Abstract
According to the invention, a method for changing information on a display in a vehicle based on a gaze direction of a driver is disclosed. The method may include displaying information on the display in the vehicle. The method may also include receiving gaze data indicative of the gaze direction of a user. The method may further include changing the display based at least in part on the gaze data.
Claims20
A method for controlling a vehicle system based on a gaze direction of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving a maintained activation signal from an input device activated by a non-gaze, maintained interaction with a user;
- receiving a release activation signal from the input device, subsequent to the maintained activation signal, wherein the release activation signal is activated by releasing the non-gaze interaction with the input device;
- in response to receiving the maintained activation signal, determining a gaze position of the user on a display of a vehicle;
- determining a vehicle system to control based on the gaze position determined in response to receiving the release activation signal;
- and
- in response to receiving the release activation signal, modifying operation of the vehicle system.
A method for controlling a vehicle system based on a gaze direction of a user, the method comprising:
- determining a gaze position of a user on a display of a vehicle;
- determining a vehicle system to control based on the gaze position;
- receiving an activation signal from an input device activated by a non-gaze interaction with the user;
- in response to receiving the activation signal, modifying operation of the vehicle system.
A system for controlling a vehicle system based on a gaze direction of a user comprising:
- an eye tracking device;
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive a maintained activation signal from an input device activated by a non-gaze maintained interaction with a user;
- receive a release activation signal from the input device, subsequent to the maintained activation signal, wherein the release activation signal is activated by releasing the non-gaze interaction with the input device;
- in response to receiving the maintained activation signal, determine a gaze position of the user using the eye tracking device;
- determine a vehicle system to control based on the gaze position determined in response to receiving the maintained activation signal;
- in response to receiving the release activation signal, modifying operation of the vehicle system.
