MEDIATION OF TASKS BASED ON ASSESSMENTS OF COMPETING COGNITIVE LOADS AND NEEDS
First Claim
1. A computer-based method for mediating tasks in real-time for safety-related concerns, comprising:
- determining a nature of a primary task related to safety;
determining a nature of a secondary task that draws attention away from the primary task;
determining a risk factor for a potential lack of cognitive resources by applying the nature of the primary task and the nature of the secondary task to a trained risk factor model, using a computer-based processor; and
applying the risk factor to one or more safety-related systems in real-time.

Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mediating tasks in real-time for safety-related concerns. A nature for a safety-related primary task, such as contextual elements of the task, is determined; and a nature of a secondary task that draws attention away from the primary task is also determined. A risk factor for a potential lack of cognitive resources which may be needed by the primary task is determined by applying the nature of the primary task and the nature of the secondary task to a trained risk factor model. The risk factor is applied to one or more safety-related systems in real-time, for example, to mitigate potential safety concerns.

14. A system for mediating tasks in real-time for safety-related concerns, comprising:
-
a primary task determination component configured to determine one or more primary task related factors for a safety-related primary task; a secondary task determination component configured to determine one or more secondary task related factors for a secondary task that draws attention away from the primary task; a risk factor determination component, operably coupled with the primary task determination component, the secondary task determination component and a computer-based processor, and the risk factor determination component configured to determine a risk factor for a potential lack of cognitive resources using the computer-based processor by applying the one or more primary task related factors and the one or more secondary task related factors to a trained risk factor model; and a safety systems application component, operably coupled with the risk factor determination component, and configured to apply the risk factor to one or more safety-related systems in real-time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-based method for mediating tasks in real-time for safety-related concerns, comprising:
-
determining a nature of a primary task related to safety comprising gathering real-time vehicle operation-related information related to one or more of; route complexity; traffic conditions; environmental conditions; and vehicle conditions; determining a nature of a secondary task that draws attention away from the primary task, comprising determining a context of a communications-related task in real-time by gathering real-time information related to mobile communications device interaction with a third party; determining a nature of a potential intervening interference that could occur during performance of the primary and secondary tasks comprising determining one or more of the following in real-time; traffic-related interferences; route-related interferences; and primary task performer related interferences; determining a risk factor for a potential lack of cognitive resources by applying the nature of the primary task, the nature of the secondary task, and the nature of the potential intervening interference to the trained risk factor model, using a computer-based processor; and applying the risk factor to one or more safety-related systems in real-time comprising one or more of; lowering a threshold for activating a safety related system; activating a safety related system; and mitigating performance of the secondary task.
