Preferably, said step of detecting to obtain a trigger event is: detecting a movement of a user's eyeball.
Preferably, said step of detecting a movement of a user's eyeball is: detecting a user's pupillary distance.
Preferably, the electronic device is a spectacle-type electronic device; the display unit comprises a lens; the lens has an indicative mark thereon; when the movement of the user's eyeball is to look at the indicative mark, it is determined that the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched.
Preferably, the detecting member detects a movement of a user's eyeball, wherein, said step of detecting a movement of a user's eyeball comprises detecting a user's pupillary distance.
Preferably, the electronic device is a spectacle-type electronic device; the display unit comprises a lens; the lens has an indicative mark thereon; when the detecting member detects that a movement of a user's eyeball is to look at the indicative mark, the processing unit determines that the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched.
An embodiment of the present invention, detects a movement of a user's eyeball, and according to movement of the eyeball, judges whether or not the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched, thus, without the need of the user's additional actions, it can control an electronic device only by a natural movement of the user's eyes; therefore, in one hand, because the user makes a natural movement, it is very convenient, more closer to the actual needs of users, and also more user-friendly; in the other hand, because of no requirement of additional devices such as a remote controller, the electronic device is simple in structure.
Further, an embodiment of the present invention, through an movement of a user's eye, adjusts the transparency of the lens of an electronic device, so as to switch the operation mode of the electronic device; therefore, it makes the adjustment operation easy, and makes the spectacle-type electronic device easier to be adjusted for freely switching between the surroundings and the electronic device scenes for a user to watch, thereby eliminating the need of frequent takeoff-and-wear.
Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention, also has an indicative mark on the lens; when a user's sight line falls on the indicative mark, it is determined that the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched; when the sight line falls in the other portions of the lenses, switching is not triggered; in this way, erroneous switching can be avoided.
Step 101: Detecting a movement of a user's eyeball by the detecting member;
Step 102: According to the movement of the user's eyeball, judging whether or not the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched;
In a first embodiment, for example, when the electronic device is a spectacle-type electronic device; the spectacle-type electronic device comprises a lens and a structural member, such as a frame; the structural member facilitates a user to wear the spectacle-type electronic device on his eyes, while the detecting member, such as a camera provided on the structural member, facilitates detecting a movement of the user's eyeball; in this embodiment, for example, the lens displays an indicative mark thereon, so that when it is detected that the movement of the user is to look at the indicative mark, i.e. the user's sight line focuses on the indicative mark, it can be determined that the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched; the operation modes are, for example, a 2D mode and a 3D mode, alternatively, a real scene mode and a terminal scene mode.
Further, when a user's sight line focuses on the indicative mark, it can represent that the user's pupillary distance reaches a predefined value, thereby it can be determined which operation mode of the electronic device is to be switched, for example, when the first operation mode is a real scene mode and the second operation mode is a terminal scene mode, a small pupillary distance indicates that the eyes watches a close place, then the electronic device needs to be switched to the second operation mode; a large pupillary distance indicates watching a distant place, then the electronic device needs to be switched to the first operation mode. In this embodiment, the operation mode of the electronic device is switched by adjusting the transparency of the lens, which specifically is when the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device needs to be switched to the first operation mode, the transparency of the lens is adjusted higher, so that it is easy for the user to see surroundings, i.e., the real scene; when the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device needs to be switched to the second operation mode, the transparency of the lens is adjusted lower, so that it is easy for the user to see contents on the lens; in this way, it can avoid frequent takeoff-and-wear of the spectacle-type electronic device for a user.
In another embodiment, the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device is switched by partitioning the lens, for example, when the spectacle-type electronic device is in a first operation mode, and the focus of the user's sight line is on the indicative mark, this indicates that the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device needs to be switched to the second operation mode, and this can be accomplished by adjusting the transparency of the lens in partitions, for example, the transparency of the upper half of the lens is adjusted higher, and the transparency of the lower half of the lens is adjusted lower or remained unchanged, so that the user can directly view a real scene from the upper half of the lens, also can watch the content displayed on the lens through the lower half of the lens.
