[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a display control system according to an embodiment. The display control system includes a head mounted display (HMD) 1, a controller 2, and a display control device 3. The head mounted display 1 and the display control device 3 are capable of communicating with each other (preferably wirelessly), and the display control device 3 and the controller 2 are also capable of communicating with each other.

[0017] The head mounted display 1 is worn on the user's head and covers the field of view of both eyes of the user. This allows the user to view an image displayed on the head mounted display 1. Still images, videos, documents, homepages, and any other object (electronic file) are displayed on the head mounted display 1. In this embodiment, as an example, the head mounted display 1 displays an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages. Here, the document includes still images, videos, documents, and the like. There are no particular limitations on the display mode, and the object may be displayed at any position on a virtual plane, or may be displayed at any position in a virtual space (virtual reality space) having depth.

[0018] The controller 2 is an input interface that accepts operations from a user. Fig. 2 shows a specific example of the controller 2. The controller 2 has at least one operation button 20, and various sensors (not shown) that detect the orientation and movement (acceleration, rotation, etc.) of the controller 2 are built in.

[0019] The display control device 3 controls the head mounted display 1 in response to a user operation on the controller 2. The display control device 3 stores at least one object in a storage device (not shown), and may read an object specified by the user from the storage device and display it on the head mounted display 1. Alternatively, the display control device 3 has an Internet connection function, and may display a homepage specified by the user on the head mounted display 1.

[0020] The display control device 3 may be a dedicated terminal or a general-purpose personal computer. The display control device 3 may also be composed of multiple distributed devices. Some or all of the functions of the display control device 3 may be realized by a processor executing a predetermined display control program, or may be realized by hardware.

[0021] <First embodiment> First, thumbnail display in the first embodiment will be described. <Example 1> The operation of the display control system according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the display control device 3 displays one or more objects (one in the example of FIG. 3) corresponding to a document having multiple pages on the head mounted display 1. Here, as an example, an object 10 is displayed with its cover visible. As shown in FIG. 3, the display control device 3 displays a virtual controller 2v corresponding to the actual controller 2 in the virtual space displayed on the head mounted display 1. The display control device 3 displays a light ray LB so that the light ray LB is emitted from the virtual controller 2v and the direction of the light ray LB changes according to the direction of the controller 2. Here, the light ray LB is also called a laser, and a pointer P is displayed at the point where the light ray LB hits the object. As a result, the light ray LB and / or the pointer P move according to the movement of the controller 2. It is not necessary to display the virtual controller 2v.

[0023] In addition to the object 10, the display control device 3 may cause the head mounted display 1 to display any object such as an image.

[0024] Then, the display control device 3 moves the light beam (also referred to as a laser) LB in response to the user's first operation on the controller 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the display control device 3 displays thumbnails 11-18 of at least one page included in the material on the head mounted display 1 in response to the user's second operation on the controller 2. At this time, for example, thumbnails 11-17 are displayed around the object 10. The thumbnails 11-17 are, for example, thumbnails of pages 1-7, respectively. The user's second operation here is, for example, pressing the operation button 20 of the controller 2 with the light beam (also referred to as a laser) LB or a pointer aligned with the object 10.

[0025] Next, in response to a third operation by the user on the controller 2, the light beam (also referred to as a laser) LB is moved, and the pointer P is moved onto the thumbnail 17 as shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the display control device 3 displays a page corresponding to the target thumbnail 17 on the head mounted display 1 in response to a fourth operation by the user on the controller 2. Here, the page of the object 10 is turned over, and page 7 corresponding to the thumbnail 17 is displayed. The fourth operation by the user here is, for example, pressing the operation button 20 on the controller 2 with the light beam (laser) LB or the pointer aligned with the target thumbnail 17.

[0026] In this way, when an object (also called a document object) corresponding to a document having multiple pages is displayed on the head mounted display 1, a thumbnail of at least one page contained in the document is displayed by pressing (also called clicking) the operation button 20 while the pointer is positioned on the desired object. Then, by moving the pointer onto a thumbnail and pressing the operation button 20 again, the page of the document corresponding to the thumbnail is displayed.

[0027] It is desirable for the display control device 3 to display the selected thumbnail 17 in a manner different from that of the unselected thumbnails 11 to 16, 18, and 19. In the example of Fig. 6, the selected thumbnail 17 is shown with a spot.

