Systems, methods and computer program products for processing and displaying performance information
First Claim
1. A performance evaluation and improvement system for a user, comprising:
- a data repository electronically retaining financial and operational performance data for the user;
at least one user interface having a display and at least one audio output; and
a controller interfacing with said data repository and said at least one user interface, said controller comprising;
a retrieval software module adapted to retrieve data from said data repository;
a processing software module interfacing with said retrieval software module and being adapted to process the data based on predetermined parameters;
a display software module interfacing with said processing software module and said at least one user interface and being adapted to display the processed data as a performance report on said display of said at least one user interface;
at least one text-to-speech software module interfacing with said processing software module and said at least one audio output of said at least one user interface; and
at least one animation software module interfacing with said processing software module, said display software module and said at least one text-to-speech software module, said at least one animation software module and said at least one text-to-speech software module being adapted to visually and aurally evaluate the performance report displayed on said display and provide improvement recommendations to the user to thereby engage the user and motivate the user to implement the recommendations.

Abstract
The reporting system includes a data repository, a user interface having a display and an audio output, and a controller interfacing with the data repository and the user interface. The controller comprises a retrieval software module adapted to retrieve data from the data repository, a processing software module adapted to process the data, a display software module adapted to display the processed data as a performance report on the display of the user interface, a text-to-speech software module interfacing with the audio output of the user interface, and an animation software module interfacing with the display software module and the text-to-speech software module. The animation software module and the text-to-speech software module are adapted to visually and aurally evaluate the performance report displayed on the display and provide improvement recommendations to the user to thereby engage and motivate the user to implement the recommendations.

10. A method of evaluating financial and operational performance data of a user, comprising:
-
retrieving the performance data of the user electronically from a data repository and providing it to a controller;
processing the data according to predetermined parameters;
communicating electrical signals from the controller to at least one user interface having a display and at least one audio output;
displaying the processed data on the display as a performance report;
displaying at least one animated character on the display; and
emitting an aural signal in the form of speech from the at least one audio source such that the at least one animated character visually and aurally evaluates the performance report and provides improvement recommendations to the user to thereby engage the user and motivate the user to implement the recommendations. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
