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 19):
A machine readable medium that stores instructions thereon that when executed by one or more processing devices cause the one or more processing devices to implement a method of providing empathetic responses from a personal virtual assistant system, comprising:\n receiving a communication from a user that elicits a response from the personal virtual assistant system; sensing at least the user's voice; collecting user state information relating to an emotional state of the user from at least the user's voice; determining from at least the collected user state information an emotional state of the user using a machine learning model; generating a response that takes into account the determined emotional state of the user; outputting the generated response to the user using language, volume, and tone selected to change the determined emotional state of the user to a different emotional state; and training the machine learning model based on the user's response to the outputted response.
