Gaze detection and index display for a display apparatus
The patent US12064180B2 describes a display apparatus designed to enhance user interaction through gaze detection. The apparatus includes a display unit that presents a target object for the user to focus on, alongside a gaze point detection unit that identifies the user's gaze position. A region setting unit establishes a specific area related to the target object, while a determination unit assesses whether the user's gaze falls within this designated region. The system calculates gaze point data based on this determination and employs a display control unit to manage visual indicators. If the user's gaze remains within the specific region for a predetermined duration, a moving index is displayed at the gaze point. Should the gaze persist in the region for an extended period, a fixed index is subsequently shown, with distinct display modes for each index. The display control unit also ensures that the moving index ceases if the gaze moves outside the region, while the fixed index continues to be displayed under similar conditions.
Additionally, the patent outlines a display method that mirrors the functionality of the apparatus, detailing the steps involved in displaying the target object, detecting gaze positions, and managing the indices based on the user's gaze behavior. Furthermore, it includes provisions for a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a display program capable of executing these processes. Notably, when the fixed index is displayed, the system can also provide an instruction indicating the completion of a task, thereby facilitating user engagement and feedback. This innovative approach aims to improve interaction with display systems by leveraging gaze tracking technology to create a more responsive and intuitive user experience.
