FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a system 10 configured to effectuate dynamic selection and presentation of questions during presentation of related content. System 10 facilitates a better understanding of the concepts and topics in the delivered content. System 10 is configured to provide coaching to the user coordinated with delivery of the content, such that the delivered content may become more effective because of the inclusion of interactions between the user and the content facilitated by system 10. The interactions may be facilitated through a query and/or a survey, and/or responses corresponding to the query and/or the survey. The interactions may be timed for specific instants during the presentation of the content.


Present methods used to suggest various timings for the inclusion of an interaction during presentation of content rely on simple keyword identification of words in the content, resulting in the interactions being placed at a predetermined location and/or instance during the course of content presentation. This approach is not specific to a particular user. Moreover, this approach does not facilitate determining a depth and/or breadth of understanding of concepts discussed in the content by the user.


Present content delivery techniques were not designed with flexibility for content adjustment during the course of coaching through content delivery. Thus the extent to which the content can be altered and/or rearranged and/or modified with such techniques is limited. This approach is not tailored to a specific user, and results in a lack of effectiveness in meeting the goal for which the content is presented and/or the user is coached.


It is important to ensure that the user has understood the content and/or the information conveyed through the content at specific instances, before proceeding further so as to make the coaching meaningful and effective in meeting the goal and/or the purpose for which the user is exposed to such content.


System 10 is configured to deliver content (e.g. multimedia video and/or other content), and analyze and aggregate feedback of a user 22 viewing the content. User 22 interacts with the (for example) multimedia video in the form of answering questions which are dynamically placed between video segments. In some embodiments, system 10 is configured to determine the response type of user 22 for a given question. In some embodiments, system 10 is configured to respond to both positive and negative responses (e.g. correct and incorrect responses to questions). In some embodiments, system 10 is configured to help user 22 navigate segments of the video. For example a user is presented with content (video or text) about a particular concept (course taken at college or information about a medical condition). System 10 analyzes the content to create questions based on semantic concepts that are identified by keywords in the presented content and present the questions to the user. A timing for presenting the questions to the user is determined based on what needs to be evaluated (e.g. if user comprehension is to be tested, then the question is placed at the end of the content presentation. But if both comprehension and memorization are to be tested, then two questions at different intervals may be presented to the user). Responsive to the user providing a correct answer to the question, system 10, presents additional content. Responsive to the user providing an incorrect answer, system 10 presents a new question corresponding to a simpler semantic concept. If the user answers the question corresponding to the simpler concept, system 10 re-presents at least a portion of the previous content. In some embodiments, system 10 includes one or more of a processor 12, a computing device 18, electronic storage 14, external resources 16, and/or other components.


Processor 12 is configured to provide information processing capabilities in system 10. As such, processor 12 may comprise one or more of a digital processor, an analog processor, a digital circuit designed to process information, an analog circuit designed to process information, a state machine, and/or other mechanisms for electronically processing information. Although processor 12 is shown in FIG. 1 as a single entity, this is for illustrative purposes only. In some embodiments, processor 16 may comprise a plurality of processing units. These processing units may be physically located within the same device (e.g., a server), or processor 12 may represent processing functionality of a plurality of devices operating in coordination (e.g., a server, computing device 18 associated with user 22, devices that are part of external resources 16, and/or other devices.)


As shown in FIG. 1, processor 12 is configured via machine-readable instructions 24 to execute one or more computer program components. The one or more computer program components may comprise one or more of a content presentation component 26, a content evaluation component 28, a user interaction evaluation component 30, and/or other components. Processor 12 may be configured to execute components 26, 28, and/or 30 by software; hardware; firmware; some combination of software, hardware, and/or firmware; and/or other mechanisms for configuring processing capabilities on processor 12.


It should be appreciated that although components 26, 28, and 30 are illustrated in FIG. 1 as being co-located within a single processing unit, in embodiments in which processor 12 comprises multiple processing units, one or more of components 26, 28, and/or 30 may be located remotely from the other components. The description of the functionality provided by the different components 26, 28, and/or 30 described below is for illustrative purposes, and is not intended to be limiting, as any of components 26, 28, and/or 30 may provide more or less functionality than is described. For example, one or more of components 26, 28, and/or 30 may be eliminated, and some or all of its functionality may be provided by other components 26, 28, and/or 30. As another example, processor 12 may be configured to execute one or more additional components that may perform some or all of the functionality attributed below to one of components 26, 28, and/or 30.


Content presentation component 26 is configured to effectuate presentation of the content to user 22 and/or other users. The content is displayed on computing device 18 and/or other devices. Computing device 18 comprises a user interface 20 facilitating presentation of the content to user 22. Computing device 18 comprises a user input device 32 facilitating entering and/or selecting responses by user 22. In some embodiments, user input device 32 includes a mouse, a touchscreen, and/or other components (e.g., as described below related to computing device 18) facilitating selecting an answer choice in a multiple choice query or survey and a keyboard (and/or other components as described below) facilitating typing answers to a corresponding query or survey.


