INFORMATION DISPLAY METHOD AND INFORMATION DISPLAY TERMINAL
First Claim
1. An information display method that is performed in an information display terminal including an imaging unit that captures an image in a viewing direction of a wearer, a display unit that displays information in the viewing direction, and a plurality of types of communication units that communicate with a network or another terminal which can access the network, the method comprising:
- an information acquisition process that recognizes a first object in the image captured by the imaging unit according to a predetermined criterion, selects a predetermined type of communication unit among the plurality of types of communication units on the basis of at least one of information related to the first object which is stored in advance and predetermined detection information which is obtained from a predetermined element, accesses the network or another terminal through the communication unit, and acquires the related information of the first object from the network on the basis of identification information recognized from the first object; and
an information display process that, when the presence of a second object or a predetermined positional relationship between the first object and the second object is determined or specified in the image captured by the imaging unit, displays the acquired related information of the first object in the viewing direction, using the display unit.

Abstract
An information display terminal includes an arithmetic unit performing a process that selects a predetermined type of communication unit among a plurality of types of communication units on the basis of, for example, information related to first objects recognized from a captured image, which is stored in advance, and acquires the related information from a predetermined device on the Internet through the communication unit and a process that, when the presence of a second object or a predetermined positional relationship between the first objects and the second object is specified in the captured image, displays the related information of the first objects in a viewing direction, using a display unit.

8. An information display method that is performed in an information display terminal including a display unit that displays information in a viewing direction of wearer, a plurality of types of communication units that communicate with a network or another terminal which can access the network, a posture detection unit that detects a posture of the information display terminal, a positioning unit that measures a current position of the information display terminal, and a storage unit that stores map information, the method comprising:
-
an information acquisition process that recognizes an object which the wearer of the information display terminal faces on a map as a first object on the basis of the current position of the information display terminal obtained from the positioning unit, a direction of the information display terminal obtained from the posture detection unit, and the map information, selects a predetermined type of communication unit among the plurality of types of communication units on the basis of at least one of information related to the first object which is stored in advance and predetermined detection information which is obtained from a predetermined element, accesses the network or another terminal through the communication unit, and acquires the related information of the first object from the network on the basis of identification information recognized from the first object; and an information display process that measures a time for which the wearer faces the first object and displays the acquired related information of the first object in the viewing direction using the display unit when the measured time is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An information display terminal comprising:
-
an imaging unit that captures an image in a viewing direction of a wearer; a display unit that displays information in the viewing direction; a plurality of types of communication units that communicate with a network or another terminal which can access the network; and an arithmetic unit performing a process that recognizes a first object in the image captured by the imaging unit according to a predetermined criterion, selects a predetermined type of communication unit among the plurality of types of communication units on the basis of at least one of information related to the first object which is stored in advance and predetermined detection information which is obtained from a predetermined element, accesses the network or another terminal through the communication unit, and acquires the related information of the first object from the network on the basis of identification information recognized from the first object and a process that, when the presence of a second object or a predetermined positional relationship between the first object and the second object is determined or specified in the image captured by the imaging unit, displays the acquired related information of the first object in the viewing direction, using the display unit.
