  • Publication number: 20240135921
    Abstract: A method for computer control of online social interactions based on conversation processing. A portion of a conversation with a given user is recorded, stored in memory, and processed so as to influence subsequent interactions. These may include audio or other contextualized annunciations of subsequent telephone calls. Other modes addressing conversational processing for social purposes can result in interwoven conversation guided among threads of interest, advertising and incented participation of conversational content and placement. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication, including smart phones and adaptive forums chat rooms.

  • Patent number: 11922930
    Abstract: A system and method for contextualized communication events and notifications for project management based on conversation processing. A portion of a conversation with a given user is recorded, stored in memory, and processed so as to influence subsequent interactions. These may include audio or other contextualized annunciations of related information and expectations concerning project responsibilities, schedules, and dependencies. Subsequent meetings and telephone calls may chivvy the project along through reminders of potential compliance or noncompliance with stated and accepted assignments. Other modes addressing conversational processing for social purposes can result in interwoven conversation guided among threads of interest, advertising and incented participation of conversational content and placement.

  • Patent number: 11431660
    Abstract: A method for collaborative conversational artificial intelligence (CCAI). The invention discloses an architecture wherein members of the disclosed system participate in collaborative conversations with one or more AI and human “subminds” connected via a forum, including conversing in natural language and facilitated by one or more “facilitators”. CCAI Applications include the creation of widely extensible evolving modular polylogical groups that are capable of collaboration with sentient beings, collaborative control of devices, service worker interfaces, hybrid representations of sentient beings (including via “reconveyance” of conversation segments), in collaborations that may include, exclude or require human or AI participation.

  • Patent number: 9509838
    Abstract: A method for generating a ring tone for a given caller based on a prior conversation with that caller. A portion of a conversation with a given caller is recorded and stored in memory as a ring tone. When a subsequent call is received from the same caller, identified by caller ID, the ring tone is played, alerting the user to the incoming call as well as the context of their prior communication. In alternative embodiments of the invention, a prior textual or video conversation is used as the basis for a ring tone, and/or the ‘ring tone’ is delivered by other than audio means. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication.