In another embodiment, the lens does not require any indicative mark, but only the detecting member is required to detect changes in the user's pupillary distance, such as calculating the pupillary distance; when the pupillary distance is less than a predefined value, it indicates that the user needs to see the content on the lens, whereas when the pupillary distance is greater than the predefined value, it indicates that the user needs to see the surrounding environment; for example, when the first operation mode is a real scene mode and the second operation mode is a terminal scene mode, a small pupillary distance indicates that the eyes watches a close place, then the electronic device needs to be switched to the second operation mode, whereas a large pupillary distance indicates watching a distant place, then the electronic device needs to be switched to the first operation mode. In this embodiment, the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device can be switched by adjusting the transparency of the lens, which specifically is when the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device needs to be switched to the first operation mode, the transparency of the lens is adjusted higher, so that it is easy for the user to see surroundings, i.e., the real scene; when the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device needs to be switched to the second operation mode, the transparency of the lens is adjusted lower, so that it is easy for the user to see contents on the lens; in this way, it can avoid frequent takeoff-and-wear of the spectacle-type electronic device for a user. Certainly, it is also possible to switch the operation mode of the electronic device by partitioning the lens, and this method has been explained in the foregoing description, which is therefore not specifically described here.
In another embodiment, the detection member does not need to calculate a pupillary distance, but only the movement of a user's eyeball is required to be detected, to determine whether the user's viewpoint is inside the contents of the lens or outside the contents; when the user's viewpoint detected is inside the content, the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device is switched to the terminal scene mode, whereas when the user's viewpoint detected is outside the content, the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device is switched to the real scene mode; also, it is possible to switch the operation mode of the spectacle-type electronic device by adjusting the transparency of the lens or by partitioning the lens, and these methods has been explained in the foregoing description, which are therefore not specifically described here.
In another embodiment, when the first operation mode is a 2D mode and the second operation mode is a 3D mode, the operation mode of the electronic device can be switched by adjusting the display mode of the display unit of the electronic device; for example, when the movement of a user's eye is to look at the indicative mark on the lens, the 3D mode is switched to the 2D mode, alternatively, for example, when the user's pupillary distance detected becomes small to a predefined value, the 2D mode is switched to the 3D mode; this embodiment is different from the aforementioned embodiments in that this embodiment involves different operation modes and a different switching mode (switching by adjustment the display mode of the lens); with the foregoing description of the above embodiments, the skilled in the art can clearly understand the method in this embodiment, which are therefore not specifically described here.

The detecting member 201 is, for example, a camera or other measurement instrument for measuring a movement of eyes, e.g. a centrometer, and the like.
In an embodiment, for example, when the electronic device is a spectacle-type electronic device, the spectacle-type electronic device comprises a lens and a structural member, such as a frame; the structural member facilitates a user to wear the spectacle-type electronic device on his eyes, while the detecting member, such as a camera provided on the structural member, facilitates detecting a movement of the user's eyeball
Further, the lens displays an indicative mark thereon, so that when it is detected that the movement of the user is to look at the indicative mark, i.e. the user's sight line focuses on the indicative mark, it can be determined that the operation mode of the electronic device needs to be switched; the operation modes are, for example, a 2D mode and a 3D mode, alternatively, a real scene mode and a terminal scene mode.
In another embodiment, the electronic device further comprises a display unit, and the processing unit comprises a display mode switching unit; and when the first operation mode is a 2D mode and the second operation mode is a 3D mode, the operation mode of the electronic device can be switched by adjusting the display mode of the display unit, for example, when the movement of a user's eye is to look at the indicative mark on the lens, the 3D mode is switched to the 2D mode, alternatively, for example, when the user's pupillary distance detected becomes small to a predefined value, the 2D mode is switched to the 3D mode.

Of course, the above embodiments are only examples. One skilled in the art can understand that the display processing method of an embodiment of the present invention can set other criterion as the first condition. Alternatively, the first condition corresponding to the trajectory is formed by trajectory which conforms to the user's habit.
At step 1503, the display processing method obtains a first adjustment parameter. Wherein the first adjustment parameter is used to adjust the parameters of the image in a first adjustment direction. The adjustment parameters is, for example, the electronic device's transparency, brightness, etc. The first direction of adjustment, for example, is one of the increasing direction and the decreasing direction. Here, the direction for increasing is assumed. For example, in the case of brightness, the first adjustment parameter may be a brightness increase amount.
More specifically, for example, in the case of brightness, the display processing method adjusts the brightness of the image based on the first adjustment parameter and the image information to generate the first adjustment image after brightness adjustment. In the case of transparency, the image display processing method adjusts the transparency of the image based on the first adjustment parameter and the image information to generate the first adjustment image after the transparency adjustment.
The processing method to adjust image processing skilled in the know, this will not elaborate.
Thereafter, in step 1506, the display processing method displays the first adjustment image.
