- displaying the first content on the display of the wearable device to be viewed by the first person if it is determined that the changing the content is performed by the second person,
- wherein during the displaying the first content on the display, the first content is displayed only on the display of the wearable device.
A wearable device, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device, the communication unit being configured to receive a content from an external device;
- a display configured to electronically represent the received content as an image on a screen thereof;
- and
- a controller configured to control the communication unit and the display,
- wherein when the content displayed on the external device is changed from a first content to a second content different from the first content by a second person other than a first person wearing the wearable device while the first content is displayed on the external device such that the first and second persons simultaneously view the first content displayed on the external device, the controller controls the display to display the first content to be viewed by the first person, and
- wherein the first content is displayed only on the display of the wearable device.
