ENGAGEMENT BASED CONTEXTUAL FEEDBACK FOR DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455420 titled 'ENGAGEMENT BASED CONTEXTUAL FEEDBACK FOR DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for providing contextual feedback to a user interacting with content on an electronic device. The method determines the required level of attention for the user and compares it to the user's current level of attention. If the required level is higher, the method identifies corrective actions that can be performed by the electronic device. The method then selects and performs the appropriate corrective actions based on the user's interactions with the device.

  • Method determines required level of attention for a user interacting with content on an electronic device
  • Method determines the user's current level of attention
  • If required level of attention is higher than the user's current level, corrective actions are identified
  • Corrective actions can be performed by electronic components on the device
  • Corrective actions are selected based on the user's interactions with the device
  • Selected corrective actions are performed on the electronic device

Potential Applications

  • User interfaces of electronic devices
  • Educational applications
  • Gaming applications
  • Productivity applications

Problems Solved

  • Lack of user engagement with content on electronic devices
  • Inefficient use of electronic devices due to user distraction or inattention
  • Difficulty in providing targeted feedback to users based on their level of attention

Benefits

  • Improved user engagement and attention
  • Enhanced user experience with electronic devices
  • More efficient use of electronic devices
  • Targeted and contextual feedback for users based on their level of attention


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for engagement based contextual feedback, the method determines a required level of attention for a user interacting with content in a user interface of an electronic device and determines a level of attention for the user interacting with the content in the user interface of the electronic device. In responsive to determining the required level of attention is greater than the level of attention for the user, the method identifies available corrective actions performable by one or more electronic components on the electronic device. In responsive to identifying one or more user and electronic device interactions, the method selects one or more corrective actions from the available actions based on the one or more user and electronic device interactions. The method performs, via the one or more electronic components, the selected one or more corrections actions on the electronic device.
