Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of attention assessment technology, and in particular to a continuous concentration assessment system and method based on multi-dimensional data. Background Art

[0002] During a child's growth process, attention is a key factor affecting their learning and quality of life. In a school environment, children with focused attention can absorb knowledge efficiently and have significantly higher learning efficiency than children with inattention; children with inattention are more likely to miss key knowledge points, which in turn affects their academic performance. In the medical field, accurately assessing a child's attention status is of great significance for the diagnosis of diseases such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and is an important basis for formulating scientific treatment plans. Educational training institutions also need to optimize teaching content and methods based on the students' attention status to improve teaching effectiveness.

[0003] However, existing technologies have many shortcomings. The commonly used concentration test methods internationally only assess attention based on the speed and accuracy of ordinary answering questions, while children's attention is affected by many factors such as emotions and environmental interference. These factors cannot be reflected in simple answering data, resulting in the evaluation results being difficult to fully and truly reflect the children's attention level. Some studies use the average EEG value within a fixed time to judge concentration, but EEG signals are extremely weak and require high-multiple amplification during collection and processing, which will amplify environmental noise and the device's own interference signals, resulting in larger errors. In addition, existing testing methods generally have the problem of fixed test duration. Young children have limited endurance and attention span. Faced with tests of 15-30 minutes or even longer, they are easily distracted by emotions such as fatigue and boredom, resulting in the inability to complete the test or inaccurate results, which cannot truly reflect their attention level. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Optionally, when generating the individual curve, a preset abnormality judgment rule is used to perform abnormality judgment, including: comparing and analyzing the data of each dimension in the individual curve with the characteristics of the baseline, and combining the abnormality judgment rule to judge the abnormality of the data of each dimension; when indicators of more than two dimensions are judged to be abnormal, it is determined that the attention state is attenuated and marked as an observation period.

[0010] Optionally, the attenuation characteristic value of the individual curve is extracted by the symmetric rotation equivariant convolution technology, including: constructing a model for extracting the attenuation characteristic value of the individual curve, wherein a symmetric rotation equivariant convolution layer is configured to extract the basic features of the rotation equivariance of the individual curve, a multi-scale feature pyramid module is configured to capture the attenuation pattern of different time scales, and an attenuation feature regression module is configured to output the attenuation characteristic value; based on the training data set, and using a three-stage training method, the model is trained to extract the attenuation characteristic value of the individual curve using the trained model.

[0024] The following describes the specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that the acquisition, transmission, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution of this application are in compliance with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations. In the embodiments of this application, certain software, components, models, and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned. These should be considered as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of this application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use such solutions.

[0026] During a child's development, attention, as a core cognitive ability, directly impacts learning efficiency, knowledge absorption, and overall behavior. In education, children with focused attention are more likely to achieve their learning goals, while those with inattention face learning difficulties and academic lags. Therefore, developing a more accurate and efficient attention assessment system is crucial.

[0027] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a continuous concentration assessment system and method based on multi-dimensional data. By integrating multi-dimensional data of EEG, eye movements and behavioral responses, combined with deep learning to construct dynamic attenuation baselines and individual baselines, and using symmetric rotation and equivariant convolution to accurately capture attention attenuation characteristics, real-time monitoring and early warning across scenarios are achieved. Its adaptive test duration adjustment mechanism and anti-interference data processing technology significantly improve the assessment accuracy, which can meet the precise needs of educational diagnosis, medical rehabilitation and other fields for quantitative analysis of individualized concentration.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides a continuous concentration assessment system based on multidimensional data. The continuous concentration assessment system includes: a multidimensional data acquisition module for collecting multidimensional test data according to preset time intervals and sequences, the multidimensional test data including question-answering response data, EEG activity data, and eye movement data; a curve construction module for constructing a baseline including prefrontal EEG signal activity, the proportion of time spent looking at the screen, and parameters related to question-answering response based on a portion of the collected multidimensional test data, and processing the collected multidimensional test data using a sliding window technique to generate an individual curve with the same characteristics as the baseline; an analysis module for performing an abnormality warning judgment using a preset abnormality judgment rule when generating the individual curve; and a control module for entering an early warning observation period after the abnormality warning is triggered, extracting the attenuation characteristic value of the individual curve using the symmetric rotation equivariant convolution technique, and activating an assessment termination mechanism when the early warning observation period ends and the attenuation characteristic value still shows an abnormality, and using the duration from the start to the end of the test as an evaluation indicator for the continuous concentration duration.

