Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method of detection of an interaction-error. The interaction-error is derived from an incorrect decision and is directed to interacting with a machine. During human-machine interaction, command related data values are obtained. Command related data values characterize any one of an interacting-command and an interacting-action. The command related data values are compared with command related reference data values, and an interaction-error is identified if a difference between the command related data values and the command related reference data values complies with a predefined criterion.
Claims21
A human-machine interface system configured and operable to control machine operation of a machine via monitoring cognitive brain commands of a user while under human-machine interaction condition with respect to the machine, wherein the human-machine interface system comprises:
- at least one sensor configured for operative connection to at least one body part of the user and generate sensing data comprising data indicative of the cognitive brain commands of the user in association with the machine operation, and
- a computer processor configured for data communication with said at least one sensor, the computer processor being adapted to process said sensing data to identify, in said data indicative of the cognitive brain commands of the user, motor-command related data indicative of motor commands controlling user interaction with the machine and store the motor-command related data in a memory, wherein the computer processor comprises an error detector configured and operable to analyze data indicative of the motor-command related data and determine a relation of said motor-command related data to command related reference data, and upon identifying, based on the determined relation, that the motor-command related data corresponds to a condition of user's detection of error in the cognitive brain command of the user, generate and store in the memory the motor-command related data indicative of said condition of user's detection of error, thereby enabling to carry out at least one of the following:
- (i) selectively utilize said stored motor-command related data to enhance said command related reference data;
- and (ii) issue an alert data indicative of said condition of user's detection of error.
A human-machine interface system configured and operable to control an operation of a machine via monitoring cognitive brain commands of a user while under human-machine interaction condition with respect to the machine, wherein the human-machine interface system comprises:
- at least one sensor configured for operative connection to at least one body part of the user and generate sensing data comprising data indicative of the cognitive brain commands of the user in association with the operation of the machine, and
- a computer processor configured for data communication with said at least one sensor, the computer processor being adapted to process said sensing data to identify, in said data indicative of the cognitive brain commands of the user, motor-command related data indicative of motor commands controlling user interaction with the machine and store the motor-command related data in a memory, wherein the computer processor comprises an error detector configured and operable to analyze the motor-command related data and determine a relation of said motor-command related data to command related reference data, and upon identifying, based on the determined relation, that the motor-command related data corresponds to a condition of user's detection of error in the cognitive brain command of the user, categorizing the motor-command related data as an erroneous-command data, and generating and storing said erroneous-command data in association with the condition of user's detection of error, thereby enabling to carry out at least one of the following:
- (i) selectively utilize said motor-command related data comprising said erroneous-command data to enhance said command related reference data;
- and (ii) issue an alert data indicative of said erroneous-command data.
A method of controlling an operation of a machine via monitoring cognitive brain commands of a user while under human-machine interaction condition with respect to the machine, the method comprising:
- providing sensing data measured by at least one sensor operatively connected to at least one body part of the user while under said human-machine interaction condition and comprising data indicative of user's cognitive brain commands in association with the operation of the machine, and
- processing said sensing data to detect an interaction-error condition, said processing comprising:
- identifying, in said data indicative of the user's cognitive brain commands, motor-command related data indicative of motor commands controlling user interaction with the machine,
- analyzing the motor-command related data and determining a relation of said motor-command related data to command related reference data, and upon identifying, based on the determined relation, that the motor-command related data corresponds to a condition of user's detection of error in the user's cognitive brain command, generating and storing the motor-command related data in association with said condition of user's detection of error, thereby enabling to carry out at least one of the following:
- (i) selectively utilize the motor-command related data to enhance said command related reference data;
- and (ii) issue an alert data indicative of user's detection of error.
A non-transitory program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a method of detecting an interaction-error condition during user's interaction with a machine, the method comprising:
- processing sensing data, provided by at least one sensor operatively connected to at least one body part of the user during the user's interaction and comprising data indicative of cognitive brain commands of the user, said processing comprising identifying, in said data indicative of the cognitive brain commands of the user, motor-command related data indicative of motor commands controlling the user's interaction with the machine and storing the motor-command related data in a memory;
- determining a relation of said motor-command related data to command related reference data;
- and upon identifying, based on the determined relation, that the motor-command related data corresponds to a condition of user's detection of error in the cognitive brain command of the user, generating and storing the motor-command related data indicative of said condition, thereby enabling to carry out at least one of the following:
- (i) selectively utilize the stored motor-command related data to enhance said command related reference data;
- and (ii) issue an alert data indicative of said condition of user's detection of error.
