Head-Mounted Electronic Device with Adjustable Frame Rate - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349411 titled 'Head-Mounted Electronic Device with Adjustable Frame Rate
Simplified Explanation
The head-mounted device described in the patent application includes displays for presenting media content in a user interface window. The device has a display controller to adjust the frame rate of the displays and a frame rate management circuit to determine when to adjust the frame rate based on various factors.
- The head-mounted device has one or more displays for showing media content.
- A display controller is used to adjust the frame rate of the displays.
- A frame rate management circuit decides when to adjust the frame rate based on factors like the type of media content, preferred frame rate, size of the user interface window, point of gaze data, hand gestures data, head pose data, and other relevant information.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in virtual reality headsets, augmented reality devices, and other wearable displays for a more immersive user experience.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps optimize the frame rate of displays based on the type of content being shown and user interactions, leading to smoother and more efficient media presentation.
Benefits
Users can enjoy a better viewing experience with optimized frame rates that match the content being displayed, reducing motion blur and improving overall visual quality.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Enhancing User Experience with Adaptive Frame Rate Management in Head-Mounted Devices
Original Abstract Submitted
A head-mounted device includes one or more displays configured to present media content. The media content may be presented in a user interface window. The head-mounted device may include a display controller configured to adjust a frame rate of the one or more displays and may include a frame rate management circuit configured to determine whether to adjust the frame rate of the one or more displays based on the type of the media content being presented in the user interface window and based on additional information such as a preferred frame rate associated with the media content, a size of the user interface window relative to the total display area of the one or more displays, point of gaze data, hand gestures data, head pose data, data associated with other body parts, audio information and other data.
