Providing media content to a wearable device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, point-of-view (POV) image data that is generated by an image capture device of a head-mountable device (HMD);
using one or more real-world aspects detected in the POV image data to determine a context of the HMD, wherein the determined context is a vehicle-operation context or a vehicle-passenger context;
making a threshold determination as to whether or not the context of the HMD is appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD, wherein, when the determined context of the HMD is the vehicle-passenger context, the context of the HMD is determined to be safe for display of media content, and wherein, when the determined context of the HMD is the vehicle-operation context, the context of the HMD is determined not to be safe for display of media content;
upon determining that the context is appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD;
(a) selecting, by the computing device, first media content for display at the HMD, wherein the first media content is selected based at least in part on a combination of;
(i) the determined context of the HMD, and (ii) a user-profile that is associated with the HMD; and
(b) sending an indication to play out the first media content at the HMD; and
upon determining that the context is not appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD;
refrain from sending the indication.

Abstract
An example method involves a computing device: receiving point-of-view (POV) image data that is generated by an image capture device of a head-mountable device (HMD); using one or more real-world aspects detected in the POV image data as a basis for determining a context of the HMD; making a threshold determination as to whether or not the context of the HMD is appropriate for display of media content in the HMD; and when it is determined that the context is appropriate for display of media content in the HMD, then: (a) selecting first media content for display at the HMD, wherein the first media content is selected based at least in part on a combination of the determined context and a user-profile associated with the HMD; and (b) sending an indication to play out the first media content at the HMD.

10. A system comprising:
-
at least one communication interface operable for communications with a head-mountable device (HMD); a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by at least one processor to; receive, via the at least one communication interface, point-of-view (POV) image data that is generated by an image capture device of the HMD; use one or more real-world aspects detected in the POV image data to determine a context of the HMD, wherein the determined context is a vehicle-operation context or a vehicle-passenger context; make a threshold determination as to whether or not the context of the HMD is appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD, wherein, when the determined context of the HMD is the vehicle-passenger context, the context of the HMD is determined to be safe for display of media content, and wherein, when the determined context of the HMD is the vehicle-operation context, the context of the HMD is determined not to be safe for display of media content; upon determining that the context is appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD; (a) select first media content for safe display at the HMD, wherein the first media content is selected based at least in part on a combination of;
(i) the determined context of the HMD, and (ii) a user-profile that is associated with the HMD; and(b) send an indication to play out the first media content at the HMD; and upon determining that the context is not appropriate for safe display of media content in the HMD;
