US Patent 12079423 Rapidly capturing user input

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for rapidly capturing user input. Some embodiments of the present disclosure may rapidly capture user input for psychometric analysis applications. For example, a Likert scale may be used to capture the intensity of feelings of a respondent for a given item or question, and therefore can be applied to multiple domains including psychology and social sciences, business and marketing, etc. According to techniques described herein, a visual display screen may prompt respondent input (e.g., via an input prompt, question, statement, etc.). A touch-sensitive input area of the visual display screen may capture respondent input. The touch-sensitive input area may include an input bar and an input position (e.g., a slider). A respondent may control the input position along the input bar (e.g., using a finger), such that the input capture system may efficiently capture, determine, and record the input.
