Embodiment Construction

[0027] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0028] figure 1 It is a perspective view seen from the back showing an example of the appearance and configuration of the gaze input device 1 as one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention.

[0029] Such as figure 1 As shown, the line-of-sight input device 1 is configured as a digital photo frame. On the front of line of sight input device 1 (in figure 1 A surface not shown in the drawing), a display unit 11 and an imaging unit 12 are provided.

[0030] The user can perform mouse-equivalent operations simply by moving his / her line of sight while looking at the display unit 11 with the eyeballs 2 without restraining the head in any way.

[0031] That is, the line-of-sight input device 1 detects the line-of-sight position of the user's eyeball 2, recognizes the equivalent operation of the mouse based on the detection result, and inputs the in...

Abstract

A display unit 11 has a display area of a predetermined shape and displays an image on the display area. An image capturing unit 12 generates data of a captured image by capturing an image of an eye 2 of a user in which the display area is reflected. A reference detection unit 21 detects a moving reference point that moves along with the movement of user's eye-gaze and an unmoving reference point that can be assumed as approximately stationary regardless of the user's eye-gaze movement, and generates a vector drawn from the unmoving reference point to the moving reference point as a shift amount V(x,y). An eye-gaze detection unit 22 detects a movement vector [Delta]V([Delta]x,[Delta]y) as the user's eye-gaze movement amount based on a reference shift amount Vo(xo,yo) generated in the past and the shift amount V(x,y) currently generated.

Description

[0001] This application is based on and benefits from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-290417 filed on December 27, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an information processing device, method, and program technology, and in particular to a technology that enables a user to perform an operation equivalent to a mouse operation only by moving the eyes without the restraint of the head. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, an input operation using an input device has been used as an operation for inputting information to an information processing device such as a personal computer. In particular, as such an input operation using an input device, an input operation using a mouse, that is, a so-called mouse operation is widely used. As a typical mouse operation, an operation of moving a mouse pointer to an icon or the like in order to select the icon or the like and t...
