Abstract:
1. A method for data communication, the method comprising: transmitting picture objects and/or video objects from a media center via a communications network for display on a communications terminal; receiving, at the media center from an eye tracker at the communications terminal, direction of view information of at least one eye of a user of the communications terminal with respect to the displayed picture objects and/or video objects, wherein the direction of view is determined by detecting a position of a pupil based on light reflected off of the pupil using a beam splitter, through which light is passed to the pupil and which is configured to receive light reflected off the pupil; a lens which is configured to receive light from the beam splitter which is reflected off the pupil; and a position sensing diode which receives light from the lens which has been received from the beam splitter, wherein the position sensing diode outputs a signal to the eye tracker; and transmitting subsequent picture objects and/or video objects for display by the communications terminal based on user interests determined from the received direction of view information.
