  • Patent number: 7987151
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for problem solving using intelligent agents. The intelligent agents may be embodied as processor-readable software code stored on a processor-readable medium. The intelligent agents may include a brain agent to parse the input and direct the parsed input query to other intelligent agents within the system. The apparatus and method may use, for example, a personality agent, a language agent, a knowledge agent, a mood agent, a visual agent, sound agent, a tactile agent, and a smell/taste agent and various connectors to external data sources or other intelligent systems to interpret questions and provide responses back to the user. The apparatus and method may further parse questions in a conceptual manner. The apparatus and method may further optimize its system performance by evolving with and reacting to specific user interactions. Thus, the present invention may be configured to receive a human question and to output a human answer.

  • Publication number: 20030033266
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for iterative problem solving that uses intelligent agents such as a brain agent, a profile agent, a personality agent, a knowledge agent and an error handling agent to interpret questions posed by a user and to provide responses back to the user. The apparatus and method may further use a mood agent, a visual agent, sound agent, a tactile agent, and a smell/taste agent and various connectors to external data sources to interpret questions and provide responses back to the user. The apparatus and method may further parse questions in a conceptual manner. The apparatus and method may further optimize its system performance by evolving with and reacting to user interactions.
