Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional virtual character models are application-specific and lack adaptability to varying emotional states and user interactions, leading to a lack of personalization and immersive user experiences due to standardized language models not tailored to individual AI characters.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for providing AI character-specific contextual conversational language models, which involve a processor configured to select and generate speech models based on interaction contexts, allowing for dynamic adjustment of virtual character behavior and speech in virtual environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If standardized language models are used for speech generation across various AI characters, then device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability and personalization of virtual characters deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of language model deploymentVSAvoidcharacter-specific personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the language model into multiple specialized speech models, each trained for specific conversation features (e.g., greetings, farewells, emotional responses). Instead of using a single standardized model for all characters, the system divides the language processing task into specialized components that can be selectively applied to different AI characters based on their unique attributes, thereby achieving personalization without requiring completely separate models for each character.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic selection of speech models based on contextual parameters such as emotional state, user actions, and environmental conditions. The system dynamically adjusts which speech model is applied to an AI character during interactions, allowing the same character to exhibit different speech patterns appropriate to various situations. This dynamic adaptability enables personalization while maintaining a manageable set of underlying models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If AI character-specific contextual conversational language models are implemented, then adaptability and personalization are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharacter-specific personalizationVSAvoidlanguage model system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal framework that can handle multiple AI characters with different personalities and contexts using a shared set of speech models. The system includes universal components such as a context determination module and a speech model selection mechanism that work across all characters. This universal architecture reduces the need to create entirely separate model systems for each character, thereby limiting the increase in complexity while still enabling character-specific personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If conventional predefined rules and rigid logic are used for virtual character behavior, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to varying emotional states and user actions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior control system complexityVSAvoidresponse to user interactions
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the context determination module continuously monitors user actions, emotional states, and environmental conditions during interactions. This feedback information is used to dynamically select appropriate speech models and adjust character behavior in real-time. The system learns from and responds to user interactions, enabling adaptability to varying emotional states and user actions while maintaining manageable complexity through structured feedback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods for providing artificial intelligence (AI) character-specific contextual conversational language models are provided. The method may include providing a plurality of speech models for conversation features of an AI character generated by an AI character model in a virtual environment; ascertaining a context of interactions involving the AI character generated by the AI character model in the virtual environment; selecting, based on the context, a speech model from the plurality of speech models; generating an output using the speech model; and inserting the output into a content of the AI character being generated by the AI character model.
