Abstract

An attention application measures a user's attention focused on publisher content and advertisements to create an attention metric. Attention can be measured via hardware sensors or by user interactions with input/output hardware. A user attention metric profile can be used to modify content, content presentation, and/or match ads. Aggregate attention metrics can be used by publishers or third parties. Attention consumers may reward attention with a digital asset. A proof-of-attention can be made based on secure attention sensor hardware and/or a zero-knowledge proof.
