AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect that this technology allows robots to interact with humans more actively compared to just giving them an answer through their own senses like eyesight. It also optimizes how they communicate based on what people are saying about themselves while still being able to see things around us clearly enough.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem addressed in this patents relates to improving conversational communication over virtual characters like drones or robotic agents while also enabling them to interact more naturally based on their own culture. Current solutions have limitations due to lacked cultural reference and cannot effectively adapt to changing environments without relying solely upon external sources like spoken words or narrative descriptions.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] "Dialogue" consists of pre-made sentences. A dialogue is a collection of predefined sentences, including responses to questions. Anticipated responses to multiple questions constitute a dialogue.

[0028] A "dialogue mode" includes one or more modifying operations that affect the substance ("dialogue format" or "dialogue content") and form ("voice skin" or "voice rendering") of a planned sentence. In other words, "conversational modes" are associated with substantive aspects (eg, the actual content or information conveyed by a message) and with formal aspects (eg, the expressiveness or emotion or timbre of the language spoken). Dialogue Mode can be implemented in the form of a downloadable software program that includes instructions that, when executed on an appropriate robotic device, cause the robotic device to perform specific physical actions, including the execution of the programmed Dialogue Mode (dialogue content and and / or voice skins). Software programs can ...

Abstract

There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of handling an audio dialog between a robot and a human user, the method comprising: during said audio dialog, receiving audio data and converting said audio data into text data; in response to the verification of one or more dialog mode execution rules of said text data, selecting a modified dialog mode; wherein a dialog mode comprises one or more dialog contents and one or more dialog voice skins; wherein a dialog content comprises a collection of predefined sentences, said collection comprising question sentences and answer sentences; and wherein a dialog voice skin comprises voice rendering parameters comprising frequency, tone, velocity and pitch. Described developments comprise modifying dialog contents and/or dialog voice skin, using dialog execution rules (for example depending on the environment perceived by the robot) and moderating dialog contents.
