[0003] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for changing the tint level of one or more displays, and more particularly to changing the tint level of one or more displays of an electronic device based on satisfaction of one or more criteria. Background Art

[0004] Some computer graphics environments provide two-dimensional and / or three-dimensional environments in which at least some of the objects displayed for the user to view are virtual and computer-generated.Users of head-mounted displays (HMDs) are typically required to remove the HMD or provide manual input in order to interact with the physical environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for changing the tint level of one or more displays, and more specifically to changing the tint level of one or more displays of an electronic device based on the satisfaction of one or more criteria. In some examples, an electronic device (e.g., an HMD) presents content in a first manner including a first tint. In some examples, in response to determining that one or more criteria are met, the electronic device presents the content in a second manner and changes the tint level from the first tint level to a second tint level. For example, in response to detecting that a user is directing their attention away from a user interface displayed by the electronic device and instead interacting with other objects in the physical environment (e.g., other electronic devices, people), the electronic device reduces the tint level (changing the tint level of the display to be more transparent) and / or minimizes the content. Changing the tint level and the presentation of the content allows the user to seamlessly see and / or focus on different objects in the physical environment without having to manually change the tint of the display and / or without having to manually change the presentation of the content presented on the display.

[0011] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for changing the tint level of one or more displays, and more specifically to changing the tint level of one or more displays of an electronic device based on the satisfaction of one or more criteria. In some examples, an electronic device (e.g., an HMD) presents content in a first manner including a first tint. In some examples, in response to determining that one or more criteria are met, the electronic device presents the content in a second manner and changes the tint level from the first tint level to a second tint level. For example, in response to detecting that a user is directing their attention away from a user interface displayed by the electronic device and instead interacting with other objects in the physical environment (e.g., other electronic devices, people), the electronic device reduces the tint level (changing the tint level of the display to be more transparent) and / or minimizes the content. Changing the tint level and the presentation of the content allows the user to seamlessly see and / or focus on different objects in the physical environment without having to manually change the tint of the display and / or without having to manually change the presentation of the content presented on the display.

[0012] In some examples, presenting an extended reality environment with an electronic device includes presenting a see-through video of the physical environment of the electronic device. As described herein, for example, presenting a see-through video may include displaying a virtual or video see-through, wherein the electronic device displays an image of the physical environment using one or more displays. In other examples, presenting an extended reality environment with an electronic device includes presenting a real or non-imagined optical see-through, wherein portions of the physical environment are visible to the user through transparent portions of the display. As described herein, reducing the level of tint of the display enables improved viewing of the physical environment through the transparent portions of the display, while increasing the level of tint of the display enables improved presentation of some virtual content (e.g., blocking some or all of the physical environment).

[0013] In some examples, a three-dimensional object is displayed in a computer-generated three-dimensional environment in a particular orientation that controls one or more behaviors of the three-dimensional object (e.g., when the three-dimensional object moves within the three-dimensional environment). In some examples, the orientation in which the three-dimensional object is displayed in the three-dimensional environment is selected by a user of the electronic device or automatically selected by the electronic device. For example, when initiating presentation of the three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional environment, the user may select a particular orientation for the three-dimensional object, or the electronic device may automatically select the orientation for the three-dimensional object (e.g., based on the type of the three-dimensional object).

[0014] In some examples, a three-dimensional object may be displayed in a three-dimensional environment in a world-locked orientation, a body-locked orientation, a tilt-locked orientation, or a head-locked orientation, as described below. As used herein, an object displayed in a three-dimensional environment in a body-locked orientation has a distance and orientation offset relative to a portion of the user's body (e.g., the user's torso). Alternatively, in some examples, a body-locked object has a fixed distance from the user, while the orientation of the content is not referenced to any part of the user's body (e.g., it may be displayed in the same cardinal direction relative to the user regardless of head and / or body movement). Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, a body-locked object may be configured to always maintain gravity or horizon alignment (e.g., perpendicular to gravity), such that changes in the roll direction of the head and / or body will not cause the body-locked object to move within the three-dimensional environment. Conversely, translational movement in either configuration will cause the body-locked object to reposition within the three-dimensional environment to maintain the distance offset.

[0015] As used herein, an object displayed in a head-locked orientation in a three-dimensional environment has a distance and orientation offset relative to the user's head. In some examples, the head-locked object moves within the three-dimensional environment when the user's head moves (when the user's viewpoint changes).

[0016] As used herein, an object displayed in a world-locked orientation in a three-dimensional environment has no distance or orientation offset relative to the user.

[0017] As used herein, an object displayed in a three-dimensional environment with a tilt-locked orientation (referred to herein as a tilt-locked object) has a distance offset relative to a user (such as a portion of the user's body (e.g., the user's torso) or the user's head). In some examples, the tilt-locked object is displayed at a fixed orientation relative to the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, the tilt-locked object moves according to a polar (e.g., spherical) coordinate system centered around a pole passing through the user (e.g., the user's head). For example, the tilt-locked object moves in the three-dimensional environment based on the movement of the user's head within a spherical space surrounding the user's head (e.g., centered around the user's head). Thus, if the user tilts their head relative to gravity (e.g., up or down in pitch), the tilt-locked object will follow the head tilt and move radially along the sphere, such that the tilt-locked object is repositioned within the three-dimensional environment at the same distance offset relative to the user as before the head tilt, while optionally maintaining the same orientation relative to the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, if the user moves their head in a roll direction (e.g., clockwise or counterclockwise) relative to gravity, the tilt-locked object is not repositioned within the three-dimensional environment.

[0018] Figure 1 An electronic device 101 is illustrated that presents an extended reality (XR) environment (e.g., a computer-generated environment that optionally includes representations of physical and / or virtual objects) according to some examples of the present disclosure. In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 101 is a head-mounted display or other head-mounted device configured to be worn on the head of the user of the electronic device 101. Figure 2A An example of the electronic device 101 is described with reference to the block diagram of the architecture of FIG. Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 101 and table 106 are located in a physical environment. The physical environment may include physical features, such as physical surfaces (e.g., floor, wall) or physical objects (e.g., table, lamp, etc.). In some examples, electronic device 101 may be configured to detect and / or capture an image of the physical environment including table 106 (shown in the field of view of electronic device 101).

[0019] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 101 includes one or more internal image sensors 114a (eg, as described below with reference to FIG. 1 ) oriented toward the user's face. Figures 2A to 2B). In some examples, internal image sensor 114a is used for eye tracking (e.g., detecting the user's gaze). Internal image sensor 114a is optionally arranged on the left and right portions of display 120a to enable eye tracking of the user's left and right eyes. In some examples, electronic device 101 also includes external image sensors 114b and 114c facing outward from the user to detect and / or capture the physical environment of electronic device 101 and / or movements of the user's hands or other body parts.

[0020] In some examples, display 120a has a field of view visible to the user (e.g., which may or may not correspond to the field of view of external image sensors 114b and 114c). Because display 120a is optionally part of a head-mounted device, the field of view of display 120a is optionally the same as or similar to the field of view of the user's eyes. In other examples, the field of view of display 120a may be smaller than the field of view of the user's eyes. In some examples, electronic device 101 may be an optical see-through device, in which display 120a is a transparent or semi-transparent display through which portions of the physical environment can be directly viewed. In some examples, display 120a may be included within a transparent lens and may overlap all or only a portion of the transparent lens. In other examples, the electronic device may be a video pass-through device, in which display 120a is an opaque display configured to display images of the physical environment captured by external image sensors 114b and 114c. Although a single display 120a is shown, it should be understood that display 120a may include a stereoscopic display pair.

[0021] In some examples, in response to a trigger, the electronic device 101 may be configured to display the Figure 1 , the virtual object 104 represented by the cube illustrated in FIG, does not exist in the physical environment but is displayed in the XR environment on top of the real-world table 106 (or a representation thereof). Optionally, in response to detecting the plane of the table 106 in the physical environment 100, the virtual object 104 can be displayed on the surface of the table 106 in the XR environment displayed via the display 120 a of the electronic device 101.

