Abstract:
A Personal Virtual Assistant (PVA) system takes existing inputs and processes them to understand the user's personality, intent, etc., through analysis of features such as the user's tone, language use, vocal volume, facial expressions, and context from device use and surroundings. As a result of the processing, the PVA system augments how it responds and interacts with the user. Such augmented responses may include simple things like changing the assistant's tone to complimenting the user's mood, as well as changing her use of language, volume, and the way she shares information, like giving good news when the user might be down, or suppressing bad news when the time is not right for the user to optimally process it.

Claim (Index 1):
A personal virtual assistant system, comprising:\n processing circuitry; a speaker; at least one sensing device that collects user state information relating to an emotional state of a user from at least the user's voice; and a memory device having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to:\n receive a communication from the user that elicits a response from the personal virtual assistant system; \n determine from at least the user state information collected by the at least one sensing device an emotional state of the user using a machine learning model; \n generate a response that takes into account the determined emotional state of the user; \n output the generated response to the user using language, volume, and tone over the speaker selected to change the determined emotional state of the user to a different emotional state; and \n train the machine learning model based on the user's response to the outputted response.
