4.  DESCRIPTION:

Field of the invention:

 

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of an online teaching field, in specific relates to an online teaching system that monitors and assesses students interaction with the online class.

Background of the invention:

 

[0002] Traditionally, teachers use chalk and talk teaching approach, in which the teacher conveys information to students by talking to them and by writing on a blackboard. In the traditionally method of teaching students have to go to school to get the education. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, an unprecedented number of children, youth and adults are not attending schools or universities. Governments in lots of countries have announced or implemented the closure of educational institutions in an attempt to control the spread of the disease.

 [0003] Many educational institutions have opted the online tutoring or online classes to minimize the educational disruption and facilitate the continuity of learning. However, even this way teaching has many issues. Teachers have difficulty in monitoring and interacting with students. Teachers are unable to get accurate information on whether the students are able to understand the classes or not. Students have difficulty in keeping up with online courses, as they lose interest because there is less possibility for interaction between teacher and students.

 [0004] One more issue that the teachers face is, when the student is unable to respond to the question that teacher has asked because of poor internet connection or any other external reasons.

 [0005] An existing system uses a camera above each classroom to monitor the students in the class and analysing their behaviour during class. The camera captures the facial expressions of the students then sends to deep learning server. The deep-learning server uses deep-learning algorithms to identify each student’s face and classify their behaviour

into five categories such as listening, answering the questions, writing, interacting with other students, or sleeping.

 [0006] The data collected by this system on the behaviour of the students is then transmitted to teacher or parent mobiles through a software application. Further, the system also records the students attendance rate when the camera recognizes the students face. However, this system is only suitable as long as the students would go to the school as the camera that analyses students behaviour is fixed above the class rooms.

 [0007] Even though the online classes has minimized the educational disruption and facilitated the continuity of learning. However, the proper class monitoring and proper interactions are the major issues faced by both teachers and students.

 [0008] Therefore, there is a need for a system that allows teacher to monitor whether a student understands a topic during the class based on facial expression of the student. There is a need a system that analysis quick response from the student for the question raised by the teacher. A system is needed that can rate the student’s understanding based on facial expression and quick response from the student.

Objectives of the invention:

 

[0009] The primary objective of the invention is to provide an online teaching system that is capable of scanning student’s facial expression and transmit this data to teacher, indicating whether the student understands a topic during class.

 [0010] The other objective of the invention is to provide a digital pad for real time interaction between teacher and student during class, where student is allowed answers the question raised by teacher.

 [0011] Another objective of the invention is to provide an online teaching system that allows teacher to assign tasks to student and even send important information to parents to their mobile.

[0012] Another objective of the invention is to provide an online teaching system that ranks the students understanding of a topic on the bases of the facial expression of the student and quick response given by student on digital pad.

 [0013] Another objective of the invention is to provide an online teaching system that analysis the facial expression of student using artificial intelligence image algorithm and transmits this data to teacher.

 [0014] Yet another objective of the invention is to provide an online teaching system which allows teacher to unlock digital pad during classes through a maters application.

 [0015] Further objective of the invention is to provide an online learning system based on artificial intelligence that automatically records attendance of the students by scanning their faces.

[0032]             As mentioned, there remains a need for improved seat safety systems for automobiles for toddlers, babies, children or any other such occupants as may be defined in accordance with law of a country. The embodiments herein provide a car seat safety system having two modules, seating module and a cover module. The

5        car seat safety system herein may also be referred to as baby seat, child seat, car

 

seat or toddler seat. The seating module and the cover module may also be referred to as seating and cover portion, seating and cover arrangement, seating and cover system, seating and cover or simply, a seat and a cover.

[0033]         Fig. 1A-1B illustrates an isometric view of seating and cover module, respectively,

 

10        of a car seat safety system, according to an embodiment herein. The car seat safety

 

system includes a seating module 102 and a cover module 106. The seating module 102 is chair or car seat shaped that includes a backrest 110 and a thigh-rest 108. The thigh rest 108 has semi-circular walls, as illustrated in Fig. 1A, to safely receive or place secure the thighs of an occupant. The seating module 102 further includes

15        a head mount 104 attached on the top of the seating module 102. The head mount

 or head rest 104 may be permanently fixed or detachably fixed on to the seating module 102. The seating module can be a single-piece system or be made by assembling backrest 110 and thigh-rest 108 through multiple fastening and securing means to adjust the height of the entire system as per the growth of the child.

