STATE OF THE ART

A large number of methods for conducting seminars and other types of coaching are known from the prior art. These are used by professional groups who work with people in an advisory, teaching and accompanying capacity. In direct contact, a map work has been established, whereby maps, on which conceptual or associative content is shown, are used as a supporting means of communication and decision-making. However, most of the existing seminars and coaching sessions take place offline, so that person-to-person interaction can take place without any problems.

Trainers, advisors, consultants, coaches, therapists, teachers and supervisors have recently benefited from digitally supported tools for communication and work with their groups and clients. For example, in the context of adult education, professional trainers and business trainers use digital teaching and learning aids when working with groups, as do speakers. In supporting individuals, couples, families and teams, coaches, career counselors, management consultants, social workers, chaplains, supervisors, lawyers (mediation) and psychotherapists also work with digital methods. Within companies, management consultants/consultants, team leaders, executives and personnel decision-makers use such Internet-supported methods when working with employees, departments or project teams.

But digital methods are also used in schools and universities by teachers, university lecturers, school social workers and dispute mediators - both to support education and in conflict management.

With the increasing proportion of online coaching and training, the problem arises that direct person-to-person communication is usually only possible to a limited extent. The state of the art already offers a large number of solutions for reducing any language or communication barriers.

For example, the WO 2004/072925 A2 a method for language learning that provides a large number of templates, the content of the templates being able to be adapted to the level of knowledge of the user.

the WO 2004/038677 A2 shows a game for teaching financial principles, such as managing money and dealing with periodic income and expenses.

the DE 10 2010 017 700 A1 discloses a system for remote coaching or distance training, which can present the trainers with a variety of perspectives.

In addition, the EP 2 140 385 B1 a system comprising a group of user devices that identify and adjust the individual learning performance of each user accordingly.

The website playingcard.io discloses a system for playing cards online.

Wang, M and Zhu, L disclose an online poker game structure in "Designing and implementing an online card game based on Android 20 graphics".

the WO 2020/191375 A1 discloses a system for online instruction.

US 2012/0 264 099 A1 discloses a computer-based interactive online learning system.

A disadvantage of the prior art is that current online training courses can have a large number of problems in human-to-human communication.

The object of the present invention is to provide online coaching or training to improve communication and to reduce misunderstandings.

An improved computer-implemented method for operating a computer network structure for non-verbal communication and for coaching using at least one card set can advantageously be provided with embodiments of the invention.

This object is achieved by the computer-implemented method for operating a computer network structure, a computer-implemented method for operating a computer terminal, a computer program element, a computer network structure and a computer terminal according to the independent claims.

Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims. Technical terms are used in the usual way. Where a particular meaning is conferred on a particular term, the following are definitions of terms within which the terms are used.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

According to the invention, a computer-implemented method for operating a computer network structure, in particular a server with a storage medium, for non-verbal communication and for coaching using a card set is provided. At least one display scenario is selected by means of a first trainer input from a trainer terminal, with at least two sets of cards being provided, with one of the at least two sets of cards being selected by means of a second trainer input from the trainer terminal, wherein based on the selected display scenario and based on the selected set of cards a Access code, in particular for a user and/or a trainer, is generated.

• - Empfangen einer fünften Trainereingabe von dem Trainerendgerät zur Generierung von zumindest zwei Gruppenkommunikationskanälen,
• - Aufteilen einer Vielzahl an Nutzerendgeräten in zumindest zwei Gruppen, welche insbesondere jeweils eine vorbestimmte Anzahl an Nutzerendgeräte aufweisen,
• - Bereitstellen der Gruppenkommunikationskanäle zwischen den aufgeteilten Nutzerendgeräten basierend auf den zumindest zwei Gruppen,

wobei jeder Gruppenkommunikationskanal das Darstellungsszenario und das ausgewählte Kartenset aufweist, wobei das Verfahren die Schritte aufweist:

• - Darstellen zumindest einer Karte des Kartensets auf einem Computerendgerät und zumindest eines Ankerplatzes auf dem Computerendgerät, wobei der Ankerplatz dazu eingerichtet ist, eine Karte dauerhaft auf dem Computerendgerät darzustellen,
• - Empfangen einer zweiten Nutzereingabe mittels des Computerendgeräts, wobei die zweite Nutzereingabe dazu eingerichtet ist, eine weitere Karte des Kartensets auf dem Computerendgerät darzustellen oder die dargestellte Karte auf dem Ankerplatz zu positionieren.

