Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring one or more environmental variables concerning a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user. A disrupter is selected for inclusion within the alertness test based, at least in part, upon the one or more environmental variables concerning the client electronic device. The alertness test is administered to the user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for administering an alertness test on a client electronic device to determine a result for a user, wherein the result is indicative of a level of alertness of the user. Biometric information concerning the user may be received from a biometric device. The result for the user may be adjusted based, at least in part, upon the biometric information.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring one or more environmental variables concerning a user of a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to the user. A disrupter is selected for inclusion within the alertness test based, at least in part, upon the one or more environmental variables concerning the user. The alertness test is administered to the user.

Abstract: A computer access control system includes a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user. A computer access controller is coupled to and configured to be actuated by the client electronic device.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for administering an alertness test on a client electronic device to determine a result for a user, wherein the result is indicative of a level of alertness of the user. A location of the client electronic device is determined, thus defining a determined location. Remedial action is taken if the level of alertness of the user is insufficient for the user to perform a task at the determined location.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for administering a first alertness test to determine a first result for a user, wherein the first result is indicative of a first level of alertness of the user at the time of the first alertness test. At least a second alertness test may be administered to determine at least a second result for the user, wherein the at least a second result is indicative of at least a second level of alertness of the user at the time of the at least a second alertness test. The first result is compared to the at least a second result to identify a level of cognitive decline for the user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for administering an alertness test on a client electronic device to determine a result for a user, wherein the result is indicative of a level of alertness of the user. Circadian information concerning the user is received. The result for the user is adjusted based, at least in part, upon the circadian information.

Abstract: An area access control system includes a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user; and an area access controller, coupled to and configured to be actuated by the client electronic device.

Abstract: An interlock control system includes a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user. An interlock controller is coupled to and configured to be actuated by the client electronic device.

Abstract: A timeclock control system includes a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user. A timeclock controller is coupled to and configured to be actuated by the client electronic device.

Abstract: This invention is a gateway for testing mental function comprising a portable structure that houses one or more mental function testers and an access control device that allows the user to enter a defined area based upon the result of the mental function test. The access control device may either directly control an exit from the gateway or it may dispense a portable indicator of the test results. The gateway may comprise one or more mental function testers that give the same or different tests. The invention also comprises methods of using the gateway, including the steps of assessing a user's mental function and operating the access control device depending upon the assessment. The latter step may comprise permitting the user access to an at-risk activity.

Abstract: A computer is provided along with a method for testing users for alertness and mental fitness. The system and method are usable wherever there is a risk to persons, property, or the environment from individuals not fit to operate machinery or enter an work area safely, or for testing a user for dementia or other neurological impairment. The testing methods resemble computer games, but they actually measure mental fitness and alertness rather than aptitude, ability, or intelligence. The disclosed basic test is general, simple and non-intellectual, and compatible with worldwide, multilingual use. Other tests are more specifically designed to test for the ability to perform certain occupational duties or types of activities. Tests which measure neurological impairment do involve some intellectual functions such as memory. The basic test preferably comprises a plurality of yes or no questions based upon graphical data displayed to the user.

Abstract: A special-purpose computer is provided along with a method for testing users for alertness and mental fitness before beginning work or a potentially dangerous activity. The system and method are usable wherever there is a risk to persons, property, or the environment from individuals not fit to operate machinery or enter an work area safely. The testing methods resemble computer games, but they actually measure mental fitness and alertness rather than aptitude, ability, or intelligence. The disclosed basic test is general, simple and non-intellectual, and compatible with worldwide, multilingual use. Other tests are more specifically designed to test for the ability to perform certain occupational duties or types of activities. The basic test preferably comprises a plurality of yes or no questions based upon graphical data displayed to the user. Each user's answers and performance are preferably maintained in strict confidence through storage only on a removable storage medium, such as a Smart Card.
