1 - Local Data Processing
1.1 - Edge Computing Architecture
-
Data Acquisition Module: Collects raw signals from sensors in real time.
-
Preprocessing Module: Filters noise, corrects anomalies, and formats data consistently.
-
Local Analysis Module: Runs lightweight algorithms for immediate feedback (e.g., high-stress alerts).
1.2 - Real-Time Analysis Modules
-
Functionality: Provide instant readouts (e.g., detecting a student’s sudden drop in attention).
-
Algorithms: Classify states such as focus, distraction, or stress.
-
User Feedback: Prompt visual or audible alerts for teachers to intervene promptly.
2 - Server-Side Processing
2.1 - Centralized Data Aggregation
- Data Reception: Securely retrieve processed data from local nodes.
- Aggregation: Combine multiple data streams over time to highlight patterns.
- Normalization: Standardize schemas so that metrics from different sensors align for deeper insights.
2.2 - Heavy Computational Tasks
- Advanced Analysis: Use deep learning to build rich merit assessments.
- Model Training: Continuously retrain models with aggregated historical data.
- Resource Allocation: Dynamically scale computing resources for large user populations or extended analytics.
2.3 - Data Synchronization Protocols

- Conflict Resolution: Merge conflicting sensor logs by prioritizing timestamps.
- Bandwidth Optimization: Compress large media files to save network capacity.
3 - Data Storage Solutions
3.1 - Local Storage Schemes
- Temporary Storage: Keep unsynced data locally until successful transmission.
- Encryption: Protect local caches with AES-256.
- Capacity Management: Purge local data after verifying uploads.
3.2 - Centralized Database Design

- Integrity Checks: Regularly verify that backups are complete and uncorrupted.
4 - Handling Incomplete Data
4.1 - Decision Trees for Missing Data
-
If essential data is unavailable, use fallback algorithms or flag insights as uncertain.
-
If supplementary data is missing, proceed with the core streams but highlight exclusions.
4.2 - Adaptive Analysis Techniques
-
Substitutions: Replace missing metrics with correlated ones (e.g., wearable activity to approximate heart rate).
-
Threshold Adjustments: Provide partial analyses or disclaimers whenever critical data is lacking.
-
Machine Learning Imputation: Estimate unknown values using historical patterns.
4.3 - Data Quality Indicators
-
Confidence Levels: Assign reliability scores to summarized insights.
-
User Alerts: Notify learners or educators when incomplete data might affect interpretations.
-
Visual Indicators: Color-coded or icon-based prompts on dashboards to illustrate data quality.
