VEHICLE MOUNTED VIRTUAL VISOR SYSTEM HAVING FACIAL EXPRESSION CONTROL GESTURES
A virtual visor system is disclosed that includes a visor having a plurality of independently operable pixels that are selectively operated with a variable opacity. A camera captures images of the face of a driver or other passenger and, based on the captured images, a controller operates the visor to automatically and selectively darken a limited portion thereof to block the sun or other illumination source from striking the eyes of the driver, while leaving the remainder of the visor transparent. The visor system advantageously detects certain combinations of facial expression and head gestures from which an error or issue with the operation of the visor system can be inferred. In response to such designated combinations of head gestures and facial expressions, the visor system adapts one or more operating or calibration parameters of the visor system to provide more accurate updates to the optical state of the visor.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
An electronic device according to an example embodiment may include a fingerprint sensor configured to perform at least one of a fingerprint detection function of detecting a fingerprint and an illuminance measurement function of measuring an illuminance value in a light receiving area. The electronic device may include a display configured to display an image on a panel based on a changed luminance The electronic device may include a processor configured to: activate a light receiving area of at least a portion of the fingerprint sensor based on whether the display is activated, and change a luminance of the display based on an illuminance value measured from the light receiving area in an off state in which pixels arranged on a panel of the display do not display an image.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE DISPLAYING WIDGET AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a memory, a display, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: displaying, via the display, a first screen related to an external electronic device as a widget using at least a part of a display area of the display, detecting, via the processor, an event associated with at least one application capable of interoperating with the external electronic device, after detecting the event, obtaining a second screen related to the external electronic device, based at least on information related to the detected event, and removing display of the first screen and displaying the second screen on the display.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONFIGURED TO QUICKLY UPDATE SCREEN UPON RECEIVING INPUT FROM PERIPHERAL DEVICE
An electronic device that quickly updates a screen when receiving an input from a peripheral device is provided. The electronic device includes a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) configured to output a tearing effect (TE) signal having a designated frequency, and a processor configured to control the peripheral device, a display, and the DDIC and to transmit image data to the DDIC in response to the TE signal, wherein the DDIC is configured to output the TE signal at a first frequency, receive an interrupt signal from the peripheral device while the TE signal is output at the first frequency, output the TE signal at a second frequency in response to the interrupt signal, the second frequency being greater than the first frequency, receive image data updated by the processor based on the TE signal output at the second frequency, and drive the display to display the received image data.
Image generation based on altered distances between imaging devices
In some examples, the disclosure describes a device that includes a first imaging device coupled to a first side of an expandable display device, a second imaging device coupled to a second side of the expandable display device, an adjustment device to alter a size of the expandable display device to alter a distance between the first imaging device and the second imaging device, and a processor to: determine the distance between the first imaging device and the second imaging device based on a position of the adjustment device, capture first image data from the first imaging device and second image data from the second imaging device at the position of the adjustment device, and generate an image utilizing the first image data, the second image data, and the distance.
DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME
A display device includes a flexible display panel in which a valid display area viewable to a user is extended or reduced, a touch sensing part overlapping the flexible display panel and including first sensing electrodes and second sensing electrodes intersecting the first sensing electrodes, a touch driver for providing driving signals to the first sensing electrodes, and detecting a touch by using sensing signals supplied from the second sensing electrodes, and a display driver for driving the flexible display panel such that an image is displayed in the valid display area. The touch driver controls at least one of hidden driving signals and hidden sensing signals, which correspond to a hidden display area of the flexible display panel which is not viewable to the user, to be different from at least one of the driving signals and the sensing signals, which correspond to the valid display area.
INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
An information processing device obtains information regarding the position of each fingertip of a user in a real space, and determines contact between a virtual object set within a virtual space and a finger of the user. The information processing device sets the virtual object in a partly deformed state such that a part of the virtual object, the part corresponding to the position of the finger determined to be in contact with the object among the fingers of the user, is located more to a far side from a user side than the finger, and displays the virtual object having the shape set thereto as an image in the virtual space on a display device.
LIGHT-EMITTING USER INPUT DEVICE FOR CALIBRATION OR PAIRING
A light emitting user input device can include a touch sensitive portion configured to accept user input (e.g., from a user's thumb) and a light emitting portion configured to output a light pattern. The light pattern can be used to assist the user in interacting with the user input device. Examples include emulating a multi-degree-of-freedom controller, indicating scrolling or swiping actions, indicating presence of objects nearby the device, indicating receipt of notifications, assisting pairing the user input device with another device, or assisting calibrating the user input device. The light emitting user input device can be used to provide user input to a wearable device, such as, e.g., a head mounted display device.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SPAWNING ATTENTION POINTERS (APT) FOR DRAWING ATTENTION OF AN USER IN A VIRTUAL SCREEN DISPLAY WITH AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY
A method and system for generating attention pointers, including: displaying, in a display of a mobile device, an object within and outside a field of view (FOV) of an user wherein the object outside the FOV are real objects; monitoring, by a processor of the mobile device, for a change in the object within and outside the FOV; in response to a change, generating by the processor one or more attention pointers within the FOV of the user for directing user attention to the change in the object which is either inside or outside the FOV; and displaying, by the processor, on a virtual screen within the FOV to the user, the one or more attention pointers wherein the one or more attention pointers are dynamically configured to interact with the user in response to detections based on a movement of the user or the object within or outside the FOV of the user.
DIGITAL DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING A COMPLEMENTARY LIGHT FIELD DISPLAY OR DISPLAY PORTION, AND VISION CORRECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING SAME
Described are various embodiments of a digital display device to render an image for viewing by a viewer having reduced visual acuity, the device comprising: a digital display medium for rendering the image based on pixel data related thereto; a complementary light field display portion; and a hardware processor operable on said pixel data for a selected portion of the image to be rendered via said complementary light field display portion so to produce vision-corrected pixel data corresponding thereto to at least partially address the viewer's reduced visual acuity when viewing said selected portion as rendered in accordance with said vision-corrected pixel data by said complementary light field display portion.
