Publication number: 20170357314Abstract: The present invention relates to control of a computer system, which includes a data processing unit, a display and an eye tracker adapted to register a user's gaze point with respect to the display The data processing unit is adapted to present graphical information on the display, which includes feedback data reflecting the user's commands entered into the unit. The data processing unit is adapted to present the feedback data such that during an initial phase, the feedback data is generated based on an absolute position of the gaze point. An imaging device of the system is also adapted to register image data representing movements of a body part of the user, and to forward a representation of the image data to the data processing unit. Hence, during a phase subsequent to the initial phase, the data is instead generated based on the image data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: John ELVESJÖ, Anders OLSSON, Johan SAHLÉN

Patent number: 9830513Abstract: A method for panning content on a display of a wearable device is disclosed. The method may include determining, via an eye tracking device, a gaze direction of a user. The method may also include determining, via a movement detection system, a head direction of the user. The method may further include, based at least in part on the gaze direction and the head direction both being consistent with a particular direction, causing content displayed on a display of the wearable device to be panned in the particular direction. The method may additionally include determining during panning of the content, via the eye tracking device, that the gaze direction of the user has returned to a neutral position. The method may moreover include, based at least in part on the gaze direction of the user returning to the neutral position, causing content displayed on the display to stop panning.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Tobii ABInventors: Simon Gustafsson, Henrik Björk, Fredrik Lindh, Anders Olsson

Patent number: 9766699Abstract: A gaze tracking system, leaving a low power mode in response to an activation signal, captures an initial burst of eye pictures in short time by restricting the image area of a sensor, with the purpose of enabling an increased frame rate. Subsequent eye pictures are captured at normal frame rate. The first gaze point value is computed memorylessly based on the initial burst of eye pictures and no additional imagery, while subsequent values may be computed recursively by taking into account previous gaze point values or information from previous eye pictures. The restriction of the image area may be guided by a preliminary overview picture captured using the same or a different sensor. From the gaze point values, the system may derive a control signal to be supplied to a computer device with a visual display.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: TOBII ABInventors: Mårten Skogö, Anders Olsson, John Mikael Elvesjö, Aron Yu

Publication number: 20170177078Abstract: A computer system can be controlled with non-contact inputs through zonal control. In an embodiment, a non-contact input that is an eye-tracking device is used to track the gaze of a user. A computer's display, and beyond, can be separated into a number of discrete zones according to a configuration. Each zone is associated with a computer function. The zones and/or their functions can, but need not, be indicated to the user. The user can perform the various functions by moving gaze towards the zone associated with that function and providing an activation signal of intent. The activation signal of intent can be a contact-required or non-contact action, such as a button press or dwelling gaze, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Applicant: Tobii ABInventors: David Figgins Henderek, Anders Olsson, Magnus Carl Olof Sävmarker, Staffan Wingren

Publication number: 20170090566Abstract: A method and system for assisting a user when interacting with a graphical user interface combines gaze based input with gesture based user commands. A user of a computer system without a traditional touch-screen can interact with graphical user interfaces in a touch-screen like manner using a combination of gaze based input and gesture based user commands. A solution for touch-screen like interaction uses gaze input and gesture based input as a complement or an alternative to touch-screen interactions with a computer device having a touch-screen. Combined gaze and gesture based interaction with graphical user interfaces can be used to achieve a touchscreen like environment in computer systems without a traditional touchscreen or in computer systems having a touchscreen arranged ergonomically unfavorable for the user or a touchscreen arranged such that it is more comfortable for the user to use gesture and gaze for the interaction than the touchscreen.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Applicant: Tobii ABInventors: Erland George-Svahn, Dzenan Dzemidzic, Anders Vennström, Ida Nilsson, Anders Olsson, Rebecka Lannsjö, Mårten Skogö

Patent number: 9373078Abstract: Systems and methods to provide predictive alerting are disclosed. Trends and characteristics in the data may be identified in advance of actual occurrence, with an expected event being predicted or extrapolated based on data and a predictive model associated with stored and/or incoming data. This may be done by, for example, developing a set of rules associated with the model that may then be used to trigger predictive alerts based on predicted trends. Various data and associated characteristics may be determined based on past data and/or analogous data taken from similarly modeled systems. For example, seasonal trends may be factored into the model so that a prediction is based on both a received set of data and expected seasonal (or other temporal) trends. Various other characteristics may also be used in the predictive model.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Anametrix, Inc.Inventors: Anders Olsson, Roman Jugai, Andreas Jonsson
