    摘要: A system for preventing unauthorized viewing of content displayed on a computer display is presented. Once the system is activated, a computer user's eyes are tracked. If some source of interruption enters the vicinity of the user, the computer user will reflexively glance or look at the distraction, which accordingly results in the user removing his focus from the content on the computer display. As the user's focus is diverted from the display due to the interruption, the eye tracking detects this. In response to the detected removal of focus, the computer display is locked out extremely rapidly such that the content is no longer displayed.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program product for enhancing the computer screen security. The gaze of a user on a screen is tracked. The locations of the screen other than the location of the gaze of the user are distorted. Information is displayed in an area on the screen (“content area”) at the location of the user's gaze. Upon receiving input (e.g., audio, touch, key sequences) from the user to tune the content area on the screen to display information, the received input is mapped to a command for tuning the content area on the screen to display the information. The content area is then reconfigured in accordance with the user's request. By allowing the content area to be customized by the user, the security is enhanced by allowing the user to control what information is to be kept private.

    摘要: An interactive cooking device is provided. A user selects a recipe from a list of available recipes. Preparation steps corresponding to the selected recipe are retrieved from a data store along with a set of ingredients. The retrieved preparation steps are sequentially displaying to the user on a display that is included in the interactive cooking preparation device. The user's preparation actions are monitored, using one or more sensors. Gestures that correspond to the current preparation step are retrieved from the data store along with thresholds that correspond to each of the gestures. The user's actions are compared to the retrieved gestures using the retrieved thresholds. If the user's actions vary from the gestures by more than the thresholds, an alert is generated. The user is then provided with a suggested course of correction.
