Adaptive problem solving method and system

Claim 1

A processing method for use in a computerized learning machine including an information processing device, a storage device, an output device and an input device, the processing method comprising the steps of: a) retrieving from the storage device a first problem, the problem having a plurality of questions, each question having a concept and a plurality of answers; b) outputting to the output device the problem; c) outputting to the output device a question and the associated possible answers; d) receiving from the input device an answer selection; e) assigning a fuzzy logic coefficient to the answer, the fuzzy logic coefficient being related to the correctness of the answer; f) if the fuzzy logic coefficient does not indicate a fully correct answer, outputting to the output device the other possible answers; g) receiving from the input device an answer selection; h) averaging the fuzzy logic coefficients of the answers; i) repeating steps c) to h) for the remaining questions; j) for each question, accessing from the storage device a learning route authority to determine the identity of at least one further problem, the determination being dependent on the average fuzzy logic coefficient and concept associated with the question; k) repeating steps a) to j) for each problem determined in step j).
