Abstract

Systems and methods for providing an alert to a user device based on generated parameters are disclosed herein. The system can include: a content management server; and a memory communicatingly connected to the content management server via a communication network. The memory can include: a content library database; and a user profile database. The system can include a user device and a supervisor device. The system can include a content management server that can calculate a risk probability and can generate and send an alert to the supervisor device when the risk probability exceeds a threshold level.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing an alert to a device based on generated parameters, the system comprising:
a supervisor device comprising:
a personal supervisor device comprising:
a first communication subsystem configured to exchange data with a server via a communication network, the first communication subsystem comprising location determining features configured to determine a first physical location of the personal supervisor device; and
a first I/O subsystem configured to convert electrical signals to user interpretable outputs; and

an other supervisor device comprising:
a second communication subsystem configured to exchange data with a server via the communication network, the second communication subsystem comprising location determining features configured to determine a second physical location of the the other supervisor device; and
a second I/O subsystem configured to convert electrical signals to user interpretable outputs;

a user device; and
a content management server, wherein the content management server is communicatingly connected to the user device via the communication network, and wherein the content management server is configured to:
receive an identifier of a user from the user device, wherein the identifier comprises user device location information;
identify current program status parameters of the user, wherein the current program status parameters identify the user's progress through at least one of one or several content programs;
determine triggering of a risk calculation, wherein determining triggering of a risk calculation comprises:
retrieving a status trigger threshold;
comparing the current program status parameters of the user to the status trigger threshold; and
triggering a risk calculation when the current program status parameters at least meet the status trigger threshold;
select a model function based on the current program status parameters;
calculate a model function value with the selected model function;
calculate a risk probability with the model function value;
receive location data from the supervisor device, wherein the location data identifies a location of the supervisor device and use status of the supervisor device;
identify one of the personal supervisor device and the other supervisor device as recipient of the alert based on the received location data; and
send the alert to the identified one of the personal supervisor device and the other supervisor device, wherein sending the alert comprises:
retrieving a risk threshold associated with at least one of: the model function; and the current program status parameters;
comparing the risk threshold and the risk probability; and
determining to send the alert based on the comparing of the risk threshold and the risk probability;

wherein the supervisor device is configured to:
receive the alert, wherein the alert comprises alert data;
launch an alert interface; and
display a visual representation of the alert data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the supervisor device is configured to:
receive location signals from a navigation system;
generate the location data; and
transmit the location data to the content management server.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the location data identifies a use status for at least one of the personal supervisor device and the other supervisor device.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein displaying the visual representation of the alert data comprises generating control signals to control operation of a display of the supervisor device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the alert data comprises the risk probability, wherein the risk probability identifies a risk of the user not achieving a desired outcome.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the desired outcome comprises completion of a desired portion of a program.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein displaying the risk probability comprises the generation and display of a risk indicator.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the risk indicator comprises a graphical display of the risk probability.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the risk indicator comprises a numeric display of the risk probability.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein displaying the risk probability comprises generating and displaying at least one of:
a user page;
a follow-up queue page; and
an alert data page.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein displaying the risk probability comprises generating and displaying at least one of: a student-user identifier; a progress indicator; and a next step indicator.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the progress indicator comprises a progress rate indicator.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising a memory communicatingly connected to the content management server via the communication network, the memory comprising:
a content library database comprising information relating to the one or several content programs; and
a user profile database comprising information tracking user relevant data generated from at least one of: (1) interaction between the user and the user device; and (2) interaction between the user device and the content management server.
