[0084] FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of a wearable electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0085] Referring to FIG. 4, according to one embodiment, a wearable electronic device (401) may include a memory (410) (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 1), a processor (420) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1), a first sensor (430) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1), a second sensor (440) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1), and a display (460) (e.g., the display (160) of FIG. 1).

[0086] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (401) may be implemented in a manner identical to or similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the wearable electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, and the wearable electronic device (300) of FIGS. 3A and 3B. According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (401) may be implemented as an augmented reality (AR) glass, an extended reality (XR) device, a mixed reality (MR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, or a video see-through (VST) device. However, this is merely an example, and embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as various devices.

[0087] According to one embodiment, the memory (410) may store at least one instruction that causes at least one operation of the wearable electronic device (401).

[0088] Conventional wearable electronic devices can display augmented reality images corresponding to images at the same size and location, even if the resolution of the images stored in the wearable electronic device and the objects (e.g., landscapes, people, text) included in the images are different from each other. For example, the same location may refer to a specific location supported by the wearable electronic device. In other words, conventional wearable electronic devices could display augmented reality images at a location designated by the wearable electronic device even when the images were displayed in a three-dimensional space. Accordingly, conventional wearable electronic devices could not realistically provide the user with the three-dimensional effect of the augmented reality images, even when the images were displayed in a three-dimensional space.

[0089] A wearable electronic device (401) according to one embodiment can determine a three-dimensional virtual area in which an augmented reality image will be displayed. That is, when displaying an augmented reality image in a three-dimensional space, the wearable electronic device (401) according to one embodiment can display an augmented reality image corresponding to the content at various locations by considering the characteristics of the content. Through this, the wearable electronic device (401) according to one embodiment can realistically provide a three-dimensional effect of the augmented reality image to the user when displaying the augmented reality image in a three-dimensional space.

[0090] According to one embodiment, when the resolution of images stored in the memory (410) and the objects included in the images are different from each other, the positions and sizes at which augmented reality images corresponding to the images are displayed in a three-dimensional virtual area may be different from each other. At this time, the wearable electronic device (401) according to one embodiment may determine a z-depth indicating a distance between the augmented reality image and the wearable electronic device (401) based on a first axis direction (511) (e.g., the first axis direction (511) of FIG. 5A) and a second axis direction (512) (e.g., the second axis direction (513) of FIG. 5A) and a third axis direction (513) (e.g., the third axis direction (513) of FIG. 5A) that are orthogonal to each other in the virtual area, based on the resolution of the images and the objects included in the images. According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (401) can provide the user with an effect in which the augmented reality image is displayed in a three-dimensional space by determining a position in the z-axis direction in a virtual area based on the z-depth and displaying the augmented reality image.

[0091] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may identify a region of a three-dimensional space using the second sensor (440) or the camera. For example, the region of the three-dimensional space may include a user's field of view (e.g., a user's FOV (field of view) region) or a camera's FOV (field of view) region. According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may render (or model) the identified region of the three-dimensional space. Thereafter, according to one embodiment, the processor (420) may obtain a position of the wearable electronic device (401) in the region of the rendered three-dimensional space and determine a first axis direction (511), a second axis direction (513), and a third axis direction (513).

[0092] In one embodiment, the processor (420) can determine that the wearable electronic device (401) is worn by the user. In one embodiment, the processor (420) can determine a user input to display a first augmented reality image corresponding to the first image stored in the memory (410) through the display (460).

[0093] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may obtain a first sensing value indicating an angle at which the wearable electronic device (401) is tilted through the first sensor (430). For example, the first sensor (430) may be implemented as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a gravity sensor (or a geomagnetic sensor).

[0094] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) can identify the gaze of a user wearing the wearable electronic device (401) through the second sensor (440). For example, the second sensor (440) can be implemented as a sensor that can identify the gaze by identifying the eyes (e.g., pupil, iris) of the user wearing the wearable electronic device (401). Alternatively, according to one embodiment, the processor (420) can identify the gaze of a user wearing the wearable electronic device (401) by using a gaze tracking camera (e.g., the first camera module (251) of FIG. 2, the face recognition camera modules (325, 326) of FIG. 3).

