Method and device for detecting data concerning the viewing of video information and the relaying of this information to a central data processing installation
First Claim
1. A method for capturing and processing viewing data, wherein the viewing data relate to a viewing behavior of a user when viewing video data, and the viewing data are transmitted via a telecommunications network to a central unit, configured to process the viewing data, the method comprising:
- projecting the video data directly on a retina of the user via a virtual retinal display device;
determining, during the projecting, data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data by determining current eye positions of the user by means of an eye position detection module of the virtual retinal display device;
transmitting the viewing data to the central unit, the viewing data including at least the data about lines of sight relative to the viewed video data; and
determining, by the central unit based on the viewing data, picture regions of a single picture, which is part of the viewed video data; and
determining, by the central unit, a correlation of the lines of sight with picture objects contained in the video data, based on the data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data, and based on stored pictorial content descriptions including object designations and locations.

Abstract
Method, device and system for capturing and processing viewing data, which viewing data relates to the viewing behavior of users when viewing video data. Data about lines of sight of a user relative to the viewed video data are determined by projecting video data directly on the retina of the user and current eye positions of the user being thereby determined, which are transmitted by a telecommunications network to a central unit for further processing. In the further processing current eye positions are compared with predefined values, and predefined actions are triggered on the basis of the result of this comparison and/or the viewing data being stored in the central unit, and, for example later, being evaluated statistically.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a central unit connected via a telecommunications network to a device, the device configured to capture and process viewing data, wherein the viewing data relate to a viewing behavior of a user when viewing video data, and the video data reproduced via a display device of the device, the device including a feedback module, wherein the display device is a virtual retinal display device configured to project the video data directly on a retina of the user, the virtual retinal display device includes an eye position detection module configured to determine data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data by determining current eye positions of the user during projection of the video data, the feedback module is configured to transmit the viewing data via the telecommunications network to the central unit, the viewing data including at least the data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data, for determining, based on the viewing data, picture regions of a single picture, which is part of the reproduced video data that have been viewed by the users and the central unit is configured to determine a correlation of the lines of sight with picture objects contained in the video data, based on the data about lines of sight of the user relative to the viewed video data, and based on stored pictorial content descriptions including object designations and locations. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