Content presentation component 26 is configured to effectuate presentation of content to user 22. In some embodiments, the content includes one or more of information related to medical conditions experienced by user 22, information related to an education course taken by user 22, information related to completion of a task assigned as a part of a care plan or program, and/or other content. In some embodiments, the content includes one or more semantic concepts. An individual semantic concept may be indicated by a plurality of linked keywords corresponding to an individual topic of the video content. For example, the at least one semantic concept may include semantic concepts such as Heart Attack, High Blood Pressure, Edema, Echo, and/or other semantic concepts. In some embodiments, multiple semantic concepts are included in the delivered content. For example, Blood pressure, nutrition, exercise, genetic heredity, and/or other semantic concepts may be presented to the user in one setting.


Content presentation component 26 is configured to effectuate presentation of one or more of a query, a survey, and/or other user interactions corresponding to the semantic concept to user 22. The query, the survey, and/or the other user interactions may ensure that user 22 has understood the content or of the information conveyed through the content, before proceeding further. In some embodiments, the one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interactions may be determined based on the content evaluation (described below).


A timing of the presentation of the one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interactions may be determined based on at least one user evaluation criteria. In some embodiments, user evaluation criteria includes one or more of the user 22's capability to memorize, recognize, recall, interpret, describe, or organize the content. In some embodiments, the one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interactions are selected and/or generated based on a semantic analysis of the content during the presentation of the video content. In some embodiments, the one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interactions may be presented after a delayed period. The delayed period is determined based on the user evaluation criteria. For example, if the user evaluation criteria is memorization and content is presented at a timestamp T, the one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interactions may be presented at timestamp T+X, where X represents content retention time of the user. Evaluating user 22 includes semantically analyzing keywords in a response provided by user 22 to the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction. For example, in a multimedia video, if heart failure and its symptoms are presented and a definition of “heart failure” is explained at ‘T’ second timestamp, content presentation component 26 may present a question regarding memorization of the presented content at ‘T+X’ second timestamp (delayed period), where X may be the concept retention time. If user 22 is unable to recall the concept at delayed period, user 22 may be evaluated, via user interaction evaluation component 30 (described below), as “weak” in memorization. Content presentation component 26 may present future queries, surveys, and/or other user interactions with shorter delayed period ‘T+Y’, where Y<X, until user 22's memorization skills improve and/or optimal time of user 22's retention capability is determined.


In some embodiments, content presentation component 26 is configured to, responsive to a determination by user interaction evaluation component 30 (described below), that user 22 answered the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction correctly (positive response), effectuate presentation of additional content to the user. In some embodiments the additional content may comprise one or more of new information related to the semantic concept, new information relating to other semantic concepts, and/or other additional content. In some embodiments, content presentation component 26 is configured such that effectuating presentation of the additional content includes one or more of fragmenting, reordering, altering, modifying, replacing, or combining portions of the additional content. Altering and/or modifying identified semantic concepts may include changing textual or visual information corresponding to the identified semantic concept prior to presentation. Fragmenting identified semantic concepts may include dividing the identified semantic concepts into smaller portions and presenting each of the smaller portions independent of one another. Combining identified semantic concepts may include combining a plurality of similar semantic concepts and/or a plurality of semantic concept segments prior to presentation. Replacing identified semantic concepts may include substituting one semantic concept for another semantic concept. For example, semantic concept of High Blood Pressure may be presented in fragmented components of nutrition, exercise, genetic heredity, and/or other components.


In some embodiments, content presentation component 26 is configured to, responsive to a determination by user interaction evaluation component 30 (described below), that user 22 answered the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction incorrectly, effectuate presentation of a query, a survey, and/or other user interaction corresponding to a simpler semantic concept. For example, a simpler semantic concept with respect to Diagnosis of Heart Failure may include Blood tests, Echo Cardiography, and/or other concepts. In this example, simpler semantic concepts are linked to a parent semantic concepts and are at a lower hierarchical level with respect to the parent semantic concept. For example, in a multimedia video, if heart failure and its symptoms are presented, content delivery component 26 may require user 22 to respond to the query, survey, and/or other user interaction based on a selected set of statements from the multimedia video which describe heart failure. Based on response provided by user 22, user 22's comprehension may be classified as strong or weak. Such determination may result in interventions such as presenting a simpler concept, with more illustration, dividing the concept into further sub concepts, and/or other interventions. Moreover, content delivery component 26 may present a new question that corresponds to a simpler semantic concept that may be more understandable. For example, a question based on the swelling of the legs (which is one individual symptom of heart failure) may be presented to user 22.


