Patent number: 10902842Abstract: A determination regarding whether to intervene in a dialog to provide system-initiated assistive information involves monitoring a dialog between at least two participants and capturing data from a dialog environment containing at least one of the participants. The captured data represent the content of the dialog and physiological data for one or more participants. Assistive information relevant to the dialog and participants is identified, and the captured data are used to determine an intervention index of delivering the assistive information to one or more participants during the dialog. This intervention index is then used to determine whether or not to intervene in the dialog to deliver the assistive information to one or more participants.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Helena Morgado Corelli, Rodrigo Braga Fernandes, Rodrigo Laiola Guimaraes, Rafael Sorana de Matos, Julio Nogima, Rogerio Cesar Barbosa Dos Santos Silva, Thiago Luiz de Barcelos Vital

Patent number: 10770072Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a triggering system, input data about an environment. Machine learning (ML) algorithms extract features from the input data and analyze relationships among and between the features to generate user-interaction-readiness model of person-A's readiness to participate in a human interaction with other persons in the environment. The ML algorithms to apply real-world data about person-A to the user-interaction-readiness model to generate a first classification output comprising data representing person-A's readiness to participate in a human interaction with other persons in the environment. Based at least in part on a determination that person-A and another person(s) in the environment are interaction candidates, the triggering system triggers the initiation of human interaction strategies configured to facilitate human interactions between person-A and the previously identified another person(s) in the environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vinícius Costa Villas Bôas Segura, Ana Fucs, Rodrigo Laiola Guimaraes, Julio Nogima