[0029] The parameters related to the response to the questions may include the accuracy of the questions and / or the variability of the response time to the questions.

[0030] The embodiment of the present invention realizes high-precision dynamic extraction of concentration decay characteristics through multimodal data fusion (electroencephalogram signals, eye tracking and answer response data) and sliding window technology; based on the dynamically constructed individual baseline and multi-dimensional abnormality judgment rules, it can monitor attention fluctuations in real time and trigger an early warning mechanism, significantly improving the accuracy, anti-interference and personalized adaptability of concentration assessment, and can be widely used in quantitative analysis of attention status in education, medical care and human-computer interaction scenarios. In the embodiment of the invention, the (individual) baseline and individual curve (including the baseline) are constructed based on the individual's multi-dimensional test data, and the decay characteristic value is performed for the individual, making the monitoring of the continuous concentration assessment system more objective.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2For example, after collecting multidimensional test data, embodiments of the present invention preferably utilize an improved deep singular value decomposition (DSVD) denoising algorithm to effectively improve the quality of multidimensional test data. For example, when collecting multidimensional information such as children's EEG signals and eye movement data, noise such as power frequency interference, electromyographic artifacts, and ambient light fluctuations can easily be mixed in, making it difficult for traditional methods to accurately separate signal from noise. The DSVD denoising algorithm, however, constructs a deep neural network to automatically learn noise distribution characteristics and utilizes a learnable nonlinear transformation layer to adaptively separate the signal subspace from the noise subspace. This algorithm can fully preserve subtle features in EEG signals, such as changes in the power of the prefrontal alpha, beta, theta, and gamma waves that reflect attentional states, while efficiently removing various types of noise interference, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the EEG signals. It also effectively purifies interference information in the eye movement data, resulting in a purer multidimensional data. This lays a solid foundation for the subsequent precise extraction of attenuation feature values ​​using symmetric rotation and equivariant convolution techniques, and for accurate anomaly detection and concentration assessment based on the attenuation curve baseline, effectively ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the results of the continuous concentration assessment system.

[0032] Furthermore, image data in the multidimensional test data are randomly selected and downsampled; the downsampled image data are spliced ​​in a grid form to generate a hybrid image so that the image retains multi-scale information; the labels of all categories in the generated hybrid image are merged to generate a hybrid image label in a multi-hot encoding form to improve label diversity.

[0033] The system further optimizes the image data in the multidimensional test data using data augmentation techniques. By randomly selecting and downsampling images, the downsampled images are then spliced ​​together in a grid to create a hybrid image. Labels are then merged to form multi-hot encoded hybrid image labels. This series of operations effectively creates a rich and diverse "learning material" for the model. On the one hand, the hybrid image preserves multi-scale information, enabling the model to learn image features at different levels of detail and enhance its understanding of complex image structures. On the other hand, the multi-hot encoded labels enrich the label diversity, better meeting the requirements of multi-label image classification training. This allows the model to access more comprehensive sample information during training, thereby improving its generalization and robustness. These data processing methods work closely together, from unified integration of the temporal dimension of the data, to data quality purification and enhancement, to enrichment and enhancement of data features, comprehensively optimizing the data processing process. This effectively reduces data errors and interference, improves data availability, and provides solid and reliable data support for the subsequent system's use of symmetric rotation and equivariant convolution techniques to extract data features and accurately assess continuous focus, significantly improving the accuracy and stability of the entire evaluation system.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the construction of a baseline including the activity of prefrontal EEG signals, the proportion of time spent looking at the screen, and the variability of reaction time to answer questions may include: normalizing and correcting part of the collected multidimensional test data, extracting the characteristics of the activity of prefrontal EEG signals, the proportion of time spent looking at the screen, and the variability of reaction time to answer questions to obtain multimodal features; and using a weighted Gaussian mixture model to fuse the multimodal features to obtain the baseline.

