Abstract
According to the invention, a method for modifying operation of at least one system of a vehicle based at least in part on a gaze direction of a driver is disclosed. The method may include receiving gaze data indicative of the gaze direction of a driver of a vehicle. The method may also include modifying operation of at least one system of the vehicle based at least in part on the gaze data.
Claims21
(canceled)
A system for modifying operation of at least one subsystem of a vehicle based at least in part on a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle, wherein the system comprises:
- an eye tracking device for receiving gaze data indicative of a gaze direction of a driver of a vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine, based on the gaze data, that the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- determine, based on the gaze data, at least one of:
- a frequency at which the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- or
- a length of time during which the driver is continuously gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- and
- modify operation of at least one subsystem of the vehicle based at least in part on the frequency or the length of time.
A method for modifying operation of at least one subsystem of a vehicle based at least in part on a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving gaze data indicative of a gaze direction of a driver of a vehicle;
- determining, based on the gaze data, that the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- determining, based on the gaze data, at least one of:
- a frequency at which the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- or
- a length of time during which the driver is continuously gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- and
- modifying operation of at least one subsystem of the vehicle based at least in part on the frequency or the length of time.
A non-transitory machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon for modifying operation of at least one subsystem of a vehicle based at least in part on a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle, wherein the instructions are executable by one or more processors for at least:
- receiving gaze data indicative of a gaze direction of a driver of a vehicle;
- determining, based on the gaze data, that the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- determining, based on the gaze data, at least one of:
- a frequency at which the driver is gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- or
- a length of time during which the driver is continuously gazing at locations inside the vehicle;
- and
- modifying operation of at least one subsystem of the vehicle based at least in part on the frequency or the length of time.
