Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 16:
17. An apparatus for generating a conversation response during a human-machine conversation, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
receive a first sound input from a human user in the conversation at a neural network having a plurality of layers at a chat engine;
extract a first audio attribute from the first sound input, wherein the first audio attribute indicates a first emotion of the user;
receive a second sound input in the conversation at the neural network;
extract a second audio attribute from the second sound input, wherein the second audio attribute indicates a second emotion of the user;

determine a difference in emotion between the first audio attribute and the second audio attribute, wherein the difference indicates an emotion change of the user from the first emotion to the second emotion;
generate a conversation response to the second sound input based on the difference in emotion between the first audio attribute and the second audio attribute by processing the first audio attribute and the second audio attribute through at least a layer of the plurality of layers of the neural network; and
present a message via the chat engine, including the generated response, to the human user in the conversation.