[0022] It should be understood that the virtual object 104 is a representative virtual object and may include and render one or more different virtual objects (e.g., virtual objects having various dimensions, such as two-dimensional or other three-dimensional virtual objects) in a three-dimensional XR environment. For example, a virtual object may represent an application or user interface displayed in the XR environment. In some examples, the virtual object may represent content corresponding to an application and / or displayed via a user interface in the XR environment. In some examples, the virtual object 104 is optionally configured to be interactive and responsive to user input (e.g., air gestures, such as air pinch gestures, air tap gestures, and / or air touch gestures), allowing the user to virtually touch, tap, move, rotate, or otherwise interact with the virtual object 104.

[0023] In some examples, electronic device 101 may be configured to communicate with a second electronic device, such as a companion device. Figure 1 As illustrated, electronic device 101 can communicate with electronic device 160. In some examples, electronic device 160 corresponds to a mobile electronic device such as a smart phone, tablet computer, smart watch, or other electronic device. Figure 2B 101 and 160 are associated with the same user. Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present invention, electronic device 101 may be positioned (e.g., mounted) on the head of the user, and electronic device 160 may be positioned near electronic device 101, such as positioned in hand 103 of the user (e.g., hand 103 is holding electronic device 160), and electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 are associated with the same user account of the user (e.g., the user is logged into the user account on electronic device 101 and electronic device 160). Figures 2A to 2B Additional details regarding communications between electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 are provided.

[0024] In some examples, displaying an object in a three-dimensional environment may include interaction with one or more user interface objects in the three-dimensional environment. For example, initiation of display of an object in a three-dimensional environment may include interaction with one or more virtual options / indicators displayed in the three-dimensional environment. In some examples, when display of an object in a three-dimensional environment is initiated, the electronic device may track the user's gaze as input for identifying one or more virtual options / indicators as targets for selection. For example, gaze may be used to identify one or more virtual options / indicators as targets for selection using another selection input. In some examples, a virtual option / indicator may be selected using hand tracking input detected via an input device in communication with the electronic device. In some examples, an object displayed in the three-dimensional environment may be moved and / or reoriented in the three-dimensional environment based on movement input detected via the input device.

[0025] In the following discussion, an electronic device is described that communicates with a display generation component and one or more input devices. It should be understood that the electronic device optionally communicates with one or more other physical user interface devices, such as a touch-sensitive surface, a physical keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a hand tracking device, an eye tracking device, a stylus, etc. In addition, as described above, it should be understood that the described electronic device, display, and touch-sensitive surface are optionally distributed between two or more devices. Therefore, as used in this disclosure, information displayed on or by an electronic device is optionally used to describe information output by the electronic device for display on an independent display device (touch-sensitive or non-touch-sensitive). Similarly, as used in this disclosure, input received on an electronic device (e.g., touch input received on the touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device, or touch input received on the surface of a stylus) is optionally used to describe input received on an independent input device, and the electronic device receives input information from the independent input device.

[0026] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following applications: a drawing application, a rendering application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk editing application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephony application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, a fitness support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, a television channel browsing application, and / or a digital video player application.

[0027] Figures 2A to 2BThe block diagram illustrates an example architecture for electronic devices 201 and 260 according to some examples of the present disclosure. In some examples, electronic device 201 and / or device 260 include one or more electronic devices. For example, electronic device 201 can be a portable device, an auxiliary device that communicates with another device, a head-mounted display, etc. In some examples, electronic device 201 corresponds to the above referenced Figure 1 In some examples, the electronic device 260 corresponds to the electronic device 101 described above. Figure 1 An electronic device 160 is described.

One or more communication buses 208A are optionally used for communication between the above components of the electronic device 201. In addition, as Figure 2B As shown, the electronic device 260 optionally includes one or more position sensors 204B, one or more image sensors 206B, one or more touch-sensitive surfaces 209B, one or more orientation sensors 210B, one or more microphones 213B, one or more display generation components 214B, one or more speakers 216B, one or more processors 218B, one or more memories 220B and / or communication circuits 222B. One or more communication buses 208B are optionally used for communication between the above components of the electronic device 260. The electronic devices 201 and 260 are optionally configured to communicate via a wired or wireless connection between the two electronic devices (e.g., via communication circuits 222A, 222B). For example, as Figure 2A As indicated, electronic device 260 may serve as a companion device to electronic device 201 .

[0029] The communication circuits 222A, 222B optionally include circuits for communicating with electronic devices, networks such as the Internet, intranets, wired and / or wireless networks, cellular networks, and wireless local area networks (LANs). The communication circuits 222A, 222B optionally include circuits for communicating using near field communication (NFC) and / or short range communication such as A circuit for communication.

[0030] Processors 218A, 218B include one or more general-purpose processors, one or more graphics processors, and / or one or more digital signal processors. In some examples, memory 220A or 220B is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (e.g., flash memory, random access memory, or other volatile or non-volatile memory or storage device) that stores computer-readable instructions, which are configured to be executed by processor 218A or 218B to perform the techniques, processes, and / or methods described below. In some examples, memory 220A and / or 220B may include more than one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may be any medium (e.g., not including signals) that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in conjunction with an instruction execution system, device, or apparatus. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may include, but is not limited to, a magnetic storage device, an optical storage device, and / or a semiconductor storage device. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical disks based on compact disc (CD), digital versatile disc (DVD), or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state memory such as flash memory, solid-state drives, etc.

[0031] In some examples, the display generation components 214A, 214B include a single display (e.g., a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), or other type of display). In some examples, the display generation components 214A, 214B include multiple displays. In some examples, the display generation components 214A, 214B may include a display with touch capabilities (e.g., a touch screen), a projector, a holographic projector, a retinal projector, a transparent or translucent display, etc. In some examples, the electronic devices 201 and 260 include touch-sensitive surfaces 209A and 209B, respectively, for receiving user input such as tap input and swipe input or other gestures. In some examples, the display generation components 214A, 214B and the touch-sensitive surfaces 209A, 209B form a touch-sensitive display (e.g., a touch screen integrated with each of the electronic devices 201 and 260 or a touch screen external to each of the electronic devices 201 and 260 that communicates with each of the electronic devices 201 and 260). In some examples, the display generation component 214A includes one or more coloring layers, such as Figures 3A to 3O In some examples, the shading layer is integrated into the display generation component 214A. In some examples, the shading layer is a separate layer in the display generation component 214A. For example, and as Figure 2A As shown, display generation component 214A includes a colorable layer 230 .

[0032] Electronic devices 201 and 260 optionally include image sensors 206A and 206B, respectively. Image sensors 206A and 206B optionally include one or more visible light image sensors (such as charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors) and / or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors operable to obtain images of physical objects from a real-world environment. Image sensors 206A and 206B also optionally include one or more infrared (IR) sensors, such as passive IR sensors or active IR sensors, for detecting infrared light from the real-world environment. For example, an active IR sensor includes an IR emitter for emitting infrared light into the real-world environment. Image sensors 206A and 206B also optionally include one or more cameras configured to capture the movement of physical objects in the real-world environment. Image sensors 206A and 206B also optionally include one or more depth sensors configured to detect the distance of physical objects from electronic devices 201 and 260. In some examples, information from one or more depth sensors may allow a device to identify an object in a real-world environment and distinguish it from other objects in the real-world environment. In some examples, one or more depth sensors may allow a device to determine the texture and / or topography of an object in the real-world environment.

[0033] In some examples, electronic devices 201 and 260 use a combination of a CCD sensor, an event camera, and a depth sensor to detect the physical environment surrounding the electronic devices 201 and 260. In some examples, the image sensors 206A and 206B include a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The first image sensor and the second image sensor work in tandem and are optionally configured to capture different information about physical objects in the real-world environment. In some examples, the first image sensor is a visible light image sensor and the second image sensor is a depth sensor. In some examples, the electronic devices 201 and 260 use the image sensors 206A and 206B to detect the position and orientation of the electronic devices 201 and 260 and / or the display generation components 214A and 214B in the real-world environment. For example, the electronic devices 201 and 260 use the image sensors 206A and 206B to track the position and orientation of the display generation components 214A and 214B relative to one or more fixed objects in the real-world environment.

