Observation platform using structured communications for gathering and reporting employee performance information
First Claim
1. A method for collecting data and deriving performance metrics for one or more users within an observation platform environment comprising:
- providing one or more of said users with a communications device capable of sending a user'"'"'s voice and a secondary signal containing information regarding a location of said communications device or a relative proximity of said communications device to other devices; and
providing an observation platform having a communications system for receiving and sending data from and to at least one of said communications device, an Internet of things (IoT) device, and an external system, said observation platform comprising;
a computer system with a memory containing instructions for;
recognizing a user identity based on signals from the communications device;
capturing a user'"'"'s voice message and the secondary signal indicative of the location of said communications device or the relative proximity of said communications device to other devices;
deriving statistical data about employee performance of the user comprising;
primary statistics, secondary statistics, and higher-order statistics from said secondary signal and voice message;
storing said user identity, the voice message, the location of the communications device, and the statistical data in a database forming a user record, wherein the user record is processed by an inference engine to derive performance information about said user; and
providing, by said computer system, an employer of said user with a ranking for said employee performance of said user versus other employees of said employer, said ranking based on said performance information.

Abstract
A method for collecting data and deriving performance metrics for one or more users within an observation platform environment is described. The method includes recognizing a user identity based on signals from the communications device; Capturing a user'"'"'s voice message and the secondary signal indicative of the location of the communications device or the relative proximity of the communications device to other devices; Deriving statistical data comprising: primary statistics, secondary statistics, and higher-order statistics from the secondary signal and voice message; and Storing the user identity, the voice message, the location of the communications device, and the statistical data in a database forming a user record, wherein the user record is processed by an inference engine to derive performance information about the user.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; recognize an identity of a user of a communications device based on a secondary signal from the communications device, the secondary signal indicative of a location of said communications device or a relative proximity of said communications device to other devices; capture a user'"'"'s voice message and the secondary signal; derive statistical information about employee performance of the user from said secondary signal and the user'"'"'s voice message, the statistical information comprising; primary statistics, secondary statistics, and higher-order statistics; store said user identity, the user'"'"'s voice message, the location of said communications device, and the statistical information in a database forming a user record; process the user record by an inference engine to derive performance information about said user, wherein the derived performance information is published to a shared library of current and historical performance of the user for use by an employee, an employing enterprise or another outside enterprises; and providing an employer of said user with a ranking for said employee performance of said user versus other employees of said employer, said ranking based on said performance information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
