Abstract

Claims (39)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a light-transmission member disposed in a line-of-sight direction of a user when the information processing apparatus is worn on a user's head; and

a processor configured to:

switch between displaying of a virtual screen to be superimposed on a real space through the light-transmission member when the information processing apparatus is worn on the user's head and displaying of a display content of the virtual screen on the light-transmission member when the information processing apparatus is not worn on the user's head, wherein a density of the display content is changed with respect to the virtual screen, a first density of the display content of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is not being worn is higher than a second density of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is worn on.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus is a glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus having two lenses as the light-transmission members, and display the display content on at least one lens.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein one of the two lenses is used to superimpose and display the virtual screen on the real space through the light-transmission member, and

the other lens is used to display the display content.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the display content is displayed on each of the two lenses to have a front-rear relationship or a front-rear reversed relationship.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein at least one of the two lenses has a first area for displaying the virtual screen to be superimposed on the real space and a second area used for displaying the display content on the light-transmission member.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first area and the second area are arranged to be vertically divided inside the lens in a case where the user wears the information processing apparatus.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first area is arranged at a location outside the second area in a case where the user wears the information processing apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display content is displayed by a light emitting element arranged on the light-transmission member.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus is a glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus having lenses as the light-transmission members and temples to be worn on user's ears, and

the processor is configured to:

detect whether or not the information processing apparatus is worn on the user's head depending on whether or not the user puts on the glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to:

detect whether or not the user puts on the glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus depending on whether or not the information processing apparatus is moving.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to:

detect whether or not the user puts on the glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus depending on whether or not the user is touching the information processing apparatus.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to:

detect whether or not the user puts on the glasses-type wearable terminal apparatus depending on whether or not the temple is folded.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to:

display the display content on the lens toward a side opposite to a side on which the temple is folded, in a case where the information processing apparatus is not worn on the user's head.

14. An information processing system comprising:

a light-transmission member disposed in a line-of-sight direction of a user when an information processing apparatus is worn on a user's head;

a detection unit that detects whether or not the user wears the information processing apparatus; and

a processor configured to:

switch between displaying of a virtual screen to be superimposed on a real space through the light-transmission member when the information processing apparatus is not worn on the user's head and displaying of a display content of the virtual screen on the light-transmission member when the information processing apparatus is not worn on the user's head, wherein a density of the display content is changed with respect to the virtual screen, a first density of the display content of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is not being worn is higher than a second density of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is worn on.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to realize a function, the function comprising:

acquiring a detection result indicating whether or not a user wears an information processing apparatus; and

switching between displaying of, when the information processing apparatus is worn on a user's head, a virtual screen to be superimposed on a real space through a light-transmission member disposed in a line-of-sight direction of the user when worn on the user's head and displaying of, when the information processing apparatus is not worn on the user's head, a display content of the virtual screen on the light-transmission member, based on the detection result, wherein a density of the display content is changed with respect to the virtual screen, a first density of the display content of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is not being worn is higher than a second density of the virtual screen being displayed when the information processing apparatus is worn on.
