Abstract
A method, a device, and a computer program defining a plurality of ambient conditions, associating a set of measurable ambient values for each of the ambient conditions, providing rules for computing a user attention requirement value based on the measurable ambient values, measuring one or more of the ambient conditions, and computing user attention requirement including the measured ambient values, using the rules.
Claims33
A method for assessing user attention, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of ambient conditions;
- associating a set of measurable ambient values for each of said ambient conditions;
- providing at least one rule for computing a user attention requirement value based on at least one of said measurable ambient values;
- measuring at least one of said ambient conditions to form a measured ambient value;
- and
- computing user attention requirement comprising at least one of said measured ambient values, using said at least one rule;
- selecting at least one of temporal sampling parameter and temporal analysis parameter according to said attention requirement;
- and
- performing at least one of said steps of:
- measuring at least one of said ambient conditions according to said temporal sampling parameter;
- and
- computing user attention requirement according to said temporal analysis parameter.
A system for assessing user attention, the system comprising:
- a user interface unit configured to enable a user to:
- define a plurality of ambient conditions;
- associate a set of measurable ambient values with each of said ambient conditions;
- and
- provide at least one rule for computing a user attention requirement value based on at least one of said measurable ambient values;
- an ambient measuring unit configured to measure at least one of said ambient conditions to form a measured ambient value according to at least one temporal sampling parameter;
- and
- an attention assessment unit configured to compute user attention requirement comprising at least one of said measured ambient values, and using said at least one rule using at least one temporal analysis parameter;
- wherein said at least one of temporal sampling parameter and temporal analysis parameter is selected according to said computed user attention requirement.
The system according to 19 wherein said modified measuring rule is different from said measuring rule, by invoking said at least one of:
- said measuring at least one of said ambient conditions, and said computing user attention requirement.
The system according to 19 wherein said modification comprises modifying at least one of said temporal sampling parameter and said temporal analysis parameter.
A non-transitory computer readable medium include instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- defining a plurality of ambient conditions;
- associating a set of measurable ambient values for each of said ambient conditions;
- providing at least one rule for computing a user attention requirement value based on at least one of said measurable ambient values;
- measuring at least one of said ambient conditions to form a measured ambient value;
- and
- computing user attention requirement comprising at least one of said measured ambient values, using said at least one rule;
- selecting at least one of temporal sampling parameter and temporal analysis parameter according to said attention requirement;
- and
- performing at least one of said steps of:
- measuring at least one of said ambient conditions according to said temporal sampling parameter;
- and
- computing user attention requirement according to said temporal analysis parameter.
