Observation platform for using structured communications
First Claim
1. A method of observing users of communication devices, comprising:
- recognizing, by a central computer system, a first user associated with a first communication device and a second user associated with a second communication device;
observing, by said central computer system, a communication between said first communication device and said second communication device, wherein at least a portion of said communication is an audible communication;
relaying, by said central computer system, said communication between said first communication device and said second communication device;
identifying, by said central computer system, features of said communication, said features including a performance metric for at least one of said first user and said second user; and
making, by said central computer system, said features available to one of a person and another computer system for decision making purposes.

Abstract
In a method of observing users of communication devices, a central computer system recognizes a first user associated with a first communication device and a second user associated with a second communication device. The central computer system observes a communication between the first communication device and the second communication device, wherein at least a portion of the communication is an audible communication. The central computer system relays the communication between the first communication device and the second communication device. The central computer system identifies features of the communication and makes the features available for decision making purposes.

15. A structured communications platform, said platform comprising:
-
a first communication device configured to send a signal, wherein a first characteristic of said signal corresponds to an audible source; a second communication device configured to receive said signal; and a central computer system associated with said second communication device, said central computer system configured to; recognize a first user associated with said first communication device; derive context information from said signal; observe said signal between said first communication device and said second communication device at said central computer system, wherein at least a portion of said signal is an audible communication; identify features of said signal, at said central computer system, said features including a performance metric for at least said first user; and make said features available to one of a person and another computer system for decision making purposes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