[0095] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may determine (or confirm) a virtual first area (501) (e.g., 501 of FIG. 5A) corresponding to a three-dimensional space to be displayed as at least one augmented reality image corresponding to at least one image stored in the memory (410) based on the first sensing value and the user's line of sight. For example, the processor (420) may determine a virtual first area (501) corresponding to a user's field of view (e.g., a user's field of view (FOV) area) within a three-dimensional space identified by a camera included in the wearable electronic device (401) or the user's field of view. For example, the virtual first area (501) may be at least a portion of a three-dimensional space identified by a camera included in the wearable electronic device (401) or the user's field of view. For example, the at least one image may include an image captured by the wearable electronic device (401) or acquired from an external electronic device.

[0096] For convenience of explanation, the following description will focus on the operation of the processor (420) displaying a first augmented reality image corresponding to a first image stored in the memory (410). However, the present invention may not be limited thereto. For example, the processor (420) may display multiple augmented reality images corresponding to multiple images at the same or different locations in the first area.

[0097] For example, the virtual first region (501) may include regions based on a first axis direction (511) (e.g., the first axis direction (511) of FIG. 5A), a second axis direction (512) (e.g., the second axis direction (512) of FIG. 5A), and a third axis direction (513) (e.g., the third axis direction (513) of FIG. 5A) that are orthogonal to each other. For example, the virtual first region (501) may include a region inside a rectangular parallelepiped. Depending on the implementation, according to one embodiment, the virtual first region (501) may include a region inside a cube, or a region inside a cylinder. However, this is an example, and the virtual first region (501) of embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as a region of various shapes having a three-dimensional space.

[0098] For convenience of explanation, the following description will assume that the first region is a three-dimensional space in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. However, the technical concept of the present invention may not be limited thereto.

[0099] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may analyze the first image. For example, the processor (420) may analyze or confirm the resolution of the first image. In addition, the processor (420) may analyze the screen or scene of the first image. For example, the processor (420) may identify at least one object included in the first image and analyze the screen or scene of the first image based on the identified at least one object. For example, the at least one object may include a person, text, the sky, or scenery (e.g., trees, flowers, grass, mountains, sea). For example, if the processor (420) determines that the first image includes people, the processor (420) may determine that the first image is a photograph of a person. Alternatively, if the processor (420) determines that the first image includes a plurality of texts, the processor (420) may determine that the first image is a photograph of a document. Alternatively, if the processor (420) determines that the first image includes a scene of a landscape or nature, the processor (420) may determine that the first image is a photograph of a landscape. For example, the processor (420) may check at least one of the height of a person included in the first image, the size of the person's face, or the distance between at least one object included in the first image and the wearable electronic device (401). For example, the processor (420) may use an artificial intelligence model stored in the memory (410) or an external server when analyzing the first image.

[0100] According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may identify at least one object included in the first image based on metadata of the first image. According to one embodiment, when the first image is captured, the processor (420) may analyze at least one object included in the first image to obtain information about the at least one object. The processor (420) may store the information about the at least one object as metadata of the first image. For example, when the first image is captured, the processor (420) may use an artificial intelligence model to identify that the object included in the first image is an American Shorthair cat. The processor (420) may store in the metadata of the first image that the object included in the first image is an American Shorthair cat.

For example, the first axis direction (511) may represent a left-right direction (e.g., an x-axis direction) with respect to the wearable electronic device (401). For example, the second axis direction (512) may represent an up-down direction (e.g., y-axis direction) with respect to the wearable electronic device (401). For example, the third axis direction (513) may represent a front-back direction (e.g., z-axis direction) with respect to the wearable electronic device (401).

According to one embodiment, a lookup table indicating a relationship between the resolution of the image and the distance between the augmented reality image and the wearable electronic device (401) may be stored in the memory (410). For example, the processor (420) may determine the second location using the lookup table. According to one embodiment, the processor (420) may determine the second position in the virtual first area (501) such that the distance between the first augmented reality image and the wearable electronic device (401) based on the third axis direction (513) increases as the resolution of the first image increases.
