Abstract
A glasses-type information device includes a first speaker function configured to transmit sound to a user wearing the glasses-type information device, a second speaker function configured to transmit sound to a surrounding area of the glasses-type information device, and a notification function including at least any of a vibration function and a function of turning on a lamp. When temples of the glasses-type information device are folded and the glasses-type information device is not worn by the user, the first speaker function is disabled and output processing is performed using at least any of the second speaker function and the notification function for an application installed on the glasses-type information device.
Claims17
An information device wearable in a vicinity of user's own eyes and, when worn, providing virtual display within a field of view of the user and having a notification function including at least one of a vibration function and a function of turning on a lamp, comprising:
- at least one speaker, wherein the at least one speaker is configured to provide a first speaker function configured to transmit sound to the user wearing the information device and a second speaker function configured to transmit sound to a surrounding area of the information device;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor executing the instructions causing the information device to:
- detect whether the information device is worn by the user or not;
- and
- execute, in a case of detecting that the information device is worn by the user, as an output according to an application installed in the information device, outputting using the first speaker function without using the second speaker function and the notification function.
A method for an information device wearable in a vicinity of user's own eyes and, when worn, providing virtual display within a field of view of the user, wherein the information device has a first speaker function configured to transmit sound to the user wearing the information device, a second speaker function configured to transmit sound to a surrounding area of the information device and a notification function including at least one of a vibration function and a function of turning on a lamp, the method comprising:
- detecting whether the information device is worn by the user or not;
- and
- executing, in a case of detecting that the information device is worn by the user, as an output according to an application installed in the information device, outputting using the first speaker function without using the second speaker function and the notification function.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which a computer program is stored, the computer program causing a computer to execute a method for an information device wearable in a vicinity of user's own eyes and, when worn, providing virtual display within a field of view of the user, wherein the information device has a first speaker function configured to transmit sound to the user wearing the information device, a second speaker function configured to transmit sound to a surrounding area of the information device and a notification function including at least one of a vibration function and a function of turning on a lamp, the method comprising:
- detecting whether the information device is worn by the user or not;
- and
- executing, in a case of detecting that the information device is worn by the user, as an output according to an application installed in the information device, outputting using the first speaker function without using the second speaker function and the notification function.
