Abstract
A system for using a mobile communication terminal as a pointer and a method and medium thereof are disclosed, in which information displayed on a head mounted display (HMD) can be controlled by using the mobile communication terminal as the pointer. The system includes a head mounted display device receiving an input of an image of a background having a marker, and the mobile communication terminal searching for the position of the marker by detecting the marker from the image of the background having the marker transmitted from the head mounted display device, and providing the pointer to the searched position. The head mounted display device displays the pointer provided by the mobile communication terminal.
Claims26
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a controller to output a marker of a specified form on a screen;
- a communicator to receive an image of a background that includes the marker from a head mounted display;
- and
- a position detector to detect the position of the marker by detecting the marker from the received image.
A head mounted display device comprising:
- an image input unit to receive an image of a background that includes a marker;
- a communicator to transmit the image of the background that includes the marker to a mobile communication device;
- and
- a display to display a pointer provided by the mobile communication device.
A system for using a mobile communication device as a pointer, comprising:
- a head mounted display device to receive an input of an image of a background that includes a marker,
- wherein the mobile communication device searches for a position of the marker by detecting the marker from the image of the background including the marker that is transmitted from the head mounted display device, and providing the pointer to the searched position, and
- wherein the head mounted display device displays the pointer provided by the mobile communication device.
A method of using a mobile communication device as a pointer, comprising:
- receiving an image of a background including a marker from a head mounted display device;
- searching for a position of the marker by detecting the marker from the received image;
- and
- displaying the pointer on the position of the searched marker.
A method of displaying a pointer on a head mounted display device, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of a background including a marker displayed on a mobile communication device;
- detecting a position of the marker displayed on the mobile communication device;
- and
- displaying a pointer on a screen of the head mounted display device, wherein the displaying of the pointer is based on the detected position of the marker.