It is suggested that the method further comprises the steps of:

• - receiving a fifth trainer input from the trainer terminal to generate at least two group communication channels,
• - Dividing a large number of user terminals into at least two groups, which in particular each have a predetermined number of user terminals,
• - providing the group communication channels between the divided user terminals based on the at least two groups,

each group communication channel having the presentation scenario and the selected map set, the method comprising the steps of:

• - Displaying at least one map of the map set on a computer terminal and at least one anchorage on the computer terminal, the anchorage being set up to display a map permanently on the computer terminal,
• - Receiving a second user input by means of the computer terminal, the second user input being set up to display another map of the map set on the computer terminal or to position the displayed map on the anchorage.

The invention can be used in particular in the context of the areas of application mentioned in the prior art between trainers/coaches and trainees/participants. An advantage of this embodiment can be that the method can be used to select a card set that can be used for non-verbal communication and for coaching between a trainer and a trainee/participant, in order to improve communication between the two, in particular on the non-verbal level. to improve. A further advantage is that the code generated is used to control access to the set of cards, whereby a user password is also explicitly dispensed with, as this means that no assignment to a trainee or participant in the training can take place and data protection criteria can therefore be met. Furthermore, different learning content can be communicated between the trainer and the participant using the display scenario in combination with the card set. For example, by arranging the map sets differently in the display scenario, a different result can be achieved than with other forms of display.

In other words, a computer-implemented method for operating a computer network structure, in particular a server with a storage medium, for non-verbal communication and for coaching using at least one card set is provided. The computer network structure can be, in particular, a single server with a storage medium or else a cloud computing or cloud storage system, so that a large number of systems can be used for the method. The card sets consist in particular of a large number of individual cards. Each card may include at least one piece of media content, such as an image. This image can, for example, have an imprint, such as loyalty, stability or the like, or be linked to an emotion, for example freedom or the like, for the participant in the training. Thus, the training participant can communicate various emotions or the like to the trainer by means of the card sets, so that the non-verbal communication between the trainer and the training participant can be improved.

Furthermore, the trainer can select a display scenario by means of a trainer input on a trainer terminal, such as a PC, tablet, smartphone or the like. The display scenario can be, for example, a form of display of the cards on a trainer and/or participant device. For example, steps of a process can be discussed between the trainer and the participant, so that the display scenario is selected in such a way that it displays a flowchart or the like.

Furthermore, the display scenario can also be a flip chart or other alternative ways of displaying the cards or card sets.

The method also includes the step of providing, downloading, uploading and/or making available at least two sets of cards. The card sets can be, for example, a large number of individual cards, each of which has media content. Each card set can have different cards or the same cards can appear several times in different card sets. For example, documentation guides can be downloaded and new map sets can be uploaded. Minutes or documentation created in a session, for example, can also be generated and made available for download, which contains an example of content from an input and reaction by a trainer/participant. This can also be created automatically and track, i.e. log and document, the course of the session, displayed map content, interactions and inputs. In order to use your own materials and media content, documents can be uploaded in card form, in particular uploaded to an individual account of a trainer or participant. It is also conceivable that additional materials such as booklets (PDFs), videos, tutorials with explanations or additional information/notes for the use of specific card sets or training scenarios can be uploaded and made available or downloaded.

Furthermore, the method can have the following step: selecting, selecting and/or determining one of the at least two card sets by means of a second trainer input from the trainer terminal. Among other things, the trainer can have the cards or the card set or the card sets displayed on the trainer terminal, such as a tablet, smartphone and/or PC. The trainer can then use the second trainer input, such as a mouse click, a random number generator and/or a swipe process or similar, to select at least one of the two card sets in order to make this available to the training participant in order to enable non-verbal communication.

Furthermore, the method can include the step of generating, creating and/or producing the access code, in particular for a user and/or a trainer, based on the selected display scenario and based on the selected card sets.

