Abstract

This disclosure relates to system and method for improving viewing experience of a user on a digital device. In one embodiment, a method is provided for improving viewing experience of a user on a digital device. The method, at a first instance, comprises determining a plurality of first vision parameters for two or more viewing positions based on a plurality of first sensor parameters and a plurality of viewing experiences of the user for the two or more viewing positions, deriving a base viewability index based on the plurality of first vision parameters for the two or more viewing positions, and creating a user profile comprising the base viewability index of the user. The method, at a subsequent instance, further comprises determining a plurality of subsequent vision parameters for a current viewing position based on a plurality of subsequent sensor parameters for the current viewing position and attributes of a digital content, deriving a dynamic viewability index based on the plurality of subsequent vision parameters for the current viewing position, and dynamically adjusting display settings based on a comparison between the dynamic viewability index and the base viewability index, and presenting the digital content to the user based on the adjusted display settings.

determine a plurality of first vision parameters for two or more viewing positions based on a plurality of first sensor parameters and a plurality of viewing experiences of the user for the two or more viewing positions, wherein the plurality of first vision parameters comprises one or more pitch-yaw-roll rates, for each of the two or more viewing positions, that are determined based on user's linear acceleration in each of three coordinate axes respectively;
derive a base viewability index based on the plurality of first vision parameters for the two or more viewing positions by performing time series analysis of the first vision parameters; and
create a user profile comprising the base viewability index of the user; and

the processor, at a subsequent instance, configured to:
determine a plurality of subsequent vision parameters for a current viewing position based on a plurality of subsequent sensor parameters for the current viewing position and attributes of a digital content;
derive a dynamic viewability index based on the plurality of subsequent vision parameters for the current viewing position by performing time series analysis of the subsequent vision parameters using a co-efficient factor for the subsequent vision parameters, wherein the base and dynamic viewability indexes are vectors corresponding to the user that respectively define a viewing requirement or a viewing experience of the user at a given ambient condition surrounding the system or the digital device; and
dynamically adjust display settings based on a comparison between the dynamic viewability index and the base viewability index, and

a display configured to present the digital content to the user based on the adjusted display settings.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least one of a GPS sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a proximity sensor, a light intensity detector, an infrared sensor, a camera, a microphone, a humidity sensor, a beacon, or a biometric sensor.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor parameters comprise at least one of a location of the user, a viewing distance, a viewing direction, a viewing position, an ambient light intensity, a glare, a current display settings, a camera picture, a video stream, a voice recording, another nearby beacon, a position of sun, a humidity level, or a biometric signature.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vision parameters comprise at least one of a size of face of the user, a inter pupil distance of the user, a movement of pupils, a relative viewing distance, a relative viewing direction, a relative viewing position, an indoor or an outdoor position of the digital device, a relative position of sun with respect to the digital device, a humidity level on a surface of the display of the digital device, a length of text line, a time taken by the user to read a text, a number of pauses taken during reading, or a number of filler phrases used during reading.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor, at the first instance, is configured to access the plurality of viewing experiences of the user via a user interface by guiding the user to perform one or more actions.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more actions comprises at least one of holding the digital device at multiple distances and at multiple positions, reading single character against multiple backgrounds, reading multiple characters with different spacing and against multiple backgrounds, viewing or reading in different light intensity or indoor or outdoor, or providing feedback on viewing experiences for multiple digital contents in multiple ambient conditions surrounding the digital device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor, at the first instance, is configured to determine the plurality of first vision parameters for the two or more viewing positions by performing statistical operations on the plurality of first vision parameters determined earlier, and wherein statistical operation comprises at least one of an extrapolation, an interpolation, a regression, and an association rule.
