Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for tracking device engagement The system includes a viewing device (e.g., television, etc.) and an eye-tracking device (e.g., a camera, etc.). The eye-tracking device is configured to capture data about the gaze of a viewer to determine if the viewer is watching the television at any given point in time. This information may be used for a variety of purposes, such as tracking user engagement with advertisement content. As another example, the information may be used for device energy saving purposes. For example, a screen of the device can be dimmed or turned off if the gaze of the viewer has not been directed towards the television for a given period of time. A notification may also be presented to the viewer prompting the viewer to indicate if they are still viewing the content being presented on the device.
