Description

[0001] DEVICE FOR PROFILING, EVALUATION AND CONTROLLED APPLICATION OF PSYCHOMETRIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC TESTS

[0002] Neurocognitive, Neurobehavioral, Professional, Occupational, Vocational, and Educational

[0003] Field of invention

[0004]

[0001] This invention patent, situated in the technical field of human profiling, testing, and evaluation in its various modalities, refers to an integrated hardware and software device designed to facilitate the controlled application of psychometric, psychological, psychodiagnostic, neurocognitive, neurobehavioral, professional, occupational, vocational, educational, and other tests. It is equipped with a variety of sensors to collect physiological and neurological data, such as heart rate, galvanic skin potential, and brain activity via EEG. The device offers both online and offline operating modes, allowing access to and storage of user tests and responses. Furthermore, it supports the connection of various peripherals, including virtual reality glasses and headphones with integrated EEG, to expand testing functionalities in different contexts and environments.

[0005] Fundamentals of the invention and description of the state of the art.

[0006]

[0002] Since antiquity, people have sought to understand one another. For most of history, this process of evaluating others occurred informally and qualitatively, without any significant attempt at standardization or formalization. This, however, began to change in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the development of experimental psychology led to the search for scientific methods to study the human mind and behavior.

[0003] The first efforts to systematize human evaluation came from Sir Francis Galton, who, in the late 19th century, developed tests to measure individual differences in sensory and motor abilities. Galton pioneered the application of statistical methods to psychology and the creation of laboratories to measure human capabilities.

[0007]

[0004] Following the same tradition, at the beginning of the 20th century, Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon, in France, developed the first intelligence test to identify children who needed special education. The Binet-Simon test, introduced in 1905, was designed to measure cognitive abilities and provide an estimate of intellectual development. This test was later revised and adapted by Lewis Terman at Stanford University, resulting in the famous Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, which became a standard tool for measuring intelligence.

[0008]

[0005] With the First World War, there was a growing demand for psychological testing, especially in the United States. The US Army needed methods to select and classify soldiers, leading to the development of the Army Alpha and Army Beta tests, which were the first large-scale intelligence tests for adults.

[0009]

[0006] In the 1920s, the use of psychological tests expanded to other areas, including education, industry, and mental health. At that time, researchers like Rorschach introduced projective tests, such as the Rorschach Test, which uses the interpretation of inkblots to assess personality.

[0010]

[0007] In the following decades, psychometrics consolidated itself as a robust discipline, with significant advances in test theory and statistical analysis. The development of classical test theory (CTT) and, later, item response theory (IRT), improved the accuracy and validity of psychological tests. Over the years, different tests and methods have emerged for assessing personality, memory, vocational aptitude, and various other traits.

[0011]

[0008] More recently, advances in information technology and the Internet have enabled the development of tests that can be administered via computers, tablets, or smartphones. The use of technological devices for administering tests in digital format offers advantages such as convenience, automated scoring, the possibility of including interactive features, simplified data storage, and reduced application costs.

[0012]

[0009] However, there are also many problems associated with digital testing and assessments. Among them, we can mention:

[0013] • Lack of standardization in application conditions One of the fundamental points of standardized human assessment is that all individuals should be tested under similar conditions, allowing for comparison of results with a reference matrix. However, the wide heterogeneity in the quality and configuration of personal devices means that testing conditions differ for each person. In tests that consider reaction time, for example, individuals with slow devices may be disadvantaged.

[0014] • Intrusion of distracting stimuli To be reliable, any human assessment requires that the person being assessed be attentive to the test stimuli and protected from distracting stimuli. This protection is very difficult to achieve on cell phones, tablets, and computers, which constantly emit notifications, alerts, and other intrusive signals to their users.

[0015] • Most digital tests currently available are designed for administration via computer. However, as is known, not all computers have cameras or biometric mechanisms installed or available. Therefore, in many cases it is impossible to confirm whether the individual who participated in the assessment is indeed the person expected. In situations where the results of the assessments can influence important decisions, this type of loophole can lead to fraud that compromises the entire integrity of the process.

[0016] • Inequality among people in terms of familiarity with devices. In Brazil and worldwide, there is a huge number of people who are not familiar with using cell phones, tablets, or personal computers. These people are often confused by the different menus, buttons, and interaction tools that these devices offer. In the context of evaluation and testing, this difficulty can prevent the correct execution of the process, generating invalid and unreliable results.

