Headset Bluetooth Multipoint Relay for Head-Mounted Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users wearing head-mounted devices such as VR or AR headsets often miss important notifications on their mobile phones due to their focus on the device's display, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that utilizes a headset device communicating with a user terminal and head-mounted device via Bluetooth multi-point connection to relay and display important information, such as incoming call notifications, on the head-mounted device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users wear head-mounted devices and focus on the display screen, then immersion experience is improved, but important notifications on mobile phone are missed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a headset device as an intermediary between the mobile phone and the head-mounted device. The headset receives notification information from the mobile phone via Bluetooth and transmits it to the head-mounted device's display screen, serving as a mediator that bridges the information gap when users are immersed in VR/AR content and cannot see their phones.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent moves the notification display from the traditional two-dimensional mobile phone screen to the head-mounted device's display dimension, which is positioned directly in the user's visual field. This dimensional transition allows notifications to be viewed without breaking immersion, as the information appears within the virtual reality environment itself.
2Loss of information
If users constantly check mobile phone for notifications, then important events are not missed, but immersion experience and usage convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic notification forwarding where the headset device autonomously receives notifications from the mobile phone and pushes them to the head-mounted device without requiring user intervention. Users simply need to wear the headset, and the system handles the entire information transfer process automatically, eliminating the need for manual checking of the phone.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where user interactions with notifications on the head-mounted device (such as tapping or long-pressing) are transmitted back to the mobile phone. This allows users to respond to notifications directly through the headset, creating a closed-loop feedback system that enhances convenience while maintaining full notification awareness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth multi-point connection is used to relay information, then notification display capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The headset device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as an audio output device and as an information relay station. By integrating notification forwarding capabilities into the existing headset, the patent avoids adding separate dedicated devices, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatile information display capabilities.

AI summary
Disclosed are an information display method and a computer-readable storage medium. The method is applied to a headset device, the headset device communicates with a user terminal and a head-mounted device respectively through a Bluetooth multi-point connection function, and the method includes: receiving information to be displayed sent by the user terminal, where the information to be displayed is generated by the user terminal when it detects that information needs to be displayed in the headset device and is sent to the headset device; and sending the information to be displayed to the head-mounted device, to make the head-mounted device output and display the information to be displayed.
