Eye tracking systems and methods with efficient text entry input features

An electronic device with text entry features, comprising:

• a display device configured to electronically display a user interface to a user;
• a processing device configured to analyze aspects of said user interface to electronically determine when text entry needs to occur within a control element in the user interface;
• wherein said processing device is further configured upon determination that text entry needs to occur within the user interface to provide for display a selectable interface element to a user that upon selection invokes an on-screen keyboard with text entry area;
• and
• wherein said processing device is further configured to receive input from a user via eye-controlled selection of selectable interface items available in the on-screen keyboard;
• and
• wherein said processing device is further configured to relay input received from a user via eye-controlled selection of selectable interface items available in the on-screen keyboard to the control element in the user interface requiring text entry.

A computer-implemented method of providing input features for a computing system, comprising:

• electronically determining by one or more computing devices when text entry needs to occur within a control element in a user interface;
• electronically presenting, by the one or more computing devices, a selectable interface element to a user that upon selection invokes an on-screen keyboard having a text entry area;
• receiving, by the one or more computing devices, electronic input from a user via eye-controlled selection of buttons provided via the on-screen keyboard;
• and
• electronically relaying, by the one or more computing devices, the input received from a user via the on-screen keyboard to the control element in the user interface requiring text entry.