In some embodiments, content presentation component 26 is configured to, responsive to an incorrect response (negative response) provided by user 22 to the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction corresponding to the simpler semantic concept, effectuate presentation of simplified additional content. In some embodiments, the simplified additional content may comprise fragmented, reordered, altered, modified, replaced, or combined portions of the content for re-presentation to user 22. In some embodiments, content delivery component 26 may be configure to segment a multimedia video into smaller sub concepts, rearrange the segments based on semantic concept relations, and presents it to user 22. Content is segmented so that the user is presented with smaller and more comprehensible sub concepts before more difficult concepts are presented. Segmenting content also increases the flexibility of system 10 in presenting additional content and/or simplified additional content such that individual segments and/or a sequence of content segments are presented rather than the entirety of the content. For example, if user 22's understanding of heart failure is evaluated as poor, multimedia video corresponding to heart failure may be arranged in the following order of semantic concepts determined to be the easiest order to understand the semantic concepts: functioning of normal heart, heart related conditions (e.g. hypertension), heart failure symptoms, heart failure.


Content evaluation component 28 is configured to evaluate the content to determine the at least one semantic concept based on an evaluation parameter. The semantic concept are extracted based on text analysis of the content, by extracting the keywords related to a specific domain, and using a domain knowledge dictionary and ontology, the keywords are related with the semantic concept. In some embodiments the evaluation parameter may include one or more of a type of content, a complexity of content, a link with other semantic concepts, content segments, and/or other parameters. Content evaluation component is configured to determine the evaluation parameters based on an analysis of syntax of the content and/or other information. By way of a non-limiting example, FIG. 2 illustrates depth and breadth of a semantic concept 202 pertaining to a heart disease according to one or more embodiments. FIG. 2 illustrates various keywords 204a, 204b, 204c, 204d, . . . 204n associated with semantic concept 202. In some embodiments, content evaluation component 28 is configured to analyze the keywords linking various semantic concepts and various keywords within a given concept. For example, if the user can tell between difference between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure which are measurements related to high blood pressure semantic concept, the comprehension criteria with respect to high blood pressure is considered met. Moreover, based on user 22's comprehension of the high blood pressure semantic concept, user 22 understands how each of the blood pressure values impacts user 22's health, thus further educational material regarding controlling blood pressure would be readily understood by user 22. In some embodiments, content evaluation component 28 is configured to frame a question (e.g., for presentation to user 22 via content presentation component 26 and computing device 18) based on a depth and breadth of the semantic concept from the ontology in the content. For example, user 22 may be asked regarding the edema in the legs for a heart failure condition.


Returning to FIG. 1, user interaction evaluation component 30 is configured to evaluate interaction of user 22 with the content. In some embodiments, the evaluation may include determining whether the user answered one or more of the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction correctly or incorrectly. In some embodiments, user interaction evaluation component 30 is configured such that evaluating the interaction of user 22 with the content includes one or more of capturing, associating, arranging, or aggregating the query, the survey, and/or other user interaction and the response provided by the user. Interaction evaluation component 30 is configured to evaluate the interaction of user 22 with the content continuously during content presentation, periodically during content presentation, and/or at an end of and/or otherwise after the content presentation. In some embodiments, user interaction evaluation component 30 may be configured to, based on the evaluation criteria, links between content, and/or interaction of user 22 with the content, generate a summary report. The evaluation summary report comprises the evaluation of user interaction with respect to each of the evaluation criteria and each of the identified semantic concepts. For example, user 22 is evaluated with respect to an understanding of conditions of heart failure, symptoms, and precautions based on comprehension and memorization evaluation criteria and the results of each evaluation are recorded in the evaluation summary report. For example, if in a multimedia video, there are two instances of similar semantic concepts occurring within four minutes of one another, and interaction of user 22 with the content captured at times that correspond to the two semantic concepts reflects positive responses, the evaluation criteria of comprehension, re-interpretation and memorization may be considered as met with respect to the semantic concept. In some embodiments, user interaction evaluation component 30 may be configured to incentivize user 22 based on positive and/or negative responses provided by user 22. In some embodiments, user 22 may be incentivized in the form financial remuneration, which may motivate user 22 to use system 10 more effectively.


Electronic storage 14 comprises electronic storage media that electronically stores information. The electronic storage media of electronic storage 14 may comprise one or both of system storage that is provided integrally (i.e., substantially non-removable) with system 10 and/or removable storage that is removably connectable to system 10 via, for example, a port (e.g., a USB port, a firewire port, etc.) or a drive (e.g., a disk drive, etc.). Electronic storage 14 may be (in whole or in part) a separate component within system 10, or electronic storage 14 may be provided (in whole or in part) integrally with one or more other components of system 10 (e.g., computing device 18, processor 16, etc.).
