Mobile device, head-mounted display, and linked display system

Abstract

When displaying information by linking a mobile device and an HMD, the system leverages the unique features of each device to achieve user-friendly operation and an easy-to-view display format. [Solution] In a collaborative display system that connects a mobile terminal 1 and a head-mounted display 2 to display information in cooperation, the mobile terminal 1 displays information on a first display and transmits at least a portion of the displayed information to the head-mounted display, and the head-mounted display distributes the information transmitted from the mobile terminal to the second display. Here, the information displayed on the mobile terminal is hierarchical information, and the information displayed on the head-mounted display is lower-level information within that hierarchical structure. Furthermore, a sensor in the mobile terminal 1 detects whether the user is stationary or moving, and if the user is stationary, the display of information on the mobile terminal 1 is stopped, and the information is displayed only on the head-mounted display 2.

Claims
