Patent number: 10878307Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving various input data, processing said input data, and utilizing artificial emotional intelligence to analyze said input data to return calculated response stimuli are provided. Various electronic devices may be utilized to acquire input data related to a specific user, a group of users, or environments. This input data, which may comprise tone of voice, facial expressions, social media profiles, and surrounding environmental data, may be compared with past data related to a certain user, group of users, or environment. The systems and methods herein may employ artificial emotional intelligence to evaluate the aggregated data and provide a response stimulus to a user or group of users. The response stimulus may be in the form of uplifting/encouraging music, quotes, pictures, jokes, suggestions, etc. The purpose of providing the response stimuli is to significantly increase the productivity of meetings, conversations, and other interactions across electronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Emmanouil Koukoumidis, Daniel Massey, Dustin Abramson, Donald F.

Patent number: 10535344Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to conversational system user experience. In an example, a conversational system may use one or more sensors of a user device to affect the topic or direction of a conversation or to identify a new conversation topic. The conversational system may also receive input from a user, wherein a GUI may enable the user to specify or alter semantic information used during the conversation. The GUI may comprise one or more skeuomorphic elements designed to provide a familiar or intuitive way for the user to interact with the conversational system. The GUI may also be used to disambiguate messages or convey emotion or sentiment to the user. In another example, haptic or audio feedback may be provided alongside a message to convey emotion to the user during the conversation.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph Edwin Johnson, Jr., Emmanouil Koukoumidis, Donald Brinkman, Hailong Mu, Dustin Abramson, Hudong Wang, Dan Vann, Youssef Hammad
