  • a user program is any program with which one can achieve a purpose that is outside the determination and improvement of program operability, such as creating a printable text, printing the same, creating a graphic, a table, creating programs for the electronic control of machines, viewing websites on the Internet and downloading files from the Internet and much more
  • a computer game in which the system functions are operated as optimally as possible and in which points are awarded as a reward and a cash prize may be distributed is not a user program in terms of registration. The same applies to a pure training program for practicing the operation of a program.
  • DE 199 03 631 AI describes a system for pre-parameterizing components by means of which the program's standard settings are stored.
  • DE 41 21 564 AI relates to a device for supporting document creation in a document creation device for such tasks. From the article "Adapting the Web Interface: An Adaptive Web Browser” by K. Hennricksen and J. Indulska, in: Proceedings of the Second Australian User Interface Conference (AUIC'01), January 29 - February 01, 2001, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, pp. 21-27, it is known that web browsers can adapt to settings specified by the user or his system, eg given limited possibilities for color representation, certain images can be sent with preference, which do not require a high color representation capability For this purpose, certain quality indices are created.
  • this browser can also adapt to the user.
  • the system may offer fewer program functions for beginners than for the advanced user. It can be assumed that the user experience is measured by counting the frequency of logging in or at the very most - the article is silent - by measuring the duration of use.
  • This article also mentions the possibility of defining a new command option for a frequently occurring command sequence, by means of which the operating speed is increased. This is a program operator extension that is not provided in the original program code.
  • Training programs for computer programs are known in which one function after the other is activated and can then be practiced. Such training lies outside the normal operation of a user program.
  • This problem is solved by using the input signals (individual keys, key combinations, mouse signals or possibly still to be evaluated voice or image signals) to form a characteristic value for system operability and to award a reward or punishment or help if the characteristic value exceeds a characteristic value limit - and / or falls below.
  • a mouse signal here means both a button click, a coherent process of moving the mouse ("drag and drop" to move text parts in a word processing program or image field parts in a graphics program) and, if there is a role, their operation a speech sequence entered by a microphone may have to be evaluated by a speech recognition program, and the order of the evaluation is then arranged according to the command given or the word or phrase given by the sound sequence
  • An image can also be evaluated based on the content of the image, for example on the occurrence of certain geometric figures (triangles, squares) or also image symbols therein.
  • a characteristic value in the sense of the application is a non-binary characteristic value, that is, a characteristic value that differs from a mere “yes” or “no” so that a limit is actually to be regarded as being exceeded.
  • the characteristic value should therefore be at least ternary, the variable should therefore be able to assume three values, namely a lower value, a value to be exceeded, a value above the limit.
  • a quaternary value or a characteristic variable that can have five values is advantageous. In order to be able to exceed and fall below different limits, a quaternary characteristic value is necessary, namely with a value below the limit, for the lower limit, for the upper limit, and with a value above the upper limit. If you want an intermediate value, you need a fifth value.
  • the characteristic value will be a rational number, usually even a real number.
  • the characteristic value should be a characteristic value for the system operability.
  • the system comprises a) the purely mechanical part, that is to say the operation of the typewriter keyboard and the mouse or also the scanner or microphone, and b) all the functions and function call options that the system provides. For example, it can refer to how many functions and how they are called up (keyboard, mouse, voice input).
  • the characteristic value is thus related to the ability to use the overall system, even if possibly only to a partial aspect such as a single program function.
  • Such a characteristic for system operability differs from what is described in the above-mentioned article by Henricksen and Indulska because it speaks of new program functions (atomic action) as an abbreviation of command sequences.
  • the reward can be an extension of the program operating options or a reward external to the program, e.g. a working time bonus or the like his.
  • the punishment can be a limitation of the program operating options or a punishment external to the program.
  • help can be offered, which can consist in a simplification of the program operation, which is designed in such a way that it is defined for each user as a function of the characteristic value.
  • the simplification of the program operation can be for one user to remove a circuit symbol, for another user additional circuit symbols are desirable.
  • two characteristic value limits are provided, one serving to define the reward allocation and the other to define the punishment allocation.
  • the invention serves to increase the effectiveness of the individual operators.
  • punishment can be envisaged, especially if the characteristic value indicates high performance and with a characteristic value indicating a low performance, it may also be a reward.
  • the characteristic value limit can preferably be adapted by means of a unit for adaptation.
