Abstract

An information display method, a head-mounted display, and a terminal device are provided. The information display method includes detecting an input operation for switching from a first display mode, for displaying a first display content through a display screen of the terminal device, to a second display mode, for displaying a second display content containing at least a portion displayed through the head-mounted device. The first display content and second display content correspond to a same source content. The information display method also includes in response to detecting the input operation, displaying the second display content at least partially through the head-mounted device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information display method, comprising:
detecting an input operation for switching from a first display mode, for displaying a first display content through a display screen of a terminal device, to a second display mode, for displaying a second display content containing at least a portion displayed through a head-mounted display, wherein the first display content and second display content correspond to a same source content; and responsive to detecting the input operation, displaying the second display content at least partially through the head-mounted display.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
in the second display mode, the second display content is entirely displayed through the head-mounted display, responsive to detecting the input operation.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further including:
obtaining a reworked first display content responsive to the input operation based on the first display content; obtaining a virtual display content matching with the reworked first display content; detecting a display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content; and displaying the virtual display content through the head-mounted display in a preset space area surrounding the display area of the display screen.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein:
the display area is non-overlapped with the preset space area, and the reworked first display content and the virtual display content together correspond to the source content.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein:
the input operation is a zoom-in operation; and the virtual display content corresponds to a content displayed exceeding the display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content, after performing the zoom-in operation on the first display content.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:
in response to the detected zoom-in operation, the head-mounted display obtains a content corresponding to the first display content, and obtains a zoom-in ratio of the first display content; and the content is displayed in accordance with the zoom-in ratio through the head-mounted display.

7 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein:
the input operation is a content-scrolling operation; and the virtual display content corresponds to a content displayed exceeding the display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content, after performing the content-scrolling operation on the first display content.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein:
the content-scrolling operation includes an up and down browsing operation of a web page, a document, or a combination thereof

9 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein:
in response to detecting an event including a scroll wheel rolling of a mouse and a page scrolling of a web page, the head-mounted display obtains a first part of the first display content and a second part of the first display content after the content-scrolling operation; the reworked first display content is obtained by processing both the first part of the first display content and the second part of the first display content, and is viewed through the head-mounted display; and the virtual display content matching with the reworked first display content is displayed through the head-mounted display.

10 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein:
the data transmission between the terminal device and the head-mounted display includes transmitting display data corresponding to the reworked first display content.

11 . A head-mounted display, comprising:
a processor, configured to detect an input operation for switching from a first display mode, for displaying a first display content through a display screen of a terminal device, to a second display mode, for displaying a second display content containing at least a portion displayed through the head-mounted display, wherein the first display content and second display content correspond to a same source content; a data receiver, configured to receive the source content from the terminal device, in response to the processor detecting the input operation; and a lens, configured to view at least the portion of the second display content, in the second display mode.

12 . The head-mounted display according to claim 11 , wherein:
the input operation includes one of a zoom-in operation, a zoom-out operation, and a content-scrolling operation.

13 . The head-mounted display according to claim 11 , wherein:
in the second display mode, the second display content is entirely displayed through the head-mounted display, responsive to detecting the input operation.

14 . The head-mounted display according to claim 11 , wherein the processor:
obtains a reworked first display content responsive to the input operation based on the first display content; obtains a virtual display content matching with the reworked first display content; detects a display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content; and displays the virtual display content through the head-mounted display in a preset space area surrounding the display area of the display screen.

15 . The head-mounted display according to claim 14 , wherein:
the display area is non-overlapped with the preset space area, and the reworked first display content and the virtual display content together correspond to the source content.

16 . The head-mounted display according to claim 14 , wherein:
the input operation is a zoom-in operation; and the virtual display content corresponds to a content displayed exceeding the display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content, after the zoom-in operation on the first display content.

17 . The head-mounted display according to claim 14 , wherein:
the input operation is a content-scrolling operation; and the virtual display data corresponds to a content displayed exceeding the display area of the display screen for displaying the reworked first display content, after the content-scrolling operation on the first display content.

18 . The head-mounted display according to claim 17 , wherein:
the content-scrolling operation includes an up and down browsing operation of a web page, a document, or a combination thereof

19 . A terminal device, comprising:
a display screen; a processor, configured to detect an input operation for switching from a first display mode, for displaying a first display content through the display screen, to a second display mode, for displaying a second display content containing at least a portion displayed through a head-mounted display, wherein the first display content and second display content correspond to a same source content; and a data transmitter, configured to transmit the source content to the head-mounted display, in response to the processor detecting the input operation.

20 . The terminal device according to claim 19 , wherein:
in the second display mode, the second display content is displayed through the head-mounted display or through a combination of the head-mounted display and the terminal device.
