Patent Images
1. A method of controlling an optical device, the method comprising:
- detecting, via the optical device, an eye gaze of a user on a first region in a real world scene;
setting a boundary that surrounds the first region, the boundary excluding at least a second region in the real world scene;
performing an object recognition procedure on the first region within the boundary for one or more of a plurality of image frames of the real world scene to identify an object within the first region;
refraining from performing an object recognition procedure on the at least the second region;
displaying digital content associated with the object within the eye gaze, wherein the digital content is displayed while the eye gaze remains on the first region; and
displaying a photo editing tool via the optical device while the user gazes at the real world scene via the optical device prior to capturing a photo of at least a portion of the real world scene.

21. An apparatus for controlling an optical device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to; detect, via the optical device, an eye gaze of a user on a first region in a real world scene; set a boundary that surrounds the first region, the boundary excluding at least a second region in the real world scene; perform an object recognition procedure on the first region within the boundary for one or more of a plurality of image frames of the real world scene to identify an object within the first region; refrain from performing an object recognition procedure on the at least the second region; display digital content associated with the object within the eye gaze, wherein the digital content is displayed while the eye gaze remains on the first region; and display a photo editing tool via the optical device while the user gazes at the real world scene via the optical device prior to capturing a photo of at least a portion of the real world scene. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code for:
-
detecting, via the optical device, an eye gaze of a user on a first region in a real world scene; setting a boundary that surrounds the first region, the boundary excluding at least a second region in the real world scene; performing an object recognition procedure on the first region within the boundary for one or more of a plurality of image frames of the real world scene to identify an object within the first region; refraining from performing an object recognition procedure on the at least the second region; displaying digital content associated with the object within the eye gaze, wherein the digital content is displayed while the eye gaze remains on the first region; and displaying a photo editing tool via the optical device while the user gazes at the real world scene via the optical device prior to capturing a photo of at least a portion of the real world scene. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
