That would be the evaluative metering

It's fairly strongly biassed towards the focus point.  I like that better than spot metering at the focus point. A small enough spot for actual spot metering would be too easily thrown out by the local high contrast you need for accurate metering. (In the case of eye AF, would it be metering the pupil, the iris or the white of the eye? Surely you would want it to be metering mostly the face, which is effectively what Canon's evaluative metering does.)
