Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for unobtrusively and adaptively displaying a watermark on a display screen based on context sensing and behavior analytics. The techniques can include receiving from a sensor of a user device, information about a focus of attention of a user viewing a display screen of the computing device; determining a placement of a perceptible watermark for displaying onto the display screen based, at least in part, on the focus of attention of the user; causing media content to be displayed on the display screen; and causing the watermark to be displayed on the display screen in a position on the display screen based on the focus of attention of the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving from a sensor of a user device, information about a focus of attention of a user viewing a display screen of a computing device;
- determining a placement of a perceptible watermark for displaying onto the display screen based, at least in part, on the focus of attention of the user;
- determining one or more visual properties of the perceptible watermark based on the focus of attention of the user and contextual data;
- causing media content to be displayed on the display screen;
- and
- causing the perceptible watermark to be displayed on the display screen based on the determined placement and the determined one or more visual properties.
A system comprising:
- a communications system to send media content and watermarking to a user device across a network;
- and
- a server comprising a hardware processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a sensor of a user device, information about a focus of attention of a user viewing a display screen of a computing device;
- determining a placement of a perceptible watermark for displaying onto the display screen based, at least in part, on the focus of attention of the user;
- determining one or more visual properties of the perceptible watermark based on the focus of attention of the user and contextual data;
- causing media content to be displayed on the display screen;
- and
- causing the perceptible watermark to be displayed on the display screen based on the determined placement and the determined one or more visual properties.
An apparatus comprising:
- a display device to provide imagery to a user;
- a sensor to sense characteristics of the user for ascertaining a focus of attention of the user;
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed, cause the hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from the sensor, information about a focus of attention of a user viewing the display device of a computing device;
- determining a placement of a perceptible watermark for displaying onto the display device based, at least in part, on the focus of attention of the user;
- determining one or more visual properties of the perceptible watermark based on the focus of attention of the user and contextual data;
- causing media content to be displayed on the display device;
- and
- causing the perceptible watermark to be displayed on the display device based on the determined placement and the determined one or more visual properties and based on the media content.
