Abstract
Methods and systems for determining an individual gaze value are disclosed herein. An exemplary method involves: (a) receiving gaze data for a first wearable computing device, wherein the gaze data is indicative of a wearer-view associated with the first wearable computing device, and wherein the first wearable computing device is associated with a first user-account; (b) analyzing the gaze data from the first wearable computing device to detect one or more occurrences of one or more advertisement spaces in the gaze data; (c) based at least in part on the one or more detected advertisement-space occurrences, determining an individual gaze value for the first user-account; and (d) sending a gaze-value indication, wherein the gaze-value indication indicates the individual gaze value for the first user-account.
Claims20
A method of operating at least one computing system, the method comprising:
- detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view image data received from the wearable device;
- determining at least one location of the real-world surface in the image data;
- and
- determining, a focus value for the real-world surface based on the at least one location, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by a user to the real-world surface within a field of view.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors for executing a method, comprising:
- detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view image data received from the wearable device;
- determining at least one location of the real-world surface in the image data;
- and
- determining, a focus value for the real-world surface based on the at least one location, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by a user to the real-world surface within a field of view.
A computing apparatus comprising:
- computer-readable storage media;
- at least one processor operatively coupled to the computer-readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
- detecting a real-world surface in image data received from a wearable device, the image data including point-of-view image data received from the wearable device;
- identifying a quantity of movement for the real-world surface between a first frame of the image data and a second frame of the image data;
- and
- determining, a focus value for the real-world surface based on the quantity of movement, the focus value indicating an amount of attention paid by a user to the real-world surface.
