Systems and methods for automated scoring of a user's performance

A method of evaluating a user's performance, the method comprising:

• capturing, using a first mobile communications device, first audio data and first visual data associated with a user's performance;
• analyzing, using the first mobile communications device, the first audio data during the user's performance to determine if the first audio data meets an audio quality requirement;
• generating a first signal based on a determination that the first audio data does not meet the audio quality requirement;
• analyzing, using the first mobile communications device, the first visual data during the user's performance to determine if the first visual data meets a video quality requirement;
• generating a second signal based on a determination that the first visual data does not meet the video quality requirement;
• capturing, using a second mobile communications device, second audio data and second visual data associated with the user's performance, the second visual data capturing a different field of view than the first visual data;
• transmitting, using the second mobile communications device, the second audio data and the second visual data to a remote computing system, the remote computing system (i) analyzing the second audio data and the second visual data, (ii) determining if the user is receiving unauthorized assistance or utilizing unauthorized material in the performance, and (iii) transmitting a third signal to the second mobile communications device based on a determination that the user is receiving the unauthorized assistance or utilizing the unauthorized material;
• terminating, using the second mobile communications device, the capturing of the audio and visual data by the first and second mobile communications devices based on a receipt of the first, second, or third signals, the second mobile communications device being configured to (i) receive the first and second signals from the first mobile communications device, and (ii) transmit a signal to the first mobile communications device to terminate the capturing of the first audio and visual data;
• and
• determining, using a computer-based scoring system, a score for the user's performance based on a plurality of numerical measures that are determined by processing the first audio data and the first visual data with a computer processing system, the score being determined automatically and without human intervention.