[0035] Among them, part of the multidimensional test data can be the multidimensional test data collected at the beginning of the preset time period of the tester. After extracting the characteristics of the activity of the prefrontal EEG signal, the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen, and the variability of the reaction time to answer questions, each feature can also be expanded. For example, the alpha wave envelope slope (i.e., the time-varying characteristics of the prefrontal EEG signal) can be added to the characteristics of the activity of the prefrontal EEG signal, the gaze hotspot transfer entropy (i.e., the eye movement characteristics) can be added to the characteristics of the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen, and the reaction acceleration ratio (the rate of change of reaction time in the later trials, i.e., the reaction pattern) can be added to the characteristics of the variability of the reaction time to answer questions.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, a weighted Gaussian mixture model is used to fuse the multimodal features. The weighted Gaussian mixture model can be constructed using the following formula:

[0037]

[0038] Among them, X is part of the multidimensional test data after normalization and correction, K is the preset number of clusters, and w k can be the weight set according to expert experience, u k is the mean vector of the k-th feature, Σ k is the diagonal covariance matrix.

[0039] When using a weighted Gaussian mixture model to fuse the multimodal features and obtain a baseline, drift detection can also be performed. When significant drift is detected, a learning engine can be added to the weighted Gaussian mixture model to perform a credibility assessment. When the credibility exceeds a threshold, the baseline is corrected. For example, the test subject can be prompted to close their eyes for three minutes before preparing for the test.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 For example, an embodiment of the present invention uses WGMM to capture the nonlinear relationship between features to achieve multimodal joint probability modeling; uses a static statistical baseline combined with a dynamic probability baseline to achieve a dual-track baseline; and based on the combination of drift detection and incremental learning, it adaptively updates in real time and provides an accurate baseline.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sliding window technology is used to process the collected multidimensional test data and generate an individual curve with the same characteristics as the baseline, including: initializing the sliding window and its parameter configuration according to a preset step size; extracting the characteristics of the activity of the frontal lobe EEG signal, the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen, and the variability of the reaction time to answer questions within the current sliding window to obtain multimodal features; fusing the multimodal features and performing time axis alignment processing and missing value processing to generate an individual curve of the current sliding window; and executing the window closing process.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the sliding window and its parameter configuration are initialized according to a preset step size (detection interval, for example, data is collected once every 1s after the test starts). For example, parameter configurations such as the time-driven window, window length, sliding step size, minimum proportion of valid data, and time-triggered window are defined. Within the current sliding window, the above-mentioned weighted Gaussian mixture model can be reused to extract the characteristics of the activity of the frontal lobe EEG signal, the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen, and the variability of the response time to answer questions to obtain multimodal features, and after time axis alignment processing and missing value processing, the individual curve of the current sliding window is generated. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a multi-level window architecture can be utilized, which can include a time-driven window (preset step size) and an event-driven window (events such as task start, task end, and curve presentation). Furthermore, the window closing process can be executed when the end time of the window is reached. For example, the window mark can be invalidated and the buffer memory can be released for resource recovery.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, window parameters can also be dynamically adjusted based on data quality. For example, when the EEG activity data quality is poor, the window time can be extended; when the eye movement loss rate is high, an event-driven window can be switched; when a high-frequency response period occurs, the window time can be shortened, etc.

