TRAINING PLATFORM FOR TRAINING A USER ON AN APPLICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096233 titled 'TRAINING PLATFORM FOR TRAINING A USER ON AN APPLICATION

Simplified Explanation

The invention provides a method, computer program product, and computer system for a training platform for training a user on an application. The method involves providing training content to a training platform interface at a user's browser, giving access to an application instance for user interaction, hosting a session of the application instance for the duration of a training session, determining training content and an application from user input, and selecting an application instance based on defined selection factors.

  • Training platform for user application training:
 - Provides training content to user's browser
 - Allows user interaction with an application instance
 - Hosts application session for training purposes
 - Selects application instance based on defined factors
    • Potential Applications:**

This technology could be applied in various industries such as software development, customer service training, and educational platforms to provide interactive training sessions for users on specific applications.

    • Problems Solved:**

This technology solves the problem of providing effective and interactive training sessions for users on applications, ensuring that they understand how to interact with the software efficiently.

    • Benefits:**

- Enhances user understanding of applications - Provides hands-on training experience - Increases user proficiency in using software

    • Potential Commercial Applications:**

- Software training companies - Educational institutions - Corporate training programs

    • Possible Prior Art:**

One possible prior art could be online training platforms that offer interactive tutorials and simulations for users to learn how to use different software applications effectively.

      1. Unanswered Questions:
        1. How does the method determine the selection factors for choosing an application instance?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how the defined selection factors are determined for selecting an application instance. Further information on the criteria used for this selection process would be helpful.

        1. What type of user input is required to determine the training content and application?

The abstract mentions user input being used to determine the training content and application, but it does not specify the nature of this input. Understanding the specific user actions or information needed for this process would provide more clarity on the functionality of the invention.


Original Abstract Submitted

the invention provides for a method, computer program product, and computer system for a training platform for training a user on an application. the method provides training content to a training platform interface at a user browser, wherein the training content includes instructions for a user on interaction with an application and provides access to an application instance at the training platform interface for user interaction with the application instance. the method further provides a session of an application instance hosted by an application node for the duration of a training session. the method may further determine a training content and an application from user input received at the user browser and broadcasting a message to find a free application instance of the application. the method may further select an application instance from one or more responses from application nodes based on defined selection factors.
