Dual-Screen Wearable Display Control for Multi-User Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices such as VR, AR, and MR devices provide limited interaction between users, resulting in simplistic and unengaging experiences due to their single-person use nature.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method and apparatus that allows a second user to control a wearable device's inner display screen via a handle, enabling real-time interaction with a first user by selecting and displaying target information based on inputs from the second user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a wearable device is designed for single-person use to provide immersive experience, then the immersion quality is improved, but the interactivity between users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an outer display screen as an intermediary that enables communication between the wearer (first user) and non-wearer (second user). The outer display screen displays information that can be controlled by the second user through a handle, while the inner display screen maintains the immersive virtual reality experience for the first user. This intermediary display system resolves the contradiction by enabling user interaction without compromising individual immersion.
2Adaptability or versatility
If control functions are added to enable multi-user interaction, then the interactivity is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display system into two independent display screens (inner and outer), each serving distinct functions. The inner display screen provides immersive content for the wearer, while the outer display screen handles interaction with non-wearers. This segmentation allows control functions to be added for multi-user interaction without significantly increasing overall device complexity, as each display module can be independently controlled and managed.

AI summary
A display control method, a display control apparatus, and an electronic device are provided. The display control method includes: receiving a first control message sent by a second handle; and when the first control message indicates that target information is selected from at least two pieces of first information displayed on an outer display screen of a wearable device, displaying the target information on an inner display screen of the wearable device. The first control message is a control message sent by the second handle when the second handle receives a first input performed by a second user, a wearer of the wearable device is a first user, and the second handle is a handle controlled by the second user.
