Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an eye-tracking teaching system, and more particularly to an eye-tracking teaching system that enables users, educators or institutions to arrange multiple course files to facilitate learning, teaching and assessment. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Currently, patients with ALS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, head trauma, stroke, spinal muscular atrophy, hereditary spastic lower body paralysis, and all limb and learning disabilities can learn and express themselves through eye-tracking assistive devices and assistance.

[0003] However, these types of eye-tracking aids often require a certain learning process before they can be used smoothly. Therefore, learning aid software is very important, and a step-by-step teaching process is also very important. In the past, most of them could only be taught and used by real people visiting the patient's home. Teachers or therapists mostly used these eye-tracking aids to help patients with rehabilitation and learning through their own experience.

[0004] Therefore, if an eye movement teaching system platform can be established, allowing teachers or therapists to conduct online auxiliary teaching through the course software on the platform, it will be able to more effectively help patients with rehabilitation and learning. At the same time, teachers or therapists can also customize different courses by creating or editing course files to meet the needs of different patients. Therefore, the present invention should be the best solution. [Summary of the Invention]

Implementation Method

[0024] Other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The electrical connection described below in this invention refers to a connection behavior generated through wired or wireless connection methods, which enables electronic components to generate one-way and / or two-way transmission of digital signals and / or analog signals.

[0026] The processor described below in this invention is an MCU (Micro Controller Unit). The MCU includes at least a CPU, memory (e.g., ROM and RAM), and peripheral devices (e.g., ADC, DAC, GPIO, PWM). The actions, instructions, variables, and other data that can be programmed through the program are written into the memory, and then the CPU executes these programmed actions in sequence.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1A, the eye-tracking teaching system includes a service server device 1, a user device 2 and an eye-tracking detection device 3. The user device 2 is connected to the service server device 1, and the eye-tracking detection device 3 is connected to the user device 2.

[0028] The service server device 1 is a server device or a computing electronic device capable of achieving server functions.

[0029] The user device 2 is any electronic device, such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a server device, capable of computing and executing software applications and capable of connecting to the eye-tracking detection device 3. The user device 2 can connect to the service server device 1 to obtain (download) course files and / or assessment files, and the user device 2 is used to operate the course files and / or assessment files.

[0030] In addition, the user device 2 is equipped with an intermediary application unit that is connected to the service server device 1. The intermediary application unit is used to receive data and parameters transmitted from the local end (user device 2). Therefore, when the user operates the course file and / or assessment file, the local program (course file and / or assessment file) will collect eye movement signals and analyze and organize them into numerical reports or images, and then transmit them back to the service server device 1 through the intermediary application unit.

[0031] The eye-tracking device 3 is an eye controller used to replace the traditional mouse and keyboard, allowing the user's eyes to control the computer. The eye-tracking device 3 is connected to the user device 2 (the connection method can be wired or wireless). The eye-tracking device 3 is used to input commands so that the user can operate the content provided by the course file or / and assessment file when the course file or / and assessment file are in operation.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1B, the service server device 1 includes at least one processor 11 and at least one computer-readable recording medium 12, wherein the computer-readable recording medium 12 has an eye-tracking teaching application unit 121, and the computer-readable recording medium 12 further stores computer-readable instructions, which enable the eye-tracking teaching application unit 121 to operate when the processor 11 executes the computer-readable instructions.

[0033] The eye-tracking teaching application unit 121 can be built on a web interface platform (users can connect and use it through a browser on a computer or laptop) or an API interface platform (users can connect and use it by installing API software).

[0034] As shown in Figure 1B, the user device 2 includes at least one processor 21 and at least one computer-readable recording medium 22, wherein the computer-readable recording medium 22 contains an intermediate application unit 221 and a local program (course file and / or assessment file), wherein the computer-readable recording medium 22 further stores computer-readable instructions, which enable the intermediate application unit 221 and the local program (course file and / or assessment file) to operate when the processor 21 executes the computer-readable instructions.

[0035] In addition to the intermediary application unit 221, the computer can read the recording media 22 and download and / or store course files and / or assessment files.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1C, the eye movement detection device 3 (such as a PCEye eye tracker) can be fixed below the screen 20 of the user device 2. However, this fixing method is only one implementation method. Different fixing methods can be used depending on the type of eye movement detection device 3. The detection point 31 of the eye movement detection device 3 is used to detect eye movements.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2, the eye-tracking teaching application unit 121 includes a member information module 12100, a login module 12101, an account switching module 12102, a binding link module 12103, a course information module 12104, a course operation module 12105, a search module 12106, an evaluation information module 12107, an evaluation operation module 12108, a recommended course module 12109, an assigned course module 12110, a teaching status management module 12111, and a member analysis module 12112.

