Abstract

A glasses-type wearable information device transfers, when a notification from an application is received, the notification to another wearable terminal in a case where the glasses-type wearable information device is not in use, and does not perform display control to project the notification into a field of vision of a user.

Claims (25)

1. A glasses-type wearable information device, wherein the glasses-type wearable information device is connected to the Internet via a mobile network that is connected to the glasses-type wearable information device using a built-in module or a mobile router, comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions and an application which has been installed in the glasses-type wearable information device and cooperates with an application server on the Internet; and

at least one processor executing the instructions causing the glasses-type wearable information device to:

perform display control to project, into a field of vision of the user via the glasses type wearable information device, a video regarding a first notification issued by the application based on a communication received from the application server on the Internet when the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by a user and is in use; and

transfer, in response to a second notification being issued by the application based on another communication received from the application server while the glasses-type wearable information device is not being worn by the user and is not in use and in response to determining that an application-specific transfer setting stored on the glasses-type wearable information device indicates that the second notification is to be transferred to another wearable terminal.

2. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by the user and an operation mode of the glasses-type wearable information device is a predetermined mode, the display control for the video regarding the first notification is not performed, and

wherein, in a case where the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by the user and the operation mode of the glasses-type wearable information device is not the predetermined mode, the display control to project the video regarding the first notification into the field of vision of the user is performed.

3. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a transition from another mode as the operation mode to the predetermined mode is performed in accordance with an instruction from the user or automatically, and

wherein the predetermined mode is used for restricting at least one of a plurality of functions of applications which include the application installed in the glasses-type wearable information device.

4. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 2 , wherein the operation mode serving as the predetermined mode is set by the user via a setting screen provided by the glasses-type wearable information device.

5. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the display control to project the video regarding the first notification into the field of vision of the user is performed when the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by the user and is in use, the first notification is transferred to the other wearable terminal in cooperation with the glasses-type wearable information device.

6. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a setting of whether to transfer a notification to the other wearable terminal in cooperation with the glasses-type wearable information device is made by the user via a setting screen provided by the glasses-type wearable information device, and

wherein, in a case where the setting of whether to transfer the second notification to the other wearable terminal is valid, the second notification is transferred.

7. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , further comprising a function for a voice call.

8. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , wherein,

in a case where the second notification is transferred because the glasses-type wearable information device is not being worn by the user and is not in use, display control for the video regarding the second notification is not performed via the glasses-type wearable information device.

9. A method in a glasses-type wearable information device, wherein the glasses-type wearable information device is connected to the Internet via a mobile network that is connected to the glasses-type wearable information device using a built-in module or a mobile router, the method comprising:

performing display control to project, into a field of vision of the user via the glasses type wearable information device, a video regarding a first notification issued by the application based on a communication received from the application server on the Internet when the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by a user and is in use; and

transferring, in response to a second notification being issued by the application based on another communication received from the application server while the glasses-type wearable information device is not being worn by the user and is not in use and in response to determining that an application-specific transfer setting stored on the glasses-type wearable information device indicates that the second notification is to be transferred, the second notification to another wearable terminal.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a glasses-type wearable information device that is connected to the Internet via a mobile network that is connected to the glasses-type wearable information device using a built-in module or a mobile router, the glasses-type wearable information device having an application installed thereon that cooperates with an application server on the Internet, to:

perform display control to project, into a field of vision of the user via the glasses type wearable information device, a video regarding a first notification issued by the application based on a communication received from the application server on the Internet when the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by a user and is in use; and

transfer, in response to a second notification being issued by the application based on another communication received from the application server while the glasses-type wearable information device is not being worn by the user and is not in use and in response to determining that an application-specific transfer setting stored on the glasses-type wearable information device indicates that the second notification is to be transferred to another wearable terminal.
