Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a display of an electronic device. One or more reference points are detected at a touch panel of the electronic device. Screen display positions for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) mode are determined based on positions of the one or more reference points. Screens in the HMD mode are displayed at the screen display positions.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch panel configured to detect one or more reference points;
- a processor configured to determine screen display positions for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) mode based on positions of the one or more reference points;
- and
- a display unit configured to display screens in the HMD mode at the screen display positions.
A wearable device comprising:
- a cover having a front surface to which a display device is mounted;
- a support configured to attach the wearable device to a head of a user;
- lens units disposed on portions of the front surface corresponding to left and right eyes of the user;
- and
- one or more conductive parts disposed on the front surface for contact with the display device.
A method of controlling a display of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting one or more reference points at a touch panel of the electronic device;
- determining screen display positions for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) mode based on positions of the one or more reference points;
- and
- displaying screens in the HMD mode at the screen display positions.
A computer-readable recording medium for recording a program to be performed on a computer, the program comprising a command executable to perform the process of:
- determining, by a processor, screen display positions for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) mode based on one or more reference points detected by a touch panel of an electronic device, when the program is executed by the processor;
- and
- providing a command to display screens in the HMD mode at the screen display positions.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch panel configured to detect one or more reference points using one or more conductive parts, which the touch patent contacts when the electronic device is mounted on a wearable device;
- a processor configured to determine first and second screen display positions, corresponding to positions of first and second lens units of the wearable device, based on positions of the one or more reference points;
- and
- a display unit configured to display first and second screens at the first and second screen display positions.
