The patent application describes a method for a wearable device to interact with an external electronic device through a user interface. The wearable device, such as AR glasses or a head-mounted device, establishes a communication link with the external device. It uses gaze detection to determine when a user's gaze is directed toward a specific part of its display, which triggers the display of a control screen for the external device.
When the gaze aligns with the external electronic device, the wearable device displays a visual object on its screen. This visual object is linked to at least one function of the external device, chosen from multiple available functions based on the gaze's position. The user can interact with this visual object to send control signals back to the external device, facilitating seamless interaction.
The wearable device consists of several components: communication circuitry, a camera, a display, memory storing instructions, and at least one processor. These components work together to enable the functionality described. The camera captures information regarding the user's gaze direction, while the processor executes instructions that manage communication and display operations.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can store these instructions. When executed by the wearable device's processor, they enable establishing communication with an external electronic device, detecting gaze direction, displaying control screens, and transmitting control signals based on user input related to visual objects on the display.
In some embodiments, the wearable device may also display visual objects extending from the edges of the external electronic device's viewable area. Upon detecting a gaze toward these objects, additional visual elements representing screens from the external device are shown. This interaction allows users to control and view information from external devices seamlessly through augmented reality interfaces.
