Chatbot Reply Speed Control via Dynamic Interval Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current chatting application software lacks personification, leading to a lack of authenticity in user interactions, as the automatic reply speed is too fast and easily distinguishable from human responses.
Innovation Solution
An automatic reply method that uses a pre-trained classifier to determine the type of a chat message, sets a reply time based on a preset interval and the number of words, and adjusts the reply interval to simulate the speed of human typing, thereby enhancing the authenticity of chat interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the chatting robot replies automatically at a very fast speed, then the reply efficiency is improved, but the personification and authenticity of the chat is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the reply speed variable rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts the reply interval based on the length of the reply message, using a formula that calculates different time intervals for different message lengths. This dynamic adjustment makes the automated reply system more realistic and person-like, as human typing speed varies with message length.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of reply time interval based on message length. By establishing a relationship between reply message length and reply interval, the system transforms from a fixed-speed automated reply to a variable-speed reply system that simulates human typing patterns, thereby improving authenticity while maintaining efficiency.
2Loss of information
If the reply message is long, then the information completeness is improved, but the reply time increases making it less like human conversation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of reply time interval based on message length. By establishing a relationship between reply message length and reply interval, the system transforms from a fixed-speed automated reply to a variable-speed reply system that simulates human typing patterns, thereby improving authenticity while maintaining efficiency.

AI summary
An automatic reply method is disclosed, including: receiving a message from someone to talk to and determining a time when the messages are received as a starting time; by means of a pre-trained classifier, obtaining a type of the message; setting a reply time according a preset reply interval and the starting time; when the reply time is reached, invoking a reply message corresponding to the type, making a reply to the message from someone therefor. An automatic reply device having the same is further disclosed, with the automatic reply method and device to control automatic reply speed of the chatting application software, closer to the speed of artificial reply, and to improve authenticity of simulating the artificial reply and personification of the chatting application software.
