Abstract
A gaze detection, identification and control method includes steps of providing a portable electronic device, performing a continuous image capture on a user through an image capture unit of the portable electronic device to sequentially obtain an initial image and a plurality of detected images, detecting and defining a gaze position of the user according to the initial image, identifying a change amount and a change direction of the gaze position of the user according to the detected images, and sending a control command according to the change amount and the change direction. Therefore, the advantages of easy recognition and time-saving are achieved.
