Abstract

A system for provisioning information to a user comprises a first display for displaying information for an application executing on an information handling system and a second display with a first zone for displaying information associated with the application and a second zone for displaying information associated with the information handling system. A biometric sensor determines which display the user is viewing. If the user is viewing the first display, eye tracking software determines actions based on the application. If the user is viewing the second display, eye tracking software determines if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone. If the user is viewing the first zone, advanced or additional information associated with the application is displayed. If the user is viewing the second zone, advanced or additional information associated with the information handling system is displayed.

Claims (72)

1. A method for provisioning information to a user, the method comprising:

displaying, on a first display of an information handling system, information associated with a gaming application running on the information handling system, the information based on user inputs received from a handheld controller;

determining a plurality of application parameters associated with the gaming application running on the information handling system and a plurality of system performance parameters for the information handling system, wherein the set of application parameters comprises two or more of a total, an average, a ratio and an efficiency associated with a user, wherein the plurality of system performance parameters comprises two or more of a battery power, a temperature and a processor speed associated with the information handling system;

displaying, on a second display, a first set of the plurality of application parameters in a first zone and a first set of the plurality of system performance parameters in a second zone;

detecting a user gesture comprising detecting a face and determining an orientation of the face;

determining if the user gesture corresponds to the user viewing the first display or the second display;

if the user gesture corresponds to the user viewing the first display, analyzing biometric information associated with the user relative to the gaming application running on the information handling system;

if the user gesture corresponds to the user viewing the second display:

analyzing biometric information associated with the user to determine if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone, and

if the user is viewing the first zone:

increasing a size of the first zone; and

increasing the set of application parameters displayed in the first zone; and

if the user is viewing the second zone:

increasing a size of the second zone; and

increasing the set of system performance parameters displayed in the second zone.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

increasing the set of application parameters displayed in the first zone further comprises increasing a size of a font of the set of application parameters displayed in the first zone; and

increasing the set of system performance parameters displayed in the second zone comprises increasing a size of a font of the system performance parameters displayed in the second zone.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein

increasing the set of information displayed in the first zone comprises displaying a second set of the plurality of application parameters, the second set of the plurality of application parameters comprising more application parameters than the first set of the plurality of application parameters; and

increasing the set of system performance parameters displayed in the second zone comprises displaying a second set of the plurality of system performance parameters, the second set of the plurality of system performance parameters comprising more system performance parameters than the first set of the plurality of system performance parameters.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a user gesture comprises detecting a face and determining a change in an orientation of the face.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein analyzing biometric information associated with the user to determine if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone comprises tracking eye movement of the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of application parameters are associated with the user's overall skill, teamwork, aggressiveness, or strategic or tactical execution of the gaming application.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of system performance parameters comprises GPU frequency, CPU temperature, GPU temperature, memory upload speed, memory download speed and core clock speed.

8. A system comprising:

a first display of an information handling system displaying information associated with a gaming application running on an information handling system, the information based on user inputs received from a handheld controller;

a biometric sensor for detecting a user gesture; and

a processor communicatively connected to the biometric sensor and configured to:

communicate with the information handling system executing the gaming application;

determine a plurality of application parameters associated with the gaming application; and

determine a plurality of system performance parameters for the information handling system, wherein the set of application parameters comprises two or more of a total, an average, a ratio and an efficiency associated with a user, wherein the plurality of system performance parameters comprises two or more of a battery power, a temperature and a processor speed associated with the information handling system;

a second display displaying a first set of the plurality of application parameters in a first zone and a first set of the plurality of system performance parameters in a second zone;

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine if the user gesture corresponds to the user viewing the first display or the second display;

if the user is viewing the first display, perform eye tracking of the user relative to the gaming application running on the information handling system; and

if the user is viewing the second display;

analyze biometric information associated with the user to determine if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone, and

if the user is viewing the first zone:

increasing a size of the first zone; and

increasing the set of application parameters displayed in the first zone; and

if the user is viewing the second zone:

increasing a size of the second zone; and

increasing the set of system performance parameters displayed in the second zone.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to communicate with the biometric sensor and determine a change in an orientation of the face.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to analyze eye tracking information associated with the user to determine if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to increase a size of a font of the set of information displayed in the first zone or increase assize of a font in the second zone.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein:

increasing the set of application parameters displayed in the first zone comprises displaying a second set of the plurality of application parameters, the second set of the plurality of application parameters comprising more application parameters than the first set of the plurality of application parameters; and

increasing the set of system performance parameters displayed in the second zone comprises displaying a second set of the plurality of system performance parameters, the second set of the plurality of system performance parameters comprising more system performance parameters than the first set of the plurality of system performance parameters.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of application parameters are associated with the user's overall skill, teamwork, aggressiveness, or strategic or tactical execution of the gaming application.

14. An information handling system, comprising:

a first display displaying application information corresponding to a gaming application running on the information handling system;

a second display displaying information comprising a first set of a plurality of application parameters associated with the gaming application running on the information handling system and a first set of a plurality of system performance parameters for the information handling system;