In other words, the method is used to set up the computer-implemented network structure to generate an access code for a user or participant and/or a trainer or session manager based on the selected presentation scenario and based on the selected card set. The access code can be a QR code, a numeric code or any other form of code that can be entered manually or automatically. For example, the trainer can have a number of display scenarios displayed using a trainer terminal device, such as a tablet, and can select at least one of the display scenarios using a swipe or similar input, in particular the first trainer input. In addition, the trainer can use a second trainer input, such as a swipe movement on the tablet, to select one of the at least two displayed sets of cards, which are provided by the method for operating a computer network structure. Based on the selected display scenario and the selected map set, an access code can be generated either automatically or manually by the trainer, which allows a participant or user of the training to have the display scenario and the map set displayed on his user device.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that group work between the individual participants is made possible using the group communication channels. This can serve to increase communication efficiency. Furthermore, the trainer can dial into one or both of the group communication channels in order to communicate with the participants.

In other words, in group coaching or group training, the participants are divided into groups or groups of the communication system, such as a video chat. The groups that are connected to one another by means of the group communication channel will have access to the same card set and/or different card sets. Furthermore, the card sets in the group communication channels will serve to increase the efficiency of communication between the group members. The group rooms are generated, generated and/or created by means of receiving, downloading and/or obtaining a fifth trainer input from the trainer terminal, such as a swipe movement or the like, on a tablet. The fifth trainer input from the trainer terminal is set up to generate, generate and/or create at least two group communication channels. Furthermore, in the case of group coaching, the associated user terminals divided, assigned and/or divided into at least two groups, in particular in such a way that the total number of user terminals is divided into two or more groups. Furthermore, a plurality of groups is also generated, with the number of participants per group being arbitrary. An upper limit for the number of groups can advantageously be defined so that, for example, a total group of 20 user terminals is divided into groups of 5 user terminals and four groups are thus created. Furthermore, the group communication channels can be provided, generated and/or generated between the divided user terminals based on the at least two groups. The group communication channels can be any type of video, audio and/or text communication, such as a video or text chat.

A number of participants can be divided into several group rooms before the start of a session, so that each participant receives an access code in an assigned room. Alternatively, participants can also be automatically assigned to a predefined group. In one example, the trainer of a group presses a button to generate the group or group communication channels. The participants in the group are then automatically divided into smaller groups so that they can then communicate with each other in separate group communication channels.

One advantage of this embodiment can be that the user can use the at least one anchorage on the computer terminal to select a map and position it on the anchorage with a swiping motion, for example, in order to display a map permanently, for example. With this, for example, a card or an image on a card can be assigned to a category or an impression. A category means a delimitable characteristic attribute or a generic term or group into which a meaning or statement content of a card can be classified, which can also be delimited as a class or genus from another category. Thus, non-verbal communication can be facilitated, since associations can be generated between the image and on the charts and the anchorages.

In other words, at least one map of the map set is shown, displayed and/or made available on the computer terminal and at least one anchorage on the computer terminal. The anchorage represents a map permanently on the computer terminal, for example when the map is positioned on the anchorage. In this context, the term “permanently” means that the map can be displayed on the computer terminal for the duration of a training session or the like. In addition, the computer terminal is set up to receive, determine and/or obtain a second user input, the second user input being set up to display another map of the map set on the computer terminal or to position the displayed map on the anchorage. Thus, for example, a map of the map set and an anchorage are displayed on the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a second user input from the user, which represents either a next or another card in the card set, or the same input can be performed in such a way that the card is moved from the card stack in the card set to the anchorage, for example, so that it is permanently displayed on the anchorage will. In particular, the second user input can be a swipe or wiping movement, or the activation of a random number generator, or an input using a mouse or the like.

• • Bereitstellen einer Vielzahl von Darstellungsszenarien auf der Computernetzwerkstruktur,
• • Empfangen der Auswahl eines Darstellungsszenarios aus der Vielzahl von Darstellungsszenarien mittels der ersten Trainereingabe über das Trainerendgerät.

