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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A wearable device, comprising:
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 at least one processor coupled to the memory, the display, and the transceiver, wherein the at least one 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 on the display at a display position, wherein the plurality of content, when shown on the connected device, is not in the spatially arranged format,
receive movement information based on a movement of the wearable device, and
adjust the display position of the displayed content according to the movement information of the wearable device.

2 . The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify a movement of the wearable device; and maintain a virtual position of the spatially arranged content in coordinate space when the wearable device moves while adjusting the spatially arranged content on the display.

3 . The wearable device of claim 2 ,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive an input via the connected device; and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to adjust the virtual position and the display position of the content based on the input.

4 . The wearable device of claim 2 , wherein adjusting via an interface of the connected device changes the virtual position of the content.

5 . The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the movement includes one or more of a change in orientation or translation in coordinate space.

6 . The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine whether some of the plurality of content is anchored; and adjust a display position of the displayed content that is not anchored according to a movement of the wearable device.

7 . The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the content is part of an application, and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive a specific movement of the wearable device; and perform a function within the application based on the specific movement.

8 . The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine whether the connected device is within a threshold range of the wearable device; determine whether any of the plurality of content is restricted content; and control the display of the restricted content based on whether the connected device is within the threshold range.

9 . A wearable device, comprising:
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, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive the environment information from the at least one sensor;
determine whether the environment information triggers an alert; and
control the display to display the alert within a field of vision of a user.

10 . The wearable device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one sensor includes a headphone, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the headphone to provide an audible alert when the alert is triggered.

11 . The wearable device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one sensor includes a headphone, and when the headphone is providing sound prior to an alert, the at least one processor is further configured to control the headphone to at least one of reduce a volume of the sound during the alert or provide ambient sound.

12 . The wearable device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one sensor includes a camera configured to capture a view outside of the field of vision of the user, and wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the captured view.

13 . The wearable device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display, other than the displayed alert, to dim during the alert.

14 . A wearable device, comprising:
a memory configured to store biometric feedback of a user; a display configured to display the biometric feedback; at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the display to display the biometric feedback within a field of vision of the user.

15 . The wearable device of claim 14 , further comprising at least one sensor configured to obtain the biometric feedback.

16 . The wearable device of claim 14 , further comprising a transceiver configured to receive the biometric feedback from a connected device.

17 . The wearable device of claim 14 , wherein the biometric feedback includes one or more of an electrical activity of heart, blood pressure, hydration, respiration, blood oxygen saturation, or calories burned.

18 . A method of managing a plurality of content on a wearable device, the method comprising:
receiving the plurality of content from a connected device, wherein the plurality of content, when shown on the connected device, is not in a spatially arranged format; 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 at a display position; receiving movement information based on a movement of the wearable device; and adjusting the display position of the displayed content according to the movement information of the wearable device.

19 . The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying the movement of the wearable device; and maintaining a virtual position of the spatially arranged content in coordinate space when the wearable device moves while adjusting the spatially arranged content on the display.

20 . The wearable device of claim 19 , further comprising:
receiving an input via the connected device; and adjusting the virtual position and the display position of the content based on the input.
