Abstract:
An educational institution (also referred as a university) is structurally modeled using a university model graph. A key benefit of modeling of the educational institution is to help in an introspective analysis by the educational institute. In order to build an effective university model graph, it is required to gather and analyze the various activities performed on the university campus by the various entities of the university. A system and method for automated activity gathering that involves instrumented components, sub-systems, and networks is discussed. Specifically, the presented system allows for reliable identification of activities performed by a student of the university based on inputs received from multiple sources associated with the instrumented components, sub-systems, and networks.

       FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    The present invention relates to the analysis of the information about a university in general, and more particularly, the analysis of the activities of the university associated with structural representations. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for automatic gathering of activities associated with the university. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0008]    An Educational Institution (EI) (also referred as University) comprises of a variety of entities: students, faculty members, departments, divisions, labs, libraries, special interest groups, etc. University portals provide information about the universities and act as a window to the external world. A typical portal of a university provides information related to (a) Goals, Objectives, Historical Information, and Significant Milestones, of the university; (b) Profile of the Labs, Departments, and Divisions; (c) Profile of the Faculty Members; (d) Significant Achievements; (e) Admission Procedures; (f) Information for Students; (g) Library; (h) On- and Off-Campus Facilities; (i) Research; (j) External Collaborations; (k) Information for Collaborators; (l) News and Events; (m) Alumni; and (n) 
         [0009]    Information Resources. The educational institutions are positioned in a very competitive environment and it is a constant endeavor of the management of the educational institution to ensure to be ahead of the competition. This calls for a critical analysis of the overall functioning of the university and help suggest improvements so as enhance the overall strength aspects and overcome the weaknesses. Consider a typical scenario of assessing of a student of the Educational Institution. In order to achieve a holistic assessment, it is required to assess the student not only based on the curricular activities but also those other but related activities. This requires the gathering of the activities of the student and to use them appropriately in the holistic assessment process.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0092]      FIG. 1  provides a typical assessment of a university. An Educational Institution (EI) or alternatively, a university, is a complex and dynamic system with multiple entities and each interacting with multiple of other entities. The overall characterization of the EI is based on a graph that depicts these multi-entities multiple relationships. An important utility of such a characterization is to assess the state and status of the EI. What it means is that, in the context of the EI, it is helpful if every of the entities of the EI can be assessed. Assessment of the EI as a whole and the constituents at an appropriate level gives an opportunity to answer the questions such as “How am I?” and “Why am I?”. That is, the assessment of each of the entities and an explanation of the same can be provided. Consider a STUDENT entity: This is one of the important entities of the EI and in any EI there are several instances of this entity that are associated with the students of the EI. The assessment can be at 
         [0093]    STUDENT level or at  51  (a particular student) level.  100  depicts the so-called “Universal Outlook of a University” and a system that provides such a universal outlook is capable of addressing “How am I?” ( 110 ) and “Why am I?” ( 120 ) queries. The FACULTY MEMBER entity ( 130 ) characterizes the set of all faculty members of FM 1 , FM 2 , . . . , FMn ( 140 ) of the EI. The holistic assessment ( 150 ) helps answer How and Why at university level. Observe that there are two distinct kinds of entities: One class of entities is at the so-called “Element” level ( 155 )—this means that this kind of entities is at the atomic level as for as the university domain is concerned. On the other hand, there is a second class of entities at the so-called “Component” level ( 160 ) that accounts for remaining entities of the university domain all the way up to the University level. It is essential to gather the various activities of a student on the university campus in order to achieve a holistic assessment of STUDENT entity. 
         [0094]      FIG. 1A  depicts a partial list of entities of a university. Note that a deep domain analysis would uncover several more entities and also their relationship with the other entities ( 180 ). For example, RESEARCH STUDENT is a STUDENT who is a part of a DEPARTMENT and works with a FACULTY MEMBER in a LABORATORY using some EQUIPMENT, the DEPARTMENT LIBRARY, and the LIBRARY. 
