Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed hosting multiple visual assessments, evaluating user performance on the assessments, and providing recommendations to assess and improve user visual performance. One method includes hosting a plurality of visual assessments; presenting, via a web portal, a user interface for selecting one or more visual assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments; receiving, via a web portal, a request for a user to access a visual assessment, wherein the visual assessment is an assessment out of the hosted plurality of assessments; administering the visual assessment to the user; receiving user performance data associated with a user, in response to the administered visual assessment; comparing the user performance data with performance data associated with one or more other users; and generating a report of user visual performance based on the user performance data, wherein the report is accessible to the user via the web portal.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a web-based visual performance platform that hosts a plurality of visual assessments, each assessment evaluating a different aspect of visual performance. A user interface on the hosting web platform presents the hosted plurality of visual assessments to a user for selection, and the platform receives a request for access to a selected visual assessment.
For the selected visual assessment, the platform selects an eye tracker based on one or more requirements associated with the selected visual assessment and administers the selected visual assessment by presenting one or more stimuli to the user through the user interface on the hosting web platform. The platform receives eye tracking data associated with the user's eye movements in response to the presented stimuli.
The platform computes a value of a foundational eye movement metric using raw data from multiple assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments, where each of the multiple assessments evaluates different aspects of visual performance. Using the computed foundational eye movement metric, the platform computes a value of an assessment-specific eye movement metric for the administered selected visual assessment.
The platform compares the value of the computed assessment-specific eye movement metric to an activity-specific score associated with individuals other than the user to compute a user-specific performance score, and generates a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover hosting multiple visual assessments on a web platform, computing foundational and assessment-specific eye movement metrics from hosted assessment data, comparing to activity-specific scores from other individuals, and generating a user-specific performance score display or report. The claim set centers on seven inventive features.
Hosting a plurality of visual assessments on a web platform
Hosting a plurality of visual assessments on a hosting web platform, each assessment evaluating a different aspect of visual performance.
Assessment selection via user interface
Displaying a user interface on the hosting web platform, the user interface presenting the hosted plurality of visual assessments to a user for selection; receiving a request for access to a selected visual assessment.
Eye tracker selection and administering the selected visual assessment
Selecting an eye tracker based on one or more requirements associated with the selected visual assessment; administering the selected visual assessment by presenting one or more stimuli to the user; receiving eye tracking data associated with the user's eye movements.
Foundational eye movement metric from raw data across multiple assessments
Computing a value of a foundational eye movement metric using raw data from multiple assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments, each evaluating different aspects of visual performance.
Assessment-specific eye movement metric derived from the foundational metric
Computing a value of an assessment-specific eye movement metric for the administered selected visual assessment based on the computed foundational eye movement metric.
User-specific performance score via comparison to activity-specific scores
Comparing the value of the computed assessment-specific eye movement metric to an activity-specific score associated with individuals other than the user to compute a user-specific performance score.
Display or report of the user-specific performance score
Generating a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.
The inventive focus is a web platform that hosts a plurality of visual assessments, computes a foundational eye movement metric from raw data across multiple assessments, derives an assessment-specific eye movement metric for a selected assessment, and computes a user-specific performance score by comparison to activity-specific scores associated with individuals other than the user.