In an advantageous development, the selection of the display scenario using a first trainer input can have the following steps:

• • Providing a variety of display scenarios on the computer network structure,
• • Receiving the selection of a display scenario from the plurality of display scenarios using the first trainer input via the trainer terminal.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the different presentation scenarios of the training can be used to achieve different goals, in particular goals that are adapted to the presentation scenario or vice versa, and thus an increase in the effectiveness of the communication between participant and trainer can be achieved.

In other words, the computer network structure, in particular from a storage medium of the computer network structure, has a large number of display scenarios. The multitude of presentation scenarios can have different purposes, such as a flip chart room, a control room, a process room and/or a creative room. For example, the flipchart room can be a display scenario that visualizes a flipchart on which at least one card of the card set or at least one card set can be visualized. The control room can be a display scenario, which functions as a planning area, where a trainer or coach can see the card set, the order of the cards, the simultaneous courses of the training and/or the access code can generate or select. It is also possible to enable or set up hybrid events, such as online and face-to-face events, in a control room. A process space can be a representation scenario that can be used to model procedural flows, as is the case in process management, for example. This can be particularly advantageous for the production and development of products that take place in a process. A creative room can be a display scenario in which the display scenario shows the user or trainer a pinboard, a whiteboard or other creative technology elements in order to display the cards and their card sets.

• • Bereitstellen einer Vielzahl von Kartensets auf der Computernetzwerkstruktur, wobei jedes Kartenset zumindest zwei Karten aufweist, wobei jede Karte zumindest einen Multimediainhalt aufweist,

In an advantageous development, the selection of one of the at least two card sets can have the following steps:

• • Providing a large number of card sets on the computer network structure, each card set having at least two cards, each card having at least one multimedia content,
• • Receiving the selection of a card set from the plurality of card sets using the second trainer input via the trainer's terminal.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the trainer can use the large number of card sets to select a card set which is adapted to the purpose of the training and thus improved communication between a participant in the training and the leader of the training can take place.

In other words, a large number of card sets are provided on the computer network structure, in particular on a storage medium of the computer network structure. In this case, each of the plurality of card sets has at least two cards. In addition, each card can have at least one multimedia content, such as an image, text, animation, graphics, photo, audio file, video file and/or a combination thereof. Furthermore, a card set can be selected from the plurality of card sets via the trainer terminal by means of the second trainer input. The second trainer input may also be configured to select multiple card sets from the plurality of card sets. In addition, several map sets can be displayed in one display scenario. The cards of the card sets can also have a predefined or a random order for processing the card sets. Furthermore, a card can have word and/or image content. Images can be linked to emotions, moods and/or impressions that cannot be precisely captured. Furthermore, these images can also be understood across language boundaries or barriers. The contents of the card can trigger impulse reactions, such as moods, impressions, emotions or the like. In addition, the cards can also be question cards or information cards. The multimedia content can contain, for example, a map such as image content, text content, audio content, video content, PowerPoint content and/or multimedia content. Furthermore, the card content or the card sets can include company-specific content and/or guidelines, which can be used, for example, to enhance the corporate identity.

• • Hinzufügen und/oder Entfernen zumindest einer Karte aus den ausgewählten Kartensets, basierend auf einer dritten Trainereingabe von dem Trainerendgerät.

In an advantageous development, the selection of one of the at least two card sets can include the step:

• • Adding and/or removing at least one card from the selected card sets based on a third trainer input from the trainer terminal.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the card set can be adapted to a specific training situation by adding or removing the at least one card from the selected card set, so that the efficiency of communication between a trainer and a participant can be further increased.

In other words, the card set can be adapted to the specific training by adding or removing the at least one card from the selected card set. In particular, a deactivation of individual cards offers a simple usability of the specific adaptability of a card set to a desired application scenario. Differently configurable card sets can be fixed card sets, card sets with individually configurable cards or card sets that can be completely freely assembled. Map sets from a public library can be modified for a particular mission by activating or deactivating individual maps from the map set. Own materials in the form of card sets can be modified at any time in all variants, cards can be added, omitted or redesigned.

This configuration of the selected card set can be done using the third trainer input, such as a swipe movement on a tablet or activation of a random number generator. The cards can be added and/or removed before and after the access code has been generated. In addition, by adding and/or removing the at least one card from the selected ten card sets an order of the cards in the card set can be changed.

