Excerpt
Excerpt The present invention provides a digital assistant that detects user emotion and modifies its behavior accordingly. In one embodiment, a modular system is provided, with the desired emotion for the virtual assistant being produced in a first module. A transforming module then converts the emotion into the desired output medium. For example, a happy emotion may be translated to a smiling face for a video output on a website, a cheerful tone of voice for a voice response unit over the telephone, or smiley face emoticon for a text message to a mobile phone. Conversely, input from these various media is normalized to present to the first module the user reaction.
