Gaze time indicator for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for tracking a gaze of a driver of a vehicle comprising:
- a tracking device configured to track a gaze of a driver of a vehicle;
a processor in electronic communication with the tracking device;
a memory in electronic communication with the processor, the memory comprising programming code configured to be executed by the processor, the programming code configured to determine in real-time a duration of the gaze of the driver of the vehicle away from a path in which the vehicle is moving, and further configured to determine an object that the driver of the vehicle is viewing outside the vehicle and to passively alert the driver of his improper viewing of the object other than the path; and
a display in electronic communication with the processor, the display configured to, as controlled by the processor, display an indicator which in real-time fills up, while the vehicle is moving and the driver of the vehicle is gazing away from the path in which the vehicle is moving, to track and display the real-time determined duration of the gaze of the driver as determined by the processor.

11. A method of tracking a gaze of a driver of a vehicle comprising:
-
tracking a gaze of a driver of a vehicle with a tracking device; determining in real-time, with a processor, a duration of the gaze of the driver of the vehicle away from a path in which the vehicle is moving, and further determining in real-time, with the processor, an object that the driver is viewing outside the vehicle and passively alerting the driver of his improper viewing of the object other than the path in which the vehicle is moving; and displaying an indicator on a display which in real-time fills up, while the vehicle is moving and the driver of the vehicle is gazing away from the path in which the vehicle is moving, to track and display the real-time determined duration of the gaze of the driver of the vehicle tracked by the tracking device as determined by the processor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
