APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A DRIVER'S INTEREST IN AN ADVERTISEMENT BY TRACKING DRIVER EYE GAZE
First Claim
1. A controller for providing audio information, the controller comprising:
- a first signal input configured to receive a first camera signal that indicates a direction in which a user is looking;
a second signal input configured to receive a second camera signal that includes captured images of one or more visual information;
a signal output configured to drive at least one acoustic transducer; and
computer logic programmed to;
determine a direction to each of the captured images of the one or more visual information;
determine whether the indicated direction in which the user is looking corresponds to the determined direction of the captured image of one of the one or more visual information; and
upon determining that the indicated direction in which the user is looking corresponds to one of the one or more visual information;
determine a context of the one of the one or more visual information; and
output to the signal output an audio information related to the context of the one of the one or more visual information.

Abstract
A controller for providing advertisements to a vehicle or a wearable housing, and a computer readable medium, when executed by one or more processors, performs an operation to provide an audio advertisement to the vehicle or wearable housing. A first signal input receives a first camera signal, a second signal input receives a second camera signal, and at least one signal output transmits to at least one acoustic transducer, which provides the audio advertisement to the user. The computer logic that may be arranged within the controller determines whether the direction of the captured images of the advertisements and the direction of the user'"'"'s eye gaze correspond to one another, and, if so, the computer logic outputs the audio advertisement to the audio transducer.

8. A wearable controller for providing audio information, the controller comprising:
-
a first signal input configured to receive a first camera signal that indicates an eye gaze direction; a second signal input configured to receive a second camera signal that includes captured images of one or more visual information; a signal output configured to drive at least one acoustic transducer; and computer logic programmed to; determine a direction to each of the captured images of the one or more visual information; determine whether the indicated eye gaze direction corresponds to the determined direction of the captured image of one of the one or more visual information; and upon determining that the indicated eye gaze direction corresponds to one of the one or more visual information; determine a context of the one of the one or more visual information; and output to the signal output an audio information related to the context of the one of the one or more visual information, wherein a first camera that provides the first camera signal, the at least one second camera that provides the second camera signal, and the at least one acoustic transducer are arranged in at least one wearable housing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium comprising a program which, when executed by one or more processors, performs an operation comprising:
-
determining a direction in which a user is looking; determining locations for a plurality of visual information relative to the user; determining whether the user is looking in a direction corresponding to one of the plurality of visual information; determining a context of the one of the plurality of visual information; and outputting an audio information related to the context of the one of the plurality of visual information to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
