Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090128448 | User Interface for a Head Mounted Display - A headset comprises an arrangement and a display. The arrangement is situated at least partially on a head of a user. The display is coupled to the arrangement and capable of displaying a pointing device to the user. The headset is coupled to a mobile device which includes a sensor. When the mobile device is moved, the sensor detects a direction of the movement to generate corresponding direction data. The display displays to the user a corresponding movement of the pointing device which is determined as a function of the corresponding direction data. | 05-21-2009 |
20090273872 | FAULT DETECTION FOR BATTERY CHARGERS - A method of fault detection for battery chargers includes sensing a charge current applied to a battery with a resistive element. The method includes measuring a voltage across the resistive element. The method includes generating a trigger signal when the measured voltage across the resistive element exceeds a predetermined value. The method includes generating from the trigger signal an interrupt signal for a microprocessor. The method includes initiating an over-current handling routine in the microprocessor. | 11-05-2009 |
20100053069 | MOBILE COMPUTING SYSTEM FACILITATING ADAPTIVE DISPLAY OF CONTENT AMONG A PLURALITY OF DISPLAY COMPONENTS INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY COMPONENT - Systems, devices, and/or methods that facilitate adaptive display of content among a plurality of display components including at least one virtual image display component are presented. The disclosed subject matter facilitates forming determinations or inferences based on various metrics for adaptively routing content to select display devices. The display interface component, at least in part, routes content selectively between a primary display component and a virtual image display (VID) component. This can better optimize the use of VID components to avoid overstimulation of a user while allowing access to the benefits of the VID component under predetermined conditions. | 03-04-2010 |
20110089207 | MOUNTING DEVICE COUPLABLE TO A HUMAN HEAD - A clamping apparatus for a head-mounted display device is provided. The clamping apparatus comprises a pivot portion at a rear of the clamping apparatus, the pivot portion adapted to rotate in a rotation plane, a first side portion coupled to and extending in a forward direction from the pivot portion, a second side portion coupled to and extending in the forward direction from the pivot portion, wherein the pivot portion is adapted to adjust the first and second side portions through the rotation plane to a first position and maintain the first position until later adjusted, and a display device assembly coupled to the first side portion, the display device assembly extending in the forward direction from the first side portion. | 04-21-2011 |
20110090135 | INTERCHANGEABLE DISPLAY DEVICE FOR A HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM - A head-mounted display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus comprises a rear coupling member having a right end, a left end, and a central portion, a first lateral support member coupled to the right end of the rear coupling member and extending forward from the rear coupling member, a second lateral support member coupled to the left end of the rear coupling member and extending forward from the rear coupling member, and a selectively positionable display assembly adapted to releasably couple to and be supported by either the first lateral support member or the second lateral support member, interchangeably, such that the selectively positionable display assembly extends forward from the first lateral support member when coupled to the first lateral support member and forward from the second lateral support member when coupled to the second lateral support member. | 04-21-2011 |
20110249122 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATION-BASED OPERATION OF A HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY - A location-based operating method for a head mounted display apparatus is provided. The method can be performed by one or more components of a mobile computing system and remote computing systems. The method obtains location data corresponding to the head mounted display apparatus, and processes the location data to determine a geographic position of the head mounted display apparatus. The method continues by controlling display characteristics of the head mounted display apparatus in response to the geographic position of the head mounted display apparatus. | 10-13-2011 |
