  • Patent number: 10872535
    Abstract: An online learning management system and method for facilitating facial recognition, augmented reality, and virtual reality learning environments for users distributed across a network is disclosed. The system includes a server and one or more clients coupled by a network, each of the one or more clients having a learning environment. In some embodiments, the server receives and detects a network status of each client and dynamically adjusts a synchronization frequency of each associated learning environment. The learning environment may be an augmented reality learning environment having one or more face masks and/or stickers applied to facial features of a user in a video signal, wherein the server synchronizes the augmented reality learning environment among each client. The learning environment may further be a virtual reality learning environment having one or more 3D objects in a 3D scene, wherein the server synchronizes the virtual reality learning environments.

  • Patent number: 10586296
    Abstract: An online learning management system for monitoring and maintaining the operational integrity of online teaching groups consisting of users distributed across a network is disclosed. The system comprises a management interface coupled to a teaching group and a teaching module configured to identify user operational problems within the group and to remove a user when an operational problem is identified. The system further comprises a managing module that inserts the user into a managing area when the user is removed from the teaching group, facilitates diagnosis and correction of the operational problem, and returns the user to the group when the operational problem has been corrected. The system further comprises a personalized operation interface that disables the user's connection to the group in response to the removal of the user from the group, and restores the user's connection when the operational problem has been corrected.