[0044] The embodiment of the present invention achieves the generation of high-quality individual curves through a carefully designed sliding window mechanism and multimodal feature calculation, providing reliable data support for continuous concentration assessment.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when generating the individual curve, a preset abnormality judgment rule is used to perform abnormality judgment, including: if the parameter characteristics related to the answering reaction show that the dynamic average accuracy within the first preset time is less than the corresponding characteristics in the baseline, and the variance of the answering reaction time is greater than multiple times the dynamic variance of the dimension data within the first preset time, and the duration exceeds the preset abnormal time, then the indicator of the answering reaction state dimension is abnormal; if the characteristics of the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen show that the visual concentration is lower than the preset value, then the indicator of the eye movement state dimension is abnormal; if the characteristics of the activity of the prefrontal EEG signal show that it is lower than the corresponding characteristics in the baseline by a preset degree, then the indicator of the EEG activity state dimension is abnormal.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, for each dimension in the test data, the extracted feature values ​​are compared and analyzed in real time with the data of the corresponding time and dimension on the pre-built individual baseline. Through careful comparison, subtle changes in the data can be keenly captured. Combined with the preset abnormality judgment rules, this module can accurately judge the abnormality of the data in each dimension. When the data of more than one dimension is judged to be abnormal and there is no reverse trend in the remaining dimensions, the system will determine that the attention state has been significantly reduced. This judgment method that integrates multi-dimensional data and considers the trend relationship between data avoids misjudgment caused by single-dimensional abnormalities, is more in line with the complex actual situation of children's attention changes, and significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of judgment. Once the attention state is judged to be significantly reduced, or the test time reaches the test time corresponding to the subject, the system will immediately stop the multi-source data acquisition module for data collection, promptly terminate the invalid or achieved data collection process, and improve evaluation efficiency. Based on the abnormality of the data in each dimension and the judgment results, combined with the individual baseline, a comprehensive and integrated assessment of the child's continuous concentration is performed, and the continuous concentration duration is determined. This evaluation method is no longer limited to simple data comparison, but fully considers the changing trends, abnormal situations and baseline standards of the data. It can more realistically and accurately reflect the children's concentration state during the test, and provide extremely valuable reference for education, medical care and other fields related to children's attention, which will help to formulate more scientific and reasonable intervention measures and teaching plans.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when generating the individual curve, a preset abnormality judgment rule is used to perform abnormality judgment, including: comparing and analyzing the data of each dimension in the individual curve with the characteristics of the baseline, and combining the abnormality judgment rule to judge the abnormality of the data of each dimension; when the indicators of more than two dimensions are judged to be abnormal, it is determined that the attention state is attenuated and marked as an observation period.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a scientific and flexible early warning mechanism is added to the continuous concentration assessment system, which significantly improves the safety and effectiveness of the assessment process. When the system detects that two dimensional data are judged to be abnormal, it immediately starts the high-frequency acquisition and analysis mode to conduct real-time and intensive tracking and monitoring of the abnormal dimensional data. During the observation period, if the abnormal dimensional data is restored to a state consistent with the subject's own previous normal fluctuation range, it indicates that the subject may have only a short-term fluctuation in attention or is subject to instantaneous interference. The system will automatically restore the normal test process to avoid unnecessary test interruptions and ensure the continuity of the assessment process. Once the preset time period is exceeded and the abnormal data still fails to return to normal, it means that there is a persistent problem with the subject's attention state. The system will immediately trigger the stop test instruction and terminate the test process in time, which can not only avoid the generation of invalid data, but also prevent the subject from being affected by excessive fatigue or poor condition. The accuracy of the test results is affected, providing a dynamic and reliable risk management guarantee for the entire assessment process.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, accurate and targeted abnormality judgment rules are set for each dimension of data: for answering response data, by comparing the dynamic average accuracy rate within the first preset time with the corresponding value in the individual baseline, and combining the relationship between the total average and the dynamic average and standard deviation, while considering the duration of the abnormal state, it can effectively eliminate accidental fluctuations and accurately identify abnormal answering responses caused by decreased attention; eye movement data uses the preset value of visual concentration as the measurement standard. Once it is lower than this value, it is determined that the child has a distracted state; EEG activity data is compared with the individual baseline by the difference ratio. When the EEG activity data is significantly lower than the EEG activity data recorded in the individual baseline, it can be perceived as abnormal brain neural activity and judged as abnormal attention state. These rules start from multiple dimensions such as cognitive behavior, visual attention and brain neural activity, and comprehensively cover data related to children's attention, providing a reliable basis for accurately judging children's attention abnormalities, and significantly improving the accuracy and credibility of the evaluation results.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5For example, consider a 7-year-old participant undergoing a continuous attention assessment. After the test begins, multi-dimensional data acquisition modules operate synchronously: During the visual response phase, participants identify and click on changing graphics on a computer screen, with the system recording their response data in real time. An EEG headband collects EEG signals from the Fp1 and Fp2 locations of their prefrontal cortex. A 3D camera also captures their eye movements. Four minutes into the test, the system detects the following abnormal signals: The dynamic accuracy rate for the response data over the past minute (corresponding to the first preset time period) is 76%, significantly lower than the 90% average for the corresponding time period in the individual's baseline. Furthermore, the response variance during this period is more than 2.5 times the baseline variance, and this state persists for 31 seconds, exceeding the set trigger threshold (20 seconds), meeting the criteria for abnormal response data. Eye movement data analysis reveals that the participant spent 50% of their time gazing at the center of the screen in the last minute, below the preset lower limit and thus identified as abnormal eye movement. EEG activity data indicates that the participant's signal strength in the target band is only 8.5 μV. 2 / Hz, which is significantly lower than the corresponding value in its individual baseline, is also considered abnormal. Since two or more data dimensions are judged to be abnormal in a row, the system automatically enters the early warning observation period. During this stage, the system continuously monitors whether various indicators show a recovery trend. If at the end of the early warning observation period, the comprehensive attenuation value still does not meet the recovery judgment conditions, the system automatically terminates the assessment. In the end, the system assessed that the participant's effective continuous concentration time was approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds, and generated visual charts and individualized assessment reports based on multi-dimensional data to provide a quantitative basis for subsequent education or medical intervention.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the continuous concentration evaluation system also includes a result presentation module, which is used to: generate a visual chart based on the concentration evaluation result to show the attenuation change trend and the final determined continuous concentration duration value; generate and display the concentration evaluation result.