         [0095]      FIG. 2  provides a typical list of student-related processes. This list is arrived based on the deep domain analysis of a university and is from the point of view of STUDENT entity. Specifically, this list categorizes the various activities performed by a typical student within a university. Note that the holistic analysis of a student involves how these activities are performed by the student: for example, a typical behavior of the student in a classroom provides for certain characteristics of the student from the assessment point of view; similarly is the case of the student making a presentation. 
         [0096]      FIG. 3  provides network architecture of Atiha (also referred as “Ariel”) Grok system. Atiha Grok System ( 300 ) is connected through the University IP network ( 302 ) to the Atiha System ( 304 ) and the University Information System ( 306 ). While the main objective of the Atiha Grok System is to gather the various activities of students upon their enrollment at the university, the Atiha System is uses this to provide a holistic assessment of the students in particular and the university in general. The University Information System is an agglomeration of the various sub-systems to process the various information sources of the university. The Atiha Grok System gathers activities happening within the university in various locations such as Auditorium ( 310 ), Conference-room ( 312 ), Library ( 314 ), Study-room ( 316 ), Lab ( 318 ), Department ( 320 ), Faculty-room ( 322 ), Classroom ( 324 ), Sports-Field ( 326 ), and Cafeteria ( 328 ). One of the important components of the Atiha Grok System is Any Tablet Phone (ATP) ( 340 ). ATP assists in gathering quite a few activities of a student ( 342 ) that include interactions with the tablet using a stylus ( 344 ) using typically a wireless link ( 346 ). The ATP is equipped with a microphone ( 348 ), speaker ( 350 ), camera ( 352 ), RFID tag, RFID reader ( 354 ), and Bluetooth connectivity ( 356 ). The ATP is in one of the three modes at any point in time: C (Curricular) mode indicates that the activities of a student are curricular activities; similarly, CC (Co-curricular) mode indicates that the activities are co-curricular activities, and finally, EC (Extra-curricular) mode indicates that the activities are extra-curricular in nature. The ATP along with support sub-systems forms the ATP System ( 360 ). 
         [0097]      FIG. 3A  provides a list of typical active components of the Atiha Grok System ( 370 ) that includes Any Tablet Phone (ATP) with its accessories, Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) reader, Camera (roof-mounted), Special Bands (wearable devices), and RFID tags. 
         [0098]      FIG. 3B  provides a list of support information systems ( 375 ): (a) University Voice Sub-System (uVS); (b) University Email Sub-System (uES); (c) University Messaging Sub-System (uMS); (d) University Chat Sub-System (uCS); (e) University Blog Sub-System (uBS); (f) University Collaboration Sub-System (uGS); (g) University Department Sub-System (uDS); (h) University Library Sub-System (uLS); (i) University Lab Sub-System (uRS); (j) University Sports Sub-System (uSS); (k) University Cultural Sub-System (uAS); and (l) University Social Sub-System (uPS). 
         [0099]      FIG. 3C  provides a list of typical student locations ( 380 ): (a) Auditorium; (b) Cafeteria; (c) Classroom; (d) Conference-room; (e) Department; (f) Faculty-room; (g) Lab; (h) Library; (i) Social-activity-location; (j) Sports-field; and (k) Study-room. 
         [0100]      FIG. 4  provides an overview of Any Tablet Phone (ATP) System. The ATP System ( 400 ) is a part of the Atiha Grok System and is realized on a tablet in order for the same to be personalized with respect to any particular student. Specifically, each student of a university being assessed for holistic Atiha assessment is provided with an ATP and is typically personalized with respect to that student: there are various forms of personalization including student specific training for speech/voice activity detection, training for facial expression and gestures, and training for handwritten character recognition. 
