Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a classroom management and student engagement assistive system that is capable of providing assistance in the classroom management and student engagement. The system is capable of detecting the facial expressions of the students and teachers for marking the attendance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Classroom management and student engagement assistance are crucial for creating a productive and positive learning environment. Effective classroom management helps maintain order, minimizes disruptions, and ensures that students focus on learning, which is essential for academic success. This sets clear expectations for behavior, fostering respect and cooperation among students. On the other hand, student engagement assistance involves actively involving students in the learning process, making lessons interactive, and addressing individual needs to keep them motivated and interested. When students are engaged, they are more likely to retain information, develop critical thinking skills, and stay invested in their education. Together, these practices enhance both the learning experience and the overall educational outcomes for students.

[0003] Traditional classroom management methods include setting clear rules, maintaining routines, and using rewards and consequences for behavior. Student engagement is typically fostered through direct instruction, lectures, and group activities, with the teacher leading the learning process. These methods rely on structure and teacher-centered approaches to maintain focus and participation. Traditional methods of classroom management and student engagement is rigid, often stifling creativity and student autonomy. They fail to address diverse learning styles, leading to disengagement. Over-reliance on teacher-led instruction can limit critical thinking and collaboration, potentially hindering students' ability to develop independent learning skills.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a classroom management and student engagement assistive system that is capable of providing assistance in the classroom management and student engagement by displaying relevant educational content based on lecture in progress for enhancing the student’s engagement.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a first body in a classroom management and student engagement assistive system is illustrated, comprising first cuboidal bodies 101 each configured to be mounted on a student’s desk, a pair of extendable plate 102 for affixing the first and second bodies 101, 201 with desks, a vertical motorized slider 103 provided on the side portion, plurality of suction units 104 provided on inner portion of the plates 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed on each of the first and second bodies 101, 201, a pair of L-shaped telescopic bars 106 affixed to a top portion of the first bodies 101, a cuboidal frame 107 positioned between the bars 106, a liquid lens 108 is arranged inside the frame 107, a hollow compartment 109 provided at the top portion of the first bodies 101.

[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a flap 110 is provided at the top periphery the compartment 109, a camera 111 mounted inside the compartment 109, a speaker 112 installed on the first and second bodies 101, 201, a microphone 113 embedded with the first and second bodies 101, 201, a touch interactive display panel 114 installed on the first and second bodies 101, 201, a horizontal rod 115 attached to the first bodies 101 and a free-end of the rod 115 is integrated with a motorized roller 116, multiple motorized hinges 117 installed on the roller 116 and integrated with an L-shaped link 118, the first bodies 101 are equipped with an LED light 119, a holographic projection unit 120 is installed on the first bodies 101.

[0024] Referring to Figure 2, an isometric view of a second body in a classroom management student engagement assistive system is illustrated, comprising a second body 201 associated with the system developed to be mounted on a teacher’s desk.

[0025] The system disclosed herein employs plurality of interconnected first cuboidal bodies 101 each configured to be mounted on a student’s desk and a second body 201 associated with the system developed to be mounted on a teacher’s desk, respectively. This first bodies 101 and the second body 201 is typically constructed from material that include but not limited to high-strength materials such as reinforced steel or durable aluminum alloys, which provide a robust and resilient enclosure capable of withstanding physical impacts and environmental stressors.

[0026] For activating the system, the user needs to press a push button which is arranged on the first bodies 101 and the second body 201 which in turn activates all the related components for performing the desired task. After pressing the button, a closed electrical circuit is formed and current starts to flow that powers an inbuilt microcontroller to allow all the linked components to perform their respective task upon actuation.

[0027] A side portion of the first and second bodies 101, 201 is configured with a pair of extendable plate 102 for affixing the first and second bodies 101, 201 with desks. The extendable plate 102, for affixing the first and second bodies 101, 201 to desks, employs a drawer assembly for smooth extension and retraction. This assembly consists of a stationary outer housing fixed to the body and a sliding inner rail attached to the extendable plate 102. When extended, the plate 102 moves outward along the tracks, guided by stops to prevent overextension. Retraction is achieved by spring-loaded assembly that assists in smoothly drawing the plate 102 back into the housing.

