Abstract
A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium displays information to a user. Market data having a first portion and a second portion is displayed on a display unit of a trading device. A user focus area is detected, at the trading device. The user focus area is associated with one of the first and second portions of the market data. A first priority is assigned to the one of the first and second portions of the market data and a second priority is assigned to another one of the first and second portions of the market data. The first priority is higher than the second priority. The market data in the first and second portions is updated as a function of the first and second priorities, respectively.

A system including:
- a trading device including a display unit, a tracking mechanism, a gaze control application, and a display manager, wherein the tracking mechanism includes a sensor, wherein the trading device is configured to:
- receive gaze position data for a user from a sensor of a tracking mechanism of the trading device, wherein the gaze position data represents the user's gaze with respect to a display unit of the trading device;
- determine a user focus area of the display unit based ona field of foveal vision for the user and the gaze position data, wherein the user focus area is associated with a first portion of market data displayed by the display unit of the trading device;
- determine a plurality of sub-portion area of the display unit, wherein the plurality of sub-portion areas do not include the user focus area, wherein each sub-portion area is associated with sub-portion of the market data displayed by the display unit of the trading device;
- assign, in response to determining the user focus area, a first priority to the first portion of the market data;
- assign, in response to determining the plurality of sub-portion areas, a priority to each sub-portion of the market data, wherein the first priority is higher than the priorities of the sub-portions of the market data, wherein the priority of each sub-poriton of the market data is determined as a function of a respective proximity of the corresponding sub-portion area to the user focus area;
- modify a first rate of updating for the first portion of the market data prior to being displayed in the user focus area, wherein the first rate of updating is modified based on the assigned first priority;
- modify a rate of updating for each sub-portion of the market data prior to being displayed in the corresponding sub-portion area, wherein the rate of updating for each sub-poriton of the market data is modified based on the corresponding assigned priority, wherein the first rate of updating is faster than the rates of updating of the sub-portions of the market data;
- and
- display the market data in the first portion and the market data in the sub-portions according to their respective modified rates of updating.
