Abstract

See full text

An autonomous mobile device (AMD) or other device may perform various tasks during operation. The AMD includes a camera to acquire an image. Some tasks, such as presenting information on a display screen or a video call, may involve the AMD determining whether a user is engaged with the AMD. The AMD may move a component, such as the camera or the display screen, to provide a best experience for an engaged user. Images from the camera are processed to determine attributes of the user, such as yaw of the face of the user, pitch of the face of the user, distance from the camera, and so forth. Based on the values of these attributes, a user engagement score is determined. The score may be used to select a particular user from many users in the image, or to otherwise facilitate operation of the AMD.
