Wearable device and method for controlling display of the same

1. A method for controlling a wearable device including a display, the method comprising:

changing a content currently displayed on an external device from a first content to a second content different from the first content;

determining, via a controller, whether the changing the content is performed by a wearer of the wearable device; and

displaying the first content on the display of the wearable device to be viewed by the wearer if it is determined that the changing the content is performed by a person other than the wearer of the wearable device,

wherein during the displaying the first content on the display, the first content is displayed only on the display of the wearable device, and

wherein the determining comprises:

detecting a specific motion or gesture of the wearer of the wearable device;

verifying whether a content change signal is received; and

if the content change signal is received after detecting the specific motion or gesture, determining the changing the content is performed by the wearer of the wearable device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting a movement in a body and an arm of the wearer of the wearable device which is equal to or greater than a predetermined movement.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying the first content includes requesting the external device or a network to send the first content to the wearable device.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

if it is determined that the changing the content is performed by the wearer of the wearable device, not displaying the first content at the display of the wearable device in order for the wearer to view the second content on the external device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising before the changing the content, displaying the first content on the external device to be viewed by the person and the wearer of the wearable device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the person other than the wearer does not wear the wearable device.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein during the displaying the first content on the display, the second content is displayed only on the external device.

8. A wearable device, comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device, the communication unit being configured to receive a content from an external device;

a display configured to electronically represent the received content as an image on a screen thereof;

a sensor unit configured to detect a motion or gesture of a wearer of the wearable device; and

a controller configured to control the communication unit and the display,

wherein if the content displayed on the external device is changed from a first content to a second content different from the first content by a person other than the wearer of the wearable device, the controller controls the display to display the first content to be viewed by the wearer,

wherein the first content is displayed only on the display of the wearable device, and

wherein, the controller is configured to detect a specific motion or gesture of the wearer of the wearable device using the sensor unit, and if a content change signal is received after detecting the specific motion or gesture, determine the content displayed at the external device is changed from the first content to the second content by the person other than the wearer.

9. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to detect a movement in a body and an arm of the wearer of the wearable device which is equal to or greater than a predetermined movement in order to detect the specific motion or gesture.

10. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein before displaying the first content, the controller controls the communication unit to request the external device or a network to send the first content to the wearable device.

11. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein if the content displayed at the external device is changed from the first content to the second content by the wearer of the wearable device, the controller controls the display not to display the first content in order for the wearer to view the second content on the external device.

12. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the wearable device comprises a smart glass type device.

13. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the wearable device comprises a smart watch type device.

14. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the wearable device comprises a smart lens type device.

15. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the person other than the wearer does not wear the wearable device.

16. The wearable device of claim 8 , wherein the second content is displayed only on the external device.

17. A method for controlling a wearable device including a display, the method comprising:

changing a content currently displayed on an external device from a first content to a second content different from the first content;

after the changing the content at the external device, displaying on the display of the wearable device a menu allowing a wearer of the wearable device to select whether the first content is displayed on the display;

if the wearer selects to display the first content on the display using the menu, displaying the first content on the display to be viewed by the wearer; and

determining whether the changing content is performed by the wearer of the wearable device,

wherein during the displaying the first content on the display, the first content is displayed only on the display of the wearable device, and

wherein the determining comprises:

detecting a specific motion or gesture of the wearer of the wearable device;

verifying whether a content change signal is received; and

if the content change signal is received after detecting the specific motion or gesture, determining the changing the content is performed by the wearer of the wearable device.

18. The method of claim 17 ,

wherein the menu is displayed on the display if it is determined that the changing content is performed by a person other than the wearer of the wearable device.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting a movement in a body and an arm of the wearer of the wearable device which is equal to or greater than a predetermined movement.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the person other than the wearer does not wear the wearable device.

21. The method of claim 17 ,

wherein during the displaying the first content on the display, the second content is displayed only on the external device.
