Samsung patents camera view that lets you control objects with eyes or voice
Samsung describes a method where a device's camera identifies objects in a live video feed. Users can select an object using their gaze, voice, or gestures, which then opens a control panel overlaid on the screen to adjust that specific item.
In the filing’s own words
An operating method of an electronic device may include an operation of displaying image data captured by a camera in a first area of a display. The method may include identifying objects included in the first area. The method may include, on the basis of a user input including at least one of a gaze input, a speech input, and a gesture input, determining a target object to be controlled by a user among the objects. The method may include displaying the target object in a second area of the display. The second area may be overlaid on the first area. In the second area, image data corresponding to the target object may be streamed. The image data streamed in the second area may be controlled on the basis of a user input for the target object to an object control interface.
