Abstract
Systems and methods for a vehicle including an eye tracking device. The systems and methods use input from the eye tracking device. The systems and methods are configured to communicate with a driver based on input from the eye tracking device. For example, the systems and methods are configured to generate indicators on a display based on input from the eye tracking device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a device comprising a processor, display of an indicator on a display of a vehicle, the indicator including an indicator area, wherein the indicator is associated with a vehicle system;
- comparing, by the device, sensor data to a threshold, wherein the sensor data is associated with the vehicle system, wherein the threshold represents a separation between a first state of the vehicle system and a second state of the vehicle system;
- comparing, by the device, gaze location data to the indicator area;
- and
- reducing, by the device, a prominence of the indicator if:
- the sensor data is on a normal state side of the threshold;
- and
- the gaze location data is found in the indicator area.

A method, comprising:
- displaying an indicator on a display of a vehicle, the indicator including an indicator area, wherein the indicator is associated with a vehicle system;
- comparing sensor data to a threshold, wherein the sensor data is associated with the vehicle system, wherein the threshold represents a separation between a first state of the vehicle system and a second state of the vehicle system;
- comparing gaze location data to the indicator area;
- and
- increasing a prominence of the indicator if:
- sensor data is on a critical state side of the threshold;
- and
- gaze location data is not found in the indicator area.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- displaying an indicator on a vehicle display, the indicator including an indicator area;
- calculating a gaze frequency associated with the first indicator, wherein the gaze frequency is calculated over a period of time and is based on at least one of:
- a number of times a gaze location moves into the indicator area;
- and
- a time a gaze location spends in the indicator area;
- and
- determining a prominence at which to set the indicator based on the gaze frequency.
