Method for controlling the displaying of text for aiding reading on a display device, and apparatus adapted for carrying out the method, computer program, and computer readable storage medium
This invention aims to support the reader in the task of reading text on a display device (21). In each case an area in the text to which the gaze is directed (view areas/focus area of the eyes) is highlighted, respectively. For this purpose the gaze direction is determined (101 to 108) in the reading device (21) and the highlighted region is controlled with gaze direction control (109). When a whole sentence is highlighted, the highlighting is stopped and starts anew with the beginning of the next sentence being read. The highlighted area moves with this technique with the view. The reader's eye/brain is thus released from the complicated task of line tracking and can better concentrate on word recognition.
