Head-Mounted Display Content Loading via Preliminary Action
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Head-mounted displays experience long loading times when users switch to new application programs, leading to poor user experience due to extended periods of waiting without interaction.
Innovation Solution
A content loading method and system for head-mounted displays that involves selecting and transmitting a first multimedia content corresponding to the new application program, allowing for immediate display on the screen while the main application loads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the head-mounted display loads a new application program, then the application function is improved, but the loading time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-loading and preparing display content related to the new application program before the user actually needs to switch applications. The system anticipates the user's switching intent and prepares the display content in advance, so when the user switches applications, the content is already ready for immediate display, significantly reducing the perceived loading time and improving user experience.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display screen waits for application program loading, then the content accuracy is improved, but the user interaction time is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by maintaining display content updates during the application loading process. Instead of leaving the display screen blank or showing loading indicators while the application loads, the system continuously updates the display with relevant content (such as preview images, thumbnails, or related information) throughout the loading process. This keeps the display useful and engaging, allowing users to interact with the system without experiencing unnecessary waiting periods.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the head-mounted display shows a blank screen during loading, then the energy consumption is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary element - a content preparation and display system - that mediates between the application loading process and the display output. Instead of showing a blank screen during loading, the intermediary system provides transitional content (such as related content previews, loading animations with useful information, or cached content) that bridges the gap between the current state and the new application, maintaining user engagement and improving experience without significantly increasing energy consumption.

AI summary
A head-mounted display, content loading method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium thereof are provided. The head-mounted display selects a first multimedia content from a plurality of multimedia contents in response to receiving a switching signal, and the switching signal is generated based on determining that a user chooses to execute a new application program, and a playing content of the first multimedia content corresponds to the new application program. The head-mounted display transmits the first multimedia content to a display to play the first multimedia content on a plurality of pixels of a display screen.