  • the adjustment can take place after the awarding of a reward, punishment or help, or also at predefined time intervals, e.g. at the same time intervals or after longer and longer time intervals, so that the user can be trained in a certain way.
  • the characteristic value is the number of keystrokes per unit of time, the latter being formed by means of an interval predetermined by a time cycle.
  • the system operability is to be understood as mastery of the keyboard (which, however, is often influenced by a dictation speed).
  • An aid can be, for example, that if the number of keystrokes falls below a (characteristic) limit, the program can be operated, for example
  • the characteristic value limit can then preferably be changed during operation of the program by means of a unit for adapting, so that the key press can be optimized.
  • a corresponding computer system must have computers which are equipped with a keyboard with an adaptable keystroke, the adaptation being carried out via electrical (or else optical or infrared) signals from the computer.
  • the keystroke can e.g. by means of the enlargement or reduction of a chamber containing a weakly compressible fluid via a magnetic field-controlled piston. While in a preferred version the key pressure is the same for all keys, it can also be provided that
  • the determination unit can also determine both the frequency (whole number) with which signals are entered using the mouse and the frequency (whole number) with which key combinations are entered, so that the characteristic value as a function of these Both frequencies can serve as an indication of whether the user prefers to use key combinations to call up a function or the mouse for this.
  • an aid can then be that the preferred way of calling a function is supported.
  • the switch icons on the screen can be enlarged to make it easier to click with the mouse when the user prefers the mouse. Conversely, clicking on the switch symbols (smaller symbols, window opens more slowly) can be made more difficult if the user prefers the latter in order to train him to use the faster key combinations.
  • Such a characteristic value can also be formed for each individual function (eg difference or quotient of the frequencies; if the quotient has a frequency of zero in the denominator, the characteristic value is chosen as a very high number). For example, it can then be determined for the functions “copy”, “paste” and “character format” whether the user uses a key combination or the mouse to call them up, and the preferred operation can then be supported. This can go as far as that, for example, the functions "Copy” and "Paste” are removed from the toolbars and the menu windows and only a call with the key combinations "Ctrl-C” and “Ctrl-V” is possible, while the function "Character Format" continues with the toolbar can be called.
  • a document can be closed by pressing a button, but the same function is also available in the file menu.
  • the function can be removed from the file menu if the user uses the switching icon.
  • a switch symbol or a key combination can be omitted if a corresponding command is always or mostly (e.g. frequency>99.5%,>99%,>98%,>95%,>90%,>85%,> 80% ,>75%,>67%,> 50%) is entered via voice input.
  • the user can also be asked whether the menu should be reduced by this function.
  • a window can be opened that draws the user's attention to the switch symbol.
  • a characteristic value can e.g. can also be created for each of the circuit symbols, and those circuit symbols that are never used can be automatically removed from the toolbar as an aid.
  • the user can be provided with new switching symbols for functions that he often calls up in the menu. It is also possible for the user, in the case of functions which are frequently called up using the mouse or by voice or image input, to be made aware of an existing key combination for this purpose in such an auxiliary window. For frequently called functions that are related, an available roll-up window can be called up and appear on the edge of the screen.
  • the characteristic value can relate the frequencies of any signal input types to one another.
  • a previously used key combination can also be omitted and a previously unused or infrequently used key combination must then be activated (simply or) several times until the omitted key combination is available again.
  • a reward, punishment or help can also consist in a change in the number of possible assignments of key combinations to program functions, i.e. in an increase in the absolute number of the program functions to be called up by the user by means of key combinations available to him by activating the same or in that different Key combinations are assigned the same function, e.g.
  • key combinations consisting of a first key and a second key are supplemented by key combinations consisting of the first key and a key adjacent to the second key, e.g. "Ctrl-Q", “Ctrl-W” or “Ctrl-Alt-K” and “Ctrl-Alt-L". If there are typing errors, there may be an increased chance that the correct function will be called.
  • a completely different key combination can also belong to the same function if, instead of the second key, a key that is more than three key distances apart (i.e. two keys in between) can be pressed, e.g. "Ctrl-Q and" Ctrl-T "or” Ctrl-F "for the same program function.
  • the characteristic value can also relate exclusively to the mouse signal input. It is determined how many different windows, window parts (menu items etc.) and / or
  • Switch symbols have been called up with the mouse since the start of the procedure or in a specific time interval or how many different program functions have been activated in total.
