A gaze tracking system, leaving a low power mode in response to an activation signal, captures an initial burst of eye pictures in short time by restricting the image area of a sensor, with the purpose of enabling an increased frame rate. Subsequent eye pictures are captured at normal frame rate. The first gaze point value is computed memorylessly based on the initial burst of eye pictures and no additional imagery, while subsequent values may be computed recursively by taking into account previous gaze point values or information from previous eye pictures. The restriction of the image area may be guided by a preliminary overview picture captured using the same or a different sensor. From the gaze point values, the system may derive a control signal to be supplied to a computer device with a visual display.

The present invention relates to scribble matching methods, ie. methods for searching samples of electronic ink without having first to translate the ink into ASCII text. The methods of the present invention find application in pen-based computer devices. The invention entails the identification and encoding of velocity minima in the input scribble. Three scribble matching algorithms are described-a syntactic matcher, a word matcher and an elastic matcher. The syntactic matcher encodes the input scribble according to the shape of the scribble in the region of the velocity minima. The word matcher encodes the input scribble according to the heights of the velocity minima from a reference line, using a continuous height encoding scheme. The elastic matcher encodes the input scribble according to a classification of the velocity minima and intermediate points. The use of velocity minima in the encoding of scribble input provides a stable set of points and leads to improved performance in comparison with known scribble matching methods.
