  • PARTIAL-BOOTUP EXECUTION OF INSTRUCTIONS IN A HEAD-WORN AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240061686
    Abstract: A method of activating a head-worn device is disclosed. The method includes activating the head-worn device and performing a partial bootup. When an user-input instruction to perform a function is received, it is determined whether or not the user-input instruction is permitted for partial bootup execution. The user-input instruction is executed based on the user-input instruction being permitted for partial bootup execution, and a bootup of the head-work device is completed based on the user-input instruction not being permitted for partial bootup execution. The method may further comprise determining if the user-input instruction requires user authentication in order to be executed, and based on the user-input instruction being partial bootup compatible and not requiring user authentication, executing the user-input instruction.