         [0101]    Student Voice Capture and Processing Sub-system ( 402 ) is a personalized voice/speech processing subsystem that captures and detects voice activity; On detecting voice activity, the sub-system generates a trigger &lt;ATP, V, TV01&gt;/&lt;ATP, V, TV02&gt; and sends the same to the ATP Grok System. Here, TV01 is trigger related to SELF while TV02 is related to the voice activity due to others. On capturing of voice data, the sub-system preprocesses and analyzes the voice data to extract keywords and sends a trigger &lt;ATP, V, TV03&gt;. The Sub-system analyzes the emotions in the captured voice data to generate a trigger &lt;ATP, V, TV04&gt; with emotion indicators. Similarly, the made/received voice calls are analyzed to generate the triggers: &lt;ATP, P, TV01&gt; and &lt;ATP, P, TV02&gt;. 
         [0102]    Student Image Capture and Processing Sub-System ( 404 ) analyzes the image of the student captured by the ATP camera and generates appropriate triggers. In particular, the trigger &lt;ATP, I, TV01&gt; is related to raw face image data while the trigger &lt;ATP, I, TV02&gt; is related to the identified facial expressions denoted by gesture indicators. 
         [0103]    Student Script Capture and Processing Sub-System ( 406 ) analyzes the handwritten text of the student and generates appropriate triggers.

         [0134]    An important sub-system of Atiha Grok System is Event Determining Sub-System ( 484 ). This sub-system receives the triggers from the various on-campus devices and the ATP System ( 488 ). These received triggers are processed to generate events: while some of the triggers are processed within the ATP System before sending to the server (Atiha Grok System), the other triggers processed within the server using the sub-systems such as Voice Processing Sub-System and Image Processing Sub-System. Activity Identification Sub-System ( 486 ) identifies the university-related activities performed by the Students based on the generated events. Finally, the Atiha System ( 490 ) uses these identified activities in the holistic assessment of the students. 
         [0135]      FIG. 5  provides a list of activities related to student processes. A process denotes a certain portions of the activities and interactions of a student either explicitly or implicitly ( 500 ).

         [0320]      FIG. 10  provides the detection of possible activities based on events. Activity detection is based on the events that are in turn based on the generated triggers. 
         [0321]    The main steps are as follows. 
         [0322]    Step 1: Triggers are generated by the ATP System, Cameras, RFID Readers, Access Control Systems, Special Bands, and various Support Information Systems (University Sub-Systems). A trigger is the information generated upon sensing of the University environment. 
         [0323]    Step 2: These triggers are sent to the server (Atiha Grok System). 
         [0324]    Step 3: The server analyzes the triggers to map them to events. 
         [0325]    Step 4: Finally, the events are used to identify the university related student activities on the University campus. 
         [0326]    Note that the above analysis is performed with respect to each student as triggers and events are student-specific. In a particular embodiment, this is undertaken at the end of each day as part of the end-of-day processing. 
         [0327]    For each Student ID (SID) ( 1000 ), the following are performed to identify the activities of the students. 
         [0328]    Obtain Event &lt;ATP,M,TV01&gt; and/or Event &lt;ATP,C,TV01&gt; ( 1002 ). Note that these events need to be correlated based on the TS and wherever appropriate, LS. Extract Meeting Request, and extract other participants&#39; information from the obtained event(s) ( 1002 A). Also, get Location and Mode of the ATP System. Note that the ATP System is the one that is associated with Student under processing. Here, the location is the location of the ATP System at the time of trigger. Get Location from ATP based on TS and if possible, verify ( 1002 B). Identify and store the identified activity A01 information. Note that ATP system continuously tracks the location information and updates. In a particular embodiment, the ATP System interacts with the fixed infrastructure using a low-range wireless communication and sets its location based on the location information stored in the fixed infrastructure. 
         [0329]    Obtain Event &lt;ACC,S,TV01&gt;, Event &lt;ATP,I,TV01&gt;, Event &lt;CAM,I,TV02&gt;, and/or Event &lt;ATP,F,TV01&gt; ( 1004 ).
