FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1, the electronic device 100 includes a first display screen 110, a second display screen 120, a line-of-sight sensor 130, a storage device 140, and a processor 150. The electronic device 100 may be a notebook computer, an electronic book, or a game machine, etc. having a dual screen, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120 are display devices that can provide a display function, such as a liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD), a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) display, a field emission display (Field Emission Display, FED), an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), or other types of displays, which the present invention is not limited to.
The line-of-sight sensor 130 is a device capable of detecting the line of sight of a user, such as an image sensor or an eye tracker, etc. Specifically, in one embodiment, the line-of-sight sensor 130 may include a face imaging module for performing line-of-sight detection according to face steering and pupil position by acquiring a face image and an eye image of the user. In an embodiment, the line-of-sight sensor 130 may include a light emitting module and an eye imaging module. The light emitting module of the line of sight sensor 130 emits a light beam toward the eyeball of the user, and the eye imaging module of the line of sight sensor 130 captures an eye image. The line-of-sight sensor 130 detects the pupil position and the bright spot position of the user in the eye image, and detects the line of sight of the present eyeball according to the position correspondence between the pupil position and the bright spot position. The bright spot positions are reflection spots formed by radiating light beams emitted by the light-emitting module to irradiate eyes of a user.
The storage device 140 is used to store data such as files, images, instructions, program codes, software components, and the like, and may be, for example, any type of fixed or removable random access memory (random access memory, RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory (flash memory), hard disk or other similar devices, integrated circuits, and combinations thereof.
The processor 150 is coupled to the first display screen 110, the second display screen 120, the storage device 140 and the line-of-sight sensor 130 for controlling the operations among the components of the electronic device 100, such as a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) or other general purpose or special purpose Microprocessor (Microprocessor), digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor, DSP), programmable controller, application specific integrated circuit (Application Specific Integrated Circuits, ASIC), programmable logic device (Programmable Logic Device, PLD), graphics processor (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU or other similar devices or combinations thereof, the processor 150 can execute the program codes, software modules, instructions recorded in the storage device 140 to implement the screen control method according to the embodiments of the present invention.
However, in addition to the first display screen 110, the second display screen 120, the line-of-sight sensor 130, the storage device 140, and the processor 150, the electronic device 100 may further include other components not shown in fig. 1, such as a mouse, a speaker, a microphone, a keyboard, a communication component, and the like, to which the present invention is not limited.
Fig. 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the electronic device 100 may include a body B1 assembled by a plurality of devices, components and a casing. The first display screen 110 is pivoted to one side of the body B1 of the electronic device 100 along the first rotation axis RA 1. For example, the first display screen 110 may be connected to the body B1 through various pivoting mechanisms (such as a hinge assembly or a spindle assembly, etc.), so that the first display screen 110 may rotate relative to the body B1. When the electronic device 100 is in the closed state, the display plane of the first display screen 110 faces the upper surface S1 of the body. It is noted that the second display screen 120 is disposed on the upper surface S1 of the body B1. When the electronic device 100 is in the unfolded state, the user can simultaneously view the first display screen 110 and the second display screen 120. In an embodiment, the second display screen 120 disposed on the body B1 may be implemented as a touch screen while providing touch functions.
However, the size and the setting position of the second display screen 120 are not limited in the present invention, and may be designed according to practical requirements. Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the second display screen 120 and the keyboard K1 are disposed on the upper surface S1 (also referred to as a keyboard surface) of the body B1. In the example of fig. 2A, the second display screen 120 is located below the keyboard K1. In the example of fig. 2B, the second display screen 120 is located above the keyboard K1.
It should be noted that, in the example of fig. 2A, the line-of-sight sensor 130 may be disposed at the lower side of the first display screen 110. In the example of fig. 2B, the line-of-sight sensor 130 may be disposed on the upper side of the first display screen 110. However, fig. 2A and 2B are only exemplary illustrations, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The configuration position of the line-of-sight sensor 130 may be designed according to actual requirements. In addition, the configuration position of the second display screen 120 on the upper surface S1 can be designed according to the actual requirement.
