  • Patent number: 11068154
    Abstract: A wearable apparatus includes a display unit and a display control unit. The display unit is configured to switch and display a plurality of images classified for each layer. The display control unit is configured to selectively execute a first display control mode and a second display control mode. The first display control mode causes the display unit to display, on the basis of an operation event, the second image from a third image not relating to the first image via the first image. The second display control mode enables the display unit to display the second image from the third image without the first image when a control signal for prompting access to the second image is received.

  • Publication number: 20200050345
    Abstract: To provide a user interface capable of efficiently accessing to information presented in the past. An information processing apparatus includes a detection unit, a control unit, and an output unit. The detection unit detects behavior of a user. The control unit determines a current interest object of the user depending on the detected behavior and sequentially generates display information including content corresponding to the determined interest object. The output unit outputs the generated display information. The control unit optimizes a display mode of the display information depending on a change in the determined interest object on a basis of content of an interest object in the past of the user outputted from the output unit and content of the current interest object.