Thus, the display processing method of the embodiment of the invention allows the user to adjust the parameters of the image displayed on the electronic device by the gesture operation which conforms to the user's habits, makes it easy to be learned by the user, makes the user operation simple, and thus greatly improve the user experiences.
In addition, further, in another embodiment of the present invention, the display processing method can not only adjust the image in the first adjustment direction, but also can adjust in the second adjustment direction.
In this case, the display processing method detects the second gesture on the electronic device operation performed by the user. Specifically, the display processing method, for example, detects the second gesture by the touch unit.
Next, the display processing method judge whether the second gesture operation satisfies the second condition. The second condition and the first condition are different. Alternatively, the second condition, the first condition, although different, but are the corresponding conditions. For the user, i.e., the first gesture operation satisfying the first condition and the second gesture operation satisfying the second condition belong to the same operation style gesture.
Specifically, in one embodiment, the display processing method determines whether the touching point's trajectory of the second gesture operation is formed by the continuous curve trajectory, which is formed by coming and going between a third sliding direction and a fourth sliding direction different from the third sliding direction. For example, the third sliding direction is the direction towards the upper side of the display unit, and the fourth sliding direction is the direction towards the lower side of the display unit. The number of the touch point may be one, or can be multiple. That is, the display processing method to determine whether the second gesture operation is similar to the so-called back and forth gesture, and the user can use a pointing (e.g., finger) to make the gesture, or can make the same gesture using a plurality of pointing objects (for example, multi-fingers).
Next, when the second gesture operation does not satisfy the second condition, the display processing method ends. On the other hand, when the second gesture operation satisfies the second condition, the display processing method obtains the second adjustment parameter. The second adjustment parameter is used to adjust the parameters of the image in the second adjusting direction. The second adjusting direction and the first adjustment direction are opposite, i.e., for example, one of the increasing direction and the decreasing direction, here assumed to be decreasing direction. For example, in the case of brightness, the second adjustment parameter can be the luminance reduction amount.
In one embodiment, the display processing method may operate, according to the second gesture, to obtain a fixed second adjustment parameter. I.e., in the above case, for example, whatever the track of the second gesture operation is, as long as it satisfies the second condition, the display processing method obtains the same second adjustment parameter.
In another embodiment, the second adjustment parameter may be variable. Specifically, the display processing method may operate according to the second gesture, to determine the size of the second adjustment parameter. Processing is similar with that with reference to FIG. 15, which will not be described in detail here.
Similarly, on the other hand, the display processing method obtains the image information of the displayed image, and processes the image according to the second adjustment parameter to generate a second adjustment image, and display the second adjustment image.
Thereby, the display processing method of the embodiment of the invention allows the user to be able to adjust the parameters of the image displayed on the electronic device in two adjustment directions, thereby the users easily learn and master, so that the user operation is simple, which further improves the user experience.
Further, in another embodiment, the parameters of the image have an upper limit and a lower limit. The display processing method can be in operation when the first condition is met, determines whether the displayed image parameter has been reached the limit corresponding to the first adjustment parameter which is one of the upper and the lower limit. When the image parameter has reached the limit corresponding to the first adjustment parameter which is one of the upper and the lower limit, the display processing method maintains the display of the image without the adjustment.
Namely, in this embodiment, in the case of brightness, for example, the display processing method in the first gesture operation when the first condition is satisfied, judges whether the luminance value of the judgment of the image has reached the upper limit of brightness. When the brightness of the image has reached the upper limit, the display processing method maintains the display of the image without adjusting brightness.
Similarly, in the embodiment described above, the display processing method may be operated in the second gesture when the second condition is satisfied, and determines whether the parameter has reached the upper limit of the lower limit. When the parameter of the image has reached one of the upper and the lower limit, the display processing method maintains the display of the image without adjusting.
The display processing method in the second gesture operation satisfies the second condition, judging whether the brightness of the image has reached the lower limit of luminance. When the brightness of the image has reached the lower limit of luminance, and to maintain the display of the image of the display processing method without adjusting.
Thus, the display processing method of the embodiment of the invention allows the user through the gesture operation habits, within a reasonable range appropriately adjusting the parameters of the image displayed on the electronic device, thereby easily the user to learn and master, so that the user operation is simple further improve the user experience.

The second generation unit processes the image according to the second adjustment parameter and the image display processing to generate a second adjustment image. The second display processing unit displays the second adjustment image. The second condition and the first condition are different, since the second adjusting direction is opposite to the first adjusting direction.
