Abstract:
Systems and methods are described herein for providing media guidance. Control circuitry may receive a first voice input and access a database of topics to identify a first topic associated with the first voice input. A user interface may generate a first response to the first voice input, and subsequent to generating the first response, the control circuitry may receive a second voice input. The control circuitry may determine a match between the second voice input and an interruption input such as a period of silence or a keyword or a phrase, such as “Ahh,”, “Umm,”, or “Hmm.” The user interface may generate a second response that is associated with a second topic related to the first topic. By interrupting the conversation and changing the subject from time to time, media guidance systems can appear to be more intelligent and human.

Claim (Index 51):
A method for providing a follow-up response to a conversational input based on detecting a user hesitation to an initial response, the method comprising:\n receiving, using control circuitry, a first voice input; generating, using a user interface, a first response to the first voice input; subsequent to generating the first response, receiving, using the control circuitry, a second voice input followed by a period of silence; determining whether the period of silence exceeds a threshold period of silence; in response to determining that the period of silence exceeds the threshold period of silence, comparing the second voice input to a plurality of verbal cues indicative of hesitations; determining, based on the comparing, that the second voice input matches a verbal cue of the plurality of verbal cues; and in response to determining that the second voice input matches the verbal cue, generating, using the user interface, a second response to the first voice input.
