Abstract
Methods and systems for determining an individual gaze value are disclosed herein. An exemplary method involves: (a) receiving gaze data for a first wearable computing device, wherein the gaze data is indicative of a wearer-view associated with the first wearable computing device, and wherein the first wearable computing device is associated with a first user-account; (b) analyzing the gaze data from the first wearable computing device to detect one or more occurrences of one or more advertisement spaces in the gaze data; (c) based at least in part on the one or more detected advertisement-space occurrences, determining an individual gaze value for the first user-account; and (d) sending a gaze-value indication, wherein the gaze-value indication indicates the individual gaze value for the first user-account.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- detecting, by at least one processor, a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view image data received from the wearable device;
- determining a location of the real-world surface;
- determining a gaze-location of a user associated with the wearable device;
- determining, based on the location of the first real-world surface and the gaze-location of the user, a proximity of the gaze-location to the first real-world surface;
- and
- determining, based at least in part on the proximity, a focus value for the real-world surface, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by the user to the real-world surface within a field of view.
A system comprising:
- at least one communication interface operable to communicate with one or more computing devices;
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- and
- program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view (POV) image data received from the wearable device;
- determining, by the at least one processor, a location of the real-world surface;
- determining a gaze-location of a user associated with the wearable device;
- determining, based on the location of the real-world surface and the gaze-location of the user, a proximity of the gaze-location to the real-world surface;
- and
- determining, based at least in part on the proximity, a focus value for the real-world surface, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by the user to the real-world surface.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view (POV) image data received from the wearable device;
- determining, by the at least one processor, a location of the real-world surface;
- determining a gaze-location of a user associated with the wearable device;
- determining, based on the location of the real-world surface and the gaze-location of the user, a proximity of the gaze-location to the real-world surface;
- and
- determining, based at least in part on the proximity, a focus value for the real-world surface, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by the user to the real-world surface.
