Abstract
An electronic apparatus according to the present invention acquires right line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a right eye of a user, and a left line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a left eye of the user, determines a first distance, which is a distance from the user to an intersection of the line-of-sight of the right eye and the line-of-sight of the left eye, and a second distance, which is a distance from the user to an object existing between the user and the intersection, on a basis of the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information; and controls setting of predetermined processing based on the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information, on a basis of a difference between the first distance and the second distance.
Claims16
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic apparatus to:
- execute acquisition processing of acquiring right line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a right eye of a user, and left line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a left eye of the user;
- execute determination processing of determining a first distance, which is a distance from the user to an intersection of the line-of-sight of the right eye and the line-of-sight of the left eye, and a second distance, which is a distance from the user to an object existing between the user and the intersection, on a basis of the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information;
- and
- execute control processing controlling setting of predetermined processing based on the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information, on a basis of a difference between the first distance and the second distance, wherein
- in the control processing, the predetermined processing is set to enable in a case where it is determined that a degree of gaze is high on a basis of the difference, and the predetermined processing is set to disable in a case where it is determined that the degree of gaze is low on a basis of the difference, and
- the predetermined processing includes processing to create a heat map of a line-of-sight position of the user.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic apparatus to:
- execute first acquisition processing of acquiring first information on a position in a depth direction of a field-of-view of a user, the first information being based on first line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a right eye of the user and second line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a left eye of the user;
- execute second acquisition processing of acquiring second information on a position in the depth direction of a target which is set based on at least one of the first line-of-sight information and the second line-of-sight information;
- and
- execute control processing of controlling predetermined processing based on at least one of the first line-of-sight information and the second line-of-sight information, on a basis of the first information and the second information, wherein
- in the control processing, the predetermined processing is set to enable in a case where it is determined that a degree of gaze is high on a basis of a difference between the first information and the second information, and the predetermined processing is set to disable in a case where it is determined that the degree of gaze is low on a basis of the difference, and
- the predetermined processing includes processing to create a heat map of a line-of-sight position of the user.
A control method of an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- acquiring right line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a right eye of a user, and left line-of-sight information on a line-of-sight of a left eye of the user;
- determining a first distance, which is a distance from the user to an intersection of the line-of-sight of the right eye and the line-of-sight of the left eye, and a second distance, which is a distance from the user to an object existing between the user and the intersection, on a basis of the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information;
- and
- controlling setting of predetermined processing based on the right line-of-sight information and the left line-of-sight information, on a basis of a difference between the first distance and the second distance, wherein
- the predetermined processing is set to enable in a case where it is determined that a degree of gaze is high on a basis of the difference, and the predetermined processing is set to disable in a case where it is determined that the degree of gaze is low on a basis of the difference, and
- the predetermined processing includes processing to create a heat map of a line-of-sight position of the user.
