Using structured communications to quantify social skills

摘要

Embodiments for using structured communications to quantify social skills and social behavioral factors. Communications between at least two devices are intercepted and/or relayed by a computer system wherein a portion of the communications correspond to an audible source and wherein the forwarding or processing of communications is based on a combination of historical, contextual and/or commanded information derived from current and past communications by the computer system. Primary statistics are measured based on the communications and contextual information. Secondary statistics are derived related to a user wherein the secondary statistics quantify social skills and behavioral factors of the user in one or more dimensions against one or more profiles or roles.

1. A method for using an observation platform to measure and quantify social skills, comprising:
intercepting and relaying, at a computer system, communications between at least two devices wherein a portion of said communications correspond to an audible source and wherein said relaying said communications is based on context information derived from said communications by said computer system; measuring primary statistics based on said communications at said computer system; generating secondary statistics related to a user associated with one of said at least two devices to generate an assessment of said user wherein said secondary statistics quantify social behaviors of said user; and making said assessment available to a third party.
