Abstract
Methods, devices and systems for enabling a specific registered user to log into a computerized system having multiple registered users by continuously staring at a display associated with the computerized system for at least a pre-determined threshold duration, without requiring any input other than staring to initiate the login process, and without requiring the user to provide any additional login information or authentication information.
Claims24
A method for logging into a computerized system having multiple registered users, the method comprising:
- A) obtaining multiple images from an imaging device associated with the computerized system;
- B) detecting a specific person appearing in at least some of said multiple images;
- C) detecting, in said at least some of said multiple images, a direction of gaze in which said specific person is looking;
- D) based only on (i) said detected direction of gaze being toward a display associated with the computerized system, and (ii) said detected direction of gaze being continuously kept by said specific person toward any location on said display for at least a pre-defined threshold duration, identifying that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system by staring at said display;
- E) identifying said specific person to be a specific registered user of the multiple registered users of the computerized system;
- F) subsequent to said detecting identifying that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and subsequent to said identifying of said specific person to be said specific registered user of the computerized system, displaying on said display data that is customized to said specific registered user,
- wherein, said identifying that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and said displaying on said display data that is customized to said specific registered user are both carried out without receiving from said specific person any request to log into the computerized system other than by said staring at any location on said display, and without said specific person providing any additional login information or authentication information.

A device for logging into a computerized system having multiple registered users, the device being functionally associated with the computerized system, with a display, and with an imaging device, the device comprising:
- a. a processor;
- and
- b. a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for instructions execution by the processor, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored:
- i. instructions, that when executed by said processor, receive multiple images of a vicinity of the display from the imaging device;
- ii. instructions, that when executed by said processor, detect a specific person appearing in at least some of said multiple images;
- iii. instructions, that when executed by said processor, detect, in said at least some of said multiple images, a direction of gaze in which said specific person is looking;
- iv. instructions, that when executed by said processor, identify, based only on (i) said detected direction of gaze being toward the display, and (ii) said detected direction of gaze being continuously kept by said specific person toward any location on the display for at least a pre-defined threshold duration, that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system by staring at the display;
- v. instructions, that when executed by said processor, identify said specific person to be a specific registered user of the multiple registered users of the computerized system;
- vi. instructions, that when executed by said processor, display on the display data that is customized to said specific registered user, said instructions that when executed by said processor display data that is customized to be executed subsequent to execution of said instructions that when executed by said processor identify that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and subsequent to execution of said instructions that when executed by said processor identify said specific person to be said specific registered user of the computerized system,
- wherein said instructions that identify that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and said instructions that display data that is customized to said specific registered user are both executed by said processor without receiving from said specific person any request to log into the computerized system other than by said staring at any location on the display, and without said specific person providing any additional login information or authentication information.

A computerized system enabling logging in for viewing customized data, the computerized system having multiple registered users, the computerized system comprising:
- a. a display;
- b. an imaging device, adapted to capture multiple images of a vicinity of said display;
- and
- c. a controller including:
- i) a processor;
- and
- ii) a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for instructions execution by the processor, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored:
- A) instructions, that when executed by said processor, receive multiple images from said imaging device;
- B) instructions, that when executed by said processor, detect a specific person appearing in at least some of said multiple images;
- C) instructions, that when executed by said processor, detect, in said at least some of said multiple images, a direction of gaze in which said specific person is looking;
- D) instructions, that when executed by said processor, identify, only based on (i) said detected direction of gaze being toward said display, and (ii) said detected direction of gaze being continuously kept by said specific person toward any location on said display for at least a pre-defined threshold duration, that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system by staring at said display;
- E) instructions, that when executed by said processor, identify said specific person to be a specific registered user of the multiple registered users of the computerized system;
- F) instructions, that when executed by said processor, display on said display data that is customized to said specific registered user, said instructions that when executed by said processor display data that is customized to be executed subsequent to execution of said instructions that when executed by said processor identify that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and subsequent to execution of said instructions that when executed by said processor identify said specific person to be said specific registered user of the computerized system,
- wherein said instructions that identify that said specific person is attempting to log into the computerized system and said instructions that display data that is customized to said specific registered user are both executed by said processor without receiving from said specific person any request to log into the computerized system other than by said staring at any location on said display, and without said specific person providing any additional login information or authentication information.