[0034] In some examples, electronic devices 201 and 260 include microphones 213A and 213B, respectively, or other audio sensors. Electronic devices 201 and 260 optionally use microphones 213A and 213B to detect sounds from the user and / or the user's real-world environment. In some examples, microphones 213A and 213B include an array of microphones (multiple microphones) that optionally operate in concert, such as to identify ambient noise or locate a sound source in the space of the real-world environment.

[0035] Electronic devices 201 and 260 include position sensors 204A and 204B, respectively, for detecting the position of electronic device 201A and / or display generation component 214A, and the position of electronic device 260 and / or display generation component 214B, respectively. For example, position sensors 204A, 204B may include a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that receives data from one or more satellites and allows electronic devices 201, 260 to determine the absolute position of the device in the physical world.

[0036] Electronic devices 201 and 260 include orientation sensors 210A and 210B, respectively, for detecting the orientation and / or movement of electronic device 201 and / or display generation component 214A and the orientation and / or movement of electronic device 260 and / or display generation component 214B, respectively. For example, electronic devices 201 and 260 use orientation sensors 210A and 210B to track changes in the position and / or orientation of electronic devices 201 and 260 and / or display generation components 214A and 214B, such as changes relative to physical objects in a real-world environment. Orientation sensors 210A and 210B optionally include one or more gyroscopes and / or one or more accelerometers.

[0037] In some examples, electronic device 201 includes hand tracking sensors 202 and / or eye tracking sensors 212 and / or other body tracking sensors, such as leg tracking sensors, torso tracking sensors, and / or head tracking sensors. Hand tracking sensors 202 are configured to track the position / location of one or more parts of a user's hand and / or the movement of one or more parts of a user's hand relative to an extended reality environment, relative to display generation component 214A, and / or relative to another defined coordinate system. Eye tracking sensors 212 are configured to track the position and movement of a user's gaze (more generally, eyes, face, or head) relative to the real world or extended reality environment and / or relative to display generation component 214A. In some examples, hand tracking sensors 202 and / or eye tracking sensors 212 are implemented together with display generation component 214A. In some examples, hand tracking sensors 202 and / or eye tracking sensors 212 are implemented separately from display generation component 214A. In some examples, electronic device 201 alternatively does not include hand tracking sensors 202 and / or eye tracking sensors 212. In some such examples, the display generation component 214A can be used by the electronic device 260 to provide an augmented reality environment and utilize input and other data collected via other sensors of the electronic device 201 (e.g., one or more position sensors 204A, one or more image sensors 206A, one or more touch-sensitive surfaces 209A, one or more motion and / or orientation sensors 210A, and / or one or more microphones 213A or other audio sensors) as input and data processed by the processor 218B of the electronic device 260. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 201 optionally does not include Figure 2B Other components shown, such as position sensor 204B, image sensor 206B, and / or touch-sensitive surface 209B, etc. In some such examples, display generation component 214A can be used by electronic device 260 to provide an augmented reality environment, and electronic device 260 can utilize input and other data collected via one or more motion and / or orientation sensors 210A (and / or one or more microphones 213A) of electronic device 201 as input.

[0038] In some examples, the hand tracking sensor 202 (and / or other body tracking sensors, such as leg, torso, and / or head tracking sensors) may use an image sensor 206 (e.g., one or more IR cameras, 3D cameras, depth cameras, etc.) that captures three-dimensional information from the real world, including one or more body parts (e.g., the hand, leg, torso of a human user). In some examples, the hand may be resolved with sufficient resolution to distinguish between fingers and their respective positions. In some examples, one or more image sensors 206A are positioned relative to the user to define a field of view and interaction space of the image sensor 206A, in which the finger / hand position, orientation, and / or movement captured by the image sensor is used as input (e.g., to distinguish from the user's resting hand or other hands of other people in the real-world environment). Tracking fingers / hands for input (e.g., gestures, touches, taps, etc.) may be advantageous because it does not require the user to touch, hold, or wear any type of beacon, sensor, or other marker.

[0039] In some examples, eye tracking sensor 212 includes at least one eye tracking camera (e.g., an infrared (IR) camera) and / or an illumination source (e.g., an IR light source, such as an LED) that emits light toward the user's eyes. The eye tracking camera can be pointed toward the user's eyes to receive reflected IR light from the light source directly or indirectly from the eyes. In some examples, both eyes are tracked separately by corresponding eye tracking cameras and illumination sources, and focus / gaze can be determined by tracking both eyes. In some examples, one eye (e.g., the dominant eye) is tracked by one or more corresponding eye tracking cameras / illumination sources.

[0040] Electronic devices 201 and 260 are not limited to Figures 2A to 2B Rather than having a single component and configuration, the electronic device 201 and / or the electronic device 260 may include fewer components, other components, or additional components in a variety of configurations. In some examples, the electronic device 201 and / or the electronic device 260 may be implemented across multiple electronic devices (e.g., as a system). In some such examples, each (or more) electronic device may each include one or more of the same components discussed above, such as various sensors, one or more display generation components, one or more speakers, one or more processors, one or more memories, and / or communication circuits. One or more people using the electronic device 201 and / or the electronic device 260 are optionally referred to herein as one or more users of the device.

[0041] Attention is now directed toward an electronic device (e.g., corresponding to electronic device 201 and / or electronic device 101) that includes one or more colorable displays. In some examples, the electronic device applies a first hue to the display while presenting content in a first manner. In some examples, the user may want to use and / or interact with a second electronic device that is communicatively connected to the electronic device. The second electronic device and / or the other electronic device may send an indication to the electronic device that indicates that the user is no longer looking at the content or otherwise indicates that the user of the electronic device wishes to direct attention to something other than the content. Therefore, the electronic device presents the content in a second manner and applies a second hue that is different from the first hue to the display to allow the user to better view the second electronic device. The electronic device may use one or more criteria described below to determine when to present content in a second manner and when to change the hue from the first hue to the second hue, as described in reference to FIG. Figures 3A to 3O discussed.

[0042] In some examples, the electronic device may determine an indication or receive an indication from one or more different electronic devices that the user is interacting or intending to interact with people and / or objects in their physical environment that are different from the content presented on the electronic device. For example, the one or more electronic devices may include a microphone, a mobile phone, and / or a smartwatch. In some examples, the electronic device uses one or more sensors (e.g., an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor) in communication with the electronic device to determine whether the user is or intends to interact with the physical environment.

[0043] The techniques described herein provide an improved user experience. For example, the methods and systems described herein provide a seamless transition between experiencing virtual content and interacting with the physical environment with limited or no explicit user input. For example, an electronic device automatically presents content in different ways based on whether one or more criteria are met. Additionally, an electronic device automatically transitions a display from a first tint level to a second tint level based on whether one or more criteria are met.

[0044] Figures 3A to 3O Examples of electronic devices that present content differently and change the tint level of a display once one or more criteria are met according to some examples of the present disclosure are illustrated. Figures 3A to 3O For illustration of the methods described below, these methods include Figure 4 Process 400.

