ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18050916 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device has been developed with the following features:

  • Display: The device includes a display that can show images.
  • Ocular Optical System: It has an ocular optical system that allows the user to view the display.
  • Control Unit: The device is equipped with a control unit that can adjust the display area based on the distance between the ocular optical system and the user's eye.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual Reality (VR): The device can be used in VR headsets to provide an immersive visual experience by adjusting the display area according to the user's eye position.
  • Augmented Reality (AR): This technology can be applied in AR glasses to overlay digital information onto the real world, with the display area adapting to the user's eye position.
  • Medical Devices: The electronic device can be used in medical devices such as surgical scopes or microscopes, where the display area can be adjusted based on the user's eye position for enhanced precision and comfort.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited Field of View: By adjusting the display area based on the user's eye position, this technology can provide a wider field of view, improving the user's visual experience.
  • Eye Strain: The ability to adapt the display area to the user's eye position can reduce eye strain and fatigue, making it more comfortable for extended use.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced User Experience: The adjustable display area provides a more immersive and comfortable viewing experience for users.
  • Improved Precision: In medical devices, the ability to adjust the display area based on the user's eye position can enhance precision and accuracy during procedures.
  • Reduced Eye Strain: By adapting the display area to the user's eye position, this technology can help reduce eye strain and fatigue, promoting healthier usage of electronic devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device comprises a display configured to display an image, an ocular optical system for viewing the display, and a control unit configured to control the display unit so as to change a display area of the display based on a distance from the ocular optical system to an eye of a user looking into the ocular optical system.
