[0064] In an embodiment, the communication processor (130) can transmit and receive various data related to object management services to other smart glasses (100) and / or external servers, etc.

[0065] This communication processor (130) can wirelessly transmit and receive data with at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and any server on a mobile communication network built through a communication device capable of performing technical standards for mobile communication or communication methods (e.g., LTE (Long Term Evolution), LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced), 5G NR (New Radio), WIFI) or short-range communication methods.

[0066] The interface module (140) can connect the smart glasses (100) to communicate with one or more other devices. Specifically, the interface module (140) may include one or more wired and / or wireless communication devices compatible with different communication protocols.

[0097] These smart glasses (100) may be equipped with a protection shield (310) in hardware.

[0098] FIG. 3 is an example showing the shape of a smart glass including a protection shield according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the smart glass (100) may include a protection shield (310), a window (320) and / or a body part (330).

[0100] The protection shield (310) may be a curved protective film to protect the user's face from ultraviolet rays.

[0101] Additionally, the protection shield (310) may be positioned at a certain distance from the user's face when the user wears the smart glasses (100). At this time, the size of the protection shield (310) may be large enough to cover at least the user's entire face.

[0102] This protection shield (310) can be implemented with a material that blocks ultraviolet rays (e.g., polycarbonate).

[0103] Additionally, the protection shield (310) can operate as a first display that displays a predetermined content output by a projector provided on one side of the body part (330). At this time, the predetermined content can be displayed on the inner surface of the protection shield (310).

[0104] In another embodiment, the protection shield (310) may be a flexible display panel capable of displaying content on its own without a projector.

[0105] Additionally, the protection shield (310) can be connected to the body part (330) through the rotating part (340).

[0106] Additionally, the protection shield (310) can rotate up and down to have a predetermined angle with respect to the body part (330) based on the rotating part (340).

[0107] The window (320) may be a transparent glass display that reflects augmented reality content displayed by the display system (170) toward the user's eyes.

[0108] Specifically, the window (320) may be a glass display that uses a PinTILT method to obtain an image by arranging small mirrors at an angle inside a lens.

[0109] FIG. 4 is an example of a drawing illustrating the pin tilt method used by smart glasses in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 4, the window (320) may include a projector (321), a plurality of pin mirrors (322) and / or concave mirrors (323).

[0111] The projector (321) may be a display source that projects light to show an image.

[0112] Additionally, light from the projector (321) can be reflected by a concave mirror (323) and then transmitted to the pupil via a plurality of pin mirrors (322).

[0113] That is, the window (320) using the pin-tilt method can be implemented with a thin lens thickness because the light reflection angle is wide.

[0114] These windows (320) can operate as a projector and / or a second display depending on the angle of the protection shield (310).

[0115] Specifically, the projector (321) of the window (320) can project a predetermined text, image, video and / or augmented reality content (hereinafter collectively referred to as augmented reality content) onto the first display and / or the second display.

[0116] More specifically, the projector (321) of the window (320) can project augmented reality content onto the second display when the projection shield (310) rotates upward, as this is a situation where the first display is removed. Meanwhile, when the projection shield (310) rotates downward, it can project augmented reality content onto the first display as a projector. Thus, the projection shield (310) can operate as a first display for displaying augmented reality content.

[0117] Additionally, the projector (321) of the window (320) may have its projection angle adjusted when projecting augmented reality content onto the first display. Further details regarding this will be described later.

[0118] Additionally, the window (320) may be shaped like glasses so that an image can be formed in the user's eye.

[0119] Additionally, the window (320) may be positioned at a certain distance from the user's eyes when the user wears the smart glasses (100). At this time, the size of the window (320) may be large enough to cover at least the user's eyes completely.

[0120] Additionally, the window (320) may be implemented with a structure capable of vertical rotation. Depending on the rotation of the window (320), the operation of the smart glasses (100) may be determined. At this time, the rotating window (320) may operate only at a preset first window angle (e.g., 90 degrees), and may stop operating if the angle is smaller or larger than the first window angle. Additionally, the direction in which the window (320) rotates may be outward from the user's eyes.

