Abstract: A watermark image may be generated that includes a first set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a first transparency value and a second set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a second transparency value, the second transparency level being different from the first transparency level. The encoded pixels may be distributed among a set of blank pixels such that each encoded pixel neighbors one or more blank pixels in the watermark image, and in particular at least two blank pixels in the watermark image. Herein, each blank pixel may be assigned the second transparency value. The watermark image may be overlaid and blended over a background source image to create an encoded source image. A decoder system may recover encoded information from the encoded source image.

In one instance, the apparatus may comprise a processor and an adaptive content provision module to be operated by the processor. The adaptive content provision module may include a content provision module to generate and provide for display a first view of content captured by first selected one or more of cameras, to a plurality of user devices; an analysis module to receive and analyze user response information provided by the plurality of user devices in response to the displayed first view of content; and a control module to control the content provision module to generate a second view of content captured by second selected one or more of the plurality of cameras, based at least in part on a result of the analysis of the user response information. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, and storage mediums associated with eye movement based knowledge demonstration, having a particular application to authentication, are disclosed. In embodiments, a computing device may determine whether a received input of a pattern of eye movements is consistent with an expected pattern of eye movements of a user when the user attempts to visually locate a piece of information embedded in a display. In embodiments, the expected pattern of eye movements may include patterns related to fixations and/or other statistical patterns, however, may not be limited to such patterns. In applications, determining consistency or correlation with the expected pattern of eye movements may identify the user by simultaneously verifying at least factors of authentication—that of biometric criteria related to a user's pattern of eye movements and a password or other information known to the user.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to creating and using an index based on eye movements of the human eye to store and retrieve images in an image database. An apparatus comprises a processor circuit and a storage communicatively coupled to the processor circuit and storing instructions operative on the processor circuit to receive a first eye movement data associated with a first image provided by the apparatus from an image database stored in the storage; determine a first identity of a first object at a first focus region in the first image indicated by the first eye movement data; search the image database for an image depicting the first object; and provide a second image depicting the first object from the image database. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

Abstract: Methods and systems to identify a portion of content, for each of multiple instances of content presented at a display, based on eye contact of a user, populate records of the portions of content with contextual information, and search a data field(s) of the record to identify content of interest to the user amongst the portions of content. The search may be based on a, without limitation, a user-specified application program, file type, URL, time, display position, content presented at the display prior to, concurrently with, and/or subsequent to presentation of content of interest to the user, and/or an action performed by the user prior to and/or subsequent to a time at which the content of interest to the user had been presented at the display.

Abstract: A device, method, and system for inferring user intent to perform an action on a computing device includes monitoring the eye movement patterns of a user and determining the action to be performed based on the eye movement patterns. Signals relating to the eye movement of the user while observing a display screen of the computing device are processed to produce at least one eye movement feature. One or more classifiers are generated based on a training set of data of the eye movement feature over a time interval in which the user observes the display screen with an intent to activate the action. Thereafter, an eye-movement-pattern of the user may be analyzed, and features may be extracted, as the user is observing the display screen. The intended action is automatically activated if the user intent is inferred using the one or more of the classifiers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products that relate to recording content that a user has observed in a particular area of a display. This area may be referred to herein as a region of interest (ROI). The content observed by the user may be recorded, along with context information pertaining to the content observed. This context information may include a processing context. The recorded information may then be used subsequently to recall content that had been previously observed in the ROI. The user may enter search criteria such as information identifying the location of the ROI and/or the time at which the ROI had been observed. In alternative embodiments, additional or different criteria may be entered by the user, such as a key word, user action context, temporal context, and/or spatial context. The content that had been observed in the ROI may then be presented to the user. This content may be presented within the same processing context in which it had been previously observed, e.g.