[0028] For detecting the thickness of the desk, an ultrasonic sensor is installed on the first and second bodies 101, 201. The ultrasonic sensor operates by emitting high-frequency sound waves from the transmitter and measuring the time taken for the waves to reflect off the desk and return to the receiver. The sensor is installed on both the first and second bodies 101, 201, positioned to send ultrasonic pulses toward the desk’s surface and detect the returning echoes. The sensor calculates the distance between the two bodies based on the time delay between wave emission and reception, using the speed of sound in air as a reference. By measuring distances from both sides of the desk and comparing them, the desk's thickness is determined.

[0029] Based on the detected thickness of the desk, the microcontroller linked with the ultrasonic sensor regulates the actuation of a vertical motorized slider 103 provided on the side portion to translate the plates 102 and maintain an optimum gap between the plates 102 for clasping edge of the desks. The slider 103 installed on the side portion consist of a sliding rail and a motorized slidable member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slidable member is attached to the side portion and sliding rail on both sides to make the plate 102 slide. The slidable member is attached to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner. Hence, maintaining the optimum gap between the plates 102 for clasping the edge of the desks.

[0030] The microcontroller then actuates of plurality of suction units 104 provided on the inner portion of the plates 102 to provide a secure grip, ensuring stability and preventing unintended movement. The suction unit 104 ensures a secure grip on the desk surface. Each suction unit 104 consists of a flexible suction cup and a miniature vacuum pump. When the microcontroller initiates actuation, the vacuum pump generates negative pressure within the suction cup, causing it to adhere firmly to the desk by creating a vacuum seal. Hence, the unintended movement is prevented.

[0031] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 is mounted on each of the first and second bodies 101, 201 and paired with a processor for capturing and processing multiple images of students and teacher. This imaging unit 105 captures the facial features of the students and teacher. The imaging unit 105 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the first and second bodies 101, 201, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit 105 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 105 also comprises of the processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and evaluate the facial features of the students and teacher.

[0032] The microcontroller cross-references the captured facial template with a pre-fed template stored in a database, that is linked with the microcontroller for marking the attendance of both student(s) and teacher(s) present inside the classroom. A pair of L-shaped telescopic bars 106 is affixed to a top portion of the first bodies 101 that is actuated by the microcontroller to extend/ retract to position a cuboidal frame 107 positioned between the bars 106 in front of student(s) with weak eyesight. The telescopic rod extends and retracts by using nested sections that slide within each other, driven by the pneumatic unit. The pneumatic unit for extension and retraction operates using compressed air to drive a piston inside a cylinder. When air is supplied to one side of the piston, it creates pressure that pushes the piston rod outward, causing extension. To retract, air is supplied to the opposite side while the initial chamber is vented, pulling the piston rod back. Hence, positioning the cuboidal frame 107 between the bars 106 in front of student(s) with weak eyesight.

[0033] The imaging unit 105 continuously monitors and analyzes the actions and behavior of all students in real time, and the microcontroller is configured to generate a visual prompt identifying students detected as inattentive or distracted during a lecture. The first bodies 101 are equipped with an LED light 119. The LED light 119 is configured to blink as a visual alert when the teacher turns around to identify inattentive students. When the teacher turns around, the change in direction is detected. This triggers the microcontroller to activate the LED light 119, causing the LED light 119 to blink as a visual alert. The blinking signals to the teacher the presence of inattentive students, prompting corrective action.