[0028] <Example 2> Next, a display method of the second embodiment in which the thumbnails are displayed in a different manner will be described. As shown in Fig. 7, the display control device 3 displays the thumbnails 21 to 26 while gradually shifting them in the horizontal and / or vertical directions from the back of the object 29. Here, the thumbnails 21 to 26 are displayed while gradually shifting them in the vertical and horizontal directions from the back of the object 29. This allows the thumbnails to be displayed in page order, allowing the user to easily select the thumbnail of a desired page.

[0029] <Example 3> Next, a display method of the third embodiment in which the thumbnails are displayed in a different manner will be described. As shown in Fig. 8, the display control device 3 displays the thumbnails 31 to 39 in a spiral shape around the object 30. This allows the thumbnails to be displayed in page order and for the pages to be advanced or retraced as they are arranged in the depth direction, allowing the user to easily select the thumbnail of a desired page.

[0030] <Example 4> Next, a display method of Example 4 in which the thumbnails are displayed in a different manner will be described. As shown in Fig. 9, the display control device 3 displays the thumbnails 41 to 49 above the object 40. Note that the display control device 3 may display the thumbnails 41 to 49 below the object 40 instead of above it.

[0031] <Example 5> Next, a display method of the fifth embodiment, in which the thumbnails are displayed in a different manner, will be described. As shown in Fig. 10, the display control device 3 displays a plurality of thumbnails 51 at a position different from the object 50 in the depth direction (here, as an example, a position behind the object). Here, as an example, the plurality of thumbnails 51 are arranged in a tiled pattern with intervals between them. Note that the thumbnails may also be displayed in a position in front of the object.

[0032] <Example 6> Next, a display method of Example 6 in which the thumbnail display mode is different will be described. As shown in Fig. 11A and Fig. 11B, the display control device 3 displays thumbnails 61 to 76 so as to surround the user's position in the virtual space of the head mounted display 1 at a position different in the depth direction from the object 60. Here, in Fig. 11A and Fig. 11B, the user's position in the virtual space of the head mounted display is approximately the position of the virtual controller 2v.

[0033] <Example 7> Next, a display method of Example 7 in which the thumbnail display mode is different will be described. In the examples of Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B, the display control device 3 displays the annular rows of thumbnails 81-96 and the annular rows of thumbnails 101-116 spaced apart in the vertical direction. In this way, the display control device 3 of Fig. 1 displays multiple rows of thumbnails (two in the example of Fig. 12A) in the vertical direction, which are displayed so as to surround the user in the virtual space at a position different from the object 80 in the depth direction.

[0034] 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing operation of the display control device 3 according to the first embodiment. The display control device 3 displays an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages and a light ray or a pointer on the head mounted display 1 (step S1). In addition, the display control device 3 moves the light ray or the pointer to a desired object in response to a first operation of the user on the controller 2 (step S2).

[0035] Then, when the operation button 20 of the controller is pressed with the light beam or the pointer aligned with a desired object (YES in step S3), the display control device 3 displays the thumbnail.

[0036] In response to a third operation by the user on the controller 2, the display control device 3 moves the light beam or the pointer to a desired thumbnail (step S5).

[0037] When the operation button 20 of the controller is pressed with the light beam or pointer aligned with a desired thumbnail (YES in step S6), the display control device 3 displays the page corresponding to the desired thumbnail (step S7).

[0038] In this way, by pressing an operation button on the controller with the light ray or pointer aligned with a desired object, the user can display each thumbnail included in the material on the head mounted display 1. Then, by pressing an operation button on the controller with the light ray or pointer aligned with a desired thumbnail, the user can display a page corresponding to the desired thumbnail on the head mounted display 1.

[0039] As described above, the display control method of the first embodiment is a display control method in a head-mounted display, and includes a first step of displaying an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages, and a light ray and / or a pointer on the head-mounted display, a second step of moving the light ray and / or the pointer to a desired object in response to a first user operation on a controller, and a third step of displaying a thumbnail of at least one page included in the document on the head-mounted display in response to a second user operation on the controller.

[0040] Similarly, the display control device of the first embodiment is a display control device in a head-mounted display 1, and comprises a first means for displaying an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages, a light ray and / or a pointer on the head-mounted display 1, a second means for moving the light ray and / or the pointer to a desired object in response to a first user operation on a controller 2, and a third means for displaying a thumbnail of at least one page included in the document on the head-mounted display in response to a second user operation on the controller 2.