[0045] Figures 3A to 3C Examples are illustrated in which an electronic device changes presentation of content and a color level of a display based on indications from a second electronic device and / or indications from a sensor of the electronic device. Figure 3AThe electronic device 101 is illustrated as being viewed from the perspective of a user of the electronic device 101 via the display 120a (eg, facing a table 304 in a room in which the electronic device 101 is positioned, as shown in FIG. 3 ). Figure 3B ) presents a three-dimensional environment 300. In some examples, the three-dimensional environment 300 is a see-through environment of a physical environment. For example, the display on the electronic device 101 is transparent, and the user can see the physical environment through the display. In some examples, the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to present the three-dimensional environment 300. In some examples, the user's viewpoint determines what content (e.g., physical objects and / or virtual objects) is visible in a viewport (e.g., a view of the three-dimensional environment 300 visible to the user via one or more displays 120a, a display or a pair of display modules that provide stereoscopic content to different eyes of the same user, or an optical see-through device). In some examples, the (virtual) viewport has a function that defines the viewport that the user sees via Figures 3A to 3OThe viewport boundaries of the range of the three-dimensional environment 300 visible to the display 120a in the user's visual range. In some examples, the area defined by the viewport boundaries is smaller than the user's visual range in one or more dimensions (e.g., based on the user's visual range, the size, optical properties or other physical characteristics of the one or more displays, and / or the position and / or orientation of the one or more displays relative to the user's eyes). In some examples, the area defined by the viewport boundaries is larger than the user's visual range in one or more dimensions (e.g., based on the user's visual range, the size, optical properties or other physical characteristics of the one or more displays, and / or the position and / or orientation of the one or more displays relative to the user's eyes). The viewport and viewport boundaries typically move as the one or more displays move (e.g., as the user's head moves for a head-mounted device, or as the user's hand moves for a handheld device such as a tablet computer or smartphone). The user's viewpoint determines what is visible in the viewport. The viewpoint generally specifies a position and orientation relative to the three-dimensional environment, and as the viewpoint shifts, the view of the three-dimensional environment will also shift in the viewport. For head-mounted devices, the viewpoint is typically based on the position and orientation of the user's head, face, and / or eyes to provide a perceptually accurate view of the three-dimensional environment that provides an immersive experience when the user is using the head-mounted device. For handheld or fixed devices, the viewpoint moves as the handheld or fixed device moves and / or as the user's positioning relative to the handheld or fixed device changes (e.g., the user moves toward, away from, up, down, right, and / or left). For devices that include displays with video pass-through, the portion of the physical environment visible (e.g., displayed and / or projected) via one or more displays is based on the field of view of one or more cameras in communication with the display, which typically moves with the display (e.g., for head-mounted devices, moves with the user's head, or for handheld devices such as tablet computers or smart phones, moves with the user's hands) because the user's viewpoint moves with the movement of the field of view of the one or more cameras (and the appearance of one or more virtual objects displayed via the one or more displays is updated based on the user's viewpoint (e.g., the display position and pose of the virtual objects are updated based on the movement of the user's viewpoint)). For displays with optical see-through, the portion of the physical environment that is visible via one or more displays (e.g., optically visible through one or more partially or fully transparent portions of the display generating components) is based on the user's field of view through the partially or fully transparent portions of the display generating components (e.g., moves with the user's head for a head-mounted device, or moves with the user's hand for a handheld device such as a tablet computer or smart phone) because the user's viewpoint moves as the user moves through the field of view of the partially or fully transparent portions of the display (and the appearance of one or more virtual objects is updated based on the user's viewpoint).

[0046] exist Figure 3A In the embodiment, electronic device 101 includes a display 120a and a plurality of sensors, as described above and controlled by electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 to display one or more user interfaces while presenting a true or realistic optical see-through, wherein portions of the physical environment are visible to the user through transparent portions of the display (such as one or more hands of the user, such as hand 103) as the user interacts with electronic device 101, electronic device 160, and / or with the physical world, as described above. Figure 1 As shown and described below. The figures herein illustrate optical perspectives presented to a user by an electronic device 101 (e.g., and displayed by a display 120a of the electronic device 101). In some examples, the electronic device 101 may be similar to Figure 1 2 , and / or may be a head-mounted system / device and / or a projection-based system / device (including a hologram-based system / device) configured to generate and present a three-dimensional environment, such as, for example, a heads-up display (HUD), a head-mounted display (HMD), a window with integrated display capabilities, a display formed as a lens designed to be placed on a human eye (e.g., similar to a contact lens). In some examples, the electronic device 160 (e.g., Figure 3B shown and discussed below) can be similar to Figure 1 2 or the electronic device 160 in FIG. 2 or the electronic device 260 in FIG.

[0047] like Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to display a user interface 302 of a movie player application in a three-dimensional environment 300 (showing the physical environment through optical see-through) in a first manner (e.g., a full-screen immersive user interface) accompanied by a first tint level 308. In some examples, the electronic device 101 displays the user interface 302 while tinting a portion of the display 120a that is visible via the display 120a of the electronic device 101 and corresponds to the physical environment 306 (e.g., and behind and around the user interface 302) with the first tint level 308. For example, as shown in FIG. Figure 3AAs shown, the physical environment includes a table 304. When the electronic device 101 is displaying the user interface 302, a representation of the table 304 is not presented in the three-dimensional environment 300 and / or is not otherwise visible from the user's viewpoint. In some examples, when the electronic device 101 is displaying the user interface 302, the display 120a of the electronic device 101 appears with a first tint level 308 when the user is wearing the electronic device 101. For example, the display 120a of the electronic device 101 may be tinted with the first tint level 308 so that other people who are looking at the electronic device 101 can see the first tint level 308. In some examples, the first tint level 308 is applied to the display 120a of the electronic device 101. In some examples, when the electronic device 101 is displaying the user interface 302 with the first tint level 308, other people who are looking at the electronic device 101 can see the first tint level 308 applied to the display 120a, and vice versa.

[0048] It should be understood that in some examples, electronic device 101 displays a user interface different from user interface 302 or multiple user interfaces associated with multiple different applications (e.g., including or different from user interface 302) while presenting three-dimensional environment 300 using first shading level 308. For example, Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 101 displays a user interface 302 that is playing a movie, such as from a movie application, while coloring portions of the display 120a that correspond to other portions of the three-dimensional environment 300 (e.g., behind and around the user interface 302). In some examples, the electronic device 101 may display a Figure 3A 3D environment 300 is presented in a first shading level 308.

[0049] In some examples, presenting content (e.g., user interface 302) in a first manner includes presenting the content at a first size, a first brightness, a first opacity, a first position, and / or a first anchoring scheme. Figure 3AAs shown, user interface 302 is presented at a first size that occupies a majority of the field of view of three-dimensional environment 300 (e.g., a majority of display 120a), at a first brightness that contrasts with a tinted background provided via first tinting level 308, at a first opacity that limits the user's ability to see representations of the physical environment behind and / or through user interface 302, at a first position that is centered in the field of view of three-dimensional environment 300, and with a first anchoring scheme. In some examples, as described above, the anchoring scheme refers to the user interface being displayed in a head-locked orientation, a world-locked orientation, or a tilt-locked orientation. In some examples, Figure 3A , when user interface 302 is displayed with the first anchoring scheme, user interface 302 is displayed in a head-locked orientation. In some examples, a user of electronic device 101 can change one or more of the characteristics of the display of content discussed above (e.g., how the user interface is displayed).

[0050] In some examples, when displaying content (e.g., user interface 302) in a first manner in three-dimensional environment 300, electronic device 101 or electronic device 160 determines that one or more criteria are met. Therefore, electronic device 101 displays the content in a second manner, such as Figure 3B Automatically displaying the content in the second manner after determining that one or more criteria are met allows the electronic device 101 to display / allow the user to view more of its physical environment 306 without additional input, thereby reducing erroneous input to the electronic device. Displaying the content in the second manner optionally includes displaying one or more of the user interface 302 at a second size different from the first size, at a second brightness different from the first brightness, at a second opacity different from the first opacity, at a second position different from the first position, and / or according to a second anchoring scheme different from the first anchoring scheme. For example, as Figure 3B As shown, the ratio is displayed in the three-dimensional environment 300. Figure 3A Alternatively, in some examples, the user interface is minimized so that it is no longer displayed and / or visible in the three-dimensional environment 300 from the user's point of view (e.g., when video playback continues as audio only, the content is hidden, optionally represented by user interface elements). In some examples, the second size of the user interface 302 depends on the type of user interface being displayed. For example, a user interface of a movie player application is displayed at a reduced size in the three-dimensional environment 300, such as Figure 3BAlternatively, when the user interface is displayed in the second manner, the user interface of the web browser application may be minimized and not shown at all and / or may not be currently visible from the user's point of view. In some examples, minimizing content on electronic device 101 includes ceasing to display user interface 302 on electronic device 101 and displaying user interface 302 on electronic device 160. For example, a video user interface may be minimized on electronic device 101 and may automatically continue to play on electronic device 160. Alternatively, users of electronic devices 101 and 160 may determine which user interfaces are minimized and / or which are displayed at a smaller size (e.g., user preferences or settings). Additionally, as Figure 3B As shown, the user interface 302 is Figure 3A The user interface 302 in the electronic device 101 is made less bright and less opaque to draw attention to the representation of the physical environment 306 and / or otherwise enable easy viewing of the representation of the physical environment (e.g., to the electronic device 160, the table 304, and / or the table 312), while optionally drawing attention away from the user interface 302. In some examples, displaying the content in a second manner (e.g., at a second size that is smaller than the first size) is accompanied by applying a second level of tint to the display 120a of the electronic device 101. Figure 3B As shown, the second shading level 316 is applied to the display 120a so that the representation of the physical environment 306 is now clearly visible in the three-dimensional environment 300, thereby enabling the user to see the electronic device 160 through the display 120a. In other words, because the user interface 302 is displayed at a smaller size (e.g., in a second manner) and because the second shading level 316 corresponds to the transparent state of the display 120a, the user is able to see the physical environment through the display 102a (via optical see-through). Figure 3B As shown, because the display 120a of the electronic device 101 is shown as having the second color level 316, the second color level 316 can be seen by others. The electronic device 101 applies the second color level 316 to the display 120a to indicate (e.g., to others) that the content is being displayed on the electronic device 101 in the second manner. Figure 3B As shown, the second shading level 316 is Figure 3A In some examples, the first tint level 308 of the electronic device 101 is more transparent (e.g., less opaque). Additionally, in some examples, displaying the content in the second manner includes displaying the content using a world-locked orientation rather than a head-locked orientation. In some examples, the user can change one or more characteristics of the second manner (e.g., manually via user input). Alternatively, in some examples, the user of the electronic device 101 can manually change the tint level, separate from the content display features described herein.

