[0058] The embodiments of the present invention provide a head mounted device and an image display method and device thereof, which can clearly display objects at different distances during use, thereby improving the user experience.

[0059] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of an image display method for a head-mounted device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The image display method for a head-mounted device is applied to a head-mounted device provided with an auxiliary camera, and includes:

[0061] S110: Obtaining location information and distance information of the user's focus point;

[0062] It should be noted that the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an auxiliary camera, the focal length of the auxiliary camera is optional, and when the user uses the head-mounted device, the position information and distance information of the user's focus point can be obtained, wherein the user's focus point refers to the focus point of the user's eyes, that is, the position information and distance information of the user's eye focus point are obtained, wherein the distance information can be obtained by a rangefinder set on the head-mounted device, such as a laser rangefinder.

[0063] S120: Determine the current focal length based on the distance information;

[0064] Specifically, the current focal length corresponding to the distance information can be calculated based on the distance information, that is, the auxiliary camera is required to obtain image information at the focus point with a focal length corresponding to the current focal length in order to obtain a cleaned image.

[0065] S130: Control the auxiliary camera to collect image information at the focus point corresponding to the position information at the current focal length;

[0066] It can be understood that after determining the current focal length, the auxiliary camera is controlled according to the current focal length to capture the image at the focus point with the corresponding focal length to obtain the corresponding image information. Of course, before image capture, it is necessary to adjust the auxiliary camera to the direction corresponding to the position information according to the position information of the focus point, and then capture the image information at the focus point.

[0067] S140: Displaying image information at the focus point.

[0068] Specifically, after the image information at the focus point is obtained, the image information is displayed so that the user can clearly see the picture at the focus point that the user pays attention to.

[0069] Furthermore, before obtaining the location information of the user's focus point in S110, the method may further include:

[0070] Track the user's left eye and right eye through an eye tracking camera to obtain the focus point information of the left eye and the right eye;

[0071] Based on the focus point information of the left eyeball and the focus point information of the right eyeball, determine whether the focus points of the left eyeball and the right eyeball are consistent. If they are consistent, execute the step of obtaining the position information of the focus point.

[0072] It should be noted that the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an eye tracking camera, and the eye tracking camera can be used to track the left eye and the right eye of the user. Specifically, the left eye of the user can be tracked by the left eye tracking camera to obtain the left eye's focus information, and the right eye of the user can be tracked by the right eye tracking camera to obtain the right eye's focus information. Then, in order to determine whether the user is paying attention to or looking at a certain direction, the left eye's focus information and the right eye's focus information can be compared to further determine whether the left eye's focus and the right eye's focus are consistent. If the left eye's focus and the right eye's focus are consistent, it means that the user is paying attention to or looking at a certain direction. At this time, the position information of the user's eye's focus can be further obtained based on the left eye's focus information and the right eye's focus information.

[0073] Furthermore, the auxiliary camera in the embodiment of the present invention is a plurality of auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths;

[0074] Then, the process of controlling the auxiliary camera to collect image information at the focus point corresponding to the position information at the current focal length in the above S130 may specifically include:

[0075] Selecting an auxiliary camera with a focal length of a current focal length target from a plurality of auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths;

[0076] The target auxiliary camera is controlled to face the focus point based on the position information, and the image information at the focus point is collected.

[0077] It should be noted that, a plurality of auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths can be pre-set on the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention. Then, after determining the current focal length, the corresponding target auxiliary camera can be matched from each auxiliary camera according to the focal length of each auxiliary camera. Specifically, when the focal lengths of each auxiliary camera are inconsistent with the current focal length, the auxiliary camera with a focal length closest to the current focal length can be selected from each auxiliary camera as the target camera. Then, the target auxiliary camera can be controlled to face the focus point according to the position information of the focus point, and the image information at the focus point can be collected with the corresponding focal length to obtain a clear image.

[0078] Furthermore, the auxiliary camera in the embodiment of the present invention is a focus-adjustable camera;

[0079] Then, the process of controlling the auxiliary camera to collect image information at the focus point corresponding to the position information at the current focal length in the above S130 may specifically include:

[0080] Adjust the focus of the adjustable focus camera to the current focus;

[0081] The focusable camera is controlled to face the focus point based on the position information, and image information at the focus point is collected.

[0082] It should be noted that an adjustable-focus camera can be preset on the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention, that is, the focal length of the camera is adjustable. After determining the current focal length, the focal length of the adjustable-focus camera can be adjusted according to the current focal length, so that the focal length of the adjusted camera is consistent with the current focal length, and then the direction of the adjustable-focus camera toward the focus point is controlled according to the position information of the focus point, and the image information at the focus point is collected with the corresponding focal length to obtain a clear image.

[0083] Furthermore, the method may also include:

[0084] Use the wide-angle camera in the head-mounted device to obtain images of the external environment within the field of view;

[0085] The image at the corresponding position in the external environment image is replaced with the image information at the focus point to obtain a superimposed image;

[0086] The overlay image is displayed.

[0087] It should be noted that in actual applications, in order to improve the user experience, the image at the focus point position can be clearly displayed on the background image within the user's field of view. In the embodiment of the present invention, a basic external environment image is obtained through a wide-angle camera in the head-mounted device, and the external environment image is used as the background. The image at the position corresponding to the focus point in the external environment image is replaced with the above-mentioned clear image information collected (which can also be called the focus image), thereby obtaining a superimposed image, and then displaying the superimposed image, so that the user can clearly see the picture at the focus point on the basis of seeing the entire background image, and the head-mounted device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can clearly display the picture at the focus point in real time according to the change of the user's focus point, wherein the superimposed image after superposition is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the light gray area is the image taken by the wide-angle camera (background image), the dark gray area is the image taken by the auxiliary camera (focus image), and the dark gray area is the gaze direction of the human eye.