[0034] A liquid lens 108 is arranged inside the frame 107 coupled with an integrated potentiometer to apply varying voltage across hydrophobic surface of the lens 108, which in turn alters the curvature of a liquid meniscus at surface of the lens 108, thereby adjusting the focal length of the lens 108 for better visibility. The liquid lens 108 operates by utilizing the principle of changing the curvature of the liquid meniscus to adjust the focal length. The lens 108 consists of a liquid core surrounded by hydrophobic surfaces, typically formed by immiscible liquids. The integrated potentiometer applies varying voltage across the hydrophobic surface, which creates an electric field that influences the contact angle between the liquid and the surface. As the voltage is increased or decreased, the curvature of the liquid meniscus changes, either becoming more convex or concave. This change in curvature alters the focal length of the lens 108, allowing for dynamic focusing.

[0035] For storage of electronic gadget’s accessed by the students, a hollow compartment 109 is provided at the top portion of the first bodies 101. The compartment 109 is preferably made up of but not limited to stainless steel or aluminum which provides stability and resistance to corrosion. A flap 110 is provided at the top periphery the compartment 109, which operates using a drawer arrangement to open and close top periphery of the compartment 109. The drawer arrangement works in the similar manner as the drawer assembly mentioned above. The flap 110 is provided to refrain the student(s) from using electronic gadgets until a lecture is over.

[0036] A camera 111 is mounted inside the compartment 109 to capture multiple images of the inner surroundings of the compartment 109 and synced with an optical character recognition (OCR) module integrated into the compartment 109 for detecting incoming calls, text messages, and notifications indicative of emergencies. The camera 111 continuously captures multiple images of the inner surroundings at regular intervals. These images are then processed by an integrated optical character recognition (OCR) module, which analyzes text-based content within the captured images. The OCR module scans for specific keywords, phrases, or notification formats that indicate emergencies, such as urgent calls, text messages, or critical alerts. Once detected, the OCR module extracts and interprets the relevant text, triggering predefined actions such as alerting the user.

[0037] The incoming messages generates an audible alert via a speaker 112. The speaker 112 is positioned on the first and second bodies 101, 201, informing the corresponding student along with the teacher and allowing to retrieve their gadget. The speaker 112 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker 112 consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, a varying magnetic field is generated by the coil that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. The movement of the diaphragm pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to notify the corresponding student along with the teacher and allowing to retrieve their gadget.

[0038] A microphone 113 is embedded with the first and second bodies 101, 201 to record and analyze both teacher’s and students’ speech in real-time. The microphone 113 functions through advanced audio capture and signal processing to record and analyze speech in real-time. The microphone 113 uses a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) microphone 113 that detects sound waves, converting them into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by the microcontroller, which filters out background noise and enhances the clarity of speech. Once the speech is captured, it is converted into digital data, which is analyzed for various purposes, such as triggering specific actions, transcribing speech into text, or providing feedback on the interaction. This enables the dynamic response to the ongoing lecture, making the learning experience more interactive and personalized.

[0039] The microcontroller employs machine learning protocols to summarize recorded lectures into a concise, structured format, that is stored in the database, making it easily accessible to students for review when needed via a user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit accessed by the students. The user interface inbuilt in the computing unit works by utilizing the microcontroller through a communication module. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing devices to exchange information over short or long distances.

[0040] A touch interactive display panel 114 is mounted on the first and second bodies 101, 201, configured to receive responses during discussions, quizzes, and interactive sessions, capturing data on engagement levels and answer accuracy. The display panel 114 operates by receiving processed data from the microcontroller, which analyzes input from the sensing module. This data is converted into a digital format and transmitted to the display via an integrated driver circuit. The panel, typically an LCD or LED screen, uses pixels controlled by electrical signals to visually represent the responses during discussions, quizzes, and interactive sessions, capturing data on engagement levels and answer accuracy.

[0041] The microcontroller identifies difficulties in grasping specific concepts by analyzing response patterns of students, suggesting individual guidance for affected students, along with advising the teacher to elaborate lesson with more detailed explanations or alternative teaching strategies. The imaging unit 105 is configured to detect signs of reading difficulty by analyzing students’ visual cues, including eye tracking patterns, head movements, and expressions of confusion or lack of focus, classifying as affecting either a small group of students or entire class. For minority issues the microcontroller sends individualized prompts to the affected student’s, instructing them to move to the front rows for better visibility, and for majority issues, the microcontroller sends a notification to the teacher, advising to increase handwriting size on the blackboard for improved readability.