[0121] Specifically, when the window (320) rotates upward, the operation of the smart glasses (100) may be stopped. Also, when the window (320) rotates downward, the operation of the smart glasses (100) may be started.

[0122] At this time, the upward rotation of the window (320) may mean a situation in which the window (320), which was perpendicular to the body part (330), moves to become horizontal or is inserted into the body part (330), or is removed from the user's sight. Conversely, the downward rotation of the window (320) may mean a situation in which the window (320) moves to become perpendicular to the body part (330) or is protruded from inside the body part (330), or is installed in the user's sight.

[0123] The operation of the smart glasses (100) may be determined by combining whether the window (320) rotates and whether the protection shield (310) rotates.

[0124] When the protection shield (310) rotates upward, the projector (321) is automatically turned off and the second display window (320) can be operated (in an example, in a second display mode). In this state, when the window (320) rotates upward, the operation of the smart glasses (100) can be stopped (in an example, in a stop mode).

[0125] Additionally, when the protection shield (310) rotates downward, the projector (321) is automatically turned on and the protection shield (310), which is the first display, can be operated (in an example, in a first display mode). In this state, when the window (320) rotates upward, the operation of the smart glasses (100) is stopped (in an example, in a stop mode), and when the window (320) rotates downward, the operation of the smart glasses (100) can be resumed (in an example, in the first display mode).

[0126] The body part (330) may be an elliptical headband (band) with one side open to mount the smart glasses (100) on the user's head.

[0127] Additionally, the size of the body part (330) may be small enough to be mounted on the user's head and may provide a function that is adjustable according to the user's head circumference.

[0128] Additionally, a protection shield (310) and a window (320) may be provided on one side of the body part (330).

[0129] At this time, the window (320) may be positioned on the bottom surface (D) of the body part (330) so as to be located near the user's eyes when the user wears the smart glasses (100).

[0130] Additionally, the protection shield (310) may be positioned on the outer surface of the body part (330) so as to be freely rotatable up and down. That is, when the user rotates the protection shield (310) downward, the front of the window (320) is covered, and when the user rotates the protection shield (310) upward, the front of the window (320) is exposed.

[0131] Additionally, a first camera (161-1), a second camera (161-2), and / or a rotating part (340) may be disposed in the body part (330).

[0132] FIGS. 5 and 6 are examples showing the shape of a body portion of a smart glass according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 5 is a view of the body portion of the smart glass from the front, and FIG. 6 is a view of the body portion of the smart glass from above.

[0133] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in the embodiment, the projector (321) may be positioned at the bottom of the first camera (161-1) and at the top of the window (320).

[0134] These projectors (321) may be ultra-small beam projectors that emit light to display a display on a protection shield (310) and / or a window (320).

[0135] To this end, the projector (321) is implemented with a structure that can rotate in a circular motion, and the angle of the projector (321) can be determined by setting a reference point (focus) on the protection shield (310) and / or window (320).

[0136] Specifically, when the user lowers the protection shield (310), the projector (321) can display content on the protection shield (310), which is the first display, and when the user raises the protection shield (310), the projector (321) can display content on the window (320), which is the second display. Further details regarding this will be described later.

[0137] In the embodiment, a first camera (161-1) may be positioned on the upper side of the center in the forward direction (F) of the body part (330).

[0138] Additionally, a second camera (161-2) may be positioned on the upper side of the center of the window (320) positioned in the body part (330) in the forward direction (F).

[0139] In the following description, the positions or operations of the first camera (161-1) and the second camera (161-2) are described separately, but the main camera is the first camera (161-1), and the content performed by the second camera (161-2) can be attributed to the content performed by the first camera (161-1).

[0140] The operation of the first and second cameras (161-1, 161-2) can be switched according to the angle of the protection shield (310).

[0141] In an embodiment, when the protection shield (310) rotates downward, the second camera (161-2) is covered, and a first display mode in which only the first camera (161-1) performs shooting can be operated. Meanwhile, when the protection shield (310) rotates upward, the first camera (161-1) is covered, and a second display mode in which only the second camera (161-2) performs shooting can be operated.

