CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0164298, filed on “Dec. 18, 2018”, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Field

The disclosure relates to augmented reality displays in electronic devices, and more particular, to augmented reality including adaptively altering display information based on movement of real-world objects.

Description of Related Art

To provide an enhanced user experience, augmented reality (AR) services are being developed which display information generated by a computer in tandem with a user's view of the real world including real-world objects.

The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the present disclosure.

SUMMARY

To provide the augmented reality service, a wearable device may display a virtual object on a display of the wearable device. Because the virtual object is provided in tandem with a viewing of an external object residing in the real world, the external object can influence the visibility of the virtual object depending on configuration or perspective.

Technological solutions the present disclosure seeks to achieve are not limited to the above-mentioned technological solutions, and other technological solutions not mentioned above would be able to be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art from the following statement.

A wearable device interlocking with an electronic device of certain embodiments may include: at least one display including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein external light entering the first surface passes out the second surface, and wherein the at least one display is configured to display information on the second surface, at least one camera, communication circuitry, a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to cause the wearable device to: receive, through the communication circuitry, screen data from the electronic device and displaying the screen data in a first area of the at least one display, while receiving the screen data, detect, using the at least one camera, a presence of a body part holding the electronic device within a field of view of the at least one camera and determine whether the presence of the body part overlaps the first area, in response to detecting overlap of the first area, display the screen data to a second area of the at least one display different from the first area.

A wearable device interlocking with an electronic device of certain embodiments may include at least one display including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein externa light entering the first surface passes out the second surface, and wherein the at least one display is configured to display information on the second surface, at least one camera, a memory storing instructions, a communication circuitry, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to cause the wearable device to: display a screen in a first area of the at least one display, the displayed screen including at least one virtual object and generated based on screen data received from the electronic device through the communication circuitry, while displaying the screen, detect whether a body part holding the electronic device and captured by the least one camera moves into the first area, and based on detecting the body part moving into the first area, move the at least one virtual object from the first area to a second area of the at least one display.

A wearable device of certain embodiments may include at least one display including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein external light entering the first surface passes out the second surface, and wherein the at least one display is configured to display information on the second surface, at least one camera, a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor, wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to cause the wearable device to: display an augmented reality (AR) object on a first area of the at least one display, the AR object associated with a first real-world external object visible through the at least one display, detect a presence of a second real-world external object distinct from the first real-world external object in the first area where the AR object is displayed, using the at least one camera, and in response to the detecting the presence of the second real-world object in the first area, display the AR object, as associated with the first real-world external object, on a second area of the display area altered from the first area.

A method for operating a wearable device interlocking with an electronic device of certain embodiments may include receiving data about a screen, through a communication circuitry of the wearable device, from the electronic device gripped by part of the body of a user, and while receiving the data about the screen, identifying that a first area of a display area of at least one transparent display of the wearable device is hidden by the part of the body by using at least one camera of the wearable device, and in response to the identifying, displaying the screen in a second area of the display area different from the first area.

A method for operating a wearable device interlocking with an electronic device of certain embodiments may include displaying a screen on at least part of a display area of at least one transparent display of the wearable device based on data received from the electronic device gripped by part of the body of a user, and while displaying the screen on the at least part of the display area, obtaining that the part of the body is moved to a first area of the display area of displaying at least one virtual object included in the screen by using the at least one camera, and in response to the obtaining, moving the at least one virtual object from the first area to a second area of the display area.

A method for operating a wearable device of certain embodiments may include displaying an augmented reality (AR) object of an external object viewed in a display area of at least one transparent display of the wearable device, on a first area of the display area, obtaining another external object distinct from the external object in the first area of displaying the AR object, by using the at least one camera, and in response to the obtaining, display the AR object, as associated with the external object, on a second area of the display area altered from the first area.
