Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
capturing, by a camera, first eye gaze input that is associated with a first eye gaze location falling in a first area that corresponds to a first UI element of a user interface, wherein the first UI element is associated with a first threshold dwell time;
accessing stored contextual data comprising a frequency of selection of UI elements that includes a second UI element of the user interface;
identifying a semantic determination of user intent of the first eye gaze input;
based on the semantic determination of user intent and the stored contextual data, dynamically determining a second threshold dwell time for the second UI element, wherein dynamically determining the second threshold dwell time includes decreasing the second threshold dwell time from a first value to a second value;
capturing, by the camera, second eye gaze input that is associated with a second eye gaze location falling in a second area that corresponds to the second UI element;
determining a dwell time of the second eye gaze input at the second UI element;
determining the dwell time of the second eye gaze input exceeds the second threshold dwell time for the second UI element; and
in response to determining the dwell time of the second eye gaze input exceeds the second threshold dwell time, performing an action associated with the second UI element.
