SELECTION USING EYE GAZE EVALUATION OVER TIME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. On a computing device, a method for selecting a user interface object displayed on a graphical user interface based on eye gaze, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection input;
evaluating a plurality of eye gaze samples at different times within a time window selected based on a time at which the selection input is detected to determine a combined location of the plurality of eye gaze samples, two or more of the plurality of eye gaze samples having different eye gaze locations; and
selecting a user interface object nearest to the combined location of the plurality of eye gaze samples.

Abstract
Various embodiments relating to selection of a user interface object displayed on a graphical user interface based on eye gaze are disclosed. In one embodiment, a selection input may be received. A plurality of eye gaze samples at different times within a time window may be evaluated. The time window may be selected based on a time at which the selection input is detected. A user interface object may be selected based on the plurality of eye gaze samples.

10. A data-holding device holding instructions executable by a logic device to:
-
detect a selection input made via an input mode other than eye gaze; evaluate a plurality of eye gaze samples at different eye gaze locations and at different times within a time window selected based on a time at which the selection input is detected to determine a combined location of the plurality of eye gaze samples; and select a user interface object based on having a highest weighting according to a selection rule. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A head-mounted display device, comprising:
-
a display configured to display a graphical user interface including one or more user interface objects; an eye gaze tracking subsystem configured to detect a location at which an eye gaze of a wearer of the head-mounted display device intersects with the display; a logic device; and a data-holding device holding instructions executable by the logic device to detect a selection input made via an input mode other than eye gaze, evaluate a plurality of eye gaze samples at different eye gaze locations and at different times within a time window selected based on a time at which the selection input is detected to determine a combined location of the plurality of eye gaze samples, and select a user interface object that is a nearest user interface object to the combined location at which the plurality of eye gaze samples intersect with the graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (20)
