Abstract
The present specification relates to a mobile device, a head mounted display (HMD) paired with the mobile device and a method of controlling therefor, and more particularly, to a method of providing a notification for an occurrence of an event from at least one of the mobile device and the HMD based on a position of the mobile device for the HMD.
Claims20
A mobile device, comprising:
- a display unit configured to display content;
- a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data;
- a camera unit configured to capture an image in a front direction;
- and
- a processor configured to control the display unit, the communication unit, and the camera unit,
- wherein when the mobile device is paired with a head mounted display (HMD) and an event occurs for which a notification is to be provided, wherein the notification includes a simple notification providing a simple information of an occurrence of the event or a detail notification providing a detail information of the occurrence of the event,
- the processor is further configured to:
- receive location information from the HMD, wherein the location information indicates whether the mobile device is positioned within a view angle area of the HMD,
- provide, at the mobile device, the simple notification or the detail notification for the occurrence of the event when the mobile device is positioned within the first view angle area of the HMD,
- transmit a signal for providing the detail notification for the occurrence of the event to the HMD when the mobile device is positioned within a second view angle area of the HMD, wherein the second view angle area corresponds to an area outside of the first view angle area.
