System and method for remote test administration and monitoring

摘要

A system and method for remote test administration are disclosed. The system includes a testing station having a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory configured to store processor executable instructions configured to acquire biometric information related to a user, wherein the user is substantially adjacent to the testing station; identify at least one biometric vector within the acquired biometric information; and communicate the identified biometric vector. The system further includes a monitoring station configured to receive the biometric vector communicated by the testing station, the monitoring station having a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory configured to store processor executable instructions configured to: compare the received biometric vector to a stored biometric vector and determine a recognition weight; group the biometric vector into one or more polling clusters based on the recognition weight and one or more recognition thresholds; and monitor the user at the testing station based on feature vectors associated with the one or more polling clusters.

1. A system for remote administration of a test, including a plurality of testing units each having a memory, a processor and a biometric capture unit, with the processor in each testing unit executing a program performing the steps of:
acquiring biometric information related to a user taking the test or a similar test by the biometric capture unit; identifying at least one biometric vector for the user within the acquired biometric information; generating at least one feature vector for the each user based on the at least one biometric vector; outlier information receiving at least one outlier feature vector from a test administration unit, the outlier feature vector being based on the at least one biometric vector of other of the users taking the test or a substantially similar test; comparing the feature vector with each of the at least one outlier feature vectors to determine a deviation weight for each user; grouping the at least one biometric vector into one or more polling clusters based on a deviation weight of the user and one or more deviation thresholds; monitoring the biometric information of the user based on feature vectors associated with the one or more polling clusters to determine whether at least one feature vector of the user is substantially similar to at least one outlier feature vector; and transmitting a notification to the test administration unit if at least one feature vector is substantially similar to at least one outlier feature vector.
