Patent number: 11423798Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide user interfaces that are configured to selectively use and present device and system resources in ways that motivate inmate engagement with self-administered courses. One example of this is a user interface that is provided with music enabling capabilities as a reward to motivate course engagement. The user interface presents a segment of course material of one or more self-administered courses and the app determines an engagement score indicating a level of engagement by the inmate with the segment of the course material. The app determines that the inmate qualifies for a music reward based on the engagement score satisfying reward criteria, and accordingly displays, on the user interface, a notification of the music reward and/or enables music on the inmate device, for example, during display of a second segment of the course material.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Confinement Telephony Technology, LLCInventors: Mary Henson Marvin, John Vincent Townsend, Rick Allen Lubbehusen, Johnnie Richard Tayloe, Thomas Edward Dearden

Patent number: 11302206Abstract: Social skills can be taught using a customized interactive model. As part of this model, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individual and an influencer are involved in creating customized content that will later be presented to the individual as part of an interactive game or other learning environment. This customized content includes both visual and audio content of the individual and the influencer and other graphical content selected and/or customized by the individual. One problem faced when teaching individuals is that they do not instantaneously connect noises with sources or relate words they hear with the speaker. By involving the individual in the creation of the customized content, the likelihood that the individual will make such connections can be increased since the individual is more likely to recognize content that he or she created in conjunction with an influencer.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Teaching It Right, LLCInventor: Andrea Facer Johnson
