ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17716912 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND RECORDING MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a technology that makes it easier for users to view a specific position on a display screen by using their gaze point. The technology includes a device with a detector that can detect where the user is looking on the screen. It also has a control unit that displays an indicator to show the user's gaze point on the screen. If the user chooses to keep the indicator visible even when they perform an operation on the device, the control unit will change the display order to show a specific item at the gaze point along with the indicator. This technology aims to improve the user's viewing experience and make it more convenient to interact with the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an operation by line-of-sight input, a position (designated position) designated by a gaze point is easier to view after a determination operation is performed by a user than before the determination operation is performed. An electric device includes a detector configured to detect a gaze point on a display unit, and a control unit configured to display an indicator indicating the gaze point on the display unit, wherein, in a case where a setting to keep displaying the indicator even in a case where an operation is performed on an operation unit by the user is set, the control unit performs control, in response to an operation performed on the operation unit by the user, to display a display item at the gaze point and to display the indicator and the display item in a changed display order.
