Abstract
A device and a method for recommending a custom function in an electronic device to a user is provided. The electronic device obtains a user gesture that repeatedly occur through interaction with the user and determines one or more customized functions to be suggested to the user among a plurality of accessibility functions considering the user gesture. The electronic device may execute a target customized function selected by the user from among the one or more customized functions.
Claims20
An augmented reality device, comprising:
- a lens unit comprising a reflective surface configured to transmit light of a first wavelength and to reflect light of a second wavelength;
- a support configured to mount the augmented reality device on a head of a user;
- a light emitter disposed at the support, the light emitter configured to generate first light of the first wavelength and second light of the second wavelength;
- a light receiver disposed at the support, the light receiver configured to:
- obtain third light corresponding to the first light and output an object image signal based on the third light, and
- obtain fourth light corresponding to the second light and output an eye image signal based on the fourth light,
- wherein the reflective surface or a left eye lens of the lens unit is printed with a marker which transmits the second wavelength,
- wherein the third light corresponds to the first light reflected from an object positioned in front of the augmented reality device, transmitted through the reflective surface, and received at the light receiver, and
- wherein the fourth light corresponds to the second light reflected from an eye of the user and then reflected by a portion of the reflective surface excluding the marker before being received at the light receiver.
A method for performing a multi-modal interaction in an augmented reality device, the method comprising:
- emitting first light of a first wavelength in front of the augmented reality device through a lens;
- emitting second light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength toward an eye of a user wearing the augmented reality device;
- receiving reflected light comprising third light of the first wavelength reflected from an object in front of the augmented reality device, and fourth light of the second wavelength reflected from the eye;
- obtaining an object image by separating the third light from the reflected light;
- obtaining an eye image by separating the fourth light from the reflected light;
- and
- performing an interaction with a user based on the obtained object image or the obtained eye image;
- wherein the first light and the second light are emitted towards a marker and disposed at a reflective surface of the lens, the marker being configured to allow transmission of the second reflected light,
- wherein the third light corresponds to the first light reflected from the object, transmitted through the reflective surface, and received at a light receiver, and
- wherein the fourth light corresponds to the second light reflected from the eye of the user and then reflected by a portion of the reflective surface excluding the marker before being received at the light receiver.
