Abstract
Sensory input devices and sensory output devices for improving automatic systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided. In an embodiment, sensory input devices and sensory output devices are used to measure and evaluate at least one of cognition, knowledge, operation skills, physical properties, sensation, vision, or the like. In another embodiment, sensory input devices and sensory output devices are integrated to enhance communications. Such applications, among others, may include a plurality of sensors, actuator interfaces, or any combination thereof to optimize performance.
Claims19
An automatic system for testing, evaluating, screening, training, or any combination thereof for at least one of vision, cognition, knowledge, operation skills, physical properties, or sensation of a subject comprising:
- a computer for processing data wherein a computing environment is conducted over a network, thin client, or interconnected means for data exchange and storage;
- an input device for recording response information from a subject in response to test stimuli;
- a mechanism to offer an option for feedback a linking device for linking data to at least one institution whereby said data can be automatically stored, shared, reviewed, referred, and/or studied;
- a display device configured for presenting test stimuli to a subject and for displaying the test data received by the input device;
- wherein said computer means includes:
- a means for preventing test fraud;
- a means for identifying the subject;
- a user identification input device, a sensory input device, an actuator, a sensory output device, and a processing device for receiving said data from said input device to at least evaluate, identify, screen, test, train, or any combination thereof a personal condition of said subject.
A method for automatically testing, evaluating, screening, training, or any combination thereof for at least one of cognition, knowledge, operation skills, physical property, sensation, or vision of a subject comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an identity means which is able to authenticate, establish, identify, validate, verify, or any combination thereof the identity of a subject,
- (b) providing an instruction means which is able to directly or indirectly communicate to said subject,
- (c) providing a display means through which stimuli, such as sensory stimuli, are presented,
- (d) conducting a test sequence with said subject based on said stimuli,
- (e) providing an input means, such as a sensory input means, through which said subject may respond to said stimuli, wherein said steps of conducting a test sequence each includes the steps of generating test data for simulating a test to be presented on said display, generating instruction data prior to test sequence administration, processing an inputting of response data during said test sequences, generating further instruction data based on determining whether said inputted response data is correct or incorrect,
- (f) providing an activating means through which a sensory device is coupled to an actuator interface,
- (g) providing a computing means to compute data which is inputted,
- (h) providing a processing means through which data is analyzed, compiled, correlated, interpreted, scored, shared, or any combination thereof,
- (i) providing a memory means through which said data is securely collected and stored,
- (j) providing an output means, such as a sensory output means, through which said data is outputted,
- (k) providing a detecting means through which at least one of conditions, deficits, diseases, or injuries of said subject may be identified, and
- (l) providing a security means through which data, identity of subject, or any combination thereof is protected.
