Abstract
A method of providing a graphical output may include scanning at least a portion of a user's face using a sensor; generating a depth map using the scan; and determining a similarity score between the depth map and a set of stored biometric identity maps that are associated with a registered user. In response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold, the user may be authenticated as the registered user. The method may further determine a corrective eyewear scenario, select a display profile that is associated with the corrective eyewear scenario, and generate a graphical output in accordance with the selected display profile.
Claims20
A method of controlling a vision-correcting operation of a portable electronic device, the method comprising:
- scanning at least a portion of a face of a user using a sensor;
- generating a depth map using the scan conducted using the sensor;
- determining a similarity score between the depth map and one or more biometric identity maps of a set of stored biometric identity maps that are associated with a registered user;
- in response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold, authenticating the user as the registered user;
- determining a corrective eyewear scenario using the depth map;
- selecting a display profile that is associated with the corrective eyewear scenario and the registered user;
- and
- generating a graphical output in accordance with the selected display profile.
A method of providing a graphical output for an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a set of graphical objects, each one of the set of graphical objects produced using a different level of vision correction;
- receiving a user selection of a graphical object of the set of graphical objects;
- in response to the user selection, identifying a display profile that is associated with the selected graphical object;
- generating the graphical output in accordance with the display profile;
- scanning at least a portion of a face of a user using a sensor;
- generating a depth map using the scan;
- and
- storing the depth map and associating the depth map with the display profile.
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
- a display positioned at least partially within the housing and configured to display a graphical output;
- a transparent cover positioned at least partially over the display;
- an optical sensor positioned below the transparent cover and configured to obtain a scan of a portion of a face of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- generate a depth map using the scan;
- determine a similarity score between the depth map and one or more identity maps of a set of stored biometric identity maps that are associated with a registered user;
- in response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold, identify the user as the registered user;
- determine a corrective eyewear scenario using the depth map;
- select a display profile that is associated with the corrective eyewear scenario;
- and
- generate a graphical output in accordance with the selected display profile.