• • Bereitstellen einer Verbindung zwischen der Computernetzwerkstruktur und einer Datenbank, wobei die Datenbank zumindest ein weiteres Kartenset aufweist,
• • Hinzufügen zumindest des weiteren Kartensets zu der Vielzahl an Kartensets mittels der Verbindung.

In an advantageous development, the method can have the following steps:

• • Providing a connection between the computer network structure and a database, the database having at least one additional card set,
• • Adding at least the further card set to the plurality of card sets by means of the connection.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the connection can be used to access a large number of additional card sets, so that the trainer can adapt the card sets to a particular situation in order to further improve the quality of the training.

In other words, the connection can be used to establish or provide a connection between the computer network structure and a database, the database being in particular a public database for card sets. With the help of a further trainer input, the trainer can add and/or add at least one further card set to the plurality of card sets via the connection. Thus, the trainer can add another card set to the plurality of card sets, for example when a situation in a training requires it, so that the effort for the trainer is minimized since the card set can be provided by the public database.

In an advantageous development, the display scenario can have a structure for displaying the set of cards, in particular a flowchart and/or a display area, in particular a flipchart.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the recognizability and thus the transferability of the cards in the card set can be further improved with the aid of the structure for displaying the card set or the display area.

In other words, the display scenario has a structure for displaying the map set. The display scenario or the structure for display can also display a large number of card sets, in particular in a flow chart or the like. Furthermore, the structure can also take on other forms or characteristics in order, for example, to be able to represent processes or structures, such as an organization chart, in a simplified manner. Furthermore, the display scenario can display or have a display surface, such as a flipchart. In particular, a large number of cards and/or a large number of card sets can be displayed clearly for a user with the aid of the flipchart or display areas.

• • Providing the communication channel between the trainer terminal and the user terminal based on the fourth trainer input.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the trainer can use the communication channel to communicate with the participant in the training, so that the trainer can support the participant in selecting a card or the like. A further advantage can be that the quality of training can be further improved with the aid of the communication channel.

In other words, the method comprises the steps of receiving, downloading and/or retrieving a trainer's input from the trainer's terminal in order to provide a communication channel. The communication channel can in particular be an audio, video and/or text channel, such as a video chat, audio chat or text chat. The communication channel is provided in particular between the trainer terminal and the at least one user terminal. Furthermore, it is also possible that a multiplicity of communication channels can be provided between a trainer terminal and a multiplicity of user terminals. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the communication channels between the trainer terminal and the user terminal can be used in such a way that users can also communicate with one another. The method also includes the step of providing or creating the communication channel between the trainer terminal and the user terminal, based on the fourth trainer input. In other words, a fourth trainer input on the trainer terminal, such as a swipe or press movement on a tablet, triggers the provision, creation and/or generation of the communication channel.

In a secondary aspect, a computer-implemented method for operating a computer terminal for non-verbal communication and for coaching using at least one Map sets provided. In the method for operating a computer terminal, an access code, which was generated according to the method for operating a computer network structure as described above and below, is received and/or entered by means of a first user input on the computer terminal. Furthermore, based on the access code, the at least one card set with at least two cards, each of which has at least one multimedia content, is displayed in a display scenario on the computer terminal, the method having the steps:

• - Displaying at least one map of the map set on a computer terminal and at least one anchorage on the computer terminal, the anchorage being set up to display a map permanently on the computer terminal,
• - Receiving a second user input by means of the computer terminal, the second user input being set up to display another map of the map set on the computer terminal or to position the displayed map on the anchorage.

One advantage of this embodiment can be that the access code can be used to display an individual display scenario on the computer device in order to display the map set including the maps and the associated media content in the display scenario. In particular, this increases the effectiveness of communication between a trainer and a participant in a coaching session, since the cards can also be used to transmit non-verbal elements, such as emotions and/or impressions.