[0051] In some examples, the electronic device 101 changes the tinting level by adjusting the opacity of a dedicated layer of the display 120a. For example, the display 120a optionally includes multiple layers, including one or more controllable tinting layers, each of which can be configured to filter an adjustable amount of light (e.g., light having a specific wavelength or range of wavelengths). In some examples, one of the controllable tinting layers can include a frosted glass layer that can be controlled to scatter an adjustable amount of incident light corresponding to the first tinting level 308, the second tinting level 316, and / or other tinting levels as described herein. Alternatively, in some examples, the display 120a does not have a separately controllable tinting layer. For example, the tinting control can be integrated into the display 120a (e.g., integrated into other layers of the display 120a).

[0052] Figure 3B Examples are illustrated in which one or more first criteria and one or more second criteria are met for the electronic device 101 to display content in a second manner and / or in a second hue. In some examples, the satisfaction of the one or more first criteria is evaluated based on input detected by the electronic device 160, and the satisfaction of the one or more second criteria is evaluated based on input detected by the electronic device 101. For example, the one or more first criteria include criteria that are met when the electronic device 160 detects input (e.g., touch input to a touch screen, button input, etc.) and / or criteria that are met when the electronic device 160 detects motion (optionally, a characteristic motion (e.g., lifting the electronic device 160)). The one or more second criteria optionally include criteria that are met when the electronic device 101 detects motion greater than a threshold motion (e.g., an indication of tilting the head downward).

[0053] like Figure 3B As shown, the user picks up the electronic device 160 (e.g., by having a Figures 2A to 2BIn some examples, the user unlocks electronic device 160 by providing a user input detected by one or more input devices (e.g., an image sensor, a depth sensor, etc.) of electronic device 160. In some examples, electronic device 160 uses biometric data, such as a fingerprint or facial image of the user, to verify the user's identity to unlock electronic device 160. In response to detecting a characteristic motion of electronic device 160 and / or electronic device 101 (e.g., horizontal and / or vertical movement of electronic device 160 toward electronic device 101, such as a threshold movement corresponding to lowering the head toward the handheld device by a threshold amount and / or positioning the handheld device toward the head) and / or the input for unlocking electronic device 160, in some examples, electronic device 160 sends an indication to electronic device 101 indicating that one or more first criteria are met for electronic device 160. In some examples, the horizontal movement corresponds to movement of electronic device 160 from a first yaw position to a second yaw position. In some examples, the vertical movement corresponds to movement of the electronic device 160 from a first pitch to a second pitch.

[0054] exist Figure 3B , when picking up and viewing the message user interface 314 on the electronic device 160, the user also tilts their head downward to look at the electronic device 160 (which is detected by the electronic device 101). In some examples, the movement of the user's head when the user looks downward at the electronic device 160 is greater than the threshold movement required for the electronic device 101 to transition the color level and manner of displaying the content. In some examples, the movement is relative to gravity and / or the horizon (e.g., the horizon of the three-dimensional environment 300, which optionally corresponds to a horizontal line or plane passing through the field of view of the three-dimensional environment 300 (e.g., its center)). In some examples, the movement is relative to the forward direction used to view the content, regardless of gravity or the horizon of the physical environment.

[0055] In some examples, the threshold movement required by the electronic device 101 depends on the user interface displayed on the electronic device 101 (and / or the user is engaging with). Figure 3A As shown, when watching a movie using a user interface 302 that is typically associated with relatively little head movement, the threshold movement required to meet the one or more second criteria is lower than when the user uses a user interface that involves relatively more head movement (e.g., a gaming user interface). In some examples, the required threshold movement is movement toward the electronic device 160 (e.g., as shown in FIG. Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe downward vertical rotational movement (pitch) shown towards the electronic device 160) can be from the first position ( Figure 3A , 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, etc., depending on the user interface displayed on the electronic device 101. In some examples, using different standard movements based on the user interface allows the electronic device to automatically transition content from being displayed in a first manner to being displayed in a second manner while reducing erroneous transitions based on movement.

[0056] In response to detecting that one or more first criteria and one or more second criteria are met (e.g., at electronic device 160, at electronic device 101, or at a combination of the two devices), electronic device 101 stops displaying content in the first manner and begins displaying content in the second manner, as described above. For example, when electronic device 101 displays content in the second manner, user interface 302 is automatically displayed at a smaller size. Displaying user interface 302 at a smaller size allows a representation of physical environment 306 to be visible. In some examples, a movie continues to play in user interface 302 while at a smaller size. In some examples, displaying content in the second manner allows the user to view electronic device 160 without obstruction. For example, a user may want to read a notification (such as a text message, email, social media notification, or other notification) or otherwise focus on electronic device 160. Although Figures 3A to 3C The primary focus is on the first and second criteria, but the operations described herein may be based on a subset of the first and / or second criteria.

[0057] In some examples, the user may want to resume looking at the user interface 302 after interacting with the electronic device 160. Figure 3C As shown, the user can move the electronic device 160 out of their field of view (e.g., place the electronic device 160 back on the table 304) and / or move their head back to Figure 3A The position shown (e.g., raising the head to the first position) produces movement of the electronic device 101. Figure 3C As shown, during this movement, the user has moved the electronic device 160 from the second position (eg, Figure 3B308 (and the three-dimensional environment 300 from the second shading level 316 to the first shading level 308). Figure 3A ). The third shading level 320 corresponds to a third physical shading level 320 applied to the display of the electronic device 101, as shown in FIG. Figure 3C In some examples, the third tint level 320 is less transparent than the second tint level 316, but more transparent than the first tint level 308. Displaying the content in the third mode while transitioning from the second mode to the first mode allows the electronic device to provide feedback to the user and indicate to the user that the content is transitioning from the second mode to the first mode.

[0058] In some examples, when transitioning from the second mode to the first mode, the content in the three-dimensional environment 300 transitions from the second size to the first size, from the second brightness to the first brightness, from the second opacity to the first opacity, from the second position to the first position, and / or from the second anchoring scheme to the first anchoring scheme. In some examples, transitioning from the second mode to the first mode includes displaying the content in a third mode that allows for a gradual transition from the second mode to the first mode. For example, Figure 3C As shown, transitioning the display of user interface 302 from the second size to the first size includes displaying user interface 302 at a third size that is larger than the second size but smaller than the first size in three-dimensional environment 300. In some examples, when displaying content in the third manner, electronic device 160 detects that the user is moving electronic device 160 toward the second position of electronic device 160 (e.g., to resume looking at electronic device 160) and that electronic device 101 is moving toward the second position of electronic device 101 (e.g., to resume looking at electronic device 160). Figure 3BAs shown). Thus, electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to gradually transition the display of content from the third mode to the second mode (e.g., instead of the first mode). Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, causing electronic device 101 to display content in the second mode may also include a gradual transition from the first mode to the second mode, similar to the description of the gradual transition from the second mode to the first mode as described above. In some examples, once one or more first criteria and / or one or more second criteria are no longer met, electronic device 101 returns to Figure 3A For example, once electronic device 101 returns to the first position and / or electronic device 160 returns to its first position, electronic device 101 resumes displaying the content in the first manner and with the first hue. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, when electronic device 160 is out of the field of view of electronic device 101 and / or when electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 is raised by a second threshold amount that is less than the aforementioned threshold amount, electronic device 101 resumes displaying the content in the first manner with the first hue.

