Abstract

An electronic device include an at least partially transparent display, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a first gesture input using a part of a human body of a user using the camera, receive an utterance input of the user in response to the first gesture input, display text generated based on a property of the utterance input on coordinates corresponding to a position of a part of the human body of the user on augmented reality (AR) provided via the at least partially transparent display, end the reception of the utterance input, when receiving an end gesture input using a part of the human body of the user using the camera, and fix the displayed text in a specified position on the augmented reality (AR), in response to the received end gesture input.

Claims (39)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a camera;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively connected with the display, the camera, and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the electronic device to:

receive a first gesture input via at least a part of a human body of a user via the camera;

display text corresponding to an utterance input which is received while the first gesture input is received, at coordinates corresponding to a position of at least a part of the human body of the user on augmented reality (AR) via the display;

when receiving an end gesture input via at least a part of the human body of the user via the camera, fix the displayed text in a specified position on the AR,

when a second gesture is input via at least a part of the human body of the user via the camera while the text is displayed, edit the displayed text depending on a function corresponding to the second gesture input, wherein the second gesture includes a plurality of gesture states and the function includes a plurality of visual adjustments for the displayed text, each of the plurality of visual adjustments corresponding to a different gesture of the plurality of gesture states; and

update the displayed text to display the edited text on the display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the end gesture is a gesture having a similarity of a threshold or more with the first gesture.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second gesture is a gesture having a similarity of a threshold or more with the first gesture.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises adjusting at least one of a color, a size, a shape, or a slope of the generated text.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises setting an open range of the generated text.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises mapping to perform a predetermined operation, when the processor is configured to receive an input using the text fixed in the specified position on the AR.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to select one of a plurality of selectable options of the function corresponding to the second gesture input based on at least a number of times of inputting the second gesture input.

8. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to select one of a plurality of selectable options based on at least a similarity between the second gesture and the first gesture.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine coordinates to place the displayed text on the AR based on at least a change in position of the end gesture input, when receiving the end gesture input, and fix the displayed text in a position corresponding to the determined coordinates.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the fix of the text comprises placement of the text such that the displayed text is displayed at a specified position on the AR.

11. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a first gesture input via a part of a human body of a user via a camera included in the electronic device;

displaying, via a display of the electronic device, text corresponding to an utterance input which is received while the first gesture input is received, at coordinates corresponding to a position of a part of the human body of the user on augmented reality (AR); and

providing the displayed text in a specified position on the AR, based on at least receiving an end gesture input via a part of the human body of the user via the camera,

further comprising:

when a second gesture is input via at least a part of the human body of the user via the camera while the text is displayed, editing the displayed text depending on a function corresponding to the second gesture input, wherein the second gesture includes a plurality of gesture states and the function includes a plurality of visual adjustments for the displayed text, each of the plurality of visual adjustments corresponding to a different gesture of the plurality of gesture states; and

updating the displayed text to display the edited text on the display.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the end gesture comprises a gesture having a similarity of a threshold or more with the first gesture.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second gesture comprises a gesture having a similarity of a threshold or more with the first gesture.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises adjusting at least one of a color, a size, a shape, or a slope of the generated text.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises setting an open range of the generated text.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the function corresponding to the second gesture input comprises mapping to perform a predetermined operation, when the electronic device receives an input using the text fixed in the specified position on the AR.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

selecting one of selectable options of the function corresponding to the second gesture input based on at least a number of times of inputting the second gesture input.

18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

selecting one of selectable options using at least one of a number of the selectable options and a similarity between the second gesture and the first gesture.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining coordinates to place the displayed text on the AR based on at least a change in position of the end gesture input, when receiving the end gesture input; and

fixing the displayed text in a position corresponding to a position of the determined coordinates.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the text may be placing the text such that the displayed text is displayed at a specified position on the AR.
