms “application” and “program” refer to one or more computer programs, software components, sets of instructions, procedures, functions, objects, classes, instances, related data, or a portion thereof adapted for implementation in a suitable computer readable program code. The phrase “computer readable program code” includes any type of computer code, including source code, object code, and executable code. The phrase “computer readable medium” includes any type of medium capable of being accessed by a computer, such as read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), a hard disk drive, a compact disc (CD), a digital video disc (DVD), or any other type of memory. A “non-transitory” computer readable medium excludes wired, wireless, optical, or other communication links that transport transitory electrical or other signals. A non-transitory computer readable medium includes media where data can be permanently stored and media where data can be stored and later overwritten, such as a rewritable optical disc or an erasable memory device.
Definitions for other certain words and phrases are provided throughout this patent document. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that in many if not most instances, such definitions apply to prior as well as future uses of such defined words and phrases.
