Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes: a display unit; a sensor configured to sense a touch input into the display unit; an eye direction sensor configured to sense an eye direction of a user; and a controller configured to divide a screen of the display unit into a plurality of areas, in response to an eye of the user being sensed toward a first area of the plurality of areas and a first touch input being sensed into the first area, perform a first control operation corresponding to the first touch input, and in response to a second touch input being sensed into the other areas except the first area, not perform a second control operation corresponding to the second touch input. Therefore, whether a function will be executed is determined according to an area in which an eye of a user is sensed and an area in which the eye of the user is not sensed. As a result, a malfunction of a display apparatus is prevented.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes an infrared outputter configured to output infrared light toward a user, an image capturer configured to photograph the user to generate a captured image, and a controller configured to detect, from the captured image, a pupil and an iris of the user, and a glint area generated by the infrared light, and to determine, in response to the pupil, the iris, and the glint area being detected, a direction of the user's gaze based on a relation between a location of the pupil, and the glint area, and a size of the iris.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for capturing an image in a portable terminal. An image is received at the portable terminal. An eye region is detected in the image. An eye center of the eye region is determined. It is determined whether a reflection region is detected in the eye region. When the reflection region is detected, a shape of the reflection region is determined, and guide information for preventing the reflection region is output based on the shape of the reflection region.
