Setting up a communication via analysis of eye movements

A method for communication between a first terminal of a first user and a second terminal of a second user each comprising a device for establishing a communication to at least one terminal by analyzing eye movements of a user, said terminals having at least, respectively, a first and a second camera and at least, respectively, a first and a second area of interest associated, respectively, with the second and with the first terminal, and wherein the method comprises:

• said camera of said first terminal capturing the eye movements of said first user,
• said camera of said second terminal capturing the eye movements of said second user,
• said first terminal analyzing the eye movements captured by said first terminal,
• said second terminal analyzing the eye movements captured by said second terminal,
• said first terminal evaluating a first duration for which the analysis of the eye movements indicates that a gaze of the user of the first terminal remains directed toward said first area of interest, and in response to the evaluation indicating that this duration is greater than a first threshold, said first terminal transmitting at least one first message to said at least one second terminal,
• said second terminal evaluating a second duration for which the analysis of the eye movements indicates that a gaze of the user of the second terminal remains directed toward said second area of interest, and in response to the evaluation indicating that this second duration is greater than a second threshold, said second terminal transmitting at least one second message to said at least one first terminal,
• establishing a communication between said first terminal and said second terminal if said at least one second message is received, following the transmitting performed on said first terminal, by said at least one first terminal within a time interval.

A device for establishing a communication to at least one terminal of at least one second user by analyzing eye movements of a first user, wherein the device comprises:

• at least one camera, and at least one area of interest associated, via an item of identification data, with said at least one terminal of said at least one second user,
• a transceiver configured to transmit at least one first message to said at least one terminal identified via said item of identification data,
• an analysis module configured to analyze the eye movements of said first user as captured by said camera, and
• an evaluation module configured to evaluate a duration for which the analysis of the eye movements indicates that a gaze of the first user remains directed toward said area of interest.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon for implementing a method for establishing a communication to at least one terminal of at least one second user by analyzing eye movements of a first user, when the instructions are executed by a processor a device of the first user, said device having at least one camera and at least one area of interest associated, via an item of identification data, with said at least one terminal of said at least one second user, and wherein the method comprises:

• said camera capturing the eye movements,
• analyzing the captured eye movements,
• evaluating a duration for which the analysis of the eye movements indicates that a gaze of said first user remains directed toward said area of interest, and
• in response to the evaluation indicating that this duration is greater than a threshold,
• transmitting at least one first message to said at least one terminal identified via said item of identification data.