[0038] The member data module 12100 is used to set and store user accounts with different permissions. The different permissions of the user account can be one or more of personal use permissions, teaching use permissions, and institutional use permissions.

[0039] In this context, "personal use permission" refers to accounts used by students (student accounts).

[0040] Among them, the teaching access permission refers to the account used by teachers for teaching (education version account).

[0041] Among them, the institutional usage permission refers to the account used by an institution or organization (institutional version account).

[0042] Among them, the user account with personal access permissions has the following permission functions as an example: automatically recommending courses after registration, watching eye-tracking course videos, downloading eye-tracking course materials and software, understanding the course learning status through learning performance reports, and granting individual account authorization.

[0043] Among them, the user accounts with teaching access permissions have the following examples of permission functions: assigning courses, creating and editing customized courses, all personal version account functions, including downloading and operating courses, viewing individual students' learning performance reports to understand the course learning status, course teaching analysis, overall learning performance analysis, individual teaching account authorization, and authorization of multiple student version accounts (this function can only be done by self-subscribed educational versions; educational versions under institutions cannot add or authorize student version accounts themselves).

[0044] Among them, the user accounts of the institution's access permissions have the following examples of permission functions: managing personal accounts and educational accounts under the institution, individual student learning performance analysis, individual teacher teaching / student learning performance analysis, overall course teaching / student learning performance analysis, educational functions under the institution (including assigning courses, creating and editing customized courses, and viewing student / overall learning performance reports), personal functions under the institution (including downloading and operating courses, and personal learning performance analysis), authorization for multiple teaching accounts, and authorization for multiple student accounts.

[0045] In addition, the institutional version account in this case is mainly used to manage teachers and students under the institution. Therefore, the institutional version can create multiple teaching accounts and personal accounts. The teaching account created by the institutional version has all the functions of the personal version account. However, because it belongs to the institution, the educational version account under the institution cannot bind, add or delete student version accounts on its own.

[0046] In addition, the institutional version account in this case can define the functions and permissions that can be used by the educational version account or / and student version account under the institution.

[0047] In addition, education version accounts subscribed under an individual's name are not subject to the above restrictions and can be bound, added, and deleted by the individual.

[0048] The login module 12101 and the account switching module 12102 are connected to the member data module 12100. The login module is used to log in to user accounts with different permissions, and the account switching module 12102 is used to switch the different permissions of the user account.

[0049] As shown in Figure 3A, the user can connect to the service server device 1 through the user device 2 and enter a login screen 1211. After entering the account and password on the login screen 1211, the user can log in to the user account. Then, as shown in Figure 3B, the user will enter the main operation screen 1212, which can display various course content. The main operation screen 1212 will also prompt the user to install software (the software mentioned here is the middleware application unit 221). After installing the middleware application unit 221, the user account with personal access rights can select any course file to install for subsequent use.

[0050] When a user clicks on a course and enters the course page, if the system detects that the user has not installed the intermediary application unit 221, a prompt to install the software will pop up. Once the intermediary application has been installed, it will automatically start when the user starts up in the future. If the platform detects the intermediary application, the installation prompt will not pop up again.

[0051] After a user account with multiple usage permissions logs in, the main operation screen 1213 shown in Figure 3C will be displayed. The main operation screen 1213 has a drop-down switching menu to switch user accounts with different permissions (switch course users).

[0052] The binding link module 12103 is connected to the member data module 12100, so that the user account with teaching access rights can be bound to at least one user account with personal access rights, and the user account with institutional access rights can be bound to at least one user account with teaching access rights and at least one user account with personal access rights.

[0053] The course data module 12104 is connected to the member data module 12100 and is used to set up various course files. The content of the course file is one or a combination of visual perception learning content, children's cognitive learning content, adults' cognitive learning content, and computer operation learning content.

