Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: detecting, using a content access detection system, content as content being accessed by a user; tracking, using the content access detection system and while the content is being accessed by the user, an amount of time the content is being accessed by the user; and marking, using the content access detection system, the content with the amount of time, wherein the marking includes utilizing a technique that allows sorting of the content based upon the amount of time. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Claims (34)

1 . A method, the method comprising:

detecting, using a content access detection system, content as content being accessed by a user;

tracking, using the content access detection system and while the content is being accessed by the user, an amount of time the content is being accessed by the user; and

marking, using the content access detection system, the content with the amount of time, wherein the marking comprises utilizing a technique that allows sorting of the content based upon the amount of time.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein the detecting comprises detecting a gaze of the user with respect to the content.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting the content is actively being audibly output.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting the content as active content.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein the detecting comprises identifying a size of the content with respect to other content displayed on the display device.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein the detecting comprises identifying a position of the content with respect to other content displayed on the display device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting an identifier corresponding to the content as being active.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tracking comprises logging a start timestamp when the content is first accessed by the user and logging a finish timestamp when the content is no longer being accessed by the user; and

wherein the amount of time comprises a difference between the finish timestamp and the start timestamp.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tracking comprises utilizing a polling method that increments a counter when the content is accessed.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the marking comprises updating metadata of the content.

11 . An information handling device, the information handling device comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the information handling device to:

detect, using a content access detection system, content as content being accessed by a user;

track, using the content access detection system and while the content is being accessed by the user, an amount of time the content is being accessed by the user; and

mark, using the content access detection system, the content with the amount of time, wherein the marking comprises utilizing a technique that allows sorting of the content based upon the amount of time.

12 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein to detect comprises detecting a gaze of the user with respect to the content.

13 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to detect comprises detecting the content is actively being audibly output.

14 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to detect comprises detecting the content as active content.

15 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein to detect comprises identifying a size of the content with respect to other content displayed on the display device.

16 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the content is displayed on a display device and wherein to detect comprises identifying a position of the content with respect to other content displayed on the display device.

17 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to detect comprises detecting an identifier corresponding to the content as being active.

18 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to track comprises logging a start timestamp when the content is first accessed by the user and logging a finish timestamp when the content is no longer being accessed by the user; and

wherein the amount of time comprises a difference between the finish timestamp and the start timestamp.

19 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to track comprises utilizing a polling information handling device that increments a counter when the content is accessed.

20 . A product, the product comprising:

a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to:

detect, using a content access detection system, content as content being accessed by a user;

track, using the content access detection system and while the content is being accessed by the user, an amount of time the content is being accessed by the user; and

mark, using the content access detection system, the content with the amount of time, wherein the marking comprises utilizing a technique that allows sorting of the content based upon the amount of time.
