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 (21)

1. A glasses-type wearable information device connectable to the Internet using a built-in module, comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; 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 a user via the glasses type wearable information device, a setting screen related to a predetermined mode for suppressing a notification from one or more applications of the glasses-type wearable information device;

wherein the setting screen is further configured to set a transfer setting for transferring the notification from the one or more applications to a paired device;

store setting values related to the predetermined mode and the transfer setting in the glasses-type wearable information device;

provide the setting screen to an external terminal to perform setting on a display device of the external terminal.

2. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the glasses-type wearable information device to perform display control to project ea video regarding a notification issued by the application into the field of vision of the user when the glasses-type wearable information device is being worn by the user and is in use.

3. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , wherein the application is at least one of an application installed in the glasses-type wearable information device or an application that cooperates with the glasses-type wearable information device via a network.

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

5. The glasses-type wearable information device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the glasses-type wearable information device to, in response to a notification being issued by the application while the glasses-type wearable information device is not being worn by the user or in the predetermined mode, transfer the notification to the paired device according to the stored transfer setting.

6. A method in a glasses-type wearable information device connectable to the Internet using a built-in module, the method comprising:

performing display control to project, into a field of vision of a user via the glasses type wearable information device, a setting screen related to a predetermined mode for suppressing a notification from one or more applications of the glasses-type wearable information device;

wherein the setting screen is further configured to set a transfer setting for transferring the notification from the one or more applications to a paired device;

storing setting values related to the predetermined mode and the transfer setting in the glasses-type wearable information device; and

providing the setting screen to an external terminal to perform setting on a display device of the external terminal.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions cause a computer as a glasses-type wearable information device, which is connectable to the Internet using a built-in module, to:

perform display control to project, into a field of vision of a user via the glasses type wearable information device, a setting screen related to a predetermined mode for suppressing a notification from one or more applications of the glasses-type wearable information device;

wherein the setting screen is further configured to set a transfer setting for transferring the notification from the one or more applications to a paired device;

store setting values related to the predetermined mode and the transfer setting in the glasses-type wearable information device;

provide the setting screen to an external terminal to perform setting on a display device of the external terminal.
