  • Publication number: 20240135202
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive interaction data describing a communication by a user with the AIIC, predict, using the trained ML model and the interaction data, at least one user memory feature(s) of the communication, and identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s). The software code also determines, using the user memory feature(s) and the corresponding one or more of the memory features for the AIIC, an interactive communication for execution by the AIIC in response to the communication by the user; and outputs the interactive communication to the AIIC.

  • Publication number: 20240135212
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The software code is executed to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using the trained ML model and the reminiscence, one or more user memory feature(s) of the reminiscence, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s), and determine, using the user memory feature(s), a mood modifier for a creative composition. The software code is further executed to produce, based on the mood modifier and the corresponding one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC, the creative composition, and provide the creative composition to the AIIC.

  • Patent number: 9609226
    Abstract: A system for improved camera focusing systems using subject location tags. More particularly, the disclosed subject matter relates to providing a system comprising camera accessories and in-lens technologies that allows for the continuous, automated focus of a subject by measuring the distance between the camera and a subject that has been “tagged” with a locator beacon.
