Controlling electronic device alerts by operating head mounted display
First Claim
1. An immersive head-mounted display (IHMD) system comprising:
- a control device, communicatively coupled to one or more electronic appliances, and operable to receive data indicative of alert data generated by the one or more electronic appliances and cause a display device of an IHMD to pause rendering of primary content and display one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring alert content when the control device determines an alarm level of the alert data is high, according to a predetermined alarm level that is user defined, and to continue rendering the primary content and display the one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring the alert content when the control device determines the alarm level is low according to the predetermined alarm level; and
the IHMD, communicatively coupled to the control device, the IHMD comprising;
a hardware data receiving component operable to receive the data indicative of alert data;
a processing unit having one or more hardware processors communicatively coupled to the hardware data receiving component; and
the display device, coupled to the processing unit, the display device operable to generate a graphical user interface featuring the primary content and the one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring the alert content and to pause rendering of the primary content upon receipt of an input for presenting the alert content, wherein the alert content identifies the one or more electronic appliances that generated the alert data and information describing the alert data.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a hardware receiving component, alert data sent from one or more electronic appliances that are communicatively coupled to the hardware receiving component, the one or more electronic appliances associated with a user; causing, by a control device, a display device of an immersive head-mounted display (IHMD), to pause rendering of primary content and display one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring alert content when the control device determines an alarm level of the alert data is high, according to a predetermined alarm level that is user defined, and to continue rendering the primary content and display the one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring the alert content when the control device determines the alarm level is low according to the predetermined alarm level; displaying, on a display device of the IHMD, a graphical user interface including the primary content and the one or more user interface elements for presenting or ignoring the alert content; and pausing, by the IHMD, rendering of the primary content upon receipt of an input for presenting the alert content, wherein the alert content identifies the one or more electronic appliances that generated the alert data and information describing the alert data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
