Programmable Method and Apparatus for Real-Time Adaptation of Presentations to Individuals

A programmable apparatus for obtaining information regarding an environment to an individual having preferred modalities, said apparatus comprising:

• at least one sensor for sensing psychomotor behavioral activity of the individual;
• and
• a processing unit connected to the sensor for receiving the sensed psychomotor behavioral activity and calculating the individual's preferred modalities based on the sensed psychomotor behavioral activity, wherein the processing unit determines a preferred combination of modalities and an ordering of modalities by preference thereby further defining a focus of the individual's attention, and wherein the processing unit utilizes an equation:
• Σ∫∞−∞((ΣGi(δxi/δit))/(ΣGi(dxi/dti)))dGidti∝Ψ(G) to determine the combination and order of modalities.

A method of obtaining information regarding an environment for an individual, having preferred modalities and engaged in activity, using a programmable device, said method comprising the steps of;

• sensing at least one psychomotor behavioral element of the activity engaged by the individual;
• determining the preferred modalities of the individual based on the psychomotor behavioral element of the activity engaged by the individual;
• and
• storing the sensed psychomotor behavioral element in a user history, wherein the sensed psychomotor behavioral element is stored in terms of preferred representational geometries.

A method of obtaining information regarding an environment for an individual, having preferred modalities and engaged in activity, using a programmable device, said method comprising the steps of:

• sensing at least one psychomotor behavioral element of the activity engaged by the individual;
• determining the preferred modalities of the individual based on the psychomotor behavioral element of the activity engaged by the individual, wherein the step of determining preferred modalities includes determining an ordering of modalities by preference thereby further defining a focus of the individual's attention;
• and
• modifying the environmental unit to provide content in the environment in the preferred order of modalities by preference whereby the order are placed in at least one respective co-ordinate group of representational geometry to which attention of the individual is drawn, as indicated by the psychomotor behavioral element.
