US Patent 11334725 Sensor data collection control based on natural language interaction

A discourse pattern is generated by analyzing a set of natural language interactions. A sensor activation plan corresponding to the discourse pattern is determined, the sensor activation plan comprising a data collection parameter corresponding to a first sensor. Within a first natural language interaction, a first pattern having above a threshold similarity to the discourse pattern is detected. Responsive to the detecting, a configuration of the sensor is adjusted according to the sensor activation plan.
