Wearable display device, corresponding systems, and method for presenting output on the same

摘要

An electronic device can include detectors for altering the presentation of data on one or more displays. In a wearable electronic device, a flexible housing can be configured to enfold about an appendage of a user, such as a user's wrist. A display can disposed along a major face of the flexible housing. A control circuit can be operable with the display. A gaze detector can be included to detect a gaze direction, and optionally a gaze cone. An orientation detector can be configured to detect an orientation of the electronic device relative to the user. The control circuit can alter a presentation of data on the display in response to a detected gaze direction, in response to detected orientation of the wearable electronic device relative to the user, in response to touch or gesture input, or combinations thereof. Secondary displays can be hingedly coupled to the electronic device.

1. A wearable electronic device, comprising:
a flexible housing configured to enfold about an appendage of a user; a touch-sensitive display coupled to the flexible housing; a gaze detector configured to determine a gaze cone; and a control circuit, operable with the touch-sensitive display and the gaze detector, and configured to output a first presentation of data for display at the touch-sensitive display, wherein, responsive to the gaze detector determining the gaze cone, the control circuit is configured to alter the first presentation of the data outputting a second presentation of the data for display only at portions of the touch-sensitive display disposed within the gaze cone, and wherein after outputting the second presentation of the data and responsive to detecting a touch input at the touch-sensitive display, the control circuit is further configured to override the second presentation of the data by outputting a third presentation of the data in which the data at the portions of the touch-sensitive display that were disposed within the gaze cone in the second presentation are displayed at a location of the touch-sensitive display corresponding to the touch input such that the data is no longer output for display only at the portions of the touch-sensitive display disposed within the gaze cone.
