Computer network based testing system
First Claim
1. A human response testing system, comprising:
- (a) a host, storing a plurality of testing parameters, said testing parameters being grouped into a plurality of sections;
(b) a terminal, communicating with said host through a telecommunications link, adapted for interaction with the human to acquire responses to said testing parameters,wherein;
(i) said host transmits information defining one of said sections to said terminal, comprising said grouped testing parameters and encoded information representative of a defined status before transmission;
(ii) said terminal presents testing parameters to the human, defined by said section, and receives said responses thereto; and
(iii) said terminal transmits information relating to said responses and a modified status to said host, said host processing said information to;
a. determine information content of said responses, andb. determine said modified status.

Abstract
An interactive query server system, comprising a database storing a plurality of query sections, each section including parameters defining a relation with other query sections. The query server is adapted to:
Generate, based on the parameters, query sequence sets, each set having at least one query section;
Transmit a query sequence set as a logical unit to a client system;
Receive responses of a user to the query sequence set from the client system; and
Process the received responses to produce an output.
The host may transmit information defining at least one of the sections to the client system, which are presented to the user for receipt of responses. The responses are then transmitted to the query server. The query server processes the received information and produces an output based on the processed information. The query server may transmit information defining one of the sections to the client system, including designated queries and context information, and define information representative of a state of the section before transmission. The terminal presents inquiries to the user defined by the section, receives responses to the queries, and transmits an answer that includes information relating to the responses and a modified state to the query server. The query server, in this case, processes the responses to determine an information content and to determine a change between the defined state and the modified state.

29. A human response testing method, comprising:
-
(a) storing a plurality of testing parameters in a host, said testing parameters being grouped into a plurality of sections; (b) communicating between a terminal and the host through a telecommunications link, adapted for interaction with a human to acquire responses to the testing parameters. (c) transmitting information defining one of said sections from the host to the terminal, comprising the grouped testing parameters and encoded information representative of a defined status before transmission; (d) presenting testing parameters through the terminal to the human, defined by the section, and receiving the responses thereto; (e) transmitting information relating to the responses and a modified status to from the terminal to the host; and (f) processing the information at the host to; (i) determine information content of the responses, and (ii) determine the modified status. - View Dependent Claims (30)
