The patent US12019798B2 outlines a method and device for delivering customized content based on gaze recognition technology. The method involves several steps, starting with capturing a face recognition image of a user using an image sensor. This image is then used to obtain a front view of the user's face, from which gaze information—specifically gaze direction and fixation time—is generated. The system determines a region of interest within a display area based on this gaze information, comparing the fixation time against a preset threshold. Once the region of interest is identified, the device detects items that match this area and outputs relevant product information to a separate display area. The system is designed to update the displayed content dynamically as the user's gaze changes, allowing for personalized interactions.

Additionally, the device incorporates advanced features such as utilizing deep learning neural networks to analyze the face recognition image and control the image sensor accordingly. It can handle multiple users by detecting individual face areas and generating separate gaze information for each user. The output display area is divided to present tailored product information for each user based on their gaze data. This innovative approach not only enhances user engagement but also optimizes the presentation of product information, making it more relevant and accessible based on real-time gaze tracking. The claims emphasize the integration of gaze recognition with machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy and responsiveness of the content delivery system.