[0017]

[0010] Given this scenario, the need to create a device that allows for the profiling, evaluation, and testing of people in a wide variety of situations, in a much more precise, controlled, simple, and reliable way than currently exists, becomes evident. However, an extensive search of the state of the art failed to find any device that meets all these requirements, further highlighting this need. This premise is supported by the following description of the patent applications closest to the technology requested herein:

[0018]

[0011] BR 11 2015 008043 This refers to methods, systems, and devices for acquiring and analyzing physiological signals. One aspect of the invention includes a physiological sensor device that has a substrate made of an electrically insulating material. This substrate is structured to allow physical contact with the frontal region of a user's head. The device also incorporates a recording electrode, configured at a first location on the substrate, to acquire an electrophysiological signal from the user. In addition, a reference electrode is configured at a second location on the substrate to acquire a reference signal for the electrophysiological signal. A grounding electrode is configured at a third location, at least partially between the first and second locations on the substrate. It is noted that this patent is limited to the acquisition and evaluation of electrophysiological signals, especially electroencephalograms.The device described in this patent refers only to these electrodes and their capture structure, and not to a device for performing and processing psychological, cognitive, and neural tests.

[0019]

[0012] CN204072121U refers to a psychological assessment instrument created with the aim of providing an intelligent electronic assessment capable of using physiological parameters, such as skin electricity, skin temperature, pulse, blood pressure and the like, and performing signal error processing, thus reducing the workload of the team and effectively improving the assessment. This instrument, however, is applied to assess whether detainees / prisoners are lying or showing signs of stress. That is, despite assessing some physiological signals, this device was not designed for the areas required here, much less to mitigate distracting stimuli.

[0020]

[0013] In contrast to the closest documents found in the state of the art, the device presented here offers a solution to the aforementioned challenges. Every detail of this invention was created with the specific purpose of ensuring a controlled evaluation and testing situation, simple for all users and with a high degree of reliability and accuracy. Furthermore, this device has embedded sensors and peripherals that enable a much broader collection of physiological and cognitive data than would be possible with conventional resources.

[0021]

[0014] Furthermore, compared with other existing technologies (such as cell phones, tablets, and PCs frequently used in assessment contexts), the present device has the following distinguishing features and advantages:

[0022] • It is dedicated This device was created specifically and exclusively to allow profiling, evaluation, and application of tests. Therefore, its entire design and functionality were decided based on this single purpose, making it an ideal tool for this type of task.

[0023] • Unlike other commonly used devices, this new invention frees the participant from the intrusion of distracting stimuli, allowing total control over the variables that may interfere with the evaluation results.

[0024] • The embedded and peripheral sensors present in the proposed device allow for the measurement of heart rate, galvanic skin potential, brain electrical activity, location of attentional focus, location of eye focus, cognitive load, and general state of alertness, among others. This enables a deep and complete evaluation of the subject being tested, which would not be possible otherwise.

[0025] It's simpler. One of the central objectives of this new invention is to provide a simple and accessible assessment and testing experience for all types of audiences, enabling its application in a wide variety of profiling contexts.

[0026] • It is more accurate and reliable. Taken together, all the factors listed above ensure that the results of assessments performed with this device are much safer, more accurate, and more reliable than those obtained with cell phones, tablets, and PCs. This high reliability is crucial in situations where assessments are used for relevant clinical, diagnostic, educational, or professional decisions.

[0027]

[0015] As can be seen, this new device is fundamentally different from existing alternatives, and solves classic problems in the digital application of assessments and profiling that, until now, remained unsolved.

[0028] Description of the drawings

[0029]

[0016] A more concrete view of this invention can be obtained from the attached figures, which are described below:

[0030] Figure 1 shows the front view of the device, which presents the user interface. The device has a display where stimuli and instructions for tests and assessments can be shown. Below the display is a keyboard that allows typing and selection of test answers, as well as "back / cancel" and "select / confirm" functions – this keyboard can assume different configurations depending on the needs of each application, as shown in Figure 4. A small hole in the face of the keyboard houses the microphone, which can be used to capture vocal responses. The regions on both sides of the keyboard have embedded sensors for heart rate and galvanic skin potential, as well as a fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader allows for the unequivocal identification of the device administrator and the individual being tested, and can be used to grant access to the assessments.The other two sensors, in turn, allow for the assessment of the individual's physiological state at the time of testing, estimating their stress level and other variables of interest. Above the display are two cameras: a standard camera and an infrared camera. The standard camera allows for subject identification and the assessment of variables such as alertness level and attention / distraction level. The infrared camera, in turn, is assisted by an infrared LED and allows for the measurement of eye, pupil, and facial movements even in low-light conditions. This information can be combined with that of the other sensors to create a general analysis of the individual's attentional, cognitive, and emotional state during testing. On the side of the device, a USB-C port is visible, allowing for the connection of peripherals (see Figure 5). Finally, the back of the device has a table stand.This stand can be removed for mobile use without support.

