Abstract
An apparatus includes a user wearable viewing device for assisting the user to view a representation of three dimensional content. The user wearable viewing device is assigned a unique identifier to provide a private viewing experience for the user.
Claims27
A user wearable viewing device comprising:
- one or more lenses for assisting the user to view a representation of three dimensional content, wherein the user wearable viewing device is assigned an assigned unique identifier to provide a private viewing experience for the user;
- a receiver configured to receive a control signal, the control signal including a unique identifier and a command signal, wherein the command signal is configured to directly cause a state of the one or more lenses to change;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect whether the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier;
- and
- perform a command corresponding to the command signal to change a state of the one or more lenses when the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier, the change in the state allowing viewing of the private viewing experience through the one or more lenses, wherein an additional change in state of the one or more lenses occurs only when an additional command signal is received and when a unique identifier associated with the additional command signal matches the assigned unique identifier.
4 more elements
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining an assigned unique identifier assigned to a user wearable viewing device that assists the user in viewing a representation of three dimensional content, wherein the assigned unique identifier is capable of being used to provide a private viewing experience for the user;
- receiving a control signal, the control signal including a unique identifier and a command signal, wherein the command signal is configured to directly cause a state of the user wearable viewing device to change;
- detecting whether the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier;
- and
- performing a command corresponding to the command signal to change a state of the user wearable viewing device when the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier, the change in the state allowing viewing of the private viewing experience through the user wearable viewing device, wherein an additional change in state of the user wearable viewing device occurs only when an additional command signal is received and when a unique identifier associated with the additional command signal matches the assigned unique identifier.
2 more elements
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory information carrier and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method comprising:
- obtaining an assigned unique identifier assigned to a user wearable viewing device that assists the user in viewing a representation of three dimensional content, wherein the assigned unique identifier is capable of being used to provide a private viewing experience for the user;
- receiving a control signal, the control signal including a unique identifier and a command signal, wherein the command signal is configured to directly cause a state of the user wearable viewing device to change;
- detecting whether the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier;
- and
- performing a command corresponding to the command signal to change a state of the user wearable viewing device when the assigned unique identifier matches the received unique identifier, the change in the state allowing viewing of the private viewing experience through the user wearable viewing device, wherein an additional change in state of the user wearable viewing device occurs only when an additional command signal is received and when a unique identifier associated with the additional command signal matches the assigned unique identifier.
