User fatigue
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to detect user fatigue comprising:
- detecting a head position of a user viewing a display device and detecting an amount of movement of the head position of the user with a sensor;
determining a posture of the user with the sensor by detecting a distance between at least one of a chest or shoulders of the user and the display device, and comparing the distance with a predetermined distance;
detecting an ambient light condition around the user with the sensor;
determining a duration of the user viewing the display device;
identifying a user fatigue in response to the head position, the posture of the user, and the ambient light condition, wherein the fatigue includes at least one from the group comprising of an eye strain of the user, a neck strain of the user, and a back strain of the user;
identifying a level of the user fatigue based on at least the amount of movement of the head position; and
providing a response to the user with the display device based on the level of the user fatigue.

6. A computing machine comprising:
-
a display device; a sensor to detect a head position of a user if the user is viewing the display device, a posture of the user, an ambient light condition around the user, and an amount of movement of the head position of the user, wherein the posture of the user is detected by calculating a distance between at least one of a chest or shoulders the user and the display device and comparing the distance with a predetermined distance; and a processor to identify a duration of the user viewing the display device if the user is viewing the display device, identify a user fatigue in response to the head position, the posture of the user, and the ambient light condition, wherein the fatigue includes at least one from the group comprising of an eye strain of the user, a neck strain of the user, and a back strain of the user; identify a level of the user fatigue based on at least the amount of movement of the head position, and provide at least one response to the user in response to identifying a user fatigue based on the level of the user fatigue. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer readable medium comprising instructions that if executed cause a processor to:
-
determine a head position of a user viewing a display device and detect an amount of movement of the head position of the user with a sensor; determine a posture of the user by detecting a distance between at least one of a chest or shoulders of the user and the display device, and compare the distance with a predetermined distance; detecting an ambient light condition around the user; determine a duration of the user viewing the display device; identify a user fatigue in response to the head position, the posture of the user, and the ambient light condition, wherein the fatigue includes at least one from the group comprising of an eye strain of the user, a neck strain of the user, and a back strain of the user; identify a level of the user fatigue based on at least the amount of movement of the head position; and provide a response to the user through the display device in response to identifying a user fatigue based on the level of the user fatigue. - View Dependent Claims (14)
