ATTENTION ESTIMATION TO CONTROL THE DELIVERY OF DATA AND AUDIO/VIDEO CONTENT
First Claim
1. A computing device for controlling the delivery of data and audio/video content, comprising:
- a communication interface that connects the computing device to a network that connects to a subscriber device, and a companion device;
a memory device resident in the computing device; and
a processor disposed in communication with the communication interface and the memory device, the processor configured to;
deliver primary content to the subscriber device for viewing by a subscriber;
deliver secondary content to the companion device for viewing by the subscriber in parallel with the subscriber viewing the primary content, the secondary content relating to the primary content;
extract at least one attention estimation feature from the primary content;
monitor the companion device to determine an interaction measurement for the subscriber viewing the secondary content on the companion device;
calculate an attention measurement for the subscriber viewing the primary content based on said at least one attention estimation feature, and the interaction measurement; and
control the delivery of the secondary content to the companion device based on the attention measurement.

Abstract
A method implemented in a computer system for controlling the delivery of data and audio/video content. The method delivers primary content to the subscriber device for viewing by a subscriber. The method also delivers secondary content to the companion device for viewing by the subscriber in parallel with the subscriber viewing the primary content, where the secondary content relates to the primary content. The method extracts attention estimation features from the primary content, and monitors the companion device to determine an interaction measurement for the subscriber viewing the secondary content on the companion device. The method calculates an attention measurement for the subscriber viewing the primary content based on the attention estimation features, and the interaction measurement, and controls the delivery of the secondary content to the companion device based on the attention measurement.
