Patent number: 10398301Abstract: Cognitive function testing. At least some of example embodiments are methods including performing a cognitive function test on a patient without calibrating pupil position of the patient. The performing may include: causing a visual cue on a computer screen in front of the patient to move in a predetermined pattern; reading frames from an eye camera that captures images of an eye of the patient while the visual cue moves on the computer screen and the patient visually tracks the visual cue; determining pupil position within the frames; correcting offsets between the stimulus data and the pupil position data; translating the pupil position data from a coordinate space of the eye camera to a coordinate space of the stimulus data; and generating a test score being the cumulative distance between the stimulus data and pupil position data for each corresponding point in time.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: EYEGUIDE, INC.Inventors: Nathan A. Jahnke, J. Brian Still, Gregory L. Gamel, Benedicto C. Baronia

Patent number: 9910490Abstract: Cursor position control based on the vestibulo-ocular reflex. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: creating a first video stream, the first video stream depicting an eye of user of a computer system, wherein a pupil of the eye changes position relative to a face of the user during use of the computer system by the user; tracking pupil position relative to the face of the user, the tracking by way of the first video stream; moving a cursor position on the display device, the moving responsive to changes in pupil position relative to the face of the user, and the moving in real time with pupil position changes; and adjusting cursor position based on the vestibulo-ocular reflex.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2011Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: EYEGUIDE, INC.Inventor: Nathan A. Jahnke

Patent number: 9292086Abstract: Correlating pupil position to gaze location within a scene. Illustrative embodiments may include correlating pupil position of a user to gaze location within a scene viewed by the user. The correlating may include: illuminating an eye of the user, the eye containing the pupil, and the illuminating with light; creating a first video stream depicting the eye; creating a second video stream depicting the scene in front of the user; determining pupil position within the first video stream; calculating gaze location in the second video stream based on pupil position in the first video stream; and sending an indication of the gaze location in the second video stream to a computer system.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Grinbath, LLCInventors: Nathan A. Jahnke, J. Brian Still

Patent number: 8860660Abstract: Determining pupil center position. At least some illustrative embodiments are methods including: creating a video signal of an eye, the video signal comprising a stream of frames; and finding an indication of pupil position. The finding may include: calculating a set of feature points within a first frame of the video signal; dividing, by the computer system, the first frame of the video signal into a plurality of sections; selecting a plurality of feature points from the first frame, at least one feature point selected from each section; and determining an ellipse from the plurality of feature points. The method may further include moving a cursor on a display device responsive to change in location of a feature of the ellipse with respect to a previous feature of an ellipse from a previous frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Grinbath, LLCInventor: Nathan A. Jahnke
