Systems and methods for time-sharing interactions using a shared artificial intelligence personality
Patent number: 10915814Abstract: 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.

Patent number: 10853768Abstract: An inference is made regarding whether or not an upcoming day is going to be a busy day for a user. One or more different user-specific event parameters are utilized to compute a user busyness score for the upcoming day, where these parameters are based in part on a history of events for the user and their past behavior. Then, whenever the user busyness score for the upcoming day is greater than a busy day threshold, it is inferred that the upcoming day is going to be a busy day for the user. Whenever the user busyness score for the upcoming day is less than a quiet day threshold, it is inferred that the upcoming day is going to be a quiet day for the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Azar Rahimi Dehaghani, Michael Wascher, Nick Gedge
