System and method for encouraging user engagement during a presentation
First Claim
1. A method for encouraging user engagement during a presentation to a group of users, the method comprising:
- monitoring, after a presentation mode is enabled at a user system, user input and output systems of the user system to determine whether any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode;
communicating a message to a server system each time a processing system of the user system determines that any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode; and
computing, at the server system, based on messages received from the user system, an engagement metric for a user of the user system that indicates a level of engagement of that user during the presentation;
determining, at the server system after the presentation has concluded, whether a value of the engagement metric is less than a first engagement threshold;
creating, at the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold, a record giving an attendance credit to the user for completing the presentation;
determining, the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold, whether a value of the engagement metric is greater than or equal to a second engagement threshold, where the second engagement threshold that is greater than the first engagement threshold; and
issuing, at the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the second engagement threshold, a reward to the user that is displayed on a social media web site of an enterprise that the user is part of, wherein the reward is viewable by other users in the enterprise who have access to the user'"'"'s social media profile including those who attended the presentation.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for encouraging user engagement during a presentation to a group of users in attendance at a presentation. When presentation mode is enabled at a user system, the user system monitors its user input and output systems to determine whether any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode. Each time a processing system of the user system determines that any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode, it communicates a message to a server system, which computes, based on messages received from the user system, an engagement metric for a user of the user system. This engagement metric indicates a level of engagement of that user during the presentation.

1. A method for encouraging user engagement during a presentation to a group of users, the method comprising:
-
monitoring, after a presentation mode is enabled at a user system, user input and output systems of the user system to determine whether any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode; communicating a message to a server system each time a processing system of the user system determines that any of the user input and output systems have been interacted with during the presentation mode; and computing, at the server system, based on messages received from the user system, an engagement metric for a user of the user system that indicates a level of engagement of that user during the presentation; determining, at the server system after the presentation has concluded, whether a value of the engagement metric is less than a first engagement threshold; creating, at the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold, a record giving an attendance credit to the user for completing the presentation; determining, the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold, whether a value of the engagement metric is greater than or equal to a second engagement threshold, where the second engagement threshold that is greater than the first engagement threshold; and issuing, at the server system when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the second engagement threshold, a reward to the user that is displayed on a social media web site of an enterprise that the user is part of, wherein the reward is viewable by other users in the enterprise who have access to the user'"'"'s social media profile including those who attended the presentation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A server system, comprising:
-
a processor system configured to;
compute, based on messages received from a user system during a presentation to a group of users in attendance, an engagement metric for a user of a user system that indicates a level of engagement of that user during the presentation,wherein each of the messages indicates that interaction with either an input system of the user system or an output system of the user system have been detected during the presentation; wherein the processor system is further configured to; determine, after the presentation has concluded, whether a value of the engagement metric is less than a first engagement threshold; when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold; create a record giving an attendance credit to the user for completing the presentation; determine whether the value of the engagement metric is greater than or equal to a second engagement threshold that is greater than the first engagement threshold; and issue a reward to the user that is displayed on a social media web site of an enterprise that the user is part of when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the second engagement threshold, wherein the reward is viewable by other users in the enterprise who have access to the user'"'"'s social media profile including those who attended the presentation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for encouraging user engagement during a presentation to a group of users, the system comprising:
-
a server system; and a user system of a user, comprising;
user input and output systems;
memory configured to store an engagement module; and
a processing system configured to execute the engagement module after a presentation mode is enabled at the user system, wherein upon execution of the engagement module, the processing system executes instructions to;
monitor the user input and output systems of the user system to determine whether any of the user input and output systems of the user system have been interacted with during the presentation mode; and
communicate a message to the server system each time the processing system determines that any of the user input and output systems of the user system have been interacted with during the presentation mode; andwherein the server system is configured to; compute, based on messages received from the user system, an engagement metric for a user of the user system that indicates a level of engagement of that user during the presentation; determine, after the presentation has concluded, whether a value of the engagement metric is less than a first engagement threshold; when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the first engagement threshold; create a record giving an attendance credit to the user for completing the presentation; determine whether the value of the engagement metric is greater than or equal to a second engagement threshold that is greater than the first engagement threshold; and issue a reward to the user that is displayed on a social media web site of an enterprise that the user is part of when the value of the engagement metric is determined to be greater than or equal to the second engagement threshold, wherein the reward is viewable by other users in the enterprise who have access to the user'"'"'s social media profile including those who attended the presentation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
