  • Patent number: 10943109
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a light emitting unit configured to alternately emit light having a preset pattern to an eye area of a user; an inputter configured to receive a plurality of images which capture an eye area of the user; and a processor configured to detect a user's gaze using a first image that is captured at the time of irradiating a preset first pattern and a second image that is captured at the time of irradiating a preset second pattern, and the processor detects a user's gaze by extracting reflection points of each of the first image and the second image and using remaining reflection points excluding reflection points at a same position from among the extracted reflection points.

  • Patent number: 10817054
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes an inputter configured to receive a binocular image which is a captured image of both eyes of a user and a stereo image which is an image of a direction corresponding to a gaze of the user captured at locations spaced apart from each other, and a processor configured to detect a watch point of a user in the stereo image by using the binocular image, obtain a disparity map in the input stereo image, and compensate the detected watch point using the obtained disparity map.