[0031] Figure 2 shows the rear view of the device. Here you can see the power input, which can be used to charge an internal battery. Also shown is the speaker output, used to emit commands, instructions, and other relevant stimuli during testing and evaluation. On the top of the device are the volume, power / sleep, and settings buttons, which provide quick and easy access to the main functions and parameters. On the opposite side are the navigation buttons, which allow the use of menus and submenus. Also on the top is a memory card slot. Memory cards can contain tests and store the responses of the subjects being tested.

[0032] Figure 3 shows a side view of the device, indicating the separation between the removable table stand and the functional module. This separation allows the device to be used in fixed or mobile mode. Figure 4 shows the different configuration possibilities for the response keyboard. Depending on the need and the type of assessment or test to be performed, the keyboard can take the form of numbers, letters, geometric shapes, colors, textures, or others, including or not including Braille writing.

[0033] Figure 5 highlights how the device's functionality can be extended through the use of various peripherals, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG), headphones (with and without EEG), an external heart rate sensor, and an external galvanic skin potential sensor. These peripherals are designed to allow for even broader and more precise collection of physiological data. The device can also be fitted with a pair of virtual reality glasses (with and without EEG), enabling tests and assessments to be carried out in simulated and immersive virtual environments.

[0034] Description of the invention

[0035] Overview

[0036]

[0017] As described, the invention presented here is a device for profiling, evaluating, and controlled application of psychometric, psychological, psychodiagnostic, neurocognitive, neurobehavioral, professional, occupational, vocational, and educational tests. This device consists of an advanced solution that combines hardware and software in an integrated manner to optimize the processes and conditions of human testing and evaluation.

[0037]

[0018] At first glance, this device is characterized as an apparatus equipped with a display, numeric keypad, embedded heart rate and galvanic skin potential sensors, fingerprint reader, standard camera, infrared camera assisted by infrared LED, speaker output, and various function and configuration buttons. Internally, the device has a processor, memory, battery, vibration motor, wireless connection boards, and the input and output circuits necessary for its operation. A USB-C port allows the connection of peripherals, which can extend and enhance its functionalities.

[0038] Operating modes

[0039]

[0019] The device can operate in two different modes: online or offline:

[0040] • In online mode, the device uses the internet to connect to a remote server and access the tests made available there. In this mode, any changes made to the tests on the servers are immediately reflected on the device. Similarly, the responses and data of the people being tested can be immediately sent to the server, becoming readily available in an administration panel accessible via the web.

[0041] • In offline mode, the device stores tests in its internal memory or on a memory card, and can administer them without an internet connection. In this scenario, the responses and data of the people tested are also stored in the internal memory or on the card, and can be accessed through the device's own administration panel. When the device is connected to the internet, the "cloud synchronization" process occurs. This synchronization has two stages: (a) the tests stored in the internal memory or on the card are compared with those on the server and updated, and (b) the respondents' local data is sent to the server, allowing viewing via the web. Optionally, the data can be downloaded to a computer directly from the memory card, without the need for cloud synchronization, or even by directly connecting the device to the computer via the USB port.

[0042] The process of conducting an evaluation.

[0043]

[0020] The process of conducting an assessment can occur in two ways: with pre-registration of the individual or without pre-registration. The assessment process with pre-registration has the following steps: • Pre-registration: The system administrator accesses the web administration panel, registers the subject, and selects the tests that they must answer. At the end of this registration, a subject identification code is generated (this code can be the CPF or another type of number or code).

[0044] • Device synchronization: If the device is to operate in offline mode, it needs to be synchronized with the cloud to download the tests, subject registrations, and their identification codes.

[0045] • Subject identification on the device: To participate in the assessment, the subject goes to the device and uses the keyboard or navigation keys to type and confirm their identification code. Optionally, a fingerprint reader can be used for identification, provided that the fingerprints have been pre-registered.

[0046] • Performing the tests: After the subject's identity is confirmed, the device subjects them to the tests selected by the administrator. Different tests may require the use of different sensors or peripherals, depending on the need.

[0047] • Feedback: Upon completing the assessment, the subject may or may not have access to their results, depending on the settings defined by the administrator.

[0048] • Results available: The subject's results are available in the internal administration panel and the web administration panel. (Note that if the device is operating in offline mode, the results will only be available on the web after "cloud synchronization").

[0049]

[0021] In turn, the evaluation process without pre-registration has the following steps:

[0050] • Test selection: The subject or an operator goes to the device and selects one or more tests from those available in the cloud, internal memory, or memory card. • Identification: Before performing the tests, the system requests some form of identification from the subject, which can be a CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID), name, fingerprint, or other identifier.

[0051] • Performing the tests: The tests are presented sequentially, in the order in which they were selected, or in random order, depending on the settings. Different tests may require the use of different sensors or peripherals, as needed.

[0052] • Feedback: Upon completing the assessment, the subject may or may not have access to their results, depending on the settings defined by the administrator.