[0042] A horizontal rod 115 is attached to the first bodies 101 via a motorized ball-and-socket joint and a free-end of the rod 115 is integrated with a motorized roller 116. The motorized ball and socket joint enables precise rotational movement in multiple directions by integrating an electric motor. The ball, typically attached to a shaft, fits into the socket, allowing it to rotate freely around several axes. The motor is responsible for rotating the ball within the socket, providing controlled movement along different planes. The microcontroller cross-references the current page displayed in a student’s book with teacher’s verbal instructions to identify specific page number students are required to open, in accordance to which the microcontroller regulates actuation of multiple motorized hinges 117 installed on the roller 116 and integrated with an L-shaped link 118, designed to slide between pages and tilt slightly upward to flip the incorrect page over to the correct one.

[0043] The microcontroller is designed to identify low-volume conversations or whispers among students, indicating potential doubts or need for clarification. The microcontroller alerts the teacher via visual and audio cues when such student interactions are detected, suggesting the teacher to address unresolved questions or confusion. The microcontroller generates an engagement score for each student in real time, reflecting their level of focus and participation during lessons, the microcontroller is synchronized with the database, fetching each student’s academic grades for every subject to determine their knowledge level, and an alert is generated on computing unit accessed by student, concerned authority, and student’s guardian when a low engagement score correlates with a low knowledge level in a specific subject.

[0044] A proximity sensor is integrated with the imaging unit 105 to detect presence of individuals in close proximity. In accordance to the detected individual the microcontroller adjusts extension/ retraction of the plates 102 and adjust system positioning accordingly. The proximity sensor integrated with the imaging unit 105 uses either infrared (IR) to detect the presence of individuals nearby. When a person approaches, the sensor emits a signal (e.g., infrared light) and measures the reflection or change in the signal's characteristics as it interacts with objects in the vicinity. The sensor continuously monitors the detected signal’s strength or time-of-flight, allowing it to determine the proximity and position of an individual in real-time. This data is then sent to the microcontroller, which processes the information and triggers the appropriate response. Based on the sensor's input, the microcontroller adjusts the system's components, such as extending or retracting the plates 102 or repositioning the projection unit 120, to align the system optimally for the detected individual.

[0045] A holographic projection unit 120 is installed on the first bodies 101 for projecting digital handbooks onto desk’s surface. This displays the relevant educational content dynamically based on lecture in progress. The holographic projection unit 120 uses a high-resolution micro-projector that emits light through a series of lenses and mirrors, forming a holographic image. This is equipped with motion sensors and cameras that track the position of the lecturer, recognizing gestures and voice commands to dynamically adjust the displayed content based on the ongoing lecture. The content is retrieved from a centralized database processed by an integrated computer, and then projected in real-time as a 3D hologram. The holographic projection adapts to the teaching pace, allowing for real-time updates and interactive elements, such as zooming in on diagrams or rotating 3D models.

[0046] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the plurality of interconnected first cuboidal bodies 101 as disclosed in the invention, are each configured to be mounted on the student’s desk and the second body 201 associated with the system developed to be mounted on the teacher’s desk, respectively. The side portion of the first and second bodies 101, 201 is configured with the pair of extendable plate 102 for affixing the first and second bodies 101, 201 with desks. The ultrasonic sensor to detect thickness of the desk. The vertical motorized slider 103 to translate the plates 102 and maintain the optimum gap between the plates 102 for clasping edge of the desks. The plurality of suction units 104 to provide the secure grip, ensuring stability and preventing unintended movement. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 for capturing and processing multiple images of students and teacher, to capture facial features of the students and teacher. The microcontroller cross-references the captured facial template with the pre-fed template stored in the database linked with the microcontroller for marking attendance of both student(s) and teacher(s) present inside classroom.