[0059] Figure 3D An alternative example is illustrated in which one or more criteria are met to cause electronic device 101 to display content in a second manner. In some examples, when electronic device 101 detects movement from a first position to a second position (e.g., as opposed to both electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 detecting movement), electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to display content in the second manner. As described above, the first position is the position where electronic device 101 was located when electronic device 101 displayed content in the first manner (e.g., at Figure 3A ), and the second position is the position of the electronic device 101 when the content is displayed in the second manner (for example, in Figure 3B In some examples, and as Figure 3B As described in , the electronic device 101 uses one or more sensors (such as an IMU sensor) to detect movement greater than a threshold movement.

[0060] like Figure 3D As shown, the electronic device 101 detects a vertical movement greater than a threshold movement, which causes the electronic device 101 to display the content in a second manner. In some examples, the electronic device 101 may detect a horizontal / angular movement greater than a threshold movement to cause the electronic device 101 to display the content in a second manner. Figures 3E to 3F Horizontal / angular movement is described in more detail in . In some examples, the one or more criteria also include a criterion that is met when the display of the electronic device 160 is turned on, such as when the electronic device 160 receives an alert (e.g., a notification). Figure 3DAs shown, the display of electronic device 160 is on and is displaying lock screen user interface 324. In some examples, the display is on because electronic device 160 receives an indication of a notification event and displays a visual indication of the notification 326. In some examples, electronic device 101 detects movement greater than a threshold movement (e.g., due to the user moving their head downward in the direction of electronic device 160) in response to electronic device 160 displaying visual indication 326.

[0061] Figures 3E to 3F An example is illustrated in which electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to display content in a second manner in response to detecting a sound and corresponding movement of electronic device 160. In some examples, electronic device 160, electronic device 101, and / or a different electronic device (e.g., an external microphone communicatively connected to electronic device 160 and / or electronic device 101) detects sound 336 and the direction of sound 336 (e.g., behind the user of electronic device 101, as shown). Additionally, in some examples, electronic device 101, electronic device 160, and / or a communicatively connected electronic device detects a rotation of electronic device 101 toward sound 336 (e.g., a horizontal / angular rotation). Due to the detection of sound 336 and the rotation toward sound 336 that is greater than a threshold movement / rotation as described above, electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to display content in a second manner. For example, as Figure 3F As shown, the user of electronic device 101 rotates electronic device 101 to a second position in the direction of sound 336. As a result, electronic device 101 presents content in three-dimensional environment 300 in a second manner, including changing the coloring of electronic device 101 from first coloring level 308 to second coloring level 316. Changing the coloring level allows the person making sound 336 (e.g., speaking) to determine that the user of electronic device 101 is looking at them (e.g., changing the coloring allows the person to see the eyes of the user of electronic device 101) and allows the user of electronic device 101 to see the person making sound 336.

[0062] In some examples, the one or more first criteria for causing electronic device 101 to display content in the second manner may be based solely on movement of electronic device 101 (rather than also based on movement and / or input of electronic device 160). Figures 3E to 3F In the example described in , electronic device 101 moves (rotationally and horizontally) toward a sound detected by a microphone. During this interaction, electronic device 160 optionally does not move or moves less than a threshold distance (horizontally and rotationally) relative to a first position of electronic device 160. In some examples, the first position is the position of electronic device 160 when electronic device 101 displays content in a first manner. For example, electronic device 160 may be in a user's pocket and may be in a Figures 3E to 3FThe illustrated interaction with the person involves a negligible amount of movement.In some examples, the one or more first criteria for causing electronic device 101 to display content in the second manner may include any combination of criteria as described herein.

[0063] Alternatively, in some examples, if both electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 are moving in the same direction (e.g., and at the same speed and / or acceleration), electronic device 101 optionally does not display the content in the second manner. For example, a user may rotate in their chair, causing both electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 to move (e.g., at the same speed and in the same direction). In some such examples, electronic device 101 does not begin displaying the content in the second manner.

[0064] Figures 3G to 3H An alternative example of content presented in a second manner is illustrated. In some examples, electronic device 101 may selectively display portions of the content in a second manner in three-dimensional environment 300 and selectively color portions of one or more displays in a second hue, rather than completely changing the characteristics of three-dimensional environment 300 as described in the figures above. For example, in Figure 3G In some examples, in response to determining that one or more criteria for presenting content in a second manner are met (e.g., detecting that the display of electronic device 160 is turned on, detecting that electronic device 160 receives an alert (e.g., a notification), and / or detecting that movement of electronic device 160 is greater than a threshold distance as described herein), electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to apply a bubble effect 330 to three-dimensional environment 300. In some examples, applying the bubble effect 330 includes displaying a (e.g., predetermined) portion of the three-dimensional environment 300 (including user interface 302) at a second tint level 316 that is more transparent than the first tint level 308. In some examples, the bubble effect 330 includes a boundary between one or more areas of the display having the second tint level 316 and one or more areas of the display having the first tint level 308. Although Figures 3G to 3H The bubble effect 330 is illustrated with a curved boundary (e.g., a sphere, a conical cross-section, etc.) between the first shading level 308 and the second shading level 316, but the bubble effect 330 can be displayed with other boundaries (e.g., a rectangle, a plane, or other geometric shape that divides one or more areas of the display having the first shading level 308 and one or more areas of the display having the second shading level 316). In some examples, such as Figure 3HAs shown, when electronic device 160 detects movement of electronic device 160 toward the user (e.g., toward electronic device 101), the size (e.g., volume) of bubble effect 330 can increase. For example, as the elevation (relative to the ground) of electronic device 160 increases, the size of bubble effect 330 increases. In some examples, as the user tilts their head (and electronic device 101) toward electronic device 160, the size of bubble effect 330 can increase (e.g., electronic device 160 occupies more of a fixed area in the user's field of view). For example, as Figure 3H As shown, a smaller portion of the user interface 302 remains displayed in the three-dimensional environment 300, and a larger portion of the physical environment 306 becomes visible from the viewpoint of the user of the electronic device 101. Thus, in some examples, applying the bubble effect 330 may, as a benefit, allow the user to gather information indicating the context of the physical environment 306 (e.g., viewing and / or interacting with one or more physical objects in the physical environment 306, such as the electronic device 160) without stopping and / or minimizing the display of the user interface 302. In some examples, the display of the electronic device 101 may also include both the first tint level 308 and the second tint level 316. For example, as shown in FIG. Figure 3H As shown, the area of the display of the electronic device 101 represented by the bubble effect 330 includes the second tint level 316 .

[0065] In some examples, electronic device 160 includes an image sensor, such as Figures 2A to 2B . In some examples, the image sensor is an infrared sensor, a camera, or other optical sensor. In some examples, the electronic device 160 may use the image sensor to determine the position of the display 120a (e.g., one or more displays of the electronic device 101) relative to the position of the electronic device 160. In other words, the electronic device 160 may use the image sensor to determine the relationship between the positions of the electronic device 101 and the electronic device 160. For example, the electronic device 160 uses the position of the electronic device 101 relative to the electronic device 160 to determine the position of the electronic device 160 relative to the electronic device 101. In some examples, after determining the relationship between the positions of the electronic device 101 and the electronic device 160, the electronic device 160 (or the electronic device 101) causes the second tinting level 308 to be applied to the portion of the display 120 corresponding to the position of the electronic device 160. For example, in Figure 3G and Figure 3H , the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to apply a bubble effect 330 to an area of the three-dimensional environment 300 including the electronic device 160 .

