WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A wearable device comprising:
- a wearable device body;
a display unit provided in the wearable device body;
a sensing unit included in the wearable device body, and configured to sense a region, in which the display unit is covered by an object, and a region in which the display unit is not covered; and
a control unit configured to display first image information in a predetermined first region when the region in which the display unit is not covered corresponds to the predetermined first region, and display second image information in a predetermined second region when the region in which the display unit is not covered corresponds to the predetermined second region, as a result in which a portion of the display unit is covered by the object,wherein,the region in which the display unit is covered is changed in a state where the first image information is displayed in the predetermined first region, and when the region in which the display unit is covered includes at least one portion of a predetermined threshold region, the control unit maintains a state in which the first image information is displayed in the predetermined first region, andthe second image information comprises information associated with the first image information.
