Abstract
A method, system and software for assessing an entity (15) at a first user terminal (13) connected to a data network (10). A control system (11) is used to receive an access request (101) from the entity (15) or an assessing user (16) at a second user terminal (14). The control system (11) invokes or facilitates transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt (18) to the entity (15) for a performance of a visible prompted action (20). A video recording (21) of the prompted action performance is stored in a data store (61) and an automated assessment is made of the video recording (21) and/or a transmission of said video recording (21) and details of the prompt (18) is made to a second user terminal (14) for viewing and assessment by an assessing user (16).
Claims77
A method of assessing an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, said method utilising a control system operable to perform the steps of:
- a) receiving an access request from at least one of:
- said entity;
- an assessing user at a second user terminal connected to the data network;
- b) invoking or facilitating transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt to said entity for a performance of a visible prompted action;
- c) invoking storage of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity in a data store;
- d) invoking or facilitating transmission of said video recording from said data store and details of said prompt to a second user terminal for viewing and assessment by an assessing user.

The method as claimed in claim 18, wherein steps b) and c) are performed simultaneously.
The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein at step b) the control system invokes the prompt by providing computer-executable code or computer-readable data to software on the first user terminal which then generates the prompt accordingly.

A control system for facilitating entity assessment of an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, said control system including a computer system with a computer processor coupled to a system memory and programmed with computer readable instructions executable to perform the following procedures:
- a) receiving and processing data relating to an access request from at least one of:
- said entity;
- an assessing user at a second user terminal connected to the data network;
- b) invoking or facilitating transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt for said entity to perform a visible prompted action;
- c) invoking storage of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity in a data store;
- d) invoking or facilitating transmission of said video recording from said data store and details of said prompt to a second user terminal for viewing and assessment by an assessing user.

A computer program for assessing an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, said computer program embodied in computer-readable instructions executable by a control system to perform the steps of:
- a) receiving an access request from at least one of:
- said entity;
- an assessing user at a second user terminal connected to the data network;
- b) invoking or facilitating transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt to said entity for a performance of a visible prompted action;
- c) invoking storage of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity in a data store;
- d) invoking or facilitating transmission of said video recording from said data store and details of said prompt to a second user terminal for viewing and assessment by an assessing user.
