Abstract
A system for human-digital media interaction tracking. One example system includes a database that stores information regarding a user's activity history for various different cognitive tasks, and a computing device that receives user behavior information indicating usage by a user of an interactive software program, the interactive software program associated with at least one of the cognitive tasks. The computing device, in response to the receipt of user behavior information indicating usage by the user of the interactive software program, updates the database information regarding the user's activity history for the at least one of the cognitive tasks.
Claims12
A system for cognitive training based on user-digital media interaction tracking, comprising:
- a plurality of computing devices having a plurality of commercially available third-party interactive digital media stored therein, said digital media including a video game and a web browser, each of the plurality of computing devices including:
- a processor and a memory, the memory including:
- one or more of the plurality of digital media in the form of executable software programs;
- a user-digital media interaction monitor configured to plug-in as a monitoring extension to each of the digital media without modification of interactive content of said digital media, the user-digital media interaction monitor having executable instructions that configure the computing device to:
- identify a user identity for the user;
- and
- unobtrusively track the user-digital media interaction, which includes a speed and duration of active interaction of the user with each of the plurality of digital media;
- and
- a computer server with a processor and a memory, the memory including:
- a database having a first predetermined weighted mapping between each of the plurality of digital media with one or more of a plurality of cognitive tasks, and a second predetermined weighted mapping between each of the plurality of cognitive tasks with one or more of a plurality of brain areas, wherein the plurality of cognitive tasks include at least two of memory, attention, motor function, visual search, decision making, inhibitory control, computation and speed of processing;
- and
- executable instructions that configure the computer server to:
- perform an analysis that determines a duration of exercise of each of the plurality of cognitive tasks and brain areas for the user based on the first predetermined weighted mapping, the second predetermined weighted mapping and a history for a period of time of the user-digital media interaction across the plurality of the computing devices;
- and
- determine a plan of cognitive exercise of one or more of the plurality of cognitive tasks and one or more of the plurality of brain areas for the user, the plan including a schedule with a recommended duration of user-digital media interaction with one or more of the plurality of digital media;
- and
- serve the plan to at least one of the computing devices;
- wherein each of the computing devices are further configured to receive and display the plan.

- and
- determine a plan of cognitive exercise of one or more of the plurality of cognitive tasks and one or more of the plurality of brain areas for the user, the plan including a schedule with a recommended duration of user-digital media interaction with one or more of the plurality of digital media;
- and
- receiving, from the computer server, the plan in at least one of the computing devices;
- and
- displaying the plan on the at least one of the computing devices.