[0066] although Figures 3G to 3H A bubble effect 330 is illustrated, but in some examples, the bubble effect 330 may be replaced by a tint gradient, such as Figure 3H-A In some examples, the bubble effect 330 includes two levels of coloring with a border between them, and Figure 3H-A The shading gradient shown includes more than two shading levels. For example, the shading gradient effect includes a boundary between a first shading level and a second shading level, and includes intermediate shading levels to gradually transition the shading levels from the first shading level to the second shading level. In some examples, the shading gradient includes a gradient of shading levels (e.g., including a third shading level as described above) to gradually transition from the first shading level to the second shading level. For example, in Figure 3G , electronic device 160 optionally uses an image sensor to determine the position of electronic device 101 relative to electronic device 160 and causes the display of a color gradient. Figure 3H-A As shown, the second tint level is applied at the bottom of display 120a toward the position of electronic device 160, the first tint level is applied at the top of display 120a, and electronic device 101 gradually transitions between the first and second tint levels. In some examples, electronic device 160 causes display 120a to dynamically adjust the tint gradient based on the position of electronic device 160. For example, if the position of electronic device 160 moves upward toward the top of electronic device 101, electronic device 160 causes the gradient to shift so that a larger portion of display 120a includes the second tint level. Specifically, the boundary between the first and second tint levels, as well as the gradient therebetween, shifts so that electronic device 160 includes the second tint level for the position at the bottom of display 120a.

[0067] In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 may not have high reliability regarding the position of electronic device 160 relative to display 120a of electronic device 101. In such examples, electronic device 160 may cause electronic device 101 to have a defined gradient level based on the estimated position of electronic device 160. In some examples, the defined gradient level includes a second tint level of 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% from bottom to top based on the estimated position of electronic device 160.

[0068] In some examples, one or more third criteria are required to be met for electronic device 160 to cause electronic device 101 to resume displaying content in the first manner discussed above. In some examples, after the one or more third criteria are met, electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to display content in the first manner, including applying the first tint level 308 to one or more displays also shown in three-dimensional environment 300, as shown in FIG. Figure 3IIn some examples, when the criteria for displaying the content in the second manner are no longer met, one or more third criteria may be met. In some examples, the one or more third criteria may include criteria that are met when the display of electronic device 160 is turned off (e.g., by a user or after a threshold amount of time has passed without input from electronic device 160). For example, Figure 3I As shown, the display of electronic device 160 is no longer active and electronic device 101 is in the first position. In some examples, one or more third criteria are satisfied when electronic device 101 and electronic device 160 are in their respective first positions. For example, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects movement of electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 that is consistent with returning the respective electronic device to its first position. In some examples, one or more third criteria are satisfied when electronic device 160, electronic device 101, and / or a different electronic device (e.g., an external microphone) no longer detects sound. In some examples, resuming display of content in the first manner includes causing electronic device 101 to apply the first tint level 308 to the display, as shown. Figure 3I shown.

[0069] Figures 3J to 3M An additional example is illustrated in which the electronic device 101 and / or the electronic device 160 applies a second tint level to the display 120a of the electronic device 101 in response to detecting that one or more second criteria are satisfied. As described above, the one or more second criteria are satisfied when the electronic device 101 detects movement greater than a threshold movement. In some embodiments, automatically changing the tint level in response to detecting certain movements (e.g., sitting to standing, standing to walking, or other movements) allows the user to better understand their physical environment without requiring additional input to the electronic device 101 and / or the electronic device 160 (e.g., without closing, moving, or resizing virtual content).

[0070] exist Figure 3J In , the electronic device 101 detects that the user is sitting down (for example, sitting on the chair 350). Figure 3J , the electronic device 101 displays (or the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to display) the user interface 302 in a first manner having a first coloring level 308, such as Figure 3A In some examples, when electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects that the user remains seated (e.g., no movement that satisfies one or more second criteria is detected), electronic device 101 continues to display user interface 302 in the first manner with the first tint level.

[0071] Figures 3K to 3MExamples are shown in which electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects movement that satisfies one or more second criteria. In some examples, one or more second criteria are satisfied when electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects movement that indicates a transition between a user sitting down and a user standing up (e.g., detecting a threshold increase in height from the ground) and / or movement that indicates a user walking (e.g., detecting a linear velocity greater than a threshold). In some examples, one or more second criteria are satisfied when electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects movement that exceeds a threshold movement (e.g., a sudden movement that indicates a user falling). For example, the detected acceleration is greater than a threshold acceleration.

[0072] exist Figure 3K , the electronic device 101 stops displaying the user interface 302 (e.g., a video application), and the display 120a changes from a first tint level to a second tint level in response to the electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detecting a movement indicating that the user is standing up. In some examples, the display 120a changes from the first tint level to the second tint level, and the electronic device 101 stops displaying the user interface 302, because the electronic device 101 and / or 160 detects a transition from a state in which contextual awareness of the physical environment 306 is less important to a state in which contextual awareness of the physical environment 306 is more important. For example, when in a sitting state, the user of the electronic device 101 and / or 160 is not at risk of colliding with the physical environment in the absence of movement in the physical environment. In contrast, user movement indicating a transition to standing increases the likelihood of movement or an increased risk of collision unless the user is able to view their physical environment 306. For example, in Figure 3K In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects that the user is standing (e.g., begins moving to a different position, draws their attention to a different object other than display 120a, etc.). In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 uses one or more position, orientation, and / or movement sensors (such as accelerometers and / or inertial measurement units (IMUs)) to detect that electronic device 101 is moving against the gravity vector at a positive acceleration and / or velocity that is greater than a threshold amount, thereby indicating that the user is transitioning from a standing position to a standing position.

[0073] exist Figure 3LIn some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects that the user is walking. In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 may use a global positioning sensor, an IMU, and / or other sensors to determine that the user is walking (moving). For example, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 may detect that the position of the corresponding device is moving and / or an acceleration, a change in speed, a change in position, and / or other movements consistent with walking. For example, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects a linear velocity greater than a threshold velocity (where the threshold is changed by the implementer to distinguish between standing and walking).

[0074] In some examples, in response to detecting a standing position or walking movement, the electronic device 101 may present a Figure 3B The user interface 302 shown in FIG. Specifically, as Figure 3B As shown, the electronic device 101 displays the contents of the user interface 302 in a smaller size, rather than as shown in FIG. Figure 3K and Figure 3M Minimized content shown.

[0075] In some examples, electronic device 101 may resume displaying user interface 302 at the first shading level in response to detecting movement indicating a user sitting down (or movement indicating a user walking to a stationary standing position). For example, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects movement with a positive acceleration and / or velocity utilizing a gravity vector, indicating a transition from standing to sitting. In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects a downward position change indicating a transition from standing to sitting. In some examples, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects a linear velocity below a threshold velocity (where the threshold velocity is variable by the implementer to distinguish between standing and walking), indicating a transition from walking to a stationary standing position. In some examples, electronic device 101 resumes displaying user interface 302 at the first shading level (e.g., a user interface previously displayed when the user was sitting) in response to detecting that the user is no longer standing (e.g., the user is sitting down) and / or moving (e.g., the user is stationary).

[0076] exist Figure 3MIn the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 101 stops displaying the user interface 302 and changes the color level from the first color level to the second color level in response to detecting a movement exceeding a threshold movement (e.g., indicating a fall or other sudden movement). For example, the electronic device 101 and / or 160 includes an accelerometer, an IMU, and other motion sensors that detect sudden changes in acceleration and / or accelerations above a threshold acceleration. Alternatively or additionally, the electronic device 101 and / or 160 can detect a sudden deceleration (or deceleration after acceleration). For example, the electronic device 101 and / or 160 detects a fall suffered by the user. In response to detecting a sudden movement, the electronic device 101 stops displaying the user interface 302 and changes the color level from the first color level 308 to the second color level 316, enabling the user to focus on the physical environment 306 to assess the situation, take action during a fall and / or recover from a fall, and / or receive care.

[0077] Figures 3N to 3O An example is illustrated in which the electronic device 101 and / or the electronic device 160 changes the manner in which content is presented based on the satisfaction of one or more fourth criteria. Figure 3N and Figure 3O In some embodiments, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 also communicates with a third electronic device 352. In some examples, electronic device 352 is an external display device and / or a computer, such as a desktop computer, a television, or a laptop computer. In some examples, electronic device 352 is a smartphone, a tablet computer, and / or a head-mounted display.

