BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND HMD DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18073909 titled 'BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND HMD DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a head-mounted display (HMD) that wirelessly connects to a processor. The processor includes a communication module, a light-emitting device, and a processor for controlling the brightness of the light-emitting device based on a brightness adjustment signal received from the HMD device. The HMD device includes a communication module, a sensor for measuring external illuminance, and a processor for acquiring the external illuminance and transmitting the brightness adjustment signal to the processor based on the obtained external illuminance.

  • The electronic device includes a processor and a head-mounted display (HMD) device.
  • The processor has a communication module, a light-emitting device, and a processor for controlling the brightness of the light-emitting device.
  • The HMD device has a communication module, a sensor for measuring external illuminance, and a processor for acquiring and transmitting the brightness adjustment signal.
  • The brightness of the light-emitting device is adjusted based on the external illuminance measured by the sensor.

Potential Applications

  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets
  • Gaming devices with immersive displays
  • Medical devices with head-mounted displays for surgical procedures

Problems Solved

  • Ensures optimal brightness of the display based on the surrounding environment
  • Reduces eye strain and discomfort caused by overly bright or dim displays
  • Enhances the user experience by providing a more realistic and immersive visual experience

Benefits

  • Improved visual comfort and reduced eye fatigue
  • Enhanced realism and immersion in virtual and augmented reality experiences
  • Better visibility and readability of displayed content in various lighting conditions


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one processor, and a head-mounted display (HMD) device wirelessly connecting to the at least one processor. The at least one processor includes a first communication module, a light-emitting device, and a first processor for controlling the brightness of the light-emitting device based on a brightness adjustment signal received from the HMD device. The HMD device includes a second communication module, a sensor for measuring external illuminance, and a second processor for acquiring the external illuminance measured by the sensor, and, based on the obtained external illuminance, transmitting the brightness adjustment signal, for adjusting the brightness of the light-emitting device of the at least one processor, to the at least one processor by using the second communication module.
