System for gaze interaction

Abstract

A control module for generating gesture based commands during user interaction with an information presentation area is provided. The control module is configured to acquire user input from a touchpad and gaze data signals from a gaze tracking module; and determine at least one user generated gesture based control command based on a user removing contact of a finger of the user with the touchpad; determine a gaze point area on the information presentation area including the user's gaze point based on at least the gaze data signals; and execute at least one user action manipulating a view presented on the graphical information presentation area based on the determined gaze point area and at least one user generated gesture based control command, wherein the user action is executed at said determined gaze point area.

1 . A control module for generating gesture based commands during user interaction with an information presentation area, wherein said control module is configured to:
 acquire user input from a touchpad and gaze data signals from a gaze tracking module; and   determine at least one user generated gesture based control command based on a user removing contact of a finger of the user with the touchpad;   determine a gaze point area on said information presentation area including the user's gaze point based on at least the gaze data signals; and   execute at least one user action manipulating a view presented on said graphical information presentation area based on said determined gaze point area and at least one user generated gesture based control command, wherein said user action is executed at said determined gaze point area.
