System and method for obtaining subtextual information regarding an interaction between an individual and a programmable device
First Claim
1. A method of obtaining subtextual information regarding an interaction between an individual having preferred modalities and a programmable device, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing output information from the programmable device to the individual;
receiving input with the programmable device through a responsive act from the individual, wherein the responsive act is use of an input device to move a machine interface focal point;
sensing at least one psychomotor behavioral element of the responsive act from the individual; and
determining the preferred modalities of the individual in real time based on the psychomotor behavioral element of the responsive act from the individual.

Abstract
The system contains an output device in communication with the programmable device. The output device produces output information from the programmable device to the individual. An input device is in communication with the programmable device. The individual communicates a responsive act to the programmable device through the input device. The responsive act will include at least one psychomotor behavioral element. A processor integral with the programmable device determines the preferred modalities of the individual based, at least partially, on the psychomotor behavioral element of the responsive act from the individual. The processor also determines a preferred combination of modalities and an ordering of modalities by preference thereby further defining a focus of the individual'"'"'s attention. The combination and order of modalities is calculated by an equation: Σ∫∞−∞((ΣGi(δxi/δlt))/(ΣGi(dxi/dti)))dGidti∝Ψ(G).
