Latest Patents
Donna Thelander holds a patent for a "Saccade driven text comprehension artificial intelligence engine." This invention provides a method, computer system, and computer program product that enables users to obtain additional information about content. The process begins by collecting eye gazing data from at least one sensor, which relates to the user's eye movement while viewing content. The user's saccade rate is calculated based on the collected data. The system determines when the saccade rate falls below a first value for a specific area of content, flagging it as a first subset. It also identifies when the saccade rate shifts backward over a second subset of the content multiple times, marking this area as a second flagged area. The content located between these flagged areas is then emphasized, and explanatory tools are provided to assist users in understanding the emphasized portion.
