Display system, display method, and program

A display system, comprising:

• a head-mounted display device to be mounted on a head of a user, the head-mounted display device including a first display unit;
• and
• a control device to be coupled to the head-mounted display device, the control device including a second display unit and a touch sensor arranged in an overlapping manner with the second display unit, wherein
• the display system includes a plurality of display modes including a first display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are common and a second display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are different from each other,
• as operation states of the display system, a first state, a second state and a third state are executable, the first state being a state in which at least any one of display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit is stopped, the second state being a state of requesting a specific operation, and the third state being a state in which an application is executable, and
• when a specific transition is made between the operation states of the display system, the first display unit and the second display unit are in the first display mode.

A display method performed by a display device including a first display unit and a control device to be coupled to the display device, the control device including a second display unit and a touch sensor arranged in an overlapping manner with the second display unit, the display method comprising:

• executing a plurality of display modes including a first display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are common and a second display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are different from each other;
• performing transition between a first state, a second state, and a third state, the first state being a state in which at least any one of display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit is stopped, the second state being a state of requesting a specific operation, and the third state being a state in which an application is executable;
• and
• causing the first display unit and the second display unit to be in the first display mode by specific transition from the first state, the second state, or the third state to another state.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for controlling a control device being coupled to a display device including a first display unit, the control device including a second display unit and a touch sensor arranged in an overlapping manner with the second display unit, the program being configured to:

• switch between a plurality of display modes including a first display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are common and a second display mode in which display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit are different from each other;
• execute switching between a first state, a second state, and a third state, the first state being a state in which at least any one of display on the first display unit and display on the second display unit is stopped, the second state being a state of requesting a specific operation, and the third state being a state in which an application is executable;
• and
• cause the first display unit and the second display unit to be in the first display mode, by specific transition from the first state, the second state, or the third state to another state.