[0142] These first and second cameras (161-1, 161-2) can capture and recognize recognizable information. For example, the recognizable information may be certain objects including plants, insects, and pesticides.

[0143] The rotating part (340) may be a rotatable structure that allows the connected protection shield (310) to rotate up and down.

[0144] Additionally, the rotating part (340) can perform a stopper function that fixes the projection shield (310) at a predetermined angle. At this time, the display mode may be switched according to the predetermined angle. For example, if the projection shield (310) has an angle of 80 degrees or more relative to the body part (330), it may be determined as a first display mode. On the other hand, if the projection shield (310) has an angle of 20 degrees or less, it may be determined as a second display mode.

[0145] These rotating parts (340) can be symmetrically arranged one each in the left (L) direction and the right (R) direction so as to come into contact with the protection shield (310).

[0146] Additionally, each rotating part (340) may include a first position sensor (163-1) and / or a second position sensor (163-2).

[0147] The first and second position sensors (163-1, 163-2) can be positioned on corresponding sides based on the center of the body part.

[0148] These first and second position sensors (163-1, 163-2) can detect the movement of the protection shield (310) and / or the movement of the user.

[0149] At this time, if the sensing value sensed by the first and second position sensors (163-1, 163-2) changes gradually, it can be recognized that the user is moving their head. However, if the sensing value sensed by the first and second position sensors (163-1, 163-2) stops at a specific value, it is considered that the value is temporarily fixed according to the stopper, and it can be recognized that the user has rotated the projection shield (310).

[0150] These smart glasses (100) can detect a user's gesture input and / or voice input based on at least one sensor included in the sensor system (160) (e.g., a non-contact sensor including an infrared sensor and / or a gesture sensor).

[0151] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can detect the user's head movements based on the first and second position sensors (163-1, 163-2).

[0152] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glass (100) can calculate the angle between the protection shield (310) and the body part (330).

[0153] In addition, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can switch the display mode based on the calculated angle.

[0154] In addition, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can recognize and analyze objects captured based on the first and second cameras (161-1, 161-2).

[0157] Meanwhile, the service providing server (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform a series of processes to provide object management services.

[0158] In detail, in an embodiment, the service providing server (200) can provide the object management service by exchanging data necessary to enable the object management service process to run on an external device such as smart glasses (100) with said external device.

[0163] In the embodiment, the deep learning neural network may be performed based on YOLO Object Detection, a deep learning-based approach for object detection and object recognition.

[0164] At this time, according to the embodiment, the deep learning neural network may be directly installed on the service providing server (200) or may operate as a separate device from the service providing server (200) to perform deep learning for the object management service.

[0167] In an embodiment, the service providing server (200) can communicate with the smart glasses (100) using an edge computing method.

[0168] Edge computing refers to a method of performing computing at or near the physical location of a user or data source.

[0169] At this time, the main computer of the central server can store and analyze the acquired information.

[0170] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the service providing server (200) may be an edge computing platform connected to a central server or may be implemented as a user's smartphone.

[0171] In addition, in the embodiment, the service providing server (200) can store and manage various applications, commands and / or data, etc. for implementing object management services.

[0172] In an example, the service providing server (200) can store and manage a field of view image, object analysis information, augmented reality content and / or an object management interface, etc.

[0173] However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the functional operations that the service providing server (200) can perform are not limited to those described above, and other functional operations may also be performed.

[0174] Meanwhile, referring further to FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the service providing server (200) as described above may be implemented as a predetermined computing device comprising at least one processor module (210) for data processing, at least one communication module (220) for exchanging data with an external device, and at least one memory module (230) for storing various applications, data and / or instructions for providing object management services.

[0179] Additionally, the memory module (230) may be a recording medium that is detachable on the server.

[0180] Meanwhile, the processor module (210) can control the overall operation of each unit described above in order to implement an object management service.