[0052] Among them, the charts intuitively show the attenuation trend and changes in focus time. The report presents the evaluation results in detail and gives targeted corrective suggestions, making the evaluation results easier to understand and apply, and improving the practical value of the system.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the baseline construction module is further used to compare the individual baseline with the attenuation curve baseline. When the difference between the data recorded on the individual baseline and the data recorded on the attenuation curve baseline is too large, the test is terminated.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, extracting the attenuation characteristic values ​​of the individual curves using symmetric rotational equivariant convolution technology includes: constructing a model for extracting the attenuation characteristic values ​​of the individual curves. A symmetric rotational equivariant convolution layer is configured to extract basic features of the rotational equivariance of the individual curves; a multi-scale feature pyramid module is configured to capture attenuation patterns at different time scales; and an attenuation feature regression module is configured to output the attenuation characteristic values. The model is trained based on a training dataset and using a three-stage training method, so that the trained model can be used to extract the attenuation characteristic values ​​of the individual curves.

[0055] Symmetric rotation equivariant convolution is a convolutional neural network technology that maintains equivariance under symmetric transformations such as rotation and reflection. For attenuation feature extraction in time series, it has the advantages of being insensitive to curve phase shifts, automatically capturing multi-scale attenuation patterns, and reducing the need for data enhancement. Please refer to Figure 6 For example, a model constructed for extracting the attenuation feature value of the individual curve may include an input layer (the number of channels is, for example, 3); the symmetric rotation equivariant convolution layer may be configured with a rotation number of, for example, 12, and a convolution kernel size of, for example, 15; the multi-scale feature pyramid module may be configured with a scale number of, for example, 3, and an expansion rate of [1, 3, 5]; the attenuation feature regression module may include an attenuation extractor may include branch channels (for example, 32) and an output layer, and the feature dimension may be, for example, 3.

