Abstract

A device and a method are provided for analyzing the behavior of a subject moving in an operational environment during a mission, including: synchronized acquisition of a plurality of raw data relating to the subject, to the operational environment and to the mission; on-the-fly cross-processing of the acquired raw data; and real-time generation of processed data from the cross-processing operations, providing instantaneous information about the state and the behavior of the subject; the device is characterized in that all or some of the steps may be implemented so as to activate various operating modes of analyzing and monitoring the behavior of the subject.

First claim

1 . A device for analyzing and monitoring the behavior of a subject moving in an operational environment during a mission, the device comprising:
means for the synchronized acquisition of a plurality of raw data relating to the subject, to the operational environment and to the mission; means for the on-the-fly processing of the acquired raw data; and means for generating processed data from the on-the-fly processing operations, providing real-time information about the state and the behavior of the subject;
the device being characterized in that all or some of said means may be implemented so as to activate various operating modes of analyzing and monitoring the behavior of the subject.

2 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the synchronized acquisition means comprise sensors able to acquire data relating to:
physiological parameters of the subject; technical parameters contextualizing the mission; subjective parameters provided by the subject himself or by observers; audio and video data relating to the actions of the subject, his movements, and his interactions with the operational environment.

3 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the means for the on-the-fly processing of the raw data comprise means for filtering and correlating the acquired raw data and means for analyzing the data based on algorithmic models operating in real time.

4 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the means for generating processed data comprise means for providing specialized indicators, notably curves, and alerts expressing situations detected during the mission.

5 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , additionally comprising means for the deferred processing of the raw data and the processed data.

6 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , additionally comprising human-machine interfaces able to display instantaneous information about the state and the behavior of the subject.

7 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the various operating modes comprise notably modes of using the evaluation of the state and the behavior of the subject in real time or in deferred mode, of replaying, of rendering and of screening.

8 . A simulator comprising a device for analyzing and monitoring the behavior of a subject as claimed in claim 1 .

9 . An aircraft simulation platform comprising a device for analyzing and monitoring the behavior of a subject as claimed in claim 1 .

10 . A method for analyzing and monitoring the behavior of a subject moving in an operational environment during a mission, the method comprising the following steps:
synchronized acquisition of a plurality of raw data relating to the subject, to the operational environment and to the mission; on-the-fly processing of the acquired raw data; and generating processed data from the on-the-fly processing operations, providing real-time information about the state and the behavior of the subject;
said steps making it possible to activate various operating modes of analyzing and monitoring the behavior of the subject.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the plurality of acquired raw data comprises:
physiological parameters of the subject; technical parameters contextualizing the mission; subjective parameters provided by the subject himself or by observers; audio and video data relating to the actions of the subject, his movements, and his interactions with the operational environment.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the step of generating processed data consists in instantaneously providing:
specialized indicators, notably curves; alerts expressing situations detected during the mission.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , additionally comprising a step of deferred processing of the raw data and the processed data, said deferred processing making it possible to generate:
indicators that are presented temporally, in terms of their duration, or their dated punctuality; any discrepancies or deviations from monitoring in accordance with the procedures that should normally have been followed; dated markers corresponding notably to detected and declared events; geographic data positioned on a cartographic view, notably a trajectory; a set of specialized windows presenting synthetic information, notably gaze tracking, areas looked at by the subject and statistics; a set of videos and audio selected from the recordings made during the course of the mission.

14 . A computer program product comprising non-transitory code instructions for performing the steps of the method as claimed in claim 10 when said program is executed on a computer.
