  • Patent number: 11592898
    Abstract: Techniques for changing the presentation of information on a user interface based on presence are described. In an example, a computer system determines, based on an image sensor associated with the system, a first presence of a first user relative to a computing device. The computer system also determines an identifier of the first user. The identifier is associated with operating the computing device. The operating comprises a presentation of the user interface by the computing device. The computer system also determines, based on the image sensor, a second presence of a second person relative to the computing device. The computer system causes an update to the user interface based on the second presence.

  • Patent number: 10789464
    Abstract: At least one image registering unit records at least one series of images representing a subject. A control unit controls an operation sequence for the at least one image registering unit in such a manner that a subsequent data processing unit receives a repeating sequence of image frames there from, wherein each period contains at least one image frame of a first resolution and at least one image frame of a second resolution being different from the first resolution. Based on the registered image frames, the data processing unit produces eye/gaze tracking data with respect to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190138093
    Abstract: Techniques for updating a user interface on a computer system are described. In an example, the computer system detects a gaze position on the user interface. The user interface includes a first open window and a second open window. The first open window is in a foreground of the user interface. The second open window is in a background of the user interface. The computer system determines a region of the user interface around the gaze position. The computer system also displays a viewer based on the region. The viewer is displayed in the foreground of the user interface and shows a screenshot of at least a portion of the second open window.

  • Publication number: 20060050927
    Abstract: A camera arrangement is mounted on a motor vehicle to detect a human within or outside the vehicle. The output from the camera is processed by a processor to identify any area or areas of the captured image which have a specific spectral content representative of human skin. A processor may determine the position of any identified area within the image and may control or modify the actuation of one or more safety devices. The arrangement may be used in a motor vehicle, and the processor may control or modify the deployment of a safety device, such as an air-bag, depending upon the position of a seat occupant or a safety device for a pedestrain.