[0056] Among them, the symmetric rotation equivariant convolution layer can be configured by the following formula:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, K is the rotational symmetry order, x represents the input curve, k represents the rotation index, rot() represents the rotation transformation operator, and w k represents the science department convolution kernel, Indicates the rotation angle.

[0059] Furthermore, the multi-objective loss function can be expressed as follows:

[0060] L=λ1L rate +λ2L stability +λ3L shape

[0061] Among them, λ1, λ2, λ3 represent weights, L rate Represents the attenuation rate loss, L stability Indicates the stability loss, L shape represents the morphological similarity loss.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the model is trained based on a training dataset and using a three-stage training method, so that the attenuation characteristic values ​​of the individual curves can be extracted using the trained model. For example, in the first stage (pre-training stage), the attenuation curve can be synthesized using a physical model; in the second stage (fine-tuning stage), the individual curves can be fine-tuned and gradually unfrozen, and the unfreezing can be performed from the output layer to the input layer; in the third stage (adaptive stage), domain adversarial training is performed based on unlabeled individual curves. Using the three-stage training method, the accuracy of the model can be improved.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation characteristic value of each dimension can include multiple indicators. For example, the attenuation characteristic value of the prefrontal EEG signal activity can include α indicating fatigue warning, β indicating attention stability, and γ indicating morphological abnormality.

[0064] The present invention utilizes symmetric rotational equivariant convolution technology to significantly improve the feature extraction capabilities of multidimensional data. By maintaining invariance to data transformations such as rotation and translation, it effectively addresses changes in EEG signal acquisition position caused by slight head movements during testing, stably extracting neural activity features and reducing the impact of environmental interference. By designing rotational equivariant filters of different scales, it achieves the fusion capture of multi-scale features such as microscopic gaze patterns and macroscopic saccade paths in eye movement data, comprehensively reflecting the distribution of visual attention. By constructing a multi-channel network architecture, it automatically learns the inherent correlations between different dimensions, such as response, EEG signals, and eye movement data, enabling collaborative analysis of multidimensional data. Furthermore, it leverages the data's symmetry prior to reduce the number of model parameters, reducing them by over 40% while ensuring assessment accuracy. This significantly improves real-time processing capabilities and meets the needs of dynamic assessment. This technology accurately captures attention decay characteristics, adapts to individual differences, and improves assessment efficiency. It is a key technology for achieving high-precision and robust continuous attention assessment, effectively ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the system's continuous attention assessment of children.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the analysis module is further configured to: for the data of each dimension in the individual curve, compare and analyze the extracted attenuation characteristic value with the characteristics of the baseline, and judge the abnormality of the data of each dimension in combination with the abnormality judgment rule; when the data of two or more dimensions are judged to be abnormal and there is no reverse trend in the remaining dimensions, the attention state is judged to be attenuated; when the attention state is judged to be attenuated or the test time reaches the test time corresponding to the subject, stop data collection.

[0066] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for evaluating continuous concentration, which may include steps S210-S240:

[0067] Step S210: Collect multi-dimensional test data according to a preset time interval and sequence, wherein the multi-dimensional test data includes question response data, EEG activity data, and eye movement data.

[0068] Step S220: Based on the collected part of the multidimensional test data, a baseline is constructed including the activity of the frontal lobe EEG signal, the proportion of time the eyes look at the screen, and parameters related to the answering response, and the collected multidimensional test data is processed using the sliding window technology to generate an individual curve with the same characteristics as the baseline.

[0069] Step S230: When generating the individual curve, use the preset abnormality judgment rules to perform abnormality warning judgment.

[0070] Step S240: After the abnormal warning is triggered, the warning observation period begins. The attenuation characteristic value of the individual curve is extracted through the symmetrical rotation equivariant convolution technology. When the warning observation period ends and the attenuation characteristic value still shows an abnormality, the evaluation termination mechanism is activated, and the time from the start to the end of the test is used as an evaluation indicator for the continuous concentration time.

[0071] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which enable a machine to execute the above-mentioned continuous concentration evaluation method.

[0072] Additionally, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably. The term "and / or" is simply used to describe a relationship between related objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the related objects.
