Method for interactively monitoring and changing the behavior, attitude or educational state of an individual, in particular an individual related to an organization
First Claim
1. A method for interactively monitoring and optionally changing the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s) of an individual, comprising storing, in a database of a computer system, a reference measure with respect to the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s), the reference measure quantifying characteristics relating to the same state(s), subjecting the individual to a series A of information and/or training routines and/or questions relevant to the said state(s), and recording at least one set of parameters P1 established as a result of the series A and related to the individual or activities of the individual and indicative of the said state(s), and storing the result of the recording in a database of the computer system, processing the set(s) of parameters P1 to provide at least one index representing the status of the individual with respect to the said state(s), comparing the at least one index with the reference measure, and, based on the result of the comparison, a) classifying the individual, and/or b) subjecting the individual to further questions and/or information and/or training routines of either series a or another series:

Abstract
The present invention is a method and a system for interactively monitoring the behavior, attitude and educational state of individuals of an organization, especially in relation to ergonomically reasonable conduct of the individuals. The method and system provides an index representative of the behavior, attitude and educational state. The index is provided by monitoring ergonomically relevant conditions of the individual'"'"'s working surroundings and the individual'"'"'s use of PCs or similar computers connected to the system and by means of information obtained by subjecting the individual to electronic questionnaires. The monitored data and data obtained by electronic questionnaires will be compared with reference data for providing instructions for the individual.

1. A method for interactively monitoring and optionally changing the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s) of an individual, comprising
storing, in a database of a computer system, a reference measure with respect to the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s), the reference measure quantifying characteristics relating to the same state(s), subjecting the individual to a series A of information and/or training routines and/or questions relevant to the said state(s), and recording at least one set of parameters P1 established as a result of the series A and related to the individual or activities of the individual and indicative of the said state(s), and storing the result of the recording in a database of the computer system, processing the set(s) of parameters P1 to provide at least one index representing the status of the individual with respect to the said state(s), comparing the at least one index with the reference measure, and, based on the result of the comparison, a) classifying the individual, and/or b) subjecting the individual to further questions and/or information and/or training routines of either series a or another series:
-
37. A method according to claim I , wherein data selected from the group consisting of
reference measure, series A, set of parameters P1, set of parameters P2, set of parameters P3, at least one index and/or forecast data relevant to the organization or the individual is defined for a group of one or more individuals and is compared to the same data of another group of one or more individuals.
-
41. A computer system for interactively monitoring and optionally changing the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s) of an individual, said computer system having first processing means, input means for user provided input, output means and first storage means having stored therein a first computer program said processing means being adapted, in response to commands from said computer program, to:
-
store a reference measure with respect to the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s), in a database of the computer system, subject the individual to a series A of information and/or training routines and/or questions relevant to the said state(s), and recording at least one set of parameters P1 established as a result of the series A and related to the individual or activities of the individual and indicative of the said state(s), and to store the result of the recording in a database of the computer system, process the set(s) of parameters P1 to provide at least one index representing the status of the individual with respect to the said state(s), compare the at least one index with the reference measure, and, based on the result of the comparison, to classify the individual, and/or subject the individual to further questions and/or information and/or training routines of either series A or another series.

-
42. A computer system according to
claim 42 , wherein the processing means is adapted for, in response to commands from said computer program, to interactively monitor and optionally change the behavior state(s) and/or attitude state(s) and/or educational state(s) of an individual over a computer being used by the individual, the computer being connected to the computer system and cooperating herewith.
-
43. A computer system according to
claim 43 , wherein the cooperation between the computer system and the computer is independent on the operating system of the computer system respectively the operating system of the computer.
-
45. A computer system according to
claim 45 , wherein the second processing means is adapted to automatically read and execute instructions from the second computer program upon activation of the computer.
-
51. A computer system according to
claim 51 , wherein the second processing means is adapted, in response to commands from the second program, to compare the index with a reference index stored in the second storing means or in the first storing means.
-
58. A computer system according to
claim 58 , wherein the user profile is generated by the first processing means and stored in the first storage means or in the second storage means, the user profile being generated based on a pre-test program with a questionnaire for the user.
