Abstract:
A user of a computing device may interact with the computing device through the user's eye movement. An image of the user's eyes or face, captured by a camera on the computing device, may be analyzed using computer-vision algorithms, such as eye tracking and gaze detection algorithms. During use of the computing device, one or more lights illuminating the user, or cameras viewing the user, may become blocked. The device may be equipped with more lights or cameras than are necessary to perform gaze detection by the device. In an over-equipped device, the additional lights or cameras can remain dormant until a blockage is detected. In response to a camera or light becoming blocked, a dormant light or camera can be activated.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n activating a subset of a set of cameras to capture images of an eye of a user, the activated subset of cameras being smaller than the set; performing eye tracking on the captured images to determine a point of regard of the user; determining that a first camera in the set of cameras has been obstructed, the first camera being in the activated subset of cameras; and responsive to determining that the first camera has been obstructed, reducing power consumption of the first camera and operating a second camera in the set of cameras to capture images of the eye of the user, the second camera not being in the activated subset of cameras.
