Abstract
A window in a multi-window display configuration is provided. A gaze of one or more users is directed at the window. The multi-window display configuration has a plurality of windows that are each configured to display corresponding content. Further, a window attribute of the window is modified based upon the gaze. In addition, a request for the content corresponding to the window is sent to a server. The content corresponding to the window is received from the server. The content corresponding to the window is then displayed according to the modified window attribute at the window.
Background
BACKGROUND 1. Field
This disclosure generally relates to the field of data content. More particularly, the disclosure relates to the delivery of data content. 2. General Background
Content such as audio and/or video may be sent to computing devices via streaming. The streaming approach allows content to be received by a computing device and played by that computing device during delivery. In other words, a user utilizing a computing device may begin playing the content before the entirety of the content has been received. For example, a user may begin watching the beginning of a video that has been received while the middle and the end of the video are still being delivered. SUMMARY
A window in a multi-window display configuration is provided. A gaze of one or more users is directed at the window. The multi-window display configuration has a plurality of windows that are each configured to display corresponding content. Further, a window attribute of the window is modified based upon the gaze. In addition, a request for the content corresponding to the window is sent to a server. The content corresponding to the window is received from the server. The content corresponding to the window is then displayed according to the modified window attribute at the window.
Claims
1. A display system comprising: one or more processing elements; a multi-window display having a plurality of windows each configured to display respective content; and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media, the storage media encoded with instructions that when executed, cause the one or more processing elements to perform operations comprising: displaying the respective content for the plurality of windows, wherein the respective content is received from a server, determining a window in the multi-window display at which a gaze of a user is directed, modifying a window attribute of the window based upon the gaze, generating a modified window attribute based on the modification, wherein the modified window attribute comprises at least one of a bitrate of the respective content, a window dimension of the window, an audio volume corresponding to the window, or the respective content displayed by the window, and displaying the respective content according to the modified window attribute at the window. ||
13. A method comprising: displaying respective content for a plurality of windows in a multi-window display, wherein the respective content is received from a server; determining, by one or more processing elements, a window in the multi-window display at which a gaze of a user is directed; modifying, by the one or more processing elements, a window attribute of the window based upon the gaze; generating, by the one or more processing elements, a modified window attribute based on the modification, wherein the modified window attribute comprises at least one of a bitrate of the respective content, a window dimension of the window, an audio volume corresponding to the window, or the respective content displayed by the window; and displaying, by the one or more processing elements, the respective content according to the modified window attribute at the window. ||
21. The method claim 20, wherein an amount of the first portion of the shared amount of computing resources is based on at least one of the first bitrate or the second bitrate. ||
22. A system comprising: a display configured to display a plurality of windows; a server; a streaming device configured to: displaying respective content for the plurality of windows, wherein the respective content is received from the server, receive the respective content from the server, determine a window in the display at which a gaze of a user is directed, modify a window attribute of the window based upon the gaze, generate a modified window attribute based on the modification, wherein the modified window attribute comprises at least one of a bitrate of the respective content, a window dimension of the window, an audio volume corresponding to the window, or the respective content displayed by the window, and cause the display to display the respective content according to the modified window attribute at the window.
