Abstract

See full text

An electronic device generates a message read confirmation by using eye tracking. The device tracks a position of a user's eye while the user is viewing a displayed electronic message. The device generates a plurality of features associated with the user's viewing of the electronic message based on the tracked position of the eye. The generated features include, for example, a number of lines of the displayed electronic message viewed by the user. The device then generates a message read confirmation after determining that the user has read the displayed electronic message based on the generated plurality of features. The tracking of the eye position can be implemented by capturing images representing the eye position. Based on analyzing a series of the captured images, the device can also determine that the eye has stayed within a threshold distance and, responsively, enhance (e.g., zoom) the displayed electronic message.
