HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A Head Mounted Display (HMD) device, the device comprising:
- a display unit including a left display and a right display for a left eye and a right eye for displaying images for the left eye and the right eye;
a vital reaction sensor unit including a first vital reaction sensor for the left eye and a second vital reaction sensor for the right eye, for detecting vital reaction changes of a user viewing the left display and the right display, and for generating, when a vital reaction change is detected, an interruption signal comprising coordinates of a position at which the vital reaction change is detected; and
a control unit for outputting images for the left eye and the right eye to the display unit, and for adjusting, upon generation of the interruption signal, positions of the images according to the received coordinates and a given offset.

8. An image display method for a head mounted display device, the method comprising:
-
segmenting an image to be displayed into a first image and a second image, and displaying the first image and the second image respectively on a left display and a right display for a left eye and a right eye; detecting vital reaction changes of a user viewing the left display and the right display through vital reaction sensors assigned respectively to the left eye and the right eye; generating, when a vital reaction change is detected, an interruption signal comprising coordinates of a position at which the vital reaction changes are detected; adjusting, upon generation of the interruption signal, positions of the images according to received coordinates and a given offset; and displaying the adjusted images respectively on the left display and the right display, and adjusting the distance between the left display and the right display so that the distance between optical axes thereof is equal to the interpupillary distance of a user on a basis of the coordinates and the given offset. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A user input method for a head mounted display device, the method comprising:
-
segmenting an image having one or more selection items into a first image and a second image, and displaying the first image and the second image respectively on a left display and a right display for a left eye and a right eye; adjusting positions of the first image and the second image by a given offset according to the interpupillary distance of a user; detecting vital reaction changes of the user viewing the left display and the right display through vital reaction sensors assigned respectively to the left eye and the right eye; generating, when a vital reaction change is detected, an interruption signal comprising coordinates of positions of the left eye and the right eye at which the vital reaction change is detected; constructing an extended coordinate plane according to the image positions already adjusted by the offset so that coordinates of the left eye and the right eye positions are included in the extended coordinate plane; combining the coordinates of the left eye and the right eye positions into coordinates of a single position on the extended coordinate plane on the basis of the offset; and identifying positions, on the adjusted images and on the extended coordinate plane, corresponding to the portion at which a user selection input is generated. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