[0183] Additionally, the processor module (210) may be implemented using at least one of ASICs (application specific integrated circuits), DSPs (digital signal processors), DSPDs (digital signal processing devices), PLDs (programmable logic devices), FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0184] In the above description, it has been explained that the service providing server (200) according to the embodiment of the present invention performs functional operations as described above. However, depending on the embodiment, at least a portion of the functional operations performed by the service providing server (200) may be performed by an external device (e.g., smart glasses (100), etc.), and at least a portion of the functional operations performed by the external device may be further performed by the service providing server (200), and various other embodiments may be possible.

[0186] - A method in which smart glasses (100) provide object management services

[0187] In an embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may provide an object management service that displays an analysis of an object recognized by the protection shield (310) as the first display and / or the window (320) as the second display.

[0188] Hereinafter, a method in which at least one processor assembly (120) of a smart glass (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention provides an object management service will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 7 to 11.

[0189] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor assembly (120) of the smart glasses (100) can execute at least one application (111) stored in at least one memory (110) or operate in a background state.

[0190] Hereinafter, the method of providing the object management service described above by the smart glasses (100) is described in a shortened manner, wherein at least one processor assembly (120) operates to execute instructions of the application (111) to perform the method.

[0191] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for a smart glass to provide an object management service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0192] Referring to FIG. 7, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can determine the camera to use among the first camera and / or the second camera according to the shield angle of the protection shield (310). (S101)

[0193] In the embodiment, when the camera to be used is determined to be the first camera, the smart glasses (100) can operate a first display mode. On the other hand, when the camera to be used is determined to be the second camera, the second display mode can operate.

[0194] To determine this display mode, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can calculate the angle of the protection shield (310).

[0195] FIGS. 8 and FIGS. 9 are examples for explaining display modes according to the angle of a protection shield according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 8 is an example for explaining a first display mode based on a first camera according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is an example for explaining a second display mode based on a second camera according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0196] Referring to FIG. 8, in the embodiment, the angle of the protection shield (310) may mean the angle that the protection shield (310) has when the body part (330) of the smart glass (100) is assumed to be a reference horizontal line.

[0197] In other words, in the embodiment, the smart glass (100) can calculate the shield angle (SA) between the horizontal line (L) and any point (P1, hereinafter the first point) of the protection shield (310).

[0198] At this time, the calculation of the shield angle (SA) can be performed based on position sensors (163-1, 163-2) mounted on the rotating part (340).

[0199] That is, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can determine the first camera (161-1) as the camera to use if the shield angle (SA) is greater than or equal to a preset maximum angle (e.g., 80 degrees).

[0200] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can operate in a first display mode when the camera used is determined to be the first camera.

[0201] At this time, the first display mode may be a mode that displays a field of view image captured by the first camera on the first display, which is the protection shield (310).

[0202] That is, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can display a field of view image (IMG) captured by a first camera as shown in FIG. 8 on a first display which is the inner side of the protection shield (310).

[0203] Also, referring again to FIG. 9, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can determine the second camera (161-2) as the camera to use if the shield angle (SA) between the horizon (L) and the first point (P1) is less than or equal to a preset minimum angle (e.g., 20 degrees).

[0204] At this time, the minimum angle may have a negative value if the protection shield (310) is tilted further beyond the horizontal line of the body part (330). In the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may determine the second camera (161-2) as the camera to use even when the shield angle (SA) is a negative value.

[0205] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can operate in a second display mode when the camera used is determined to be a second camera.

[0206] At this time, the second display mode may be a mode that displays a field of view image captured by the second camera on a window (320), which is the second display.

[0207] That is, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can display a field of view image (IMG) captured by a second camera, as shown in FIG. 9, on a second display which is a window (320). An example shown in FIG. 9 may be a view seen from the user's perspective when the user (1) is wearing the smart glasses (100).

[0208] Meanwhile, the first display mode uses the protection shield (310) as a display, but depending on the shield angle (SA), a part of the view image (IMG) moves outside the area of ​​the protection shield (310), so the user will not be able to see the view image (IMG) displayed on the protection shield (310) accurately.

[0209] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can adjust the angle of the projector (321) that projects a field of view image (IMG) onto the protection shield (310).

