Dynamic information configuration and display
A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium displays information to a user. Market data related to a plurality of tradeable objects is received from an exchange at a trading device. The display of market data related to each tradeable object is separately controlled. If the user is not paying attention to the market data of a particular tradeable object, then the dissemination of the market data for that tradeable object may be temporarily stopped until the user starts paying attention to that tradeable object.
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, including instructions executable to:
receive market data from an electronic exchange, wherein the market data relates to a first tradeable object and a second tradeable object traded at the electronic exchange;
display the received market data related to the first tradeable object in a first portion of a user interface generated by a first control application;
display the received market data related to the second tradeable object in a second portion of the user interface generated by a second control application;
determine that a user is in front of the user interface;
determine gaze position data for the user with a sensor of a tracking mechanism in communication with the user interface, wherein the gaze position data represents the user's gaze with respect to the user interface;
implement a gaze control application to determine a user focus area with respect to the first portion of the user interface based on the gaze position data;
in response to determining the user focus area with respect to the first portion of the user interface, send a request by a network interface to a second electronic exchange at which the second tradeable object is traded to discontinue communication of updated market data related to the second tradeable object to the second control application such that the second control application does not receive and does not display the updated market data related to the second tradeable object; and
receive updated market data related to the first tradeable object by the first control application and displaying the received updated market data related to the first tradeable object in the first portion of the user interface.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the tracking mechanism includes at least one of a facial recognition system, an acoustic position system, a distance sensor, and an imaging sensor.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is implemented by a trading device to determine the gaze position data by determining if (1) the one of the first and second portions of the user interface presented is obscured and/or minimized and/or (2) no user is in front of the trading device.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the tracking mechanism is configured to detect an increase in the user's focus on the second portion of the user interface, and the computer readable medium further includes instructions executable to:
send a request from the second electronic exchange to provide delivery of updated market data related to the second tradeable object to the second control application; and
receive the updated market data related to the second tradeable object by the second control application and displaying the received updated market data related to the second tradeable object in the second portion of the user interface.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a plurality of display devices, wherein the user's focus defines a user focus area on one of the first and second portions of the user interface.
6. A system including:
a memory; and
at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive market data from an electronic exchange, wherein the market data relates to a first tradeable object and a second tradeable object traded at the electronic exchange;
display the received market data related to the first tradeable object in a first portion of a user interface generated by a first control application;
display the received market data related to the second tradeable object in a second portion of the user interface generated by a second control application;
determine that a user is in front of the user interface;
determine gaze position data for the user with a sensor of a tracking mechanism in communication with the user interface, wherein the gaze position data represents the user's gaze with respect to the user interface;
implement a gaze control application to determine a user focus area with respect to the first portion of the user interface based on the gaze position data;
in response to determining the user focus area with respect to the first portion of the user interface, send a request by a network interface to a second electronic exchange at which the second tradeable object is traded to discontinue communication of updated market data related to the second tradeable object to the second control application such that the second control application does not receive and does not display the updated market data related to the second tradeable object; and
receive updated market data related to the first tradeable object by the first control application and displaying the received updated market data related to the first tradeable object in the first portion of the user interface.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the tracking mechanism includes at least one of a facial recognition system, an acoustic position system, a distance sensor, and an imaging sensor.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the user interface is implemented by a trading device to determine the gaze position data by determining if (1) the one of the first and second portions of the user interface presented is obscured and/or minimized and/or (2) no user is in front of the trading device.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the tracking mechanism is configured to detect an increase in the user's focus on the second portion of the user interface, and the at least one processor if further configured to:
send a request from the second electronic exchange to provide delivery of updated market data related to the second tradeable object to the second control application; and
receive the updated market data related to the second tradeable object by the second control application and displaying the received updated market data related to the second tradeable object in the second portion of the user interface.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the user interface is displayed on a plurality of display devices, wherein the user's focus defines a user focus area on one of the first and second portions of the user interface.
