Abstract
A method of controlling a device is provided. The method includes receiving eye movement information of a user. A gazed position within a display area of the device is identified based on the eye movement information of the user. A position of a cursor corresponding to the gazed position is corrected based on the eye movement information. A control command corresponding to an area within the display area of the device is generated, based on the gazed position and the eye movement information. An operation of the device is controlled based on the control command.
Claims19
(canceled)
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the stored instructions to at least:
- obtain eye action related information of a user by using a camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained eye action related information of the user, perform a minute input adjustment function;
- based at least on the performing the minute input adjustment function, control to display, on the display of the electronic device, a rectangular frame and a cursor corresponding to first eye gazed position related information of the user, wherein the cursor is located within the rectangular frame;
- obtain second eye gazed position related information of the user by using the camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained second eye gazed position related information of the user, identify a direction for minutely moving the cursor;
- and
- minutely move, on the display of the electronic device, the cursor located within the rectangular frame in the identified direction.
A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining eye action related information of a user by using a camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained eye action related information of the user, performing a minute input adjustment function;
- based at least on the performing the minute input adjustment function, displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a rectangular frame and a cursor corresponding to first eye gazed position related information of the user, wherein the cursor is located within the rectangular frame;
- obtaining second eye gazed position related information of the user by using the camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained second eye gazed position related information of the user, identifying a direction for minutely moving the cursor;
- and
- minutely moving, on the display of the electronic device, the cursor located within the rectangular frame in the identified direction.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor of an electronic device to cause the at least one processor to at least:
- obtain eye action related information of a user by using a camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained eye action related information of the user, perform a minute input adjustment function;
- based at least on the performing the minute input adjustment function, control to display, on a display of the electronic device, a rectangular frame and a cursor corresponding to first eye gazed position related information of the user, wherein the cursor is located within the rectangular frame;
- obtain second eye gazed position related information of the user by using the camera device coupled to the electronic device;
- based at least on the obtained second eye gazed position related information of the user, identify a direction for minutely moving the cursor;
- and
- minutely move, on the display of the electronic device, the cursor located within the rectangular frame in the identified direction.