It should be noted that the second display screen 120 may rotate along the second rotation axis RA2 (the second rotation axis RA2 shown in fig. 2A and 2B) relative to the body B1. Accordingly, the second display screen 120 can be switched between a lying state (as shown in fig. 2A and 2B) lying on the body B1 and a standing state standing on the body B1. In an embodiment, the second display screen 120 can be switched between a lying state and an upright state according to the line of sight of the user, and rotated from a preset position in the lying state to a display position in the upright state. In addition, the screen rotation angle for rotating the second display screen 120 from the preset position to the display position is determined according to the line of sight of the user.
In detail, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a second display device in a preset position and a display position according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 3, the second display screen 120 may be disposed in a recess of the body B1 through a controllable pivot mechanism R1 (e.g., a motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a spindle assembly or a hinge assembly, etc.). When the second display screen 120 is located at the preset position, the display plane DS1 of the second display screen 120 is substantially parallel to the upper surface S1 of the body B1. When it is detected that the user's line of sight is projected on the second display screen 120, the second display screen 120 is rotated to the display position along the second rotation axis RA2 to stand up. When the second display screen 120 is located at the display position in the standing state, an angle θ is formed between the display plane DS1 of the second display screen 120 and the upper surface S1 of the body B1. Here, the screen rotation angle for rotating the second display screen 120 from the preset position to the display position is the included angle θ between the display plane DS1 of the second display screen 120 and the upper surface S1 of the body B1. In addition, when the second display screen 120 is in the standing state, the display direction of the second display screen 120 can be dynamically adjusted according to the line of sight. That is, the display position of the second display screen 120 can be dynamically adjusted according to the line of sight.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a screen control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the manner of the present embodiment is applicable to the electronic device 100 in the above embodiment, and the following description is made with respect to the detailed steps of controlling the second display screen 120 according to the user's line of sight by combining the components in the electronic device 100.
In step S401, the processor 150 detects the line of sight of the user through the line of sight sensor 130. The processor 150 may obtain gaze information via the gaze sensor 130, which may include gaze direction, eye position information, face orientation, pupil position, and the like. In one embodiment, the gaze direction may include a vector relative to a reference coordinate system (e.g., world coordinate system), and the eye position information may be a coordinate position relative to the reference coordinate system.
In step S402, in response to the line of sight being projected onto the second display screen 120 at the predetermined position, the processor 150 determines the screen rotation angle according to the line of sight direction of the line of sight. Specifically, when the second display screen 120 is laid down on the body B1. The processor 150 can determine whether the line of sight is projected on the second display screen 120 located at the preset position according to the line of sight information. When the line of sight is projected onto the second display screen 120 at the predetermined position, the processor 150 determines a screen rotation angle associated with the second display screen 120 according to the line of sight information. Here, in order to enable the user to view the second display screen 120 with a better viewing angle, the processor 150 may calculate the screen rotation angle for rotating the second display screen 120 according to a predetermined ideal viewing angle and the viewing direction. The predetermined ideal viewing angle is, for example, 90 degrees, 85 degrees or other predetermined parameter values according to actual requirements. Alternatively, the processor 150 may look up a table according to the viewing direction to obtain the corresponding rotation angle of the screen.
In step S403, the processor 150 controls the second display screen 120 to rotate from the preset position to the display position along the second rotation axis RA2 according to the screen rotation angle, so that the viewing angle of the user watching the second display screen 120 meets the preset condition. Specifically, after the second display screen 120 is controlled to rotate from the preset position to the display position along the second rotation axis RA2 according to the screen rotation angle, the viewing angle of the second display screen 120 (i.e., the angle between the viewing direction of the user and the display plane of the second display screen 120) is substantially equal to the preset ideal viewing angle.
