First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method which employs biometric measurements, comprising the steps of:
- using sensors to collect biometric data from at least one user engaged in using software operating on a computer or computer network;
monitoring changes in the biometric data which occur while the software is being used; and
providing an output based on changes in the biometric data.

Abstract
The present invention uses biometrics for the quantitative determination of software ease of use by collecting biometric data from a software user, identifying changes in the biometric data as the user uses the software, determining if the changes are indicative of software ease of use issues, and generating a signal as output if the changes are determined to be indicative of software ease of use issues. The sensors may be integrated into a computer mouse or other peripheral device with which the user comes in regular contact during use.
