Embodiment Construction

[0029] The terms "dialogue", "dialogue engine", "dialogue mode", "dialogue topic", "dialogue content", "dialogue sound skin" are defined below.

[0030] "Dialogue" specifies a global audio interaction with one or more users. A "conversation" consists of prepared statements and the rules for expressing and managing those prepared statements. A "dialogue" is mediated by a "dialogue engine", which corresponds to logical management rules and statements. In more detail, a "dialogue" may correspond to a plurality of "dialogue modes" (which correspond to the results of different combinations of sentences expressed with a particular audio presentation, for example statement A expressed in pitch 1 and pitch 1, 2 for statement A, statement B for speed 3, etc.). a) A "Dialogue" consists of a "Dialogue Topic". A "dialogue topic" is a dynamic library comprising a) data and b) programs. The data includes "dialogue content" (ie, substance, such as a collection of predefined sentences) an...

Abstract

There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of handling an audio dialog between a robot and a human user. The method includes: during the audio dialog, receiving audio data and converting the audio data into text data; in response to the text data, determining a dialog topic, the dialog topic comprising a dialog content and a dialog voice skin, and the dialog content comprising a plurality of sentences; determining a sentence to be rendered in audio by the robot; and receiving a modification request of the determined dialog sentence. Described developments for example comprise different regulation schemes (e.g. open-loop or closed-loop), the use of moderation rules (centralized or distributed) and the use of priority levels and / or parameters depending on the environment perceived by the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of digital data processing, and more particularly to speech synthesis and the processing of interactive dialogs, especially in the specific context of dialogs between robots and human users. Background technique [0002] Companion robots can advantageously establish emotional relationships with humans. The dynamic adaptation of dialogue can realize rich interaction. [0003] Existing systems for speech or sound synthesis are mostly passive and consistent: apart from a few options such as human or female voice selection, speech generation engines are fairly neutral in tone. More importantly, the feedback provided lacks cultural reference. The purpose of an industrial or mass market voice response system is precisely to provide a universally accepted response that is understood as widely as possible. This means avoiding any contextual and not to mention cultural references. Voice commands are usually limited...
