Display of information related to audio content based on ambient lighting conditions

A method, comprising:

• in a head-mounted device that comprises a transparent display, a first image capturing device, and circuitry:
• capturing, by the first image capturing device, an image of a scene in a line-of-sight (LOS) of a wearer of the head-mounted device;
• receiving, by the circuitry, an audio segment that corresponds to audio content;
• partitioning, by the circuitry, the captured image into a plurality of image regions;
• determining, by the circuitry, a level of each image characteristic from a plurality of image characteristics of a background portion and a foreground portion of each of the plurality of image regions of the captured image, wherein
• the plurality of image characteristics corresponds to ambient lighting conditions, and
• the plurality of image characteristics includes a brightness level of each of the plurality of image regions;
• comparing, by the circuitry, the brightness level between the plurality of image regions;
• determining, by the circuitry, a first image region of the plurality of image regions based on a result of the comparison of the brightness level between the plurality of image regions;
• determining, by the circuitry, a first region on a display portion of the transparent display for display of text information associated with the received audio segment, based on the determined level of each image characteristic from the plurality of image characteristics, wherein
• the first region corresponds to the first image region of the plurality of image regions, and
• the brightness level of the first image region is maximum among the brightness level of each of the plurality of image regions;
• determining, by the circuitry, a level of each display characteristic from a set of display characteristics for the text information based on the determined first region and the determined level of each image characteristic from the plurality of image characteristics;
• and
• controlling, by the circuitry, the display of the text information in the determined first region of the display portion of the transparent display, based on the determined level of each display characteristic from the set of display characteristics.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a head-mounted device that comprises a transparent display and an image capturing device, cause the head-mounted device to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• capturing, by the image capturing device, an image of a scene in a line-of-sight (LOS) of a wearer of the head-mounted device;
• receiving an audio segment that corresponds to audio content;
• partitioning the captured image into a plurality of image regions;
• determining a level of each image characteristic from a plurality of image characteristics of a background portion and a foreground portion for each of the plurality of image regions of the captured image, wherein
• the plurality of image characteristics corresponds to ambient lighting conditions, and
• the plurality of image characteristics includes a brightness level of each of the plurality of image regions;
• comparing the brightness level between the plurality of image regions;
• determining a first image region of the plurality of image regions based on a result of the comparison of the brightness level between the plurality of image regions;
• determining a first region on a display portion of the transparent display for display of text information associated with the received audio segment, based on the determined level of each image characteristic from the plurality of image characteristics, wherein
• the first region corresponds to the first image region of the plurality of image regions, and
• the brightness level of the first image region is maximum among the brightness level of each of the plurality of image regions;
• determining a level of each display characteristic from a set of display characteristics for the text information based on the determined first region and the determined level of each image characteristic from the plurality of image characteristics;
• and
• controlling the display of the text information in the determined first region of the display portion of the transparent display, based on the determined level of each display characteristic from the set of display characteristics.