[0041] With this configuration, a thumbnail of at least one page included in the document can be displayed, and the user can grasp the outline of each page included in the document from the thumbnail, so that the user can quickly reach the page that he or she wants to view. This improves the convenience of the user when viewing a document having multiple pages using a head mounted display.

[0042] The display control method of the first embodiment further includes a fourth step of moving the light beam and / or the pointer to a desired thumbnail in response to a third operation of a user on the controller, and a fifth step of displaying a page corresponding to the desired thumbnail on the head-mounted display in response to a fourth operation of a user on the controller.

[0043] With this configuration, a page corresponding to a desired thumbnail can be displayed on the head mounted display 1, so that the user can quickly display the desired page. This improves the convenience for the user when viewing a document having multiple pages using the head mounted display.

[0044] <Second embodiment> Next, page turning in the second embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 14, when the time during which the operation button 20 is pressed with the light ray LB or the pointer P hitting the object 120 exceeds a set time, the display control device 3 displays the page (here, page 1) next to the page (cover here) of the object 120 as shown in object 121. Next, when the time during which the operation button 20 is pressed with the light ray LB or the pointer P hitting the object 120 exceeds a set time, the display control device 3 displays the page (here, page 2) next to the page (here, page 1) of the object 120 as shown in object 122.

[0045] 15 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing operation of the display control device 3 according to the second embodiment. First, the display control device 3 causes the head mounted display 1 to display an object 120 corresponding to a document having multiple pages, a light ray LB, and / or a pointer P (step S11).

[0046] If the light ray LB and / or the pointer P is hitting the object 120 (YES in step S12), the display control device 3 counts up the duration that the operation button 20 is pressed while the light ray or the pointer is hitting the object 120 (step S13).

[0047] If the duration that the button is pressed while the laser is hitting the object exceeds the set time (YES in step S14), the display control device 3 causes the next page of the object 120 to be displayed on the head mounted display 1. Then, the display control device 3 resets the duration.

[0048] If it is not the last page of the object 120 (NO in step S17), the process returns to step S12 and repeats the processes in steps S12 to S16. On the other hand, if it is the last page of the object 120 (NO in step S17), the process ends.

[0049] In this way, by pressing and holding the operation button 20 for a period of time exceeding the set time, it is possible to display the next page of the object displayed on the head mounted display 1. Note that the next page may be displayed by a specific operation of the button (e.g., double clicking, etc.) other than the long press of the operation button 20, or by a specific operation of the user on the controller 2 (e.g., pressing the operation button 20 with the light beam hitting the object and then sliding the light beam, for example, to the right).

[0050] In this embodiment, the display of the next page has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Another operation button may be provided on the controller 2, and the previous page may be displayed by a specific operation of the other operation button (for example, pressing and holding the other operation button for longer than a set time, or double-clicking, etc.), or the previous page may be displayed by a specific operation of the user on the controller 2 (for example, pressing the other operation button when the light beam hits an object and then sliding the light beam, for example, to the left).

[0051] As described above, the display control method of the second embodiment is a display control method in a head-mounted display, and includes a first step of displaying an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages and a light beam and / or a pointer on the head-mounted display 1, a second step of moving the light beam and / or the pointer to a desired object in response to a first user operation on the controller 2, and a third step of transitioning the page of the object displayed on the head-mounted display 1 in response to a second user operation on the controller 2 (here, as an example, a long press of the operation button 20).

[0052] The display control device 3 of the second embodiment is a display control device in a head-mounted display, and includes a first means for displaying an object corresponding to a document having multiple pages, a light beam and / or a pointer on the head-mounted display, a second means for moving the light beam and / or the pointer to a desired object in response to a first operation by the user on the controller 2, and a third means for transitioning the page of the object displayed on the head-mounted display 1 in response to a second operation by the user on the controller 2 (here, as an example, a long press of the operation button 20).

[0053] With this configuration, the user can transition between pages of an object (turn a page) simply by performing the second operation, thereby improving user convenience when viewing documents having multiple pages using a head-mounted display.

[0054] In each of the above-described embodiments, the display control device 3 is externally connected to the head mounted display 1. However, the display control device 3 may be built into the head mounted display 1.

[0055] The above-described embodiments have been described for the purpose of enabling a person having ordinary skill in the art to practice the present invention. Various modifications of the above-described embodiments are naturally possible for a person skilled in the art, and the technical idea of ​​the present invention can be applied to other embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but should be accorded the broadest scope in accordance with the technical idea defined by the claims.
