Patent number: 11381486Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for electronically conditioning transmission of communications based on results of a connection assessment. An electronic file is executed at an electronic device, which causes a first query and a second query to be presented. A first query response and a second query response are identified. The first query response is stored in a locked configuration that inhibits the ability to modify the first query response to the first query. The second query response is stored but is not stored in the locked configuration. Query response data is generated that includes an identifier of the second query, an identifier of the second query response and an identifier of the electronic device. A connection variable is determined by assessing one or more network connections available to the electronic device. When a transmission condition is satisfied, the query response data is transmitted to another device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Brendan Kealey, Paul Arens, Adam Krapfl, Paul Grudnitski, Robbie Allen Nielsen, James Setaro, Jason Sobanski

Patent number: 10764167Abstract: A system includes a query response engine that identifies first and second query responses. The engine stores the first query response in a locked configuration and the second query response in a configuration that enables the stored second query response to be modified. The query engine generates query response data associated with the first query response or the second query response. The system includes a connection assessor that determines a connection variable by assessing a network connection and determines whether a transmission condition is satisfied based on the connection variable. The system includes a query response transmitter that, when it is determined that the transmission condition is satisfied, transmits the query response data from the query response transmitter of the system to another device.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Brendan Jared Kealey, Paul Joseph Arens, Adam Walter Krapfl, Paul Christopher Grudnitski, Robbie Allen Nielsen, James Tavis Setaro, Jason Sobanski

Patent number: 9105194Abstract: Embodiments relate to electronic administration of an academic examination. Execution of an exam file on a student device causes exam questions to be presented. Input from students is translated into responses. Response data identifying one or more responses and a student identifier may be transmitted from the student user device to another device during an exam period or at the end of the exam period. However, the transmission may be explicitly or functionally conditioned by network connection strength, network availability and so forth. When the condition is not satisfied or when a transmission fails, response data is locally and securely cached at the student user device. The response(s) is immediately locked or locked at the end of an examination period, such that a student user can no longer modify the response(s). The student user device subsequently transmits the response data (e.g., when the transmission condition is satisfied).Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Pearson Education, Inc.Inventors: Brendan Jared Kealey, Paul Joseph Arens, Adam Walter Krapfl, Paul Christopher Grudnitski, Robbie Allen Nielsen, James Tavis Setaro