[0078] exist Figure 3N In FIG, display 120a is displaying the user interface 354 of the web browser application. Figure 3N , electronic device 101 does not have electronic device 352 in the field of view (e.g., electronic device 352 is not displayed in three-dimensional environment 300). When electronic device 101 does not have electronic device 352 in the field of view, electronic device 101 (and / or electronic device 160) is displaying user interface 354 on display 120a. In some examples, if electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects an electronic device in the field of view of electronic device 101 that includes the capability to display the user interface currently displayed on display 120a, electronic device 101 stops presenting the user interface on display 120a, and the electronic device in the field of view of electronic device 101 starts presenting the corresponding user interface, as shown in FIG. Figure 3O In other words, Figure 3N, electronic device 101 is displaying user interface 354 in a first manner having first shading level 316. In response to detecting that electronic device 352 is in the field of view of electronic device 101, electronic device 101 begins presenting content in a fourth manner, wherein electronic device 101 stops displaying content on display 120 a and begins presenting a pass-through video of physical environment 306, and electronic device 352 begins displaying content.

[0079] Figure 3O The example shows electronic device 101 presenting a pass-through video of physical environment 306, including a representation of electronic device 352 displaying user interface 354. In some examples, electronic device 101 presents the pass-through video (e.g., while including second tint level 308) in response to detecting that one or more criteria are met. For example, the one or more criteria optionally include a criterion that is met when electronic device 160, electronic device 101, and / or electronic device 352 detects that a user's attention is being directed toward electronic device 352. In some examples, the one or more criteria include a criterion that is met when electronic device 352 includes the capability to display a user interface. As described above, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 detects that electronic device 352 includes the capability to display a user interface. For example, electronic device 352 includes an application corresponding to user interface 354 (e.g., the application is downloaded), and / or electronic device 352 communicates with electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160. In some examples, electronic devices 101, 160, and / or 352 detect that the user's attention is directed toward electronic device 101 based on gaze data, image data (e.g., from an outward-facing camera that captures images including electronic device 352), and / or head rotation data from one or more image sensors and / or motion sensors (e.g., inward-facing cameras, outward-facing cameras, IMUs, and other sensors) on electronic devices 352, 160, and / or 352. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, electronic devices 101, 160, and / or 352 detect input directed toward electronic device 352, such as tap input (e.g., with a finger, stylus, keyboard, and / or cursor), gaze input, gesture input, and / or voice input. In some examples, electronic device 352 includes one or more accessories that can receive input from the user, such as a microphone, mouse, trackpad, and / or keyboard.

[0080] although Figure 3N and Figure 3O An example is illustrated with electronic device 352, such as a desktop or laptop computer, but similar interactions may be performed using any electronic device, such as electronic device 160. For example, electronic device 101 and / or electronic device 160 may detect that electronic device 160 is in the field of view, and electronic device 160 may then begin presenting content previously presented on display 120a.

[0081] Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, when the user interface 354 in the three-dimensional environment 300 is anchored relative to the electronic device 352, the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to perform the operations described herein. Figure 3N and Figure 3O For example, the user interface 354 can be anchored at a location in the three-dimensional environment (e.g., above, to the left, to the right, below, etc.) (e.g., to increase the information viewable by the user and maintain the connection between physical objects and virtual content in the environment). When the user interface 354 is viewed in the three-dimensional environment 300, such as Figure 3N As shown, electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to include first tint level 316. In response to detecting that electronic device 101 includes electronic device 352 in the field of view, electronic device 160 causes electronic device 101 to include second tint level 308 so that electronic device 352 is visible to the user.

[0082] In some examples, when the pass-through video is presented at the second shading level 308 (such as Figure 3B 、 Figure 3C 、 Figure 3D 、 Figure 3G 、 Figure 3H 、 Figure 3H-A and Figure 3O ), the electronic device 160 may send an instruction to the electronic device 352 to increase the brightness or change the color of a display associated with the electronic device 352. In some examples, when content is presented through the display 120a using the second tinting level 308, the electronic device in the pass-through video may appear darker or discolored compared to if the user were looking at the corresponding electronic device without using the display 120a and / or the electronic device 101. For example, the display 120a and / or the tinting applied to the display 120a may cause the brightness of the external display or the color of the external display to appear different than if it were not viewed through the display 120a (e.g., the electronic device 101). Therefore, the electronic device 101 and / or the electronic device 160 may send an instruction to the corresponding electronic device to increase the brightness or change the color of the display associated with the corresponding electronic device to offset the corresponding tinting effect (e.g., in order to provide a higher viewing experience to the user). For example, in Figure 3O In the example, the electronic device 352 may increase the brightness of the display and / or provide color adjustments. Figure 3B 、 Figure 3C 、 Figure 3D 、 Figure 3G and / or Figure 3H, electronic device 160 may brighten the display and / or adjust the color while electronic device 101 includes a second tint level 308. In some examples, changing the brightness and / or color of the external display for viewing through electronic device 101 improves user interaction with the external display and with electronic device 101 by counteracting the effects of the lens / display (e.g., display 120a) of electronic device 101. In some examples, the color adjustment includes adding color tint (e.g., yellow, blue, green, or other colors) and / or changing the RGB (red, green, blue) scale to more accurately display colors relative to real-world colors.

[0083] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating an example process for causing an electronic device to present content in a three-dimensional environment in a second manner rather than a first manner according to some examples of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, process 400 begins at an electronic device that communicates with one or more displays and one or more input devices. In some examples, the electronic device is optionally similar to or corresponding to Figure 2A The head mounted display of the electronic device 201 is similar to or corresponds to Figure 2B The electronic device 260 is a mobile electronic device. Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, at 402, the electronic device causes one or more displays to present content in a first manner while applying a first shading level at the one or more displays. Figure 3A The electronic device 160 in Figure 3A One or more displays of the electronic device 101 in the present content, such as the user interface 302, in a first manner (eg, occupying the total field of view of the electronic device 101) and in a first hue 308.

[0084] In some examples, at 404, the electronic device determines that one or more criteria are met when the one or more displays are presenting content in a first manner and when a first level of colorization is applied at the one or more displays. For example, the electronic device detects vertical (e.g., upward) movement of the electronic device 160 toward the user of the electronic device 101 that is greater than a threshold movement, movement of the electronic device 101 toward the electronic device 160 that is greater than a threshold (rotational) movement, or both, such as Figure 3B Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the electronic device detects the sound and the movement of the electronic device 101 toward the sound, such as Figure 3F In some examples, at 406, in response to determining that one or more criteria are met, at 408, the electronic device causes the content to be presented in a second manner different from the first manner. Figure 3D As shown, the electronic device 101 presents the content in a second manner, such as Figure 3AThe user interface 302 is presented in a smaller size.

[0085] In some examples, at 410, the electronic device causes a second tint level, different from the first tint level, to be applied at one or more displays. Figure 3B As shown, the electronic device 160 causes the electronic device 101 to apply a second tint level 316 that is more transparent than the first tint level 308 .

[0086] It should be understood that process 400 is an example and more, fewer, or different operations may be performed in the same or different order. In addition, the operations in process 400 described above are optionally performed by running an information processing device such as a general-purpose processor (e.g., as described with respect to FIG. Figures 2A to 2B said) or one or more functional modules in a dedicated chip and / or through Figures 2A to 2B other components to achieve this.

[0087] Therefore, in accordance with the above, some examples of the present disclosure relate to a method, the method comprising an electronic device in communication with one or more displays and one or more input devices: causing the one or more displays to present content in a first manner while applying a first tint level at the one or more displays; while the one or more displays are presenting the content in the first manner and while the first tint level is being applied at the one or more displays, determining that one or more criteria are satisfied; in response to determining that the one or more criteria are satisfied: causing the content to be presented in a second manner different from the first manner; and causing the second tint level different from the first tint level to be applied at the one or more displays.

Additionally or alternatively to one or more of the examples disclosed above, in some examples, the one or more displays and one or more input devices are included in a second electronic device, and wherein the one or more criteria include criteria that are satisfied when movement of the second electronic device satisfies one or more second criteria.

In addition to or as an alternative to one or more of the examples disclosed above, in some examples, the one or more first criteria include criteria that are satisfied when the electronic device detects input using the one or more input devices.
