Patents by Inventor Mary Jo Marggraff

Mary Jo Marggraff has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10915814
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for time-sharing interactions using a shared artificial intelligence personality (AIP) incorporated within multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). An AIP is an understanding construct that may control a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. An AIP may be instantiated within two or more HIEs that interact with humans in a human, cartoon or pet-like manner. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, simple-to-use devices, and graphical user interfaces. The AIP may be periodically updated based on human interactions sensed by the HIEs as well as knowledge of historical and ongoing events. The systems may provide two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an expert knowledge base and a familiar, cumulative personality.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10762414
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for sharing an artificial intelligence personality (AIP) among multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). An AIP is an understanding construct that interacts with one or more humans in a human- or pet-like manner, implementing a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, and avatars. The system may be implemented using two or more HIEs and, optionally, one or more remote and/or distributed processors to compute AIPs and sequence telecommunications. AIPs are periodically updated primarily based on human interactions sensed by the two or more HIEs. HIEs may continue to operate without interruption in the presence of significant telecommunications delays. The systems may provide two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an integrated knowledge base and personality cumulatively acquired from all users.
