  • Patent number: 11385789
    Abstract: Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for interacting with displayed items. A contact point can be established with a surface of a contact panel and the contact panel can be operated in a navigation mode during which a selection element, for selecting one or more items of a user interface (UI) in a display of a second device, is maintained at a determined location in the display. The UI can be moved in the display relative to the selection element as the selection element is maintained at the determined location, by moving the contact point on the surface of the contact panel in the navigation mode. At least one item of the UI that is moved within a selection threshold of the selection element can be selected by removing the contact point with the contact panel.

  • Patent number: 10013056
    Abstract: A user of a computing device may interact with and control objects and applications displayed on the computing device through the user's eye movement. Detected gaze locations are correlated with actions performed by the user and compared with typical gaze locations for those actions. Based on differences between the detected and expected gaze locations, the eye tracking system can be recalibrated. An area around a gaze location encompassing a set of likely active locations can be enlarged, effectively prompting the user to interact with the desired active location again. The enlarging of the area serves to separate the active locations on the screen, reducing the probability of interpreting the user's gaze incorrectly.

  • Patent number: 9798382
    Abstract: Methods and systems to facilitate eye tracking data analysis are provided. Point of regard information from a first client device of a first user is received, where the point of regard information is determined by the first client device by detecting one or more eye features associated with an eye of the first user. The point of regard information is stored. A request to access the point of regard information is received, and the point of regard information is sent in response to the request, where the point of regard information is used in a subsequent operation.
