Abstract

In a cooperative display system that connects a portable terminal and a head mounted display to display information in cooperation, the portable terminal displays information on a first display, and transmits at least a part of the information that is displayed to the head mounted display, and the head mounted display shares and displays the information transmitted from the portable terminal on a second display. Here, the information displayed on the portable terminal is hierarchical information, and the information displayed on the head mounted display is lower-level information in the hierarchical information. In addition, whether a user is stationary or moving is detected by a sensor of the portable terminal, and in a case where the user is stationary, the display of the information on the portable terminal is stopped, and the information is displayed only on the head mounted display.

Claims (45)

1. A cooperative display system that connects a portable terminal and a head mounted display to display information by cooperation between the portable terminal and the head mounted display,

wherein the portable terminal displays information on a first display, and transmits at least a part of the information that is displayed to the head mounted display,

wherein the head mounted display shares and displays the information transmitted from the portable terminal on a second display,

wherein whether a user is stationary or moving is detected by a sensor of the portable terminal, and

wherein, when the user is stationary, the display of the information on the first display of the portable terminal is stopped, and the information is displayed only on the second display of the head mounted display.

2. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information displayed on the portable terminal is hierarchical information, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is lower-level information in the hierarchical information.

3. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is additional information with respect to the information displayed on the portable terminal.

4. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a touch sensor detecting a touch operation of a user with respect to the first display on which the information is displayed, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item selected by the user, which is detected by the touch sensor.

5. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a first camera detecting a visual line direction of a user with respect to the first display on which the information is displayed, and

the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item in the visual line direction of the user, which is detected by the first camera.

6. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the head mounted display includes a second camera detecting a visual line direction of a user with respect to the first display of the portable terminal on which the information is displayed, and

the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item in the visual line direction of the user, which is detected by the second camera.

7. The cooperative display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a memory storing the information displayed on the first display, a first controller controlling the display of the first display, and a first external equipment interface performing transmission and reception of information with respect to the head mounted display, and

wherein the head mounted display includes a second controller controlling the display of the second display, and a second external equipment interface performing transmission and reception of information with respect to the portable terminal.

8. A cooperative display system that connects a portable terminal and a head mounted display to display information by cooperation between the portable terminal and the head mounted display,

wherein the portable terminal displays information on a first display, and transmits at least a part of the information that is displayed to the head mounted display,

the head mounted display shares and displays the information transmitted from the portable terminal on a second display,

wherein whether a user is stationary or moving is detected by a sensor of the portable terminal,

wherein an image around the user is captured by a first camera of the portable terminal or a second camera of the head mounted display, and

wherein, when the user is stationary and there are other people around the user in a camera image, the display of the information on the first display of the portable terminal is stopped, and the information is displayed only on the second display of the head mounted display.

9. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the information displayed on the portable terminal is hierarchical information, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is lower-level information in the hierarchical information.

10. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is additional information with respect to the information displayed on the portable terminal.

11. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a touch sensor detecting a touch operation of a user with respect to the first display on which the information is displayed, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item selected by the user, which is detected by the touch sensor.

12. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a first camera detecting a visual line direction of a user with respect to the first display on which the information is displayed, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item in the visual line direction of the user, which is detected by the first camera.

13. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the head mounted display includes a second camera detecting a visual line direction of a user with respect to the first display of the portable terminal on which the information is displayed, and

wherein the information displayed on the head mounted display is detailed information of an item in the visual line direction of the user, which is detected by the second camera.

14. The cooperative display system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the portable terminal includes a memory storing the information displayed on the first display, a first controller controlling the display of the first display, and a first external equipment interface performing transmission and reception of information with respect to the head mounted display, and

wherein the head mounted display includes a second controller controlling the display of the second display, and a second external equipment interface performing transmission and reception of information with respect to the portable terminal.