  • the allocation of a punishment or (training) aid then consists in the removal of a previously used window (for example a window that is frequently or at least often used) and the provision of an additional screen element. If the latter is used a certain number of times, the window that has disappeared is made available again.
  • the change can also be that the space occupied by frames, windows, toolbars, etc. is increased or decreased.
  • the space available for displaying the text can be enlarged in a word processing program and a better overview can be provided, which is particularly useful with small screens such as notebooks.
  • the text character representation can also be changed, for example the font or from bold text to normal text, but in particular a smaller font size can be selected, at least on the screen (zoom function reversed).
  • Image field representations in a graphics program can also be made smaller, graphic elements may be designed with thinner lines, so that space is saved, or some small elements may not be shown exactly.
  • many function symbols in particular the switch symbols in the toolbar, can be activated with the mouse (right mouse button) comment flags that call the function of the symbol.
  • the comment flag can be expanded if the symbol is rarely called up or not pressed, e.g. be enlarged or supplemented (or also replaced) by a help window.
  • a special function is the function to undo the previous entry or the previous operation. It is then possible to determine which process is reversed particularly often, for example which key combination a user particularly often accidentally types (typing errors), which mouse action often goes wrong or how often a speech or image input is evaluated incorrectly. The characteristic value or values evaluate the frequency of these incorrectly performed operations.
  • the corresponding input is then made more difficult as an aid: For example, the key combination can be changed (other keys for the same function, in particular keys that are further apart) or supplemented, ie an additional key is necessary.
  • the key combination can also be completely omitted and instead a mouse action (actuation of the switching symbol) is required. Performs a specific one Mouse action frequently leads to errors, it can be delayed.
  • the right mouse button is additionally required for "drop” or that the dragging on the screen is somewhat slower than corresponds to the mouse movement. If the interpretation of voice or image input as a specific command frequently leads to an error, if such an input is interpreted again as this command, a repetition, for example slowly spoken or more carefully scanned, or confirmation by other means (mouse etc.) be requested.
  • a reward, punishment or help can also consist in the loss of existing program functions or in the provision of additional functions.
  • non-program rewards and punishments can also be provided:
  • a change can be provided in a working time account, e.g. overtime can be entered if a secretary is typing quickly or the flextime can be restricted to certain hours if a secretary generates a few strokes per minute.
  • a computer system or computer network with such a program can be coupled to a working time recording system, for example a time clock system. Accordingly, bonus points etc. can also be allocated, which can be monetary.
  • a mixture of internal or external reward or punishment can also be that a computer game or another program (eg for Internet access) is made available to the user on the computer system or vice versa (preferred for the user's lunch break).
  • Different programs can therefore be linked together and a reward for an entry in one program can have an effect in another program.
  • certain standard key combinations such as "Ctrl-C” and “Ctrl-V” can be used for copying and pasting in several programs, and if the switch symbol is omitted due to the use of the key combinations in one program, it can also be removed in another, ie rewards, punishments or help can be carried out simultaneously in different programs on the same computer system, which are of the same type.
  • a characteristic value can then relate to the operating system (for example Windows ME) as the actual program, and it can be determined how often the user calls which (sub) programs, so that a reward, punishment or help is then provided in a user system the installed program running the computer system is transferred to another, which is also called up with a certain frequency.

Abstract

En vue d'optimiser l'utilisation d'un programme utilisateur, par exemple, un programme de traitement de texte, le programme est adapté à l'utilisateur au cours de l'utilisation. Une valeur caractéristique (qui est au moins ternaire et qui est généralement un nombre entier, rationnel ou réel), est créée au moyen d'un comptage ou d'une estimation du nombre et/ou d'une évaluation du type de caractères et/ou d'une combinaison de touches, ou au moyen d'une évaluation permettant de savoir combien de différentes fenêtres, parties de fenêtres et symboles logiques ont été activés. Une fonction programme ou une option lancement pour une fonction programme est alors modifiée si la valeur caractéristique excède ou tombe légèrement au-dessous d'un seuil déterminé. Conformément à l'invention, plusieurs valeurs caractéristiques peuvent être créées. Le nombre de frappes par minute et le nombre de combinaisons de touches différentes utilisées sont des exemples de telles valeurs caractéristiques. Inversement, le procédé permet également un sabotage d'un utilisateur.
