Abstract
A transparent display apparatus and method for displaying information thereon includes sensing a position of an object, sensing a position of a user, determining an area of the transparent display through which the object is viewable by the user, and displaying the information on the transparent display based on the area.
Claims42
A transparent display apparatus comprising:
- a transparent display;
- at least one sensor configured to sense a position of an object and a position of a user;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a first area of the transparent display through which the object is viewable by the user, based on the position of the object and the position of the user, and control the transparent display apparatus to display information on a second area of the transparent display that does not overlap with the first area of the transparent display based on the determined first area.
A method of displaying information on a transparent display, the method comprising:
- sensing a position of an object;
- sensing a position of a user;
- determining, by a processor of the transparent display, a first area of the transparent display through which the object is viewable by the user, in response to the sensing the position of the object and the sensing the position of the user;
- and
- displaying the information on the transparent display on a second area of the transparent display that does not overlap with the first area of the transparent display based on the determined first area,
- wherein the determining the first area and the displaying the information are automatically performed in response to sensing the position of the object and sensing the position of the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded thereon a program that causes a computer to execute a method of displaying information on a transparent display, the method comprising:
- sensing a position of an object;
- sensing a position of a user;
- determining, by a processor of the transparent display, a first area of the transparent display through which the object is viewable by the user, in response to the sensing the position of the object and the sensing the position of the user;
- and
- displaying the information on the transparent display on a second area of the transparent display that does not overlap with the first area of the transparent display based on the determined first area,
- wherein the determining the first area and the displaying the information are automatically performed in response to sensing the position of the object and sensing the position of the user.
