Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing a last known browsing location cue using movement-oriented biometric data are presented. Movement-oriented biometric data is received and used to detect that a user is distracted from a computer interface. A visual cue is provided indicating a last known browsing location. The visual cue may be provided after a certain amount of time or in response to detecting that the user's attention is returned to the computer interface. The visual cue may be removed after a certain amount of time or in response to detecting that the user's attention is returned to the computer interface. An inattention time corresponding to the user distraction may be determined and used to identify the last known browsing location. The biometric data may be compared to thresholds and profiles to determine whether the user is attentive or distracted.
