Dynamic graphical user interface for displaying gaze position on electronic devices

Abstract

1. Name of the product subject to this design: Dynamic graphical user interface for displaying line-of-sight position of electronic device. 2. Purpose of this design: An electronic device. 3. The key design feature of this product is its graphical user interface. 4. The image or photograph that best illustrates the design's key features: the front view. 5. Purpose of a graphical user interface: to display a cursor on the display of an electronic device that detects the user's gaze for input, indicating the detected gaze position (the position seen by the user). 6. Other points requiring explanation: In the various views of this design, the size and shape of the cursor change according to the distance between the user's line of sight and the operation item displayed on the monitor. Specifically, when the cursor is fully separated from the operation item, the cursor has a ring shape of a predetermined size. As the user's line of sight moves from the position where the cursor is separated from the operation item to the operation item, the cursor maintains this ring shape until it overlaps with the operation item. Afterward, when the user's line of sight rests on the operation item, the cursor gradually increases in size and deforms in shape, causing the cursor's outline to change from a ring shape... The cursor gradually overlaps with the outline of the operation item at the point where the outline of the cursor touches the outline of the operation item; when the line of sight is outside the operation item, the cursor returns to a circular shape and shrinks to a predetermined size as the cursor moves away from the operation item; Figure 8 of the main view to the changing state shows the changing state of the cursor as the line of sight moves from diagonally above to the operation item, stays on the operation item, and then moves away from the operation item diagonally above; in addition, Figures 9 to 17 of the changing state show the changing state of the cursor as the line of sight moves from directly above to the operation item, stays on the operation item, and then moves away from the operation item directly above. In addition, to aid understanding, rectangular dashed lines representing the operation items at the center of the display are illustrated in the various views, but they do not constitute the part that is claimed to be protected; this design does not claim protection for color.
