Method for gaze-controlled text size control, and methods for gaze-based measuring of a text reading speed and of a number of visual saccades per text line |
摘要 |
For gaze-controlled text size control of a display, the invention proposes to probe, sample and record a user's horizontal gaze Signal; to subject the gaze Signal to a subband filterbank or wavelet transform; to detect line delimiters in the gaze Signal; to derive a reading speed; to determine, as a number of saccades per text line the number of locations where the gaze Signal has sudden high slope portions surrounded on both sides by portions of markedly smaller slope; to detect, based on the reading speed and the number of saccades, a too small font size Status or a too big font size Status; and to initiate a corresponding font size change. Parts of this method can be used for gaze-based measuring of text reading speed and for gaze-based measuring of number of saccades. |

1. A method for gaze-controlled text size control, comprising:
probing, sampling and recording a user's horizontal gaze signal at a predefined sampling frequency; subjecting the horizontal gaze signal to a frequency or wavelet transform on several levels; detecting, in the transformed horizontal gaze signal, line delimiters; deriving, for each pair of consecutive line delimiters enclosing the transformed horizontal gaze signal of a current line, a reading speed from the distance in samples of the pair of line delimiters, in relation to the sampling frequency of the horizontal gaze signal; determining, from the transformed horizontal gaze signal of the current line, a number of saccades in the current line, by counting those locations, where the horizontal gaze signal has a sudden high slope portion surrounded on both sides by portions of markedly smaller slope, and wherein the number of the saccades is determined by determining a positive saccade count, determining a negative saccade count, and calculating the number of saccades as a difference between the positive saccade count and the negative saccade count; wherein an increase of the font size is initiated if the number of saccades is above a first threshold or if the reading speed is below a second threshold, and a decrease of the font size is initiated if the number of saccades is less than a third threshold. |
