Abstract
Content subject matter areas of interest to a user viewing a social network activity stream are determined using iterative eye-gaze analysis to determine content at locations viewed by the user within the social network activity stream, and further using image and text analysis of the viewed content based upon frequencies of occurrence of words and image types within the viewed content. Portions of new content appearing in the social network activity stream determined to include the content subject matter areas of interest to the user are emphasized to attract the user's attention.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining content subject matter areas of interest to a user viewing a social network activity stream using (i) iterative eye-gaze analysis to determine content at locations viewed by the user within the social network activity stream and (ii) further image and text analysis of the viewed content based upon frequencies of occurrence of words and image types within the viewed content;
- and
- emphasizing portions of new content appearing in the social network activity stream determined to comprise the content subject matter areas of interest to the user to attract the user's attention.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- determine content subject matter areas of interest to a user viewing a social network activity stream using (i) iterative eye-gaze analysis to determine content at locations viewed by the user within the social network activity stream and (ii) further image and text analysis of the viewed content based upon frequencies of occurrence of words and image types within the viewed content;
- and
- emphasize portions of new content appearing in the social network activity stream determined to comprise the content subject matter areas of interest to the user to attract the user's attention.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, where the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se and where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- determine content subject matter areas of interest to a user viewing a social network activity stream using (i) iterative eye-gaze analysis to determine content at locations viewed by the user within the social network activity stream and (ii) further image and text analysis of the viewed content based upon frequencies of occurrence of words and image types within the viewed content;
- and
- emphasize portions of new content appearing in the social network activity stream determined to comprise the content subject matter areas of interest to the user to attract the user's attention.
