APPARATUSES AND METHODS OF DETERMINING IF A PERSON OPERATING EQUIPMENT IS EXPERIENCING AN ELEVATED COGNITIVE LOAD
First Claim
1. A method of determining if a person operating equipment is experiencing an elevated cognitive load, said method comprising the steps of:
- collecting a first set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of a device at a first time;
processing said first set of data to establish a baseline signature;
collecting a second set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of the device at a second time;
processing said second set of data to establish a performance signature; and
comparing said performance signature to said baseline signature to determine whether the person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load at said second time.

Abstract
A method of, and apparatus for, determining if a person operating equipment is experiencing an elevated cognitive load, wherein the person'"'"'s use of a device at a first time is monitored so as to set a baseline signature. Then, at a later time, the person'"'"'s use of the device is monitored to determine the person'"'"'s performance at the second time, as represented by a performance signature. This performance signature can then be compared against the baseline signature to predict whether the person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load.

16. A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method of determining if a person operating equipment is experiencing an elevated cognitive load, said method comprising the steps of:
-
collecting a first set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of a device at a first time when the person is not experiencing an elevated cognitive load; processing said first set of data to establish a baseline signature; collecting a second set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of the device at a second time; processing said second set of data to establish a performance signature; comparing said performance signature to said baseline signature to determine whether the person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load at said second time; and triggering a response if said person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method of determining if a person operating a device is experiencing an elevated cognitive load, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a sensor measuring behavioral biometric data relating to the person'"'"'s operation of a device to collect a first set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of said device at a first time when the person is not experiencing an elevated cognitive load; a computer-readable storage medium storing said first set of data; a processor processing said first set of data to establish a baseline signature; said sensor measuring behavioral biometric data relating to the person'"'"'s operation of said device to collect a second set of data related to the person'"'"'s operation of the device at a second time; said computer-readable storage medium storing said second set of data; said processor processing said second set of data to establish a performance signature; said processor comparing said performance signature to said baseline signature to determine whether the person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load at said second time; and said processor triggering a response if said person is experiencing an elevated cognitive load. - View Dependent Claims (20)
