EYE-GAZE ENABLED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system configured to generate context-specific driving instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- an eye-gaze sensor configured to determine an eye-gaze direction of the driver;
a computing device configured to;
identify, based on the eye-gaze direction of the driver, a first object within the field of view of the driver, andgenerate a context-specific driving instruction that references the first object; and
at least one output device configured to output the context-specific driving instruction to the driver.

Abstract
A navigation system is configured to generate a sequence of driving instructions for directing a driver of a vehicle from a current location to a final destination. The navigation system is configured to capture sensor data that reflects the field of view of the driver and to identify objects in that field of view. The navigation system then customizes the driving instructions to reference specific objects, thereby generating context-specific driving instructions. The navigation system is also configured to identify particular objects upon which the driver is focused, and to generate context-specific driving instructions relative to such objects of focus. The navigation system may also provide correction information to the driver upon determining that the driver has incorrectly focused on a different object than an object referenced in a context-specific driving instruction.

1. A system configured to generate context-specific driving instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
an eye-gaze sensor configured to determine an eye-gaze direction of the driver; a computing device configured to; identify, based on the eye-gaze direction of the driver, a first object within the field of view of the driver, and generate a context-specific driving instruction that references the first object; and at least one output device configured to output the context-specific driving instruction to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, configures the processor to generate context-specific driving instructions for a driver of a vehicle, by performing the steps of:
-
receiving an eye-gaze direction of the driver from an eye-gaze sensor; identifying a first object based on the eye-gaze direction of the driver; generating a context-specific driving instruction that references the first object; and outputting the context-specific driving instruction to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method for generating context-specific driving instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via an eye-gaze sensor, an eye-gaze direction of the driver; identifying, based on the eye-gaze direction of the driver, a first object within a field of view of the driver; generating a context-specific driving instruction that references the first object; and outputting the context-specific driving instruction to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
