        A device and a process
        for managing alertness

        and quality interaction

        in two-way audio-video                               DEVELOPMENT PERIOD:
        communication platforms                              Conceptually since  2005,  intensively  from
                                                             2020 to date (national patent, EPO applicati-
                                                             on in progress).

        This invention is aimed at providing feedback        TARGET AUDIENCE:
        about alertness of users in two-way audio-video      Universities, schools, marketing departments,
        communication platforms comprising an agent          conference organisers.ç
        arranged to receive, track and/or analyse data
        from the users based on data provided by sen-
        sors and deployed digital devices forming one or
        more channels:

        •   system-processes channel for following speech,
            mouse and keyboard use, use of other programs,
        •   motor channel for following locomotion data of
            users,
        •   physiological channel for following physiological
            responses of users such as blood pressure,
            oxygenation, body temperature,
        •   neurological channel for following neuro-related
            data obtained via portable EEG devices or similar.

        Low alertness indicators include: frequent look-
        ing away from  the screen or camera, frequent        MARKETING ACTIVITIES
        yawning, longer-lasting speaking without micro-
        phone use, use of other programs or applications,    Financial investments are in progress for an op-
        eye movements in different directions, frequent      erational  implementation (standalone  and  via
        whole-body movements, changes in physiolog-          API), and an interest has been expressed by two
        ical and/or neurological parameters, or longer       Slovene companies (one of them prepared to in-
        absence from  the camera. High alertness is a        corporate  the invention into its product  that is
        state of active attention when, for example, us-     already visibly present on the market).
        ers mostly look at the screen or camera, promptly
        react to questions, messages and/or tasks, rarely
        or never yawn, or never or rarely disappear from
        the camera.
