Method for automatically identifying at least one user of an eye tracking device and eye tracking device

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method for automatically identifying at least one user of an eye tracking device (10) by means of the eye tracking device (10), wherein user identification data of the at least one user are captured by a capturing device (14) of the eye tracking device (10). Under the first condition that at least one profile (P1, P2, P3) with associated identification data (I1, I2, I3) of at least one specific user is stored in a storage medium (20), the stored identification data (I1, I2, I3) of the at least one profile (P1, P2, P3) are compared with the captured user identification data, and under the second condition that the captured user identification data match the stored identification data (I1, I2, I3) according to a predefined criterion, the at least one user is identified as the at least one specific user, for whom the at least one profile (P1, P2, P3) was stored.
