Abstract

A system and method are provided for managing data being displayed on at least one monitor screen based on monitoring user's attention in relation to the monitor screen. In one embodiment, upon detecting that the user's attention is leaving at least a portion of a screen, the system may alert the user of such an event. Alternatively, the system could alert the user upon detecting a triggering condition while the user's attention is away from the at least a portion of the screen. The step of alerting the user may include modifying at least a portion of a display on a monitor not being viewed by the user. Additionally, the system may initiate preparation of a report including any data not being viewed by a user during the time period when the user is not viewing a portion of the monitor.

A system including:

a computing device,
wherein the computing device is configured to receive real-time market data related to a tradeable object listed by an electronic exchange;
wherein the computing device is configured to display a trading application interface to a user on a display unit, wherein the trading application interface is generated based at least in part on the real-time market data being received;
wherein the computing device is configured to detect that the user's attention has shifted away from the trading application interface based at least in part on monitoring the user's gaze in relation to the trading application interface;
wherein the computing device is configured to start a recording of the real-time market data being received, wherein the recording is started in response to detecting that the user's attention has shifted away from the trading application interface, wherein the trading application interface continues to be updated with the real-time market data being received by the computing device while the user's attention has shifted away from the trading application interface;
wherein the computing device is configured to detect that the user's attention has shifted back to the trading application interface subsequent to detecting that the user's attention has shifted away from the trading application interface;
wherein the computing device is configured to stop the recording of the real-time market data being received, wherein the recording is stopped in response to detecting that the user's attention has shifted back to the trading application interface;
wherein the computing device is configured to identify one or more events based on the recording of the real-time market data received while the user's attention was shifted away from the trading application interface;
wherein the computing device is configured to generate a report including the one or more identified events;
and
wherein the computing device is configured to display the report to the user.
