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 computer-implemented method and system for hosting a plurality of visual assessments on a hosting web platform. Each hosted assessment evaluates a different aspect of visual performance based on foundational eye movement metrics computed from raw eye tracking data. A user interface of the hosting web platform presents the hosted plurality of visual assessments to the user for selection.
After receiving a request to access a selected visual assessment, the platform selects an eye tracker based on one or more requirements associated with the selected visual assessment. The selected visual assessment is administered by presenting one or more stimuli through the user interface on the hosting web platform, and eye tracking data is received from the selected eye tracker in response to the presented stimuli. Using the received eye tracking data and one or more foundational eye movement metrics, 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. Finally, the invention generates a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.
Claims Coverage
The document includes three independent claims: a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. Each independent claim covers the same core workflow with seven inventive features: web hosting of multiple visual assessments, a user interface for selection, selection of an eye tracker, administration of the selected assessment with stimuli, computation of an assessment-specific eye movement metric from raw eye tracking data and foundational eye movement metrics, comparison to activity-specific scores, and generation of a user-specific performance score.
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 based on foundational eye movement metrics computed from raw eye tracking data.
User interface for selecting a visual assessment
Displaying a user interface of the hosting web platform to a user, the user interface presenting the hosted plurality of visual assessments to the user for selection.
Selection of eye tracker for 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 via stimuli
Administering the selected visual assessment to the user by presenting one or more stimuli to the user through the user interface on the hosting web platform.
Computing an assessment-specific eye movement metric using foundational eye movement metrics
Computing a value of an assessment-specific eye movement metric for the administered selected visual assessment based on the received eye tracking data and one or more foundational eye movement metrics computed from the eye tracking data relating to the aspect of visual performance evaluated by the selected visual assessment.
Comparing to activity-specific scores to compute user-specific performance score
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.
Generating a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score
Generating a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.
The independent claims collectively cover a web-platform workflow that hosts multiple visual assessments, presents them for selection, administers a selected assessment with stimuli using an eye tracker, computes an assessment-specific eye movement metric from raw eye tracking data and foundational eye movement metrics, compares the result to activity-specific scores from other individuals, and generates a user-specific performance score for display or reporting.