[0034]20       The cover module 106includes a front rest 112 and a thigh-cover 114. The cover

 

module is securely placed or fastened or mounted on/in front of the occupant seated in the seating module 102 thus confining the occupant between the cover module 106 and the seating module 102 without any straps or belts tightened against the


 

 

occupant. The thigh-cover 114 is semi-circular such that it complements the semi- circular walls of the thigh-rest 108, and securely and comfortably grips the thighs of the occupant. The front rest 112 is positioned against the breast of the occupant. Thus, a safety seating system, according to an embodiment herein, is able to

5        securely and comfortably place an occupant without use of straps, belts and buckles

 against the body of the occupant, thus saving the occupant from various potential hazards.

[0035]         The head mount 104 prevents the head of the occupant from falling back and provides support to the neck, and thus prevents neck injuries. In a preferred

10        embodiment, the head mount 104 has a number of holes to protect the occupant’s

 ears from echoes inside an automobile.

 [0036]     Fig. 2 illustrates rear isometric view of the seating module 102 of Fig. 1, according to an embodiment herein. The rear of the seating module 102 includes a first handle 208 and a second handle 210 having along space204 and a small space 206.Both

15        the first handle 208 and the second handle 210 consists of a long space 204 and a

 

small space 206. The first handle 208 and second handle 210 are mounted directly on the rear of the backrest 110 of the seating module 102 such that they are spaced apart to allow the seat belt 202 to pass through. The partition of the small space 206 may either be protruded outside the long space 206 or be present inside the long

20        space 204.

 

[0037]      The seating module 102 is securely placed on the automobile seat. The seatbelt 202 is split into two straps 202A and 202B, when the car seat is placed on left hand drive cars the seatbelt is first passed through the longer space 204 of the first handle

208 on the rear of the backrest 110 and then passed through the smaller space 206 in the second handle 210 and on right hand drive cars the seatbelt is first passed through the longer space 204 of the second handle 210 on the rear of the backrest 110 and then passed through the smaller space 206 in the first handle 208.This

5        securely places the seat safety system of the present embodiment in the automobile

 seat. In a preferred embodiment, the first handle 208 and the second handle 210 are included to provide additional and tightened fastening of the seat safety system on the automobile seat.

[0038]        Fig. 3 illustrates the seating module 102and the cover module 106 of the car seat

 

10        safety system assembled with occupant seated, according to an embodiment herein.

 

As described above in Fig. 1, the cover module 106 is securely placed or fastened on to the occupant seated in the seating module 102, and the seating module 102 is securely tied to the automobile seat with the help of the seat belt 202 by guiding the seat belt through the first handle 208 and the second handle 210, as described in

15        Fig. 2. The seating module 102 and the cover module 106 may be locked together

 

via zip locks or clip locks or any other adjustable locking mechanisms. The zip lock may pass through the center of the front region of the seating module 102. The clip lock may be present on the sides of the seating module 102 and the cover module 106.

[0039]20       Fig. 4A -4B illustrates the car seat safety system of Fig. 3 with sensors and sun

 

screen, according to an embodiment herein. The car seat safety system further include a sensor

[0040]             System 402, a sun screen 404, and a sun screen deployment lever 406, fixed on the head mount 104. The sensor system 402 includes a light sensor, a sleep sensor and a communication system. The sleep sensor monitors the sleep of the occupant and if the occupant falls asleep the volume of the music, if being played, in the

5        automobile is automatically reduced. The light sensor detects the sun light or excess

 

lighting to the occupant’s eyes, the sun screen 404 is automatically deployed. Alternatively, the sun screen 404 may be deployed manually by pulling the sun screen deployment lever 406. This working is illustrated in Fig. 5. If the occupant wakes up the, volume control goes back to the music system, and if the light

10        intensity reduced, the sun screen 404 rolls back into the head mount 104.
