Method and apparatus for unlocking a device or an application based on gaze tracking - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231487 titled 'Method and apparatus for unlocking a device or an application based on gaze tracking
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method and apparatus for unlocking a device or application based on gaze tracking. Users are presented with an image from a set of images, each with pre-defined feature points. The user's gaze trajectory on the image is then compared to the pre-defined sequence of feature points to unlock the device or application.
- Uses gaze tracking to unlock devices or applications
- Presents users with images containing pre-defined feature points
- Compares user's gaze trajectory to pre-defined sequence of feature points
- Unlocks device or application if gaze trajectory matches feature points
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes gaze tracking technology for unlocking devices or applications
- Incorporates pre-defined feature points in images for authentication
- Offers a unique and secure method of unlocking based on gaze trajectory
- Enhances user experience by providing a novel way of authentication
Potential Applications:
- Security systems for devices and applications
- Biometric authentication methods
- User-friendly unlocking mechanisms for various devices
- Access control systems for sensitive information
Problems Solved:
- Enhances security by using gaze tracking for authentication
- Provides a user-friendly and intuitive unlocking method
- Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to devices or applications
Benefits:
- Improved security measures
- Convenient and user-friendly authentication process
- Enhanced user experience with innovative unlocking method
Commercial Applications:
Unlocking devices or applications securely using gaze tracking technology can have significant commercial applications in industries such as:
- Mobile devices
- Computers
- Smart home systems
- Banking and financial services
Questions about Gaze Tracking Unlocking Technology:
1. How does gaze tracking technology enhance the security of device authentication? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing gaze tracking for unlocking devices or applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method and apparatus for unlocking a device or an application on the device based on gaze tracking. an image randomly selected from a set of images. each image in the set of images includes a plurality of feature points and a sequence of feature points is pre-defined for each image. the selected image is presented to a user. a trajectory of gaze points of the user on the selected image presented to the user is determined. it is then determined whether the trajectory of gaze points of the user matches the pre-defined sequence of feature points on the selected image. the device or the application on the device is unlocked if the trajectory of gaze points of the user matches the pre-defined sequence of feature points on the selected image.