[0054] The visual perception learning content is one or a combination of one or more of the following: a focus learning content, a saccadic ability learning content, a tracking ability learning content, and a gaze ability learning content. The above learning content is described as follows: (1) Focus learning content: Incorporate relevant content such as videos or pictures that the user is interested in into the software, allowing the user to continuously focus and watch with their eyes, thereby improving focus. (2) Saccadic ability learning content: Utilize scenes with concentrated objects or levels that require coloring the entire surface to train the user's eye movement ability. The user only needs to move their eyes to scan the objects to generate feedback and pass the level. This trains saccadic ability. (3) Tracking ability learning content: Allow objects to move in any direction. The user must quickly move their eyes and continuously look at the moving objects, thereby training the eye tracking ability. The training software can also count the user's gaze and tracking time to understand the user's tracking ability. (4) Gazing ability learning content: Through training software or picture card software, the user is given the opportunity to operate. Users must use their eyes and gaze at an object for a set number of seconds before a response is generated, indicating that the object has been successfully selected.

[0055] The children's cognitive learning content is one or a combination of cognitive learning content, phonetic curriculum content, etc. The above learning content is described as follows: (1) Cognitive learning content: Based on the training objectives and content, different cognitive subjects are formulated, such as: the cognition of family roles, the cognition of colors and shapes, the cognition of number quantifiers, or the cognition of different festivals and vocabulary. (2) Phonetic curriculum content: The teaching themes of phonetic symbols, initials, and finals, and progressing to the usage of phonetic pinyin.

[0056] The adult cognitive learning content is one or a combination of the following: visual-spatial and executive learning content, memory learning content, naming learning content, orientation learning content, language learning content, calculation ability learning content, abstract ability learning content, and attention learning content. The above learning content is described as follows: (1) Visual-spatial and executive learning content: Training users to recognize and train the position and order of numbers, as well as the correct appearance of shaped objects. (2) Memory learning content: Using different object cards or different words, users are given the opportunity to memorize them, and after 5 minutes, they are asked to choose again to repeatedly practice memorization. (3) Naming learning content: Users are shown different animal or fruit object cards and asked to answer the correct name of the object. (4) Orientation learning content: Training users to understand the current date, day of the week, time, location, and city. (5) Language learning content: Using cards and words, users are trained to recognize different words, including words for water, animals, objects, or various words and content used in daily life. (6) Calculation ability learning content: Use different mathematical formulas to train users' calculation abilities of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. (7) Abstract thinking learning content: Place the same type of picture cards together and ask users to select the correct category. For example, seeing an apple and an orange can remind users of fruits, and seeing a puppy and a horse can remind users of animals. (8) Attention learning content: Show users a string of numbers and ask them to repeat it in order, or in reverse order, or find the specified number in a question.

[0057] The computer operation learning content is one or a combination of basic computer operation learning content, word processing learning content, social media software learning content, and creative extension learning content. The above learning content is described as follows: (1) Computer operation learning content: teaching users how to use eye-tracking software to operate the left mouse button, right mouse button, drag and type functions, and use eye tracking to open a browser to browse web pages. (2) Word processing learning content: teaching users how to use eye-tracking software to operate Word, PPT, and other word processing software installed on the computer. (3) Social media software learning content: teaching users how to use eye-tracking software to operate social media software such as Line and Facebook, send messages, post, and interact with others. (4) Creative extension learning content: teaching users how to use eye-tracking software to operate other professional design software (such as Adobe Photoshop), and use eye-tracking software to perform graphic design and video editing.

[0058] The course data module 12104 can set one or more course categories for the content of different course files, and set one or more course category tags and one or more course level tags according to different course categories.

[0059] Each course file in the course data module 12104 can be designed with an editing function. The course data module 12104 can also set a usage permission and an editing permission for different course files and different user accounts. The user account with the usage permission can operate the course file, while the user account with the editing permission can operate the editing function of the course file to edit the course file and then send the edited course file back to the course data module 12104 to update the course file.

[0060] The course operation module 12105 is connected to the course data module 12104 to operate the course file. The course operation module 12105 downloads and operates the course file through the user device 2.

[0061] After any course file is operated, course learning effectiveness information can be generated. The learning effectiveness screen 1214 of the course learning effectiveness information, as shown in Figures 4A to 4F, contains personal information (Figure 4A), learning effectiveness data (Figure 4B), course usage data (Figure 4C), course record data (Figure 4D), eye muscle assessment report data (Figure 4E), and cognitive assessment report data (Figure 4F). Figures 4A to 4F are implementation examples of course learning effectiveness information generated by a user account with personal access rights operating a course file (Figures 4A to 4F are the content of the same learning effectiveness screen 1214, only different content is presented in separate images).

[0062] The search module 12106 is connected to the course data module 12104 and is used to search for different course files.