[0210] In the embodiment, if the shield angle (SA) is greater than or equal to the preset maximum angle, the smart glasses (100) are considered to have secured a protection shield (310) area sufficient to project the entire view image (IMG), and can transmit the view image (IMG) forward without adjusting the angle of the projector (321).

[0211] In addition, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) switch to a second display mode when the shield angle (SA) is less than or equal to a preset minimum angle, so there is no need to adjust the angle of the projector (321) likewise.

[0212] FIG. 10 is an example showing a field of view image displayed on a first display according to a projection angle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0213] However, referring to FIG. 10, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can be divided into a shield-transmitting area (SC1) that is projected onto the protection shield (310) area and / or a shield-non-transmitting area (SC2) that is not projected onto the protection shield (310) area, when the shield angle (SA) is between a preset minimum angle and a maximum angle.

[0214] In this embodiment, the smart glass (100) can adjust the projection angle of the projector (321) to include the entire shield non-transmitting area (SC2) as a shield transmitting area (SC1). Specifically, the projection angle can be rotated by the amount of the shield non-transmitting area (SC2).

[0215] To this end, in the embodiment, the smart glass (100) can pre-set the projection angle of the projector (321) according to the ratio of the shield non-transmitting area (SC2).

[0216] That is, in the embodiment, the smart glass (100) can rotate the projector (321) by the projection angle of the projector (321) set according to the ratio of the shield non-transmitting area (SC2).

[0217] For example, if the ratio of the shield non-transmittance area (SC2) in the field of view image (IMG) is 30%, the smart glasses (100) can rotate the projection angle of the projector (321) by 10 degrees, which is a preset ratio of 30%.

[0218] Thus, all shield non-transparent areas (SC2) are converted into shield transparent areas (SC1), and the user according to the embodiment can view all content displayed on the first display.

[0219] Accordingly, the smart glasses (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention allow the user to view the display being played without necessarily covering the entire face with the protection shield (310), thereby improving the autonomy to freely adjust the angle of the protection shield (310) and relieving the user's discomfort from using the smart glasses (100), thus improving the overall satisfaction with the device.

[0220] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can capture a field of view image with at least one of the first camera and / or the second camera. (S103)

[0221] In the embodiment, the field of view image may be an image of the same scene as the scene viewed by the user's field of view, captured through a first camera and / or a second camera positioned in the direction of the user's field of view.

[0222] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may provide an object management interface including a field of view image.

[0223] In an embodiment, the object management interface may be a screen that has a view image as a background and displays a predetermined menu and / or description overlaid on the view image. Further details regarding this will be described later.

[0224] In this object management interface, analysis information obtained by analyzing a specific object detected in a field of view image (IMG) can be displayed as augmented reality content.

[0225] To this end, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can recognize at least one object included in the captured field of view image (IMG). (S105)

[0226] The type of the object mentioned above may be any object containing information that can be analyzed; however, for the convenience of explanation in the following examples, the object is considered to be part and / or all of a plant containing a fruit.

[0227] At this time, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can recognize at least one object included in the field of view image based on an object recognition program (e.g., YOLO).

[0228] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can transmit at least one recognized object to a service provider server (200).

[0229] Here, in the embodiment, the service providing server (200) can obtain analysis information about the recognized object based on an object information analysis deep learning neural network.

[0230] In the embodiment, the object information analysis deep learning neural network may use at least one object included in the field of view image as input data and analysis information about the object as output data.

[0231] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the service providing server (200) can obtain at least one piece of analysis information output from the object information analysis deep learning neural network. (S107)

[0232] Here, the object analysis information according to the embodiment (hereinafter, analysis information) may include information regarding the variety, disease name, pesticide, etc. of the fruit, assuming that the recognized object is a fruit.

[0233] In addition, the service providing server (200) may be an edge computing platform connected to a central server or a user's smartphone.

[0234] In an embodiment, the service providing server (200) can transmit this analysis information to the smart glasses (100).

[0235] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can receive analysis information from the service providing server (200).

