Abstract
Generally disclosed herein is a system for automatically controlling media being viewed by a user based on the user attention levels predicted from gaze and drowsiness estimation and the user's position in a pre-marked monitoring zone. The system may be configured to adjust the monitoring zones based on varying lighting conditions, varying poses of the subjects or users, and the varying distances between the media devices and the users. The system may be further configured to automatically pause or play back the media content based on the user's attention level or changes in positions of the user.
