Abstract
A method of controlling an operation of a display device using eye movements and a device for performing the method are provided. The method includes receiving eye movement information of a user; receiving blinking information of the user; generating a control command corresponding to the eye movement information and the blinking information; and controlling an operation of the display device based on the generated control command.
Claims17
A method of controlling a device comprising:
- receiving eye movement information of a user;
- dividing a display of the display device except an area in which contents are displayed into a plurality of areas;
- identifying a gazed position within a display area of the device based on the eye movement information of the user;
- identifying an area of the plurality of areas, based on the gazed position;
- determining whether a control command is associated with the area that is identified;
- and
- controlling an operation of the device based on the control command in response to determining that a control command is associated with the area that is identified.
A device for operating based on eye movements of a user, the device comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to implement:
- a screen divider configured to divide the display except an area in which contents are displayed into a plurality of areas;
- an eye movement information receiver configured to receive information about eye movements of a user, identify a gazed position within a display area of the device based on the eye movement information of the user, and
- a control command generator configured to identify an area of the plurality of areas, based on the gazed position, determine whether a control command is associated with the area that is identified, and control an operation of the device based on the control command in response to determining that a control command is associated with the area that is identified.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a device to cause the device to:
- receive eye movement information of a user;
- divide a display of the device except an area in which contents are displayed into a plurality of areas;
- identify a gazed position within a display area of the device based on the eye movement information of the user;
- identify an area of the plurality of areas, based on the gazed position;
- determine whether a control command is associated with the area that is identified;
- and
- control an operation of the device based on the control command in response to determining that a control command is associated with the area that is identified.