[0236] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may independently perform the steps performed by the service providing server (200). That is, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may recognize at least one object included in the field of view image based on an object recognition program, and obtain analysis information about the recognized object based on an object information analysis deep learning neural network.

[0237] Additionally, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can display augmented reality content including acquired analysis information on one of the first display and / or the second display. (S109)

[0238] In this case, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) may display additional analysis information based on an object management interface. Also, in the embodiment, the augmented reality content may be a concept that includes all content displayed on the object management interface.

[0239] FIG. 11 is an example of an object management interface displaying analysis information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0240] Referring to FIG. 11, in an embodiment, the object management interface (500) may provide an object management interface (500) in which analysis information of a predetermined object detected in a field of view image (IMG) is displayed as augmented reality content.

[0241] Additionally, in the embodiment, the object management interface (500) may display certain information overlaid on the field of view image (IMG) to provide object management services for the detected object.

[0242] Additionally, in an embodiment, the user may share the screen with an expert in real time by transmitting and receiving with a predetermined terminal and / or server based on the object management interface (500). In another embodiment, images and / or videos captured based on a camera may be transmitted to an expert terminal.

[0243] At this time, if there are multiple expert terminals, the smart glasses (100) can upload images and / or videos captured based on the camera to a cloud system used by multiple expert terminals. Additionally, it can obtain answer data generated from the cloud system. Accordingly, it has the effect of easily asking multiple experts about the situation at the site at once and immediately obtaining answers to solve problems that occur at the site.

[0244] This object management interface (500) may include a view image (IMG), a basic information area (510), a menu area (520), at least one object box (OB), analysis information (530), first and second buttons (BT1, BT2) and / or an auxiliary explanation area (540).

[0245] The basic information area (510) may be an area that displays information about the user's surrounding environment based on the sensor system (160). For example, the basic information area (510) may display the date, time, weather, temperature, humidity, etc.

[0246] The menu area (520) may be an area that displays information about certain additional functions provided by the smart glasses (100). For example, the menu area (520) may display applications such as phone, internet, music, and settings.

[0247] In the embodiment, the object box (OB) and analysis information (530) may be displayed as augmented reality content on the first object. At this time, the first object may be manually selected by the user with a predetermined input or may be automatically selected.

[0248] To this end, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can place a first object as a reference point for the view.

[0249] In addition, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can determine the position and orientation of the smart glasses (100) based on the first object and place and display the object box (OB) and analysis information (530) as augmented reality content on the recognized first object.

[0250] An object box (OB) may be content that displays at least one object recognized within a view image (IMG) in the form of a box. In this case, among the multiple object boxes (OB), a first object box selected automatically and / or manually may be displayed in a color different from the other boxes. For example, among the multiple object boxes (OB), the object box (OB) may be displayed in red only for the first object presumed to be in an abnormal state.

[0251] The analysis information (530) may include first and second buttons (BT1, BT2). At this time, the first and second buttons (BT1, BT2) can be entered by the user when they want to view the simplified information displayed in the analysis information (530) in more detail. When entered, a predetermined website may be connected or a pre-set control command may be executed.

[0252] For example, pressing the first button connects to a website containing 'pesticide usage instructions,' and pressing the second button can execute a control command via 'expert call.'

[0253] The auxiliary explanation area (540) may be activated and displayed when a specific auxiliary explanation is required. For example, a detailed explanation of the analysis information (530), a real-time call screen with an expert, a music selection screen and / or an internet search screen may be displayed.

[0254] At this time, the expert terminal used by the expert can acquire a scene viewed in real time by the smart glasses (100), and the expert can add certain educational content (e.g., a check mark, etc.) to the scene acquired based on the expert terminal. In this way, the expert terminal can perform remote consultation by generating and sharing answer data with added educational content. Here, there may be at least one expert terminal. Accordingly, at least one answer data generated by each expert terminal can be immediately displayed on the display of the smart glasses (100). That is, at least one expert can immediately transmit work instructions regarding the site from a distance.

[0255] In addition, in the embodiment, the smart glasses (100) can perform a predetermined control command based on user input.
