First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for recording reading behaviour, comprising:
- displaying an electronic document on a display unit, wherein the electronic document comprises a plurality of parts;
capturing an image sequence of a user through an image capturing unit;
executing an eye-tracking procedure on the image sequence to track a movement trajectory of an eye of the user;
detecting whether a sight of the eye leaves a gazing part when it is detected that the eye gazes the gazing part of the parts;
calculating a reading time of the gazing part when it is detected that the sight of the eye leaves the gazing part;
calculating the reading time of the gazing part when it is detected that the eye keeps gazing the electronic document and reading of the gazing part is finished; and
recording the reading time to a storage space corresponding to the gazing part.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for recording reading behavior are provided. A movement trajectory of a user'"'"'s eye is tracked based on an eye-tracking procedure, so as to calculate reading time of a gazing part of an electronic document when it is detected that sight of an eye leaves the gazing part, or when it is detected that the eye keeps gazing the electronic document and reading of the gazing part is finished. And the reading time is recorded to a storage space corresponding to the gazing part.

10. An apparatus for recording reading behaviour, comprising:
-
a display unit, displaying an electronic document, wherein the electronic document comprises a plurality of parts; an image capturing unit, capturing an image sequence of a user; a storage unit, storing the electronic document and the image sequence; and a processing unit, coupled to the display unit, the image capturing unit and the storage unit, and executing an eye-tracking procedure on the image sequence to track a movement trajectory of an eye of the user; wherein when the processing unit detects that the eye gazes a gazing part of the parts, the processing unit detects whether a sight of the eye leaves the gazing part;
when the processing unit detects that the sight of the eye leaves the gazing part, the processing unit calculates a reading time of the gazing part, and records the reading time to a storage space corresponding to the gazing part;
when the processing unit detects that the eye keeps gazing the electronic document and reading of the gazing part is finished, the processing unit calculates the reading time of the gazing part, and records the reading time to a storage space corresponding to the gazing part. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
