HMD Notification Display via Edge Region Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Head-mounted display (HMD) devices struggle to maintain user immersion when interworking with mobile terminals, as push notifications can disrupt the viewing experience by being displayed on the HMD without consideration for the content being viewed.
Innovation Solution
The HMD device is designed to selectively display event notifications based on the type and execution state of the content, allowing users to quickly check and manage notifications without disturbing their immersion, using techniques such as edge-region storage and touch-input controls to minimize disruption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If push notifications are displayed on the HMD when interworked with a mobile terminal, then event information can be conveyed to the user, but the user's immersion in the content is disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The notification is displayed in a specific local region (edge region) of the display screen rather than across the entire display area. This localized display approach conveys event information while minimizing disruption to the user's viewing experience and immersion in the content.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen is divided into different regions, with the edge region specifically allocated for notifications. This segmentation allows event information to be conveyed separately from the main content, enabling users to perceive notifications without being disturbed from their immersion in the primary content being viewed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If event notifications are limitedly displayed on the HMD, then user immersion is maintained, but the user cannot rapidly check event occurrences
Solution Approach 1:
The notification is pre-positioned in the edge region of the display screen, making it immediately visible and accessible to the user without requiring additional actions or time to locate. This preliminary positioning allows users to rapidly check event occurrences while maintaining immersion in the content.
3Loss of information
If notifications are displayed without selective control, then all events are conveyed to the user, but the HMD's characteristic features are not reflected and the user experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The notification display is dynamically controlled based on the type and execution state of the content being viewed. The controller selectively determines whether to display notifications in the edge region according to content characteristics, reflecting the HMD's adaptive capabilities and enhancing user experience by providing context-appropriate information delivery.

AI summary
A head mounted display (HMD) device(200) including a communication processor configured to communicate with a mobile terminal(100); a display(251) configured to display a content received from the mobile terminal(100); and a controller configured to in response to an event generated on the mobile terminal(100), selectively display an object on the display(251) corresponding to the event generated on the mobile terminal(100), based on a type of the displayed content.