[0088] The field of view of the wide-angle camera in the embodiment of the present invention can be greater than or equal to the field of view of the human eye (for example, 124 degrees) to achieve the purpose of eliminating blind spots in the field of view.

[0089] Of course, the magnification factor may be predetermined according to actual needs, and when the superimposed image is displayed, the superimposed image is magnified by the preset magnification factor, and then the magnified superimposed image is displayed to better meet user needs.

[0090] It can be seen that the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an auxiliary camera, and the focal length of the auxiliary camera is optional. When the user uses the head-mounted device, the position information and distance information of the user's focus point can be obtained, and then the current focal length is further determined according to the distance information, and the auxiliary camera is controlled to collect image information at the focus point corresponding to the position information with the current focal length, and the image information at the focus point is displayed, so that objects at different distances can be clearly displayed through the auxiliary camera with the corresponding focal length according to the change of the user's focus point, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also provides an image display device for a head-mounted device, which is applied to a head-mounted device with an auxiliary camera. Figure 3 , the device comprises:

[0092] An acquisition module 11 is used to acquire the location information and distance information of the user's focus point;

[0093] A calculation module 12, used to determine the current focal length based on the distance information;

[0095] The display module 14 is used to display the image information at the focus point.

[0096] It should be noted that the image display device of the head-mounted device provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the same beneficial effects as the image display method of the head-mounted device provided in the above embodiment, and for the specific introduction of the image display method of the head-mounted device involved in the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to the above embodiment, and the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0097] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention further provides a head mounted device. Figure 4 The head mounted device includes: a controller 1, a processor 2, an auxiliary camera 3, a tracking camera 4, a rangefinder 5 and a display 6, wherein:

The tracking camera 4 can obtain the focus point information of the user's eyeball, and send the focus point information to the processor 2. The processor 2 obtains the position information of the focus point based on the focus point information, and sends the position information to the rangefinder 5. The rangefinder 5 obtains the distance information from itself to the focus point based on the position information, and then sends the distance information to the processor 2. The processor 2 calculates the corresponding current focal length based on the distance information. The controller 1 adjusts the auxiliary camera to the corresponding direction according to the position information of the focus point, and controls the auxiliary camera to capture images at the focus point with the corresponding focal length according to the current focal length, obtains the corresponding image information, and sends the image information to the display 6 for display.

[0104] For further information, please refer to Figure 5 , the real-time tracking camera 4 of the present invention includes a left eye tracking camera 41 and a right eye tracking camera 42;

[0105] The left eye tracking camera 41 is used to track the left eye of the user and obtain the focus point information of the left eye;

[0106] The right eye tracking camera 42 is used to track the user's right eye and obtain information about the focus point in front of the user;

[0107] Processor 2 is used to obtain the position information of the corresponding focus point when the focus point information of the left eyeball and the focus point information of the right eyeball are consistent.

[0108] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the left eye of the user can be tracked by the left eye tracking camera 41 to obtain the focus point information of the left eye, and the right eye of the user can be tracked by the right eye tracking camera 42 to obtain the focus point information of the right eye, and then the focus point information of the left eye and the focus point information of the right eye are sent to the processor 2, specifically, they can be sent to the eye information processing unit 21 in the processor 2, and the eye information processing unit 21 compares the focus point information of the left eye with the focus point information of the right eye to further determine whether the focus point of the left eye is consistent with the focus point of the right eye, and when the focus point of the left eye is consistent with the focus point of the right eye, it means that the user is paying attention to or looking at a certain direction, and at this time, the position information of the focus point of the user's eye can be further obtained based on the focus point information of the left eye and the focus point information of the right eye.

[0109] Furthermore, the auxiliary camera 3 may be a plurality of auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths;

[0110] The controller 1 is used to select a target auxiliary camera with a current focal length from a plurality of auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths, control the direction of the target auxiliary camera toward a focus point based on position information, and collect image information at the focus point.

[0111] It should be noted that the head mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention may be pre-set with multiple auxiliary cameras with different focal lengths (such as Figure 5 Then, after determining the current focal length, the controller 1 (e.g. Figure 5The selection control unit in the control unit can match the corresponding target auxiliary camera from each auxiliary camera according to the focal length of each auxiliary camera. Specifically, when the focal length of each auxiliary camera is inconsistent with the current focal length, the auxiliary camera with a focal length closest to the current focal length can be selected from the auxiliary cameras as the target camera, and then the target auxiliary camera is controlled to face the focus point according to the position information of the focus point, and the image information at the focus point is collected with the corresponding focal length to obtain a clear image.

[0112] Furthermore, the auxiliary camera 3 may be a focus-adjustable camera;

[0113] The controller 1 is used to adjust the focal length of the adjustable-focus camera to the current focal length, control the direction of the adjustable-focus camera toward the focus point based on the position information, and collect image information at the focus point.

[0114] It should be noted that an adjustable-focus camera can be preset on the head-mounted device in the embodiment of the present invention, that is, the focal length of the camera is adjustable. After determining the current focal length, the focal length of the adjustable-focus camera can be adjusted according to the current focal length, so that the focal length of the adjusted camera is consistent with the current focal length, and then the direction of the adjustable-focus camera toward the focus point is controlled according to the position information of the focus point, and the image information at the focus point is collected with the corresponding focal length to obtain a clear image.

[0115] Furthermore, processor 2 is also used to replace the image at the corresponding position in the external environment image with the image information at the focus point, obtain a superimposed image, and send the superimposed image to the display for display; wherein, the external environment image is obtained through the wide-angle camera in the head-mounted device.

[0116] It can be understood that in actual applications, in order to improve the user experience, the image at the focus point position can be clearly displayed on the background image within the user's field of view.
