Patent ID: 8823603

Claim:
A head mounted display (HMD), comprising: a display unit configured to output visual information; an audio output unit configured to output auditory information; a sensor unit configured to detect a control input on a touch sensitive region by being positioned at a temple of the HMD; and a controller configured to control an output of control target information according to a region in which the control input is detected in a first region, a second region, or a third region of the touch sensitive region, wherein the controller is further configured to: set the visual information as the control target information when the control input is detected in the first region of the sensor unit, and set the auditory information as the control target information when the control input is detected in the second region of the sensor unit, control an output of the set control target information according to an attribute of moving of the control input, which moves in at least one of the first region, the second region and the third region while maintaining a contact with the sensor unit, and terminate a control for the output of the set control target information when the contact between the control input and the sensor unit is released, wherein the first region corresponds to a region adjacent to the display unit of the temple, wherein the second region corresponds to a region adjacent to the audio output unit of the temple and wherein the third region is between the first region and the second region, wherein when the control input is detected in the first region, the first region is extended to the entire touch sensitive region including the second region and the visual information is controlled by the control input detected in the extended first region while the contact is maintained, wherein when the control input is detected in the second region, the second region is extended to the entire touch sensitive region including the first region and the auditory information is controlled by the control input detected in the extended second region while the contact is maintained, wherein when the control input is detected in the third region between the first region and the second region and moves to a first direction at which the first region is positioned while the contact is maintained, the first region is extended to the entire touch sensitive region including the second region and the visual information is set as the control target information, and wherein when the control input is detected in the third region between the first region and the second region and moves to a second direction at which the second region is positioned while the contact is maintained, the second region is extended to the entire touch sensitive region including the first region and the auditory information is set as the control target information.
