Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital humans lack the ability to predict user questions and adapt responses based on real-time sentiment analysis, leading to reduced engagement and ineffective communication dynamics in remote interactions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing sentiment-based adaptation techniques using audio and video sensor data to determine user sentiment, employing machine learning algorithms and computer vision to generate responsive digital human interactions that adjust tone and content based on user emotions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If digital humans use standard response generation without sentiment analysis, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and communication effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the response generation process into distinct modules: sentiment analysis module that processes user input to determine emotional state, language model module that generates base responses, and adaptation module that modifies responses based on sentiment. This segmentation allows each module to specialize while maintaining overall system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces sentiment analysis as an intermediary component between user input and response generation. This intermediary processes the user's emotional state and translates it into adaptation parameters that guide the language model, enabling nuanced response customization without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If digital humans implement real-time sentiment analysis, then user engagement improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveengagement effectivenessVSAvoidresponse delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary sentiment analysis on user input before generating the response. By analyzing the sentiment upfront and determining adaptation parameters in advance, the system prepares customization guidelines that streamline the subsequent response generation process, reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial sentiment analysis by focusing on key sentiment indicators rather than comprehensive emotional profiling. This selective approach extracts only the most relevant sentiment dimensions needed for response adaptation, reducing computational overhead while maintaining engagement effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If digital humans apply multiple sentiment tags to responses, then communication effectiveness improves, but response generation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication effectivenessVSAvoidresponse generation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different sentiment tags to different portions of the response rather than uniformly to the entire response. This local quality approach allows specific segments of the response to be customized for particular emotional effects, improving communication effectiveness while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses sentiment tags as adjustable parameters that modify response characteristics. By representing emotional adaptations as discrete parameter changes rather than complex generative processes, the system maintains reliability through systematic parameter control while keeping the generation mechanism relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Techniques are provided for sentiment-based adaptation of digital human responses. One method comprises determining a sentiment of a user by analyzing a vocal sentiment, a text sentiment and/or a facial sentiment of the user; applying the determined sentiment of the user to a language model that determines a sentiment-tagged response to an input of the user based on the determined sentiment, wherein the sentiment-tagged response comprises a predicted sentiment label identifying a sentiment to be employed by a digital human when delivering the sentiment-tagged response to the user; and providing the sentiment-tagged response to the digital human for delivery to the user, wherein the digital human transforms at least a portion of the sentiment-tagged response into a spoken format using the predicted sentiment label and a text-to-speech model. A vocal tone, a facial expression and/or a body positioning of the digital human may be adjusted based on the determined sentiment.
