1. A system having a display or arranged for working with a display of an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- 1) connection component for connecting the system to an electronic device and/or a communication network;
2) detecting means for detecting a user input generated by a user involving a physical movement of the display and determining whether the user input matches a predetermined profile;
3) sensing means for sensing the user and determining whether the user looks at a direction toward the display, wherein the sensing means is triggered by the user input after it is detected that the user input matches the predetermined profile;
4) timing means for measuring a watching time period during which the user looks at a direction toward the display;
5) presenting means for presenting a plurality of contents using the display; and
6) the system configured such that the presenting means starts presenting the plurality of contents when the display has an idle screen or a screen in inactive or in screen-saver mode and the watching time period goes beyond a predetermined value, the plurality of contents arranged unrelated to information presented before the idle-screen or inactive state.

Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for presenting information using idle time slot. In an aspect, when a standby or idle device detects that a user gazes at it, it starts showing contents on its display automatically. In another aspect, when a standby or idle device detects that a user shakes or taps on it, it starts gaze sensing. If the user gazes at the device, it begins to show contents automatically. The contents may include advertisements.

8. A method performed for presenting information on a display of an electronic device, comprising:
-
1) detecting a user input generated by a user involving physical contact with the display or physical movement of the electronic device; 2) determining whether the user input matches a predetermined profile; 3) activating a sensor of gaze detection after determining that the user input matches the predetermined profile; 4) sensing the user and determining whether the user gazes at a direction toward the electronic device; 5) measuring a gazing time period during which the user gazes at a direction toward the electronic device; 6) monitoring whether the gazing time period exceeds a predetermined value; and 7) presenting a plurality of contents using the display when the display has an idle screen or a screen in inactive or in screen-saver mode and the gazing time period goes beyond the predetermined value, the plurality of contents arranged unrelated to information presented before the idle-screen or inactive state. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method performed for presenting information on a display of an electronic device, comprising:
-
1) detecting the display and/or physical movement of the electronic device to sense a user input; 2) determining whether the user input matches a predetermined profile; 3) activating a sensor of gaze detection after determining that the user input matches the predetermined profile; 4) sensing the user and determining whether the user gazes at a direction toward the electronic device; 5) measuring a gazing time period during which the user gazes at a direction toward the electronic device; 6) monitoring whether the gazing time period exceeds a predetermined value; and 7) presenting a plurality of contents using the display when the display has an idle screen or a screen in inactive or in screen-saver mode and the gazing time period goes beyond the predetermined value, the plurality of contents arranged unrelated to information presented before the idle-screen or inactive state. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
