  • Apparatus and method for eye tracking interface
    Patent number: 5517021
    Abstract: An eye tracking interface system for generating communication and control functions as a result of pre-defined eye gestures is disclosed. The system includes a detecting device adapted to detect bio-electromagnetic signals generated by eye movements. A first processor receives the detected bio-electromagnetic signals, and generate tokens corresponding to said pre-defined eye gestures. A second processor receives the tokens, and generates command signals based on a protocol correlating tokens to desired command signals. Thereafter, a user interface responds to said command signals, and provides control functions in response to said command signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 1994
    Date of Patent: May 14, 1996
    Assignee: The Research Foundation State University of New York
