Patent number: 11871109Abstract: A processing device causes a selection of a multimedia module to be detected. The processing device renders, during a first mode of operation, a dynamic navigation flow control in association with first multimedia content of the multimedia module, wherein the rendered dynamic navigation flow control indicates a first navigation position. The processing device stores a first result to memory obtained by execution of an interactive event during the first mode of operation. Based at least on the first result, a second mode of operation is entered. During the second mode of operation, the dynamic navigation flow control is re-rendered in association with second multimedia content of the multimedia module, wherein the re-rendered dynamic navigation flow control indicates a second navigation position.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Breakthrough PerformanceTech, LLCInventors: John DiGiantomasso, Martin L. Cohen

Patent number: 11769419Abstract: Learning content management systems and processes are described that enable a user to independently define or select learning content, frameworks, styles, and/or protocols. The frameworks may be configured to specify a flow or an order of presentation to a learner with respect to a learning content presentation. The style definition may define an appearance of learning content. At least partly in response to a publishing instruction, the received learning content and the received framework definition are merged and then rendered in accordance with the defined style. The rendered merged learning content and framework definition are packaged in accordance with the defined/selected protocol to provide a published learning document.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Breakthrough PerformanceTech, LLCInventors: John DiGiantomasso, Martin L.

Patent number: 10152897Abstract: The present invention is directed to interactive training, and in particular, to methods and systems for computerized interactive skill training. An example embodiment provides a method and system for providing skill training using a computerized system. The computerized system receives a selection of a first training subject. A training challenge related to the first training subject is accessed from computer readable memory. The training challenge is provided to a user via a terminal, optionally in verbal form. A first score related to the correctness and/or completeness of a verbalized challenge response provided by the user is stored in memory. A second score related to how quickly the trainee provided the verbalized challenge response is stored in memory. A third challenge score related to the confidence and/or style with which the trainee verbalized the challenge response is stored in memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Breakthrough PerformanceTech, LLCInventors: Martin L.