Fig. 5A to 5C are schematic views illustrating adjusting a display direction of a second display screen according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 5A, when the line of sight SL1 of the user U1 is projected on the first display screen 110 but not on the second display screen 120, the second display screen 120 is controlled to be located at a predetermined position, i.e. lying on the body B1. Referring to fig. 5B, when the line of sight SL2 of the user U1 is converted to be projected onto the second display screen 120, the electronic device 100 can determine the screen rotation angle θ1 according to the line of sight SL2, and the second display screen 120 is rotated to the display position according to the screen rotation angle θ1, so that the viewing angle α of the user U1 for viewing the second display screen 120 can be substantially equal to the predetermined ideal viewing angle. When the second display screen 120 is at the display position, the screen rotation angle θ1 is an angle between the display plane of the second display screen 120 and the upper surface S1 of the body B1. Referring to fig. 5C, when the user U1 moves to another viewing position in the moving direction D1 approaching the second display screen 120, the electronic device 100 can determine the screen rotation angle θ2 according to the line of sight SL3, and the second display screen 120 rotates to another display position according to the screen rotation angle θ2, so that the viewing angle α of the user U1 for viewing the second display screen 120 is still substantially equal to the predetermined ideal viewing angle.
Accordingly, the display direction of the second display screen 120 can be automatically and dynamically adjusted according to the line of sight of the user. Therefore, when the user views the first display screen 110, the display screen of the first display screen 110 is not obscured by the second display screen 120. When the user views the second display screen 120, the user can view the second display screen 120 at a desired viewing angle to obtain a good viewing experience.
However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above description, and the contents of the above embodiments may be changed as appropriate for actual demands. For example, in another embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may adjust the display direction of the second display screen 120 according to the line of sight of the multiple users, so that the viewing angle difference of the multiple users watching the second display screen 120 may be reduced to obtain a similar watching experience. The following is a detailed description of another embodiment.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a screen control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, the manner of the present embodiment is applicable to the electronic device 100 in the above embodiment, and the following description is made with respect to the detailed steps of controlling the second display screen 120 according to the user's line of sight by the present embodiment with respect to each component in the electronic device 100.
In step S601, the processor 150 first controls the second display screen 120 to be located at a predetermined position. In step S602, the processor 150 detects the line of sight of the user through the line of sight sensor 130. In step S603, when the second display screen 120 is located at the preset position, the processor 150 determines whether the line of sight is projected on the second display screen 120 located at the preset position according to the eye position information and the line of sight direction of the user. In an embodiment, in a reference coordinate system, the processor 150 may determine whether the user's gaze is directed within the display range of the second display screen 120 located at the predetermined position according to the coordinate positions of the eyes and the gaze vector (i.e. the gaze direction). The above-described display range corresponds to a specific area range on one reference plane (e.g., the upper surface S1 of the body B1) in the reference coordinate system.
If the determination in step S603 is negative, in step S604, the processor 150 controls the second display screen 120 to maintain the predetermined position in response to the line of sight not projected on the second display screen 120 at the predetermined position. As can be seen, when the line of sight is projected on the first display screen 110, the processor 150 controls the second display screen 120 to maintain the predetermined position. If the determination in step S603 is yes, in step S605, the processor 150 determines the screen rotation angle according to the direction of the line of sight in response to the line of sight being projected on the second display screen 120 located at the predetermined position. In the present embodiment, step S605 may be implemented as sub-steps S6051-S6052. In sub-step S6051, the processor 150 detects another line of sight of another user through the line of sight sensor 130. In sub-step S6052, the processor 150 calculates the screen rotation angle according to the line-of-sight direction of the line of sight and the other line-of-sight direction of the other line of sight.
