  • Patent number: 12693737
    Abstract: Methods and devices for gaze-based device interactions are described. During display of a notification on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device, gaze tracking is performed to determine point of gaze locations. It is determined, within a defined time period, that recent point of gaze locations fall within a proxy region of the notification. In response to determining that recent point of gaze locations fall within the proxy region of the notification, the electronic device is operated in a one-handed mode. In the one-handed mode, a touch input detected on the touch-sensitive display outside the notification is processed as an interaction with the notification.
