Eye tracking technology for video processing system
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230418373A1) describes a controller for a computing system that aims to monitor and assess the wellbeing of users based on sensor data. The controller is designed to analyze sensor-signalling from devices such as cameras, microphones, and eye tracking systems to determine various user characteristics affecting wellbeing, such as attentiveness, emotional state, and screen time. It then aggregates this data over time to generate a non-binary wellbeing score for the user, which can be shared with other users of the system. Additionally, the controller can create graphical representations and video streams based on the user's wellbeing score, providing a visual representation of their wellbeing status to others.
Furthermore, the patent outlines features such as identifying user breaks based on camera data, recording break times, and transmitting this information to other users. The controller can also determine the duration of user activity since their last break and automatically generate alerts if the user exceeds a certain threshold. Additionally, a central controller function is described, allowing for the aggregation of break time details from multiple users to provide combined break information to all users of the computing system. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive system for monitoring user wellbeing through sensor data analysis and sharing relevant information with other users in the system.
