ABSTRACT:
An exemplary warning method for avoiding eye stress of a computer user includes: capturing a number of consecutive images of the face of a computer user; processing the images to obtain a number of values each indicative of a degree of openness of the eyes of the computer user; counting an amount of values exceeding a predetermined threshold to obtain accumulated viewing time of the computer user; and triggering a warning means if the accumulated viewing time of the computer satisfies a predetermined condition.
