Abstract

See full text

Users are rewarded for viewer interaction (based on tracked eye-gaze patterns) with Internet advertisements rendered on a display (such as a computer display), wherein the reward is computed based on the visual activity of the viewer. Payments are disbursed to any of the following: viewer, sponsor of the advertisement, creator of advertisement. Examples of reward computations include, but are not limited to, computing payments based on: the level of viewer interaction with the rendered advertisements, the amount/proportion of content interacted with by the viewer, the value of the text interacted with by the viewer. In one example, rewards are based on a combination of previously recorded viewer interests and computed payments based on user interaction.
