Problems solved by technology

[0002] Currently, there are mainly two types of e-readers on the market: button type or touch screen type, that is, the page turning operation is performed through the buttons set on the e-reader, or the touch screen is used to directly click and slide on the e-reader screen to turn pages. Whether it is a button-type or a touch-screen e-reader, the user needs to manually operate according to the reading speed and progress. When the user's hands are occupied, it is very inconvenient to use the above-mentioned e-reader
[0003] In addition, with the development of e-readers, there are more and more ways for people to interact with e-readers. However, traditional human-computer interaction devices such as buttons and touch screens have certain limitations in terms of naturalness and friendliness in use. sex

Embodiment 1

[0078] refer to figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of split-screen display of the display screen of the electronic reader provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. A camera 6 is provided above the display screen of the electronic reader based on gaze tracking and automatic page turning in the present invention. The camera 6 acquires the user's facial image information and sends it to the image information receiving module 332 for storage, and then the image information receiving module 332 sends it to the microprocessor. device 1. Below the camera 6 is a display screen. In this embodiment, the display screen is divided into upper and lower regions for display respectively.

[0079] combined at the same time Figure 5 As shown, it is a working flow chart of the electronic reader according to the first embodiment of the present invention. When the user uses the electronic reader of the present invention to browse electronic books, the image informa...

Embodiment 2

[0086] Image 6 It is a schematic diagram of split-screen display on a display screen of an electronic reader provided by the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] In this embodiment, the camera 6 is still placed on the same side of the display screen of the electronic reader, and is used to obtain the image information of the user. The display screen is divided into two areas, left and right, which can display the reading content respectively, and automatically turn pages according to the movement of the line of sight. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is only that the display screen is divided into left and right partitions, and the functional structure and working principle of the electronic reader are completely the same, and will not be described in detail.

[0088] In this embodiment, to determine which area of ​​the display screen the user's sight is located in, the leftmost bottom end of the display screen is also used as t...

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic reader capable of automatically turning pages based on eye tracking, which belongs to the technical field of electronic information. The electronic reader comprises a display, an image acquisition unit and a microprocessor. The display comprises a display unit and a display screen. The display screen is divided into two areas. The image information acquisition unit is used for acquiring the facial image information of a user. The microprocessor comprises a sight positioning and detecting unit and an information processing unit. The sight positioning and detecting unit is used for analyzing and processing the facial image information of the user and determining the display area where the sight of the user is. The information processing unit is used forcomparing the areas where the current and previous sights of the user are. If the current sight area of the user is different from the previous one, the processor module refreshes the displayed content in the display area where the previous sight of the user is. The invention realizes to pre-refresh and turn pages in advance and accurately represent the content for the user, thereby avoiding the manual operation, saving the time and implementing the browsing continuity of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic information, and relates to an electronic reader, in particular to an electronic reader for automatically turning pages based on sight tracking and a method for automatically turning pages based on sight tracking. Background technique [0002] At present, there are two main types of e-readers on the market: button type or touch screen type, that is, the page turning operation is performed through the keys set on the e-reader, or the touch screen is used to directly click and slide on the e-reader screen to turn pages. Whether it is a button type or a touch screen type e-reader, the user needs to perform manual operations according to the reading speed and progress. When the user's hands are occupied, it is very inconvenient to use the above-mentioned e-reader. [0003] In addition, with the development of e-readers, there are more and more ways of interaction between people and e-readers. Howev...