In one embodiment, the processor 150 may perform a weighted calculation according to the first weight information of the user, the second weight information of the other user, the line of sight direction of the user, and the other line of sight direction of the other user to obtain the screen rotation angle. For example, the processor 150 may calculate a first screen rotation angle according to a line of sight direction of a user and calculate a second screen rotation angle according to another line of sight direction of another user. Then, the processor 150 performs a weighted calculation according to the first screen rotation angle, the second screen rotation angle, the first weight information of the first screen rotation angle, and the second weight information of the second screen rotation angle, so as to calculate a final screen rotation angle. For example, assuming that the first screen rotation angle corresponding to the main user is 30 degrees, the second screen rotation angle corresponding to the other user is 50 degrees, the first weight information is 0.7 and the second weight information is 0.3, the processor 150 may calculate that the screen rotation angle is 36 degrees (30×0.7+50×0.3=36).
In one embodiment, the processor 150 may determine the first weight information according to the distance between the user and the second display screen 120, and determine the second weight information according to the distance between the other user and the second display screen 120. For example, the processor 150 may determine the corresponding weight information according to the distance between the multiple users and the second display screen 120 through table look-up or function calculation, and the distance between the users and the second display screen 120 may be implemented through any feasible distance measurement technology, which is not limited by the present invention. For example, the processor 150 may determine the first weight information and the second weight information according to a distance ratio between a distance between the user and the second display screen 120 and a distance between another user and the second display screen 120.
In other embodiments, the processor 150 may determine the screen rotation angle for rotating the second display screen 120 based on the line of sight of multiple users according to other calculation processes. For example, the processor 150 may calculate the reference line of sight direction according to the two line of sight directions of the two users, and then generate the screen rotation angle according to the reference line of sight direction and the preset ideal viewing angle.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, when the line of sight of the main user is projected on the second display screen 120, the processor 150 detects another line of sight of another user through the line of sight sensor 130, so as to adjust the display direction of the second display screen according to the multiple lines of sight of multiple users. Otherwise, when the line of sight of the primary user is not projected on the second display screen 120, the processor 150 does not detect another line of sight of another user through the line of sight sensor 130, nor does it rotate the second display screen 120 to the display state. In one embodiment, when there are multiple users, the processor 150 may detect the distance between the users and the electronic device 100 to determine the primary user.
Finally, in step S606, the second display screen 120 is controlled to rotate from the preset position to the display position along the second rotation axis according to the screen rotation angle, so that the viewing angle of the second display screen 120 viewed by the user and another user meets the preset condition. Accordingly, the viewing angle difference between the user and another user watching the second display screen 120 can be reduced, so as to avoid the obvious fall of the display information acquired from the second display screen 120 by multiple users.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating adjusting a display direction of a second display screen according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 7, when the line of sight SL4 of the user U1 is projected onto the second display screen 120, the electronic device 100 can determine the first screen rotation angle β1 according to the line of sight SL4, and determine the second screen rotation angle β2 according to another line of sight SL5 of another user U2. Then, the electronic device 100 can determine the screen rotation angle θ3 according to the average operation, the weighted operation or other functional operation of the first screen rotation angle β1 and the second screen rotation angle β2, and the second display screen 120 rotates to the display position according to the screen rotation angle θ3, so that the viewing angles of the user U1 and the other user U2 viewing the second display screen 120 can be as close to the predetermined ideal viewing angle as possible.
In summary, in the embodiment of the invention, in response to the user's line of sight being projected onto the second display screen located at the predetermined position, the second display screen may be rotated to the display position according to the screen rotation angle, so that the viewing angle of the user viewing the second display screen may be closer to the ideal viewing angle. Therefore, when the user views the first display screen, the display content of the first display screen is not obscured by the second display screen. When the user views the second display screen, the deformation degree of the display content of the second display screen is small, and the user does not need to manually adjust the display direction of the second display screen. Therefore, the operation convenience and the viewing experience can be greatly improved. In addition, by adjusting the display direction of the second display screen according to the sight lines of multiple users, the display information acquired from the second display screen by the multiple users can be prevented from generating obvious fall.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
