Patent attributes
An electronic device, method and computer program product enable detecting user attention to dynamic content and enabling subsequent user access. The electronic device includes display device(s), a memory containing a content consumption monitoring (CCM) application, and a controller communicatively coupled to the display device(s) and the memory. The controller executes the CCM application to configure the electronic device to provide functionality of the detection of user attention including retrieving content from source(s) of content. The functionality includes monitoring presentation of, and user attention to, portion(s) of the content on the display device(s). In response to detecting that a period of time associated with the user attention to a particular portion of the content exceeds a threshold time for consuming the particular portion of the content, the functionality includes storing information associated with the particular portion of the content (e.g., location, a copy of content, and metadata) for subsequent user access.