In other words, a method for operating a computer terminal, such as a smartphone, tablet and/or PC, for non-verbal communication and for coaching using at least one card set is provided. The computer terminal can be set up to receive, download and/or obtain an access code which was generated as described above and below. Alternatively or additionally, the computer terminal can be set up so that the access code can be entered or typed in and/or inserted on the computer terminal using the first user input. Furthermore, the computer terminal is set up, based on the access code, that at least one card set with at least two cards, each of which has at least one multimedia content, such as a photo, an image, a text, an animation sequence, a video and /or has an audio file, in a display scenario, in particular a flowchart or flipchart, to display, display and/or output on the computer terminal. For example, a user enters the access code at the computer terminal into the computer terminal, for example by means of a numeric code. As soon as the access code has been entered, the display scenario is displayed on the computer terminal, in which the at least one set of cards is displayed. The card set can consist of at least two cards, which can be displayed simultaneously and/or alternately on the computer terminal.

• • Darstellen zumindest zweier Ankerplätze, wobei jeder der beiden Ankerplätze eine vorbestimmte Kategorie aufweist,
• • Zuordnen der zumindest einen Karte des Kartensets zu einem der beiden Ankerplätze mittels der zweiten Nutzereingabe, sodass die Karte auf dem Ankerplatz der vorbestimmten Kategorie zugeordnet wird.

In an advantageous development, the method can have the following steps:

• • Displaying at least two anchorages, each of the two anchorages having a predetermined category,
• • Assigning the at least one card of the card set to one of the two anchorages by means of the second user input, so that the card on the anchorage is assigned to the predetermined category.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that using the category of anchorages, the cards can be assigned to a predetermined category, so that an association between the predetermined category and the card can take place, which can facilitate non-verbal communication between the trainer and the participant.

In other words, the computer terminal is set up to present, display and/or provide at least two anchorages, each of the two anchorages having and/or being associated with a predetermined category. Furthermore, the computer terminal can be set up to assign, position and/or transfer the at least one card of the card set to one of the two anchorages using the second user input, so that the card is assigned or associated to the anchorage of the predetermined category. For example, two anchorages have a first category associated with freedom and a second category associated with relaxation. With the help of the second user input, the user can now assign cards from the card sets to the respective category, for example freedom or relaxation, by means of a swipe or wiping movement.

In an advantageous development, the at least two anchorages can be arranged along a predetermined geometry, in particular a circle or a chessboard.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that using the predetermined geometry a simplified recognizability or assignment of the cards can take place.

In other words, the computer terminal is set up to arrange, display or provide the at least two anchorages along a predetermined geometry, in particular a circle or a chessboard. A large number of geometries can be included in the predetermined geometry, which are suitable for displaying charts and chart sets as well as anchorages on a computer terminal. The concept of the predetermined geometry is therefore to be understood very broadly.

• • Empfangen einer dritten Nutzereingabe am Computerendgerät zum Anzeigen und/oder Abspielen des Medieninhalts der Karte.

In an advantageous development, the media content of the card can have an image, an audio, a video and/or a text content, the method having the step:

• • receiving a third user input at the computer terminal to display and/or play the media content of the map.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the non-verbal communication can be further improved by playing media content.

In other words, the media content of the card can have or include image, audio, video and/or text content. The media content can also be a combination of image, audio, video and/or text content. For example, an image can be displayed on a map in combination with text and/or audio content. Furthermore, the computer terminal can be set up to receive, query and/or obtain a third user input on the computer terminal for displaying and/or playing the media content of the card. For example, a map has a video element that can be played back on the computer terminal using the third user input, so that the video content becomes visible to the user. For example, a card from the card set can also be displayed face down so that the media content of the card becomes visible through the third user input.

In an ancillary aspect, a computer program element which, when executed on a process entity, instructs the process entity steps according to the method for operating a computer network structure as described above and below, and/or steps of the method for operating a computer terminal as described above and below described to perform.

An advantage of this embodiment can be that the computer program element can be used to select a card set that can be used for non-verbal communication and coaching between a trainer and a trainee, in order to improve communication between the two, particularly at the non-verbal level. A further advantageous effect can be that the computer program element enables a decentralized organization of the training or coaching since the trainer and the participant do not have to be at the same place.

The computer program element can be part of a computer program or else an independent computer program. In addition, for example, the computer program element can also be an update of existing software in order to arrive at the present invention. In addition, steps of the method as described above and below can be steps of the computer program element and vice versa.

In a secondary aspect, a computer network structure, in particular a server, is provided for non-verbal communication and for coaching using at least one card set.
