Idle Screen Information Presentation via Gaze and Voice Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smartphones and other electronic devices often remain idle with dark screens, wasting time for both users and devices, as there are no convenient ways to utilize idle time for presenting information, and existing advertisements are either intrusive or ignored due to their timing and presentation.
Innovation Solution
The system uses gaze detection, voice commands, and physical inputs like shaking or tapping to determine when to present information on an idle device, allowing for non-intrusive advertising and task performance, even when the device is locked or in standby mode, by combining these inputs as a command to show information on the screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If advertisements are presented in traditional ways (pop-up, banners, flashing objects), then advertising effectiveness is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to intrusive and disruptive presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The system detects user gaze direction in advance and activates the display only when the user is looking at the device, presenting advertisements during idle time before the user engages with other tasks. This preliminary detection ensures ads are shown at appropriate moments without intruding on active usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The display dynamically transitions between dark/standby state and active display state based on real-time gaze detection. The system adapts its presentation behavior by activating only when the user's gaze is detected, creating a dynamic response that balances advertising effectiveness with user experience.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the smartphone display remains dark during standby to save energy, then energy consumption is reduced, but information presentation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary gaze detection while the device is in dark/standby state. When gaze is detected, the system activates the display to present information, thereby capturing information presentation opportunities that would otherwise be lost during energy-saving standby mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The display parameter dynamically changes between dark state and illuminated state based on gaze detection input. This parameter change allows the system to maintain energy efficiency during standby while enabling information presentation when the user is actively looking at the device.
3Speed
If multiple devices respond to a voice command, then system responsiveness is improved, but task execution accuracy deteriorates due to ambiguity
Solution Approach 1:
Gaze detection serves as an intermediary signal that mediates between voice command and task execution. When a voice command is given, the system uses gaze detection to identify which device the user is looking at, thereby resolving ambiguity and ensuring the correct device executes the task while maintaining rapid response.
4Reliability
If the device requires user authentication to display information, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication by detecting whether the user is looking at the device before allowing information display. This preliminary gaze-based verification provides a convenient authentication method that maintains security while enabling quick access during idle moments without requiring traditional authentication inputs.
