The present invention relates to a spectacle-type monitor, and more particularly, it is easy to implement augmented reality by adjusting the transmittance of an external background image transmitted from the front of the spectacle-type monitor, and to mitigate cyber symptoms such as visual impairment or dizziness caused by using the spectacle-type monitor. The present invention relates to an eyeglass type monitor capable of providing an image adjusted to a user's vision.

The spectacle monitor is a monitor device that allows a user to watch an image by wearing like glasses, and may also be referred to as a term such as a head mounted display or a face mounted display.

In particular, with the development of wearable computers, it is expected that the spread of eyeglass type monitors as personal display devices for wearable computers will increase. Such spectacle monitors are expected to have high utility in augmented reality, especially when implemented in a see-through form.

However, these see-through type eyeglass monitors have the following disadvantages.

First of all, in case of using the see-through type glasses monitor, it is not easy to control the transmittance of the external background image.

 That is, in case of see-through type eyeglass type monitor, when the external background image is provided by using the light blocking filter at the same time, the shading filter is removed and used, and when the external background image is not necessary, the shading filter provides the desired image. It is configured to receive. However, since the configuration of the light-shielding filter must be provided as essential, there is a disadvantage in that the size of the spectacle-type monitor is limited.

In addition, the transmittance of the external background image is directly related to cybersickness such as visual disturbance or dizziness caused by the use of the spectacle monitor. In other words, in the case of a see-close type that does not display an external background image, the cyber symptoms are worse, and in the case of the see-through type, the cyber symptoms are affected by the transmittance. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to adjust the transmittance of the external background image during the use of the spectacle type monitor, but in the current spectacle type monitor configuration, a complex configuration must be additionally provided to adjust the transmittance, which is one cause of an increase in production cost and a volume increase.

In addition, it is difficult to provide an image suitable for the user's eyesight. In other words, the eyesight is different for each user and accordingly the image should be converted to have a frequency that is suitable for the user, but the conversion of the image for each user separately to provide a suitable vision will increase the production cost of the glasses monitor.

Hereinafter, the spectacle monitor according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary block diagram of an eyeglass type monitor according to the present invention.

As shown, an exemplary block diagram of an eyeglass type monitor according to the present invention includes a data input unit 110, an image processing unit 120, a front transmission density control unit 130, an image incident unit 140, and a power control unit. And 150.

The data input unit 110 receives data to be provided through the spectacle monitor according to the present invention.

Such data may be, for example, data read through a DVD or the like, received through TV reception, or data corresponding to a screen such as a PC. Alternatively, for example, data may be input through an imaging device such as a camera attached to the spectacle monitor according to the present invention. That is, data may be input through an image capturing apparatus that enlarges an external background image or captures the image through a process such as infrared filtering.

In more detail, the data to be provided through the spectacle monitor according to the present invention can be used, for example, in a fixed or mobile video playback device such as a VTR or DVD player, a personal multimedia player (PMP), a video camera, a digital camera or a Divx player. -2, MPEG-4, JPEG, Divx and the like can be a video signal of various standards. Or it may be a digital broadcast signal of the ATSC or DVB standard or an analog broadcast signal of the NTSC, PAL or SECAM. Or an S-Video signal. Alternatively, an image output signal (analog RGB, DVI, MDDI, LVDS, TMDS, IEEE 1394 standard, etc.) used for image signals of fixed or mobile computer devices may be received and processed through the data input unit 110.

The image processor 120 processes the data related to the image signal input through the data input unit 110 to generate an image image to be provided through the spectacle monitor according to the present invention. The image processor 120 processes any one or more of the above-described image signals to generate an image image.

The image incident unit 140 allows the image image transmitted from the image processor 120 or the background image transmitted through the front transmission density controller 130 to be incident on the eyes of the user of the spectacle monitor. The image incident part 140 is preferably implemented in a projection form that reflects only a part of the image image in order to reduce eye fatigue of the user.

In addition, the image incident part 140 may be disposed corresponding to both eyes or one eye of the spectacle-monitor user. The arrangement of the image incident part 140 enables various applications.

For example, it may be possible for a user to see only an external background image with one eye and an image image with the other eye.

For example, in the case of a doctor performing a medical procedure, the eyeglass type monitor according to the present invention is configured so that the image incident part 140 is not disposed corresponding to one eye, but only the image incident part 140 is disposed corresponding to the other eye. In this case, the surgery may be performed while viewing various information necessary during the surgery through the eye of the side where the image incident part 140 is disposed.

The front transmission concentration controller 130 adjusts the transmission concentration of the external background image.

As described above, the adjustment of the transmission density of the background image, that is, the transmission rate, is a key to controlling the immersion of the user in the implementation of the augmented reality. That is, the efficient simultaneous provision of the background image and the image image can effectively provide various information to the user. For example, in the case of automobile maintenance, the work efficiency is dramatically increased by simultaneously providing additional information such as a vehicle image which is a background image and an image image generated corresponding thereto, for example, detailed information about the corresponding component or a maintenance sequence.

In addition, in case of a cyber symptom, the symptom becomes severe when only an image image is viewed without viewing a background image. In the case where the cyber symptom is determined to be severe, the user increases the transmittance of the external background image by the front transmission concentration control unit 130. The symptom may be alleviated, and in case the cyber symptom is alleviated, the transmittance of the background image may be adjusted to increase the immersion of the image.

The frequency adjusting unit 150 adjusts the image image or the background image passing through the image incident unit 140 according to the visual acuity of the spectacle monitor user.

In other words, the current eyeglass type monitor is manufactured based on a general user, so it is particularly inconvenient for users with low vision.
