Abstract

An approach is provided to control information display at an augmented reality device. In the approach, a biometric value is received from a biometric input device. The biometric input device is a device that receives biometric data from a user of the augmented reality device. The received biometric value is compared to a number of previously established biometric input ranges that correspond to the user. Each of the biometric input ranges corresponds to a different display policy. The comparison identifies a selected display policy. The display detail of the augmented reality device is then automatically set according to the selected display policy.

Claims (36)

1. An information handling system that includes an augmented reality device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;

a heads-up-display (HUD) accessible by at least one of the processors;

a digital camera; and

a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors, wherein the set of instructions perform steps of:

receiving a biometric value from a biometric input device receiving biometric data from a user of the augmented reality device;

comparing the biometric value to a plurality of previously established biometric input ranges corresponding to the user, wherein each of the biometric input ranges corresponds to one of a plurality of display policies, and wherein the comparison results in a selected display policy; and

displaying information to the user via the augmented reality device, wherein an amount of information displayed and a type of information displayed are based on the selected display policy.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising:

configuring, by the user, the plurality of established biometric input ranges and the plurality of display policies prior to the reception of the biometric value.

3. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein each of the biometric input ranges has an upper biometric value and a lower biometric value, and wherein the steps performed further comprise:

selecting one of the biometric input ranges as a normal input range for the user.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the biometric input device is selected from a group consisting of a heart beat rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a perspiration monitor, a brain wave monitor, and a muscle tension monitor.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the biometric input device includes a plurality of biometric input devices that receive a plurality of biometric values, one of the biometric values being the biometric value, and wherein the steps performed further comprise:

identifying the selected display policy by comparing the plurality of biometric values with a plurality of previously established sets of biometric input ranges, wherein each of the sets of biometric input ranges are logically associated with a Boolean connector.

6. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the steps performed further comprise:

identifying an alternate personal service pertaining to the user based on the received biometric value;

retrieving information pertaining to one or more proximate service providers that provide the identified alternate personal service; and

displaying the retrieved information to the user via the augmented reality device.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein each of the display policies are differentiated from the other display policies based on one or more factors selected from a group consisting of the amount of information displayed and the type of information displayed.

8. A computer program product stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer instructions that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:

receiving a biometric value from a biometric input device receiving biometric data from a user of the augmented reality device;

comparing the biometric value to a plurality of previously established biometric input ranges corresponding to the user, wherein each of the biometric input ranges corresponds to one of a plurality of display policies, and wherein the comparison results in a selected display policy; and

displaying information to the user via the augmented reality device, wherein an amount of information displayed and a type of information displayed are based on the selected display policy.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the actions further comprise:

configuring, by the user, the plurality of established biometric input ranges and the plurality of display policies prior to the reception of the biometric value.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein each of the biometric input ranges has an upper biometric value and a lower biometric value, and wherein the actions further comprise:

selecting one of the biometric input ranges as a normal input range for the user.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the biometric input device is selected from a group consisting of a heart beat rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a perspiration monitor, a brain wave monitor, and a muscle tension monitor.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the biometric input device includes a plurality of biometric input devices that receive a plurality of biometric values, one of the biometric values being the biometric value, and wherein the actions further comprise:

identifying the selected display policy by comparing the plurality of biometric values with a plurality of previously established sets of biometric input ranges, wherein each of the sets of biometric input ranges are logically associated with a Boolean connector.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein each of the display policies are differentiated from the other display policies based on one or more factors selected from a group consisting of the amount of information displayed and the type of information displayed, and wherein the actions further comprise:

identifying an alternate personal service pertaining to the user based on the received biometric value;

retrieving information pertaining to one or more proximate service providers that provide the identified alternate personal service; and

displaying the retrieved information to the user via the augmented reality device.
