Based on the first embodiment, that is, when the operating mode of the display module of the electronic device is determined based on the distance between the observer of the electronic device and the visible area of the electronic device, the electronic device controls the display output area of the display component of the display module in the electronic device, so as to change the size of the perceived image representing the first image content, which is perceived by the observer of the electronic device. FIG. 6a is a diagram illustrating a first display mode according to a second embodiment of the present invention; fig. 6b is a schematic diagram of a second display mode in the second embodiment of the invention.

As shown in fig. 6a, when the distance between the observer of the electronic device and the visible area is L1, and the L1 satisfies the first distance range, then the interaction manner of the observer of the electronic device with respect to the electronic device is a first interaction manner; the perception screen observed by the observer of the electronic device through the visible area is a first perception screen 61 shown in fig. 6 a; wherein the dotted line between the observer's eyes and the display area 20 of the dial of the smart watch represents the direction of sight of the observer's eyes, which is the same in the following embodiments; the transmission direction of the light beam is between the display area 20 of the dial plate of the smart watch and the first perception picture, and is the same in the following embodiments. In this embodiment, if the content of the first perception screen is the first image, the observer observes the entire content of the first image through the display area 20 of the dial of the smart watch. As shown in fig. 6b, when the distance between the observer of the electronic device and the visible area is L2, and the L2 satisfies the second distance range, then the interaction manner of the observer of the electronic device with respect to the electronic device is a second interaction manner; the perception screen observed by the viewer of the electronic device through the viewable area is a second perception screen 62 shown in fig. 6 b. Wherein the second size of the second perception picture 62 is larger than the first size of the first perception picture, and the contents of the first perception picture 61 and the second perception picture 62 are both the first image, that is, when the interaction manner between the observer of the electronic device and the electronic device is the first interaction manner, the observer observes a relatively small perception picture through the visible area, and the contents of the perception picture are all the contents of the first image; when the interaction mode of the observer of the electronic device and the electronic device is the second interaction mode, the observer observes a relatively large perception picture through the visible area, and the content of the perception picture is also the whole content of the first image.
In the second to fifth embodiments, a change in a distance between an observer of the electronic device and a visible area of the electronic device cannot trigger a switching of an operation mode of a display module of the electronic device between the first display mode and the second display mode, so that when the distance between the observer of the electronic device and the visible area of the electronic device changes, the operation mode of the display module of the electronic device is still in the first display mode or the second display mode.
When the display module of the electronic device is in the first display mode, fig. 7a and 7b are display diagrams of a first interaction mode in the second embodiment of the present invention; taking the electronic device as an example of a smart watch, the display area 20 of the dial of the smart watch is a visible area. As shown in fig. 7a, when the display module of the electronic device is in the first display mode and the distance between the viewer of the electronic device and the visible area is L1, the L1 satisfies the first distance range, and the electronic device controls the first display area of the display module to output the first image, so that the perception screen observed by the viewer of the electronic device through the visible area is the first perception screen 71 shown in fig. 7a, and the content of the first perception screen 71 is the entire content of the first image. As shown in fig. 7b, when the display module of the electronic device is in the second display mode and the distance between the viewer of the electronic device and the viewing area is still L1, the L1 satisfies the first distance range, the electronic device controls the second display area of the display module to output the first image, and the second display area is larger than the first display area, so that the size of the output first image is increased, as shown by an area 72, and the size of the perception screen viewed by the viewer of the electronic device through the viewing area is still the size of the first perception screen 71 shown in fig. 7a, that is, the viewer of the electronic device views part of the content of the first image through the viewing area.
When the display module of the electronic device is in the first display mode, fig. 8a and 8b are display diagrams of a second interaction mode in the second embodiment of the present invention; taking the electronic device as an example of a smart watch, the display area 20 of the dial of the smart watch is a visible area. As shown in fig. 8a, when the display module of the electronic device is in the second display mode and the distance between the viewer of the electronic device and the visible area is L2, the L2 satisfies the second distance range, and the electronic device controls the second display area of the display module to output the first image, the perception screen observed by the viewer of the electronic device through the visible area is the first perception screen 81 shown in fig. 8a, and the content of the first perception screen 81 is the entire content of the first image. As shown in fig. 8b, when the display module of the electronic device is in the first display mode and the distance between the viewer of the electronic device and the visible area is still L2, the L2 satisfies the second distance range, the electronic device controls the first display area of the display module to output the first image, and the first display area is smaller than the second display area, so that the perception screen viewed by the viewer of the electronic device through the visible area is the second perception screen 82 shown in fig. 8b, and the content of the second perception screen 82 is the entire content of the first image; the size of the second perception screen 82 is smaller than that of the first perception screen 81, that is, the observer observes the whole of the first image when the display module of the electronic device is in the second display mode under the condition that the observation distance is not changed; when the display module of the electronic device is in the first display mode, the observer can observe all the first image, and only the size of the perception picture is reduced.
Based on the above several embodiments, when it is determined that the interaction mode of the observer of the electronic device with respect to the electronic device is the first interaction mode, the electronic device determines that the display mode of the display module is the first display mode; when the interaction mode of the observer of the electronic equipment relative to the electronic equipment is determined to be the second interaction mode, the electronic equipment determines that the display mode of the display module is the second display mode.
The display module of the electronic device according to this embodiment includes a visible area, where the visible area is used for an observer of the electronic device to perceive a virtual image of the first image through the visible area, and when the electronic device is a wearable device (such as a smart watch), the visible area is as shown in a display area 20 of a dial plate of the smart watch shown in fig. 2. Further, the size of the visual area is the same as the size of the first perception screen perceived by the observer when observing through the visual area in the first interaction manner.
In particular, when the observer observes through the visible region in the first interactive manner, as shown in fig. 6a, that is, when the observer observes through the visible region at a relatively large distance, the observer can observe a first perception picture representing a first image through the visible region; taking the display module shown in fig. 3b or fig. 3c as an example, the display module 24 controls the display area of the display unit 152 of the display assembly 15 to display the first image, and when the display area of the display unit 152 reaches a first threshold, the observer can observe, through the visible area, that the size of the first perception picture representing the first image is equal to the size of the visible area, that is, the observer perceives the first perception pictures as the same size when observing the visible area, that is, the observer observes the first perception pictures to fill the visible area. On the other hand, when the display area of the display unit 152 is smaller than the first threshold, the size of the first perception screen that the observer can observe through the visible area is smaller than the size of the visible area, that is, the first perception screen observed by the observer is not full of the visible area, a free area exists between the first perception screen and the visible area, and in terms of visual presentation effect, a circle of "black edge" exists at an edge of the first perception screen.
Step 503: and displaying and outputting the first image based on the working mode determined by the display module.

