DISTRACTED BROWSING MODES
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a display screen;
an audio output device;
at least one processor; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, enable the computing device to;
display content on the display screen;
determine that a user is distracted;
convert the content displayed on the display screen into an audible speech representation of the content;
begin rendering the audible speech representation of the content using the audio output device;
determine that the user is no longer distracted; and
discontinue presenting the audible speech representation using the audio output device.

Abstract
Approaches to enable a computing device, such as a phone or tablet computer, to determine when a user viewing the content is being distracted or is generally viewing the content with a sufficient level of irregularity, and present an audible representation of the content during the times when the user is deemed distracted. The determination of when the user is distracted or is otherwise viewing the content with irregularity can be performed using sensor data captured by one or more sensors of the computing device. For example, the computing device may analyze the image data captured by one or more cameras, such as by tracking the movement/location of eye pupils of the user and/or tracking the head movement of the user to detect when the user is distracted.
