Method for categorizing, describing and modeling types of system users: Key Neurotech Patent #7

– Illustrative image from U.S. Patent No. 6,405,159 Today we are sharing a 2002 patent assigned to AT&T Labs, Inc. (As mentioned, we are featuring a foundational Pervasive Neurotech patent a day, from older to newer by issue date) U.S. Patent No. 6,405,159: Method for categorizing, describing and modeling types of system users Assignee(s): AT&T Labs, Inc. Inventor(s): Robert R. Bushey, Jennifer M. Mauney Technology Category: NeuroCognitive Training Issue Date: June 11, 2002 SharpBrains’ Take: While user interfaces (UIs) are often generically built for large groups, organizations or even the general population, the ‘159 patent discloses teachings that recognize that models of each user based on unique personal indicators may be applied to tailor a UI to specific individuals and increase performance in important behavioral areas. The system considers and charts users on many dimensions, including cognitive workload (as recited in dependent claim 9), in order to model the user and provide a customizable UI. The ‘159 patent includes a robust specification with 21 illustration sheets and 22 pages of written description. Factors that make the ‘159 patent a key non-invasive neurotechnology include the extensive specification and the importance of considering individual cognition to improve quality and quantity of individual contributions through better computing interfaces. Abstract: A method for categorizing, describing, and modeling types of system users w...
