The head mounted display ("HMD") can be worn by the user like a pair of glasses. The user can receive various information from the HMD worn like glasses.
The user can store the HMD in the HMD case to use the HMD or to charge the power. However, when the HMD is stored in the HMD case, there is a problem that the user can not continuously use the HMD. That is, the user had to disconnection the HMD from the HMD case in order to use the HMD.
Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee the continuity of HMD use to the user so that the user can continuously use the HMD even when the HMD is stored in the HMD case.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an HMD for changing a setting according to a storage state of an HMD and a control method thereof are provided.
According to another embodiment, there is provided an HMD for changing the optical path of a projector unit according to a physical structure of an HMD case and a control method thereof.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an HMD for changing the setting of visual information according to a physical structure of a display unit, and a control method thereof.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an HMD for changing a setting of a touch sensing panel according to a physical structure of a touch input hole and a control method thereof.
According to another embodiment, there is provided an HMD case for housing an HMD.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a head mounted display (HMD), comprising: a projector unit for projecting visual information; A sensor unit for sensing whether the HMD is housed in an HMD case housing the HMD; And a processor for controlling the projector unit and the sensor unit; Wherein the processor changes the optical path of the projector unit based on a physical structure of the HMD case when the HMD detects an in-case state stored in the HMD case, It is possible to provide an HMD that changes the optical path of the projector unit based on the physical structure of the HMD when the unseated state not stored in the case is detected.

Further, according to another embodiment, the HMD in the in-case state can change the optical path of the projector unit so that the visual information projected from the projector unit faces the display unit provided in the HMD case. Therefore, the user can receive the visual information projected from the HMD through the display unit provided in the HMD case.
According to another embodiment, the HMD in the in-case state changes the setting of the touch sensing panel according to the physical structure of the touch input hole, so that the user can directly control the HMD through the touch input hole.

Further, the first command and the second command may be mutually corresponding commands. For example, if the first command is a volume up command, the second command may be a volume down command. Alternatively, when the first command is an image enlargement command, the second command may be an image reduction command.
8 is a flowchart showing a control method of the HMD. In the flowchart, the detailed description of the portions similar or overlapping with those described in Figs. 1 to 7 will be omitted.
First, the HMD can detect the state of the HMD (S8010). Here, the state of the HMD indicates the housed state with respect to the HMD case, which indicates the state in which the HMD is housed in the HMD case, and the state in which the HMD is not housed in the HMD case in the uncase state. The HMD can detect the stored state of the HMD using the sensor unit, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to FIG.
If the in-case state of the HMD is detected, the HMD can change the optical path of the projector unit based on the physical structure of the HMD case (S8020). More specifically, the HMD in the in-case state can change the optical path of the projector unit based on the physical structure of the display unit provided in the HMD case. The HMD in the in-case state can change the optical path so that the visual information projected from the projector unit can be displayed on the display unit. This is to allow the user to continuously use the HMD through the HMD case even if the HMD is housed in the HMD case. In this case, the HMD can change the optical path of the projector unit by rotating the projector unit or rotating the prism unit, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B. Further, the HMD can change the setting of the projected visual information based on the physical structure of the display unit, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to FIG. 4B.
If the unexpected state of the HMD is detected, the HMD can change the optical path of the projector unit based on the physical structure of the HMD (S8030). More specifically, the HMD in the un-case state can change the optical path so that the visual information projected from the projector unit faces the user's eyes. In this case as well, the HMD can change the optical path of the projector unit by rotating the projector unit and / or the prism unit, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to Figs. 4A and 4B. Further, the HMD can change the setting of the projected visual information based on the physical structure of the HMD, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to FIG. 4B.
In addition, the HMD can change the setting of the touch sensing panel according to the physical state of the HMD or the HMD case according to the storage state of the HMD, and a detailed description thereof is as described above with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.
Although the drawings have been described for the sake of convenience of explanation, it is also possible to combine the embodiments described in the drawings to design a new embodiment. It is also within the scope of the right to design a computer-readable recording medium on which programs for executing the previously described embodiments are recorded according to the needs of those skilled in the art.
In addition, the HMD and its control method are not limited to the configuration and method of the embodiments described above as described above, but the embodiments described above may be modified so that all or some of the embodiments are selectively And may be configured in combination.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It should be understood that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In addition, the HMD and the control method of the present invention can be implemented as a code readable by a processor on a recording medium readable by a processor included in the network device. The processor-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by the processor is stored. Examples of the recording medium readable by the processor include a ROM, a RAM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage, and the like, and may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave such as transmission over the Internet. In addition, the processor-readable recording medium may be distributed over network-connected computer systems so that code readable by the processor in a distributed fashion can be stored and executed.
Further, the directions in the present specification are not limited to the exact directions, but can be viewed as including a certain range of actual angles, velocities, and directions. That is, the angles, velocities and directions herein may represent substantial angles, velocities, and directions, and a range of errors may exist.
In this specification, both the invention and the method invention are explained, and the description of both inventions can be supplemented as necessary.
