SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A USER COGNITIVE LOAD SERVICE

摘要

Systems and methods for a user cognitive load service are described. A cognitive load service runs on a user computing device such as a smart phone. A subscribing application on the device sends a subscription request to the cognitive load service, where the subscription request identifies a set of one or more focus applications. The cognitive load service generates a cognitive load score of the user based on the user's interaction with the device with respect to the focus applications. The service periodically sends the cognitive load score to the subscribing application. The subscribing application adjusts its user interface based on the cognitive load score.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a subscription request from an application on a user device, wherein the subscription request identifies at least one focus application; measuring at least one interaction parameter of a user with the user device, wherein the measuring of the interaction parameter includes measuring the extent of a user's interaction with applications other than the at least one focus application; determining a cognitive load score of the user based at least in part on the at least one interaction parameter; providing the cognitive load score to the application.
