Abstract
The following embodiments relate to a method of controlling an electronic device to implement virtual smoke in a virtual display device. The method of controlling an electronic device according to an embodiment includes predicting a virtual smoke implementation timepoint based on a smoking pattern learned using a pressure sensor and a button included in the electronic device; adjusting a volume and concentration of virtual smoke based on the learned smoking pattern; and transmitting a control signal including the virtual smoke implementation timepoint and the volume and concentration of virtual smoke to a device for displaying a virtual image.
Claims11
A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- predicting a virtual smoke implementation timepoint based on a smoking pattern learned using a pressure sensor and a button included in the electronic device;
- adjusting a volume and concentration of virtual smoke based on the learned smoking pattern;
- and
- transmitting a control signal comprising the virtual smoke implementation timepoint and the volume and concentration of virtual smoke to a device for displaying a virtual image,
- wherein the predicting of the virtual smoke implementation timepoint comprises:
- detecting a first timepoint at which a pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is measured exceeding a first threshold value;
- detecting a second timepoint at which the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is measured within a second threshold value;
- and
- detecting a third timepoint at which the button of the electronic device operates, after the second timepoint.
An electronic device comprising:
- a processor configured to predict a virtual smoke implementation timepoint based on a smoking pattern learned using a pressure sensor and a button included in the electronic device, adjust a volume and concentration of virtual smoke based on the learned smoking pattern, and transmit a control signal comprising the virtual smoke implementation timepoint and the volume and concentration of virtual smoke to a device for displaying a virtual image,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- detect a first timepoint at which a pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is measured exceeding a first threshold value;
- detect a second timepoint at which the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is measured within a second threshold value;
- and
- detect a third timepoint at which the button of the electronic device operates, after the second timepoint.
