Eye Tracking Display Control for Video Chat Content Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video chatting systems lack user convenience in controlling multiple content displays on a single screen, particularly when performing video chatting while viewing other content, as they do not provide efficient methods for switching between different types of content or adjusting their display settings.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that detects user operations to switch between a first display state showing only one type of content and a second display state showing multiple types of content, allowing users to easily control the display of video chatting images and other content, such as television programs, by using a trigger operation that can include line of sight or body movements to adjust the content layout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications are simultaneously executed with multiple content displayed on a display screen, then user freedom in content selection is improved, but user convenience in display control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the user's line of sight direction and switches display states accordingly, eliminating the need for manual control operations. The display control apparatus serves itself by using eye tracking technology to understand user intent and adjust the display configuration automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control (buttons, switches, menu navigation) with an optical detection system that tracks eye movements. This substitution allows the system to interpret user intent through line of sight detection, providing a more natural and convenient control method.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a plurality of pieces of content are displayed on a display screen, then content variety is improved, but display control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control apparatus automatically manages the complexity of controlling multiple content displays by detecting user line of sight and autonomously switching between different display states, eliminating the need for complex manual control interfaces.
3Ease of operation
If video chatting content and other content are displayed simultaneously, then user convenience is improved, but display state management becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects when the user wants to switch between video chatting content and other content by tracking line of sight direction, and autonomously manages the display state transitions without requiring manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control apparatus continuously monitors user line of sight and uses this feedback to automatically adjust display states, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to user needs in real-time.