[0063] The assessment data module 12107 is connected to the member data module 12100 and is used to set up various assessment files. The content of the assessment file is one or a combination of eye muscle assessment, eye control cognitive assessment, and child cognitive assessment.

[0064] The eye muscle assessment includes: (1) Focus: Focusing the eyes on a moving object within a certain time. (2) Sagging ability: Four target objects appear in the picture at the same time, and the test subject must complete the saccade assessment within a certain time. (3) Tracking ability: Three designated target objects appear in the picture at the same time, and the test subject's eyes need to follow the movement of the objects and find the three designated target objects in sequence within a specified time. (4) Gaze ability: Looking at the film in two areas. (5) Eye movement heat map: It can accurately capture and display the areas where an individual's gaze falls most frequently, forming visual heat maps. These heat map areas reveal the degree of attention an individual pays to specific visual elements, thus allowing researchers and developers to understand and analyze the patterns of focus. In addition, by comparing the heat maps of different individuals or the same individual under different conditions, this method can be used to identify weaker areas of focus, providing a scientific basis for personalized focus training and improvement programs. (6) Eye movement path analysis: The chart can not only show the specific path of the gaze moving from one point to another, but also analyze the speed and smoothness of the eye shifting between different targets. By presenting the path, we can accurately identify the weak points of an individual in the visual tracking process, thus providing an empirical basis for targeted training and ability enhancement strategies.

[0065] The eye-tracking cognitive assessment includes: (1) Visual-spatial executive ability assessment: (a) Using number cards, the user is asked to look at the cards and connect them according to the numerical order and size. (1 point) (b) The user is asked to draw the same pattern by connecting the lines according to the question. (1 point) (c) The user is asked to operate the hour and minute hands of the clock according to the question to adjust the time to the same time. (1 point) (d) The user's visual-spatial executive ability is assessed by the results of the three questions (total score of 3 points). (2) Memory ability assessment: (a) The user is asked to memorize 5 cards, each card is displayed for 3 seconds, and then select the 5 cards that have just appeared from 8 objects. (b) After 5 minutes, the user is asked to select the 5 cards that have just appeared again. (c) The user's memory status is assessed by the test (maximum score of 5 points). (3) Naming Ability Assessment: (a) A textual question, such as "Please find which one is a zebra," is presented first. Then, the user is asked to find the correct animal picture card from 4 picture cards. (b) There are 4 questions, each worth 1 point. The user's naming assessment ability is assessed through the test (4 points in total). (4) Orientation Ability Assessment: (a) The user is asked to select their current location and today's date based on the question. (b) There are 2 questions, each worth 3 points. The user's orientation ability is assessed through their answers (6 points in total). (5) Language Ability Assessment: (a) The user is asked to select the picture card related to the question within one minute (e.g., select all the pictures of fruits within one minute). (b) The user's language ability is assessed through the answer (2 points in total). (6) Calculation Ability Assessment: (a) The user is asked to subtract 7 consecutively from 100, and calculate the answer after five subtractions of 7. One point is awarded for each correct subtraction (5 points in total). (b) The user's calculation ability is assessed through the answer. (7) Abstract Concept Ability Assessment: (a) Give the user two pictures and ask the user to select the category of the pictures. For example, the pictures are oranges and watermelons. Which category do they belong to? Options may include "fruit" and "vehicle". (b) There are 3 questions in total (3 points in total). The answer results are used to understand the user's abstract concept ability. (8) Attention Assessment: (a) Ask the user to select the correct number or answer according to the question. (b) There are 2 questions in total (2 points in total). The answer results are used to understand the user's attention status. (9) Eye Control Cognition Comprehensive Ability Assessment: The above 8 assessment results are combined into a score. The full score is 30 points. A score of more than 26 points is considered normal. (10) Among them, the child cognitive assessment is based on children of different age groups. Different basic knowledge themes are prepared. Through picture cards and sounds, children are trained to recognize numbers, tableware, shapes, fruits, or their own facial features.(11) The assessment operation module 12108 is connected to the assessment data module 12107 to operate the assessment file and generate assessment result information.

[0066] The assessment result information is the assessment result of the eye muscle assessment, which is one or a combination of a focus assessment result, a gaze ability assessment result, a saccadic ability assessment result, a tracking ability assessment result, and an eye muscle comprehensive ability assessment result.

[0067] The assessment result information is the assessment result of the eye-control cognitive assessment (the assessment result information in this embodiment is judged based on the MOCA index).
