Abstract
A system and method enable an electronic device to perform gaze or focal tracking operations. The electronic device includes a processor and a display screen. The processor is configured to in response to determining at least one of: a gaze of the user or a focal point of the eye of the user, control at least one of: an operation of the electronic device, or a focal point of an adjustable lens. The display screen is coupled to the processor, and configured to present an image of an object based on at least one of the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye.
Claims24
An electronic device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a gaze of a user and a focal point of an eye of the user, and
- based on information associated with at least one of:
- the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye of the user, control an operation of the electronic device and a focal point of an adjustable lens;
- and
- a display screen, coupled to the processor, configured to present an image of an object based on at least one of the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye, wherein the processor is configured to vary a focus of the object presented on the display screen based on the focal point of the eye.
A method comprising:
- determining, by an electronic device, a gaze of a user and a focal point of an eye of the user;
- based on information associated with at least one of:
- the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye of the user, controlling, by the electronic device, an operation of the electronic device and a focal point of an adjustable lens;
- presenting, by a display screen of the electronic device, an image of an object based on at least one of the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye;
- and
- varying a focus of the object presented on the display screen based on the focal point of the eye.
A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store a plurality of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
- determining a gaze of a user and a focal point of an eye of the user;
- based on information associated with at least one of:
- the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye of the user, control an operation of an electronic device and a focal point of an adjustable lens;
- and
- control a display screen to present an image of an object based on at least one of the gaze of the user or the focal point of the eye, wherein the instructions further are configured to cause the processor to vary a focus of the object presented on the display screen based on the focal point of the eye.
