Embodiment 1

[0114] Embodiment 1. A system comprising:

[0115] a set of light sources; and

[0116] a processor operatively coupled to the set of light sources and configured to perform operations including:

[0117] activating a subset of the set of light sources, the subset being smaller than the set;

[0118] determining that light from a first light source in the activated subset of light sources does not reach the user's eyes; and

[0119] Based on the determination, reducing the amount of light emitted from the first light source and activating a second light source of the set of light sources, the second light source not being in the activated subset of light sources.

example 2

[0120] Example 2. The system of example 1, wherein determining that light from the first light source does not reach the user's eyes is based on a proximity sensor proximate to the first light source.

example 3

[0121] Example 3. The system of example 1 or 2, wherein determining that light from the first light source does not reach the user's eyes comprises:

[0122] comparing a first image of the user's eye with a second image of the user's eye; and

[0123] Based on the comparison, it is determined that reflections from a first light source in the activated subset of light sources are present in the first image but not in the second image.

Abstract

The invention relates to a dynamic camera or light operation. A user of a computing device may interact with the computing device through the user's eye movement. An image of the user's eyes or face,captured by a camera on the computing device, may be analyzed using computer-vision algorithms, such as eye tracking and gaze detection algorithms. During use of the computing device, one or more lights illuminating the user, or cameras viewing the user, may become blocked. The device may be equipped with more lights or cameras than are necessary to perform gaze detection by the device. In an over-equipped device, the additional lights or cameras can remain dormant until a blockage is detected. In response to a camera or light becoming blocked, a dormant light or camera can be activated.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an application with an application date of January 07, 2016, an application number of 201680004601.7, and an invention title of "dynamic camera or lamp operation". [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 100,721, filed January 7, 2015, entitled "Dynamic Camera or Light Operation," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0004] The present disclosure relates generally to user interfaces and controls utilizing eye tracking, and more particularly to systems and methods for adjusting light emitting diode (LED) output or camera input during use of an eye tracking system. Background technique [0005] The user's gaze may be determined using eye-tracking technology that determines where the user is looking based on eye information present in images of the user's eyes or face.