when the display module is in a second display mode, controlling a second display area of the display assembly to display the first image, wherein the second display area is larger than the first display area, and the second display area comprises the first display area.
In this embodiment, the outputting the first image based on the working mode determined by the display module is specifically based on the display module shown in fig. 3b or fig. 3c, and the second light beam that performs optical path conversion on the first light beam emitted from the display module and corresponding to the first image to form an enlarged virtual image corresponding to the first image is output.
Specifically, taking the display module shown in fig. 3b or fig. 3c as an example, the display module 24 controls to display the first image in a first display area of the display module 15, or controls to display the first image in a second display area of the display module 15, that is, the display module 24 controls the first display area of the display unit 152 of the display module 15 to display the first image, or controls the second display area of the display unit 152 of the display module 15 to display the first image; in this embodiment, the display unit 152 is a physical device capable of projecting and outputting the first light beam corresponding to the first image, the display unit 152 has a display area, and the display unit 152 can control the size of the display area based on the working mode of the display module; preferably, the display area is located in a central area of the display unit 152, i.e., a central point of the display area coincides with a central point of the display unit 152. That is, in this embodiment, when the display module 24 is in the first display mode, the first image is controlled to be displayed in the first display area of the display module 15, that is, the first image is controlled to be displayed in the first display area of the display unit 152; when the display module 24 is in the second display mode, controlling the display module 15 to display the first image in the second display area, that is, controlling the display unit 152 to display the first image in the second display area; the second display area is larger than the first display area, and the second display area includes the first display area.
As shown in fig. 4a and 4b, when the display module 24 is in the first display mode, the first display area is smaller than the entire display area of the display unit 152; when the display module 24 is in the second display mode, the second display area is smaller than or equal to the entire display area of the display unit 152 (the second display area shown in fig. 4b is smaller than the entire display area of the display unit 152); in this embodiment, the first display area and the second display area are both located in a central area of the display unit 152, that is, the central points of the first display area and the second display area coincide with the central point of the display unit 152, so that the second display area includes the first display area.

Moreover, more and more comprehensive detailed information can be borne through the display of the display module; therefore, the electronic equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention can provide information display with larger size and higher resolution without being limited by the size of the electronic equipment.

As shown in fig. 3b and 3c, the display module 15 in the display module 24 includes a beam splitting unit 151 and a display unit 152, the collimating assembly 14 includes a second collimating unit 141, a first collimating unit 142 and a polarization beam splitting unit 143, and the light guiding assembly 13 includes a waveguide unit 131 and a reflecting unit 132. Wherein the display module 15 in fig. 3c further comprises a light emitting unit 150. The collimating assembly 15 processes the first light beam projected and output in the form of the light beam, converts the first light beam into the second light beam, and outputs the second light beam to the light conducting assembly.
Specifically, the collimating assembly 15 includes a first collimating unit 142 and a second collimating unit 141 arranged oppositely, and a polarization beam splitting unit 143 arranged between the first collimating unit 142 and the second collimating unit 141, and the first light beam output from the display assembly 15 is reflected to the first collimating unit 142 via the polarization beam splitting unit 143, and then is collimated by the first collimating unit 142 and the second collimating unit 141, and then exits as the second light beam via the polarization beam splitting unit 143.
Here, the first and second collimating units 142 and 141 may be a single lens or a lens group designed as needed.
The light conduction assembly 13 is configured to conduct the second light beam in a material constituting the light conduction assembly 13, and finally output the second light beam to an observer; the light guide assembly 13 includes a waveguide unit 131 and a reflection unit 132, and the second light beam can be controlled by setting the position and angle of the reflection unit 132 and be guided to exit at the specific position. In the first case, the collimating component 14 and the display component 15 are located at a first side relative to the plane of the waveguide unit 131, and when the reflecting unit 132 as shown in fig. 3b and 3c is provided, the second light beam may exit to a second side relative to the plane of the waveguide unit 131, where the first side and the second side are opposite sides relative to the plane of the waveguide unit 131.