[0053] • Results available: The subject's results are available in the internal administration panel and the web administration panel. (Note that if the device is operating in offline mode, the results will only be available on the web after "cloud synchronization").

[0054]

[0022] Note that, due to the great flexibility offered by the device, different processes can also be configured. In the context of professional and vocational profiling in selection processes, for example, it is possible for vacancies to be registered in the administration panel, and for different test sets to be linked to different vacancies. In this case, the subject can use the device to identify themselves and select the vacancy they wish to apply for, then take the tests. This flexibility of use and configuration allows the device to be applied in a huge variety of contexts.

[0055] Possible types of tests

[0056]

[0023] As can be seen, the device can present a wide variety of visual stimuli (through the display or virtual reality glasses), auditory stimuli (through built-in speakers or headphones), and tactile stimuli (through specialized keyboards or the internal vibration motor). Similarly, it can detect a wide variety of responses, whether through the keyboard (which allows the selection of alternatives in multiple-choice tests or the composition of complex answers, for example) or through the embedded microphone. Finally, the embedded and peripheral sensors, as well as the common and infrared cameras, allow the measurement of numerous cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and physiological parameters, such as: heart rate, galvanic skin potential, brain electrical activity (with EEG), location of attentional focus, general level of attention and alertness (with the cameras), cognitive load, etc.

[0057]

[0024] With this, the spectrum of assessments that can be performed on this device is virtually unlimited, ranging from clinical to organizational contexts, including educational, neuroscientific, experimental, psychological and diagnostic applications, among others.

[0058] Peripherals

[0059]

[0025] In addition to the embedded sensors and visual and audio capabilities, the device's functionality can also be extended through peripherals. These peripherals include:

[0060] • Headphones. This peripheral allows for greater privacy and discretion when using the device.

[0061] • Electroencephalogram (EEG). This peripheral device records the brain's electrical activity and sends it to the main device. The device, in turn, uses algorithms to estimate attention, concentration, and alertness levels from these electrical signals.

[0062] • Headset with integrated EEG. This peripheral consists of a headset coupled to a miniaturized electroencephalogram (EEG) device. While the headset emits audio stimuli to the subject, the EEG device records the brain's electrical activity and sends it to the main device, allowing for the measurement of the user's cognitive state.

[0063] • Virtual reality glasses. This peripheral consists of a pair of lenses and microdisplays that, mounted similarly to a pair of glasses, can be worn by the user, who experiences visual stimuli in an enlarged, three-dimensional, and immersive way. The glasses may also have a head motion sensor, so that the image follows changes in facial orientation, making the experience even more convincing. When this peripheral is connected to the main device, the stimuli that would be displayed on the main display are now displayed on the glasses, enabling tests that require immersive visual experiences.

[0064] • Virtual reality glasses with integrated EEG. This peripheral combines the previous peripherals, allowing EEG signals to be captured simultaneously with the user wearing the virtual reality glasses.

[0065] • Heart rate sensor. This peripheral can take the form of a bracelet, wristband, or ring. When connected to the device, it provides information about the user's heart rate, which can be used to estimate their stress and relaxation levels. These measurements, in turn, can be combined with other measurements to generate more accurate inferences about the subject's overall state.

[0066] • Galvanic skin potential sensor. This peripheral can take the form of a bracelet, wristband, or ring, and its purpose is to measure the galvanic skin response. When connected to the device, it provides information about the user's emotional state.

[0067]

[0026] Peripherals can be connected to the device via physical cables, through the USB-C port, or via a wireless connection.

[0068] Adjusting the Settings

[0069]

[0027] Finally, the device has a dedicated button for adjusting global usage settings. These settings include:

[0070] • Adjust screen brightness;

[0071] • Adjusting font size; • Adjusting font type;

[0072] • Connection to the Wi-Fi network;

[0073] • Bluetooth pairing;

[0074] • Cloud synchronization management;

[0075] • User account information.

[0076]

[0028] These menus and submenus can be easily navigated using the navigation buttons. The volume controls, in turn, are separate, to allow for quick adjustment whenever necessary.

[0077]

[0029] It is noteworthy that the device described here represents a significant innovation in the field of profiling, assessment, and testing. It allows different types of tests and assessments to be applied in a highly intuitive and controlled manner, which would be impossible on commonly used cell phones, tablets, and PCs. The wide variety of embedded sensors and peripherals allows physiological, cognitive, and neural data to be combined with the subjects' responses, taking assessment possibilities to a new level of depth and sophistication.

[0078]

[0030] Finally, it is also worth noting the existence of possibilities for modifications and adaptations in the dimensions, formats and components chosen, and the descriptive memory of this document should not be considered as limiting, but rather as illustrative, and there may be constructive variations, for those skilled in the art, that are equivalent without, however, departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
