Patent Images

1. A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

  • displaying, on a display of the electronic device, an image comprising a first object corresponding to a left eye of a user of the electronic device, and a second object corresponding to a right eye of the user;

    gradually adjusting a distance between the first object and the second object through subsequently displayed images on the display;

    gradually adjusting a size of each of the first object and the second object as a distance between the first object and the second object is adjusted, wherein, as the distance decreases, the size of each of the first object and the second object increases, and as the distance increases, the size of each of the first object and the second object decreases;

    receiving a threshold distance between the first object and the second object, which is one of a minimum distance and a maximum distance between the first object and the second object for forming an image corresponding to the first object and the second object, while gradually adjusting the distance between the first object and the second object, wherein the image is formed at a point where a straight line passing through a left eye of a user and the first object crosses a straight line passing through a right eye of the user and the second object; and

    determining an interpupillary distance (IPD) between the left eye and the right eye of the user corresponding to the received threshold distance between the first object and the second object.
