Problems solved by technology

However, BML-controlled embodied conversational agents in the prior art are not autonomous agents and do not have internal states that can conflict with markup-expressive behavior

Embodiment Construction

[0006] The marker system includes a rule processor and a set of rules for applying markers to enhance communication of communicative intent by embodied agents. Markers applied to communicative utterances apply behavioral modifiers and / or elegant trade-offs to communicative utterances.

[0007] figure 1 A system for controlling the expression of communicative utterances by embodied agents is shown. A representation of the communicative intent, which may be a representation of the communicative utterance 18 , is received by the rules processor 12 . The rule processor 12 applies behavioral modifiers and / or subtexts to generate tokens of communicative utterances corresponding to communicative intent. The communicative utterance is received by the embodied agent 6 which can use the TTS system to transmit the communicative utterance, applying any behavioral modifiers. A communicative utterance is broadly defined as a unit (or combination thereof) comprising communicative means, s...

Abstract

A Markup System includes a Rule Processor, and a set of Rules for applying Markup to augment the communication of a Communicative Intent by an Embodied Agent. Markup applied to a Communicative Utterance applies Behavior Modifiers and / or Elegant Variations to the Communicative Utterances.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to real-time animation of embodied agents, such as virtual characters, digital entities, and / or robots. More particularly, but not exclusively, embodiments of the invention relate to automatically applying markup and / or transliteration to representations of utterances to dynamically animate embodied agents. Background technique [0002] Behavior Markup Language or BML is an XML-based description language used to control the verbal and non-verbal behavior of "embodied conversational agents". US9205557B2 discloses a method for generating contextual behavior of a mobile robot. Provides a module for automatically inserting command labels before keywords. Automatic on-the-fly enhancement and / or modification of communicative utterances by embodied autonomous agents remains an unsolved problem. Furthermore, animating embodied agents in a practical and non-repetitive manner remains an open problem. US9812151B1 discloses ...
