Abstract

Methods and systems to improve coupling and cohesion of at least one educational program are provided. In some examples, the methods and systems include at least one educational program, where the at least one educational program comprises a first application programming interface (API) that is configured to be coupled to a second API of an internet enabled electronic device in a restricted state and partially decoupled in an unrestricted state.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

obtaining a system comprising:
a remote source;
a first internet enabled electronic device, where the first internet enabled device is in an unrestricted state;
and
a second internet enabled electronic device;
downloading, to the first internet enabled electronic device, from the remote source, at least one educational program, where the at least one educational program comprises a first application programming interface (API), where the first API is associated with the at least one educational program;
where the unrestricted state comprises the first API of the educational program partially decoupled from a second API,
where, “partially decoupled” is defined as the second API running freely from the first API except for at least one coupled component;
where the second API is associated with an operating system of the first internet enabled electronic device,
where the first API is partially decoupled from the second API upon the first API sending at least one unlock instruction from the first API to the second API,
where the unlock instruction commands the second API to allow a first user of the first internet enabled electronic device to access restricted content for a predetermined amount of time,
where the restricted content is content that is ordinarily accessible by the first user of the first internet enabled electronic device;
manually preselecting a list of restricted content, where the manually preselecting is performed remotely, via the first API, by a second user of the second internet enabled electronic device;
remotely transforming, via the first API, the first internet enabled electronic device into a restricted state, such that the first user is prevented from accessing the restricted content;
where the restricted state comprises the first API of the educational program coupled to the second API;
where, while coupled, the second API runs cohesively with the first API;
where the first API is coupled to the second API upon the first API sending at least one lock instruction to the second API,
where the at least one lock instruction commands the second API to prevent access to the restricted content;
obtaining a set of rules associated with the first user, where the set of rules comprises a preset educational quota and an educational count for the first user, the educational count having no limit;
generating, via the first API, the at least one educational program that can be played by the first user to raise the educational count;
applying the set of rules to determine whether the educational count is lower than the preset educational quota;
raising the educational count, upon completion of the at least one educational program;
repeating the applying and raising until the educational count is greater than or equal to the preset educational quota;
and
once the educational count is greater than or equal to the preset educational quota, remotely reverting, via the at least one unlock instruction, the first internet enabled electronic device to the unrestricted state, such that the first user is granted access to the restricted content, for the predetermined amount of time.

A system comprising:

a remote source;
a first internet enabled electronic device, where the first internet enabled device is in an unrestricted state;
and
a second internet enabled electronic device;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is configured to download, from the remote source, at least one educational program, where the at least one educational program comprises a first application programming interface (API), where the first API is associated with the at least one educational program;
where the unrestricted state comprises the first API of the educational program partially decoupled from a second API,
where “partially decoupled” is defined as the second API running freely from the first API except for at least one coupled component;
where the second API is associated with an operating system of the first internet enabled electronic device,
where the first API is partially decoupled from the second API upon the first API sending at least one unlock instruction from the first API to the second API,
where the at least one unlock instruction commands the second API to allow a first user of the first internet enabled electronic device to access restricted content for a predetermined amount of time,
where the restricted content is content that is ordinarily accessible by the first user of the first internet enabled electronic device;
where the second internet enabled electronic device is configured to allow a second user to manually preselect a list of restricted content remotely, via the first API;
where the second internet enabled electronic device is further configured to allow a second user to, via the first API, the first internet enabled electronic device into a restricted state, such that the first user is prevented from accessing the restricted content;
where the restricted state comprises the first API of the educational program coupled to the second API;
where, while coupled, the second API runs cohesively with the first API;
where the first API is coupled to the second API upon the first API sending at least one lock instruction to the second API,
where the at least one lock instruction commands the second API to prevent access to the restricted content;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is further configured to obtain a set of rules associated with the first user, where the set of rules comprises a preset educational quota and an educational count for the first user, the educational count having no limit;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is further configured to generate, via the first API, the at least one educational program that can be played by the first user to raise the educational count;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is further configured to apply the set of rules to determine whether the educational count is lower than the preset educational quota;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is further configured to raise the educational count, upon completion of the at least one educational program;
where the first internet enabled electronic device is further configured to apply the set of rules and raise the educational count until the educational count is greater than or equal to the preset educational quota;
and
where, once the educational count is greater than or equal to the preset educational quota, the second internet enabled electronic device is configured to remotely revert, via the at least one unlock instruction, the first internet enabled electronic device to the unrestricted state, such that the first user is granted access to the restricted content, for the predetermined amount of time.
