Patent 11449682 was granted and assigned to Oracle on September, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Systems, devices, and methods provide improved autonomous agents that are configured to respond to a user's query based on an emotion with which the query was expressed and a personality trait of the user. The agent may identify candidate answers to the query that are each associated with an emotion and/or a personality trait. The autonomous agent may utilize a predefined protocol set that indicates transitions between emotional states. A transition may correspond to an action associated with an emotion and/or a personality trait that, if performed, is likely to maintain a user in or transition the user to a preferred emotional state. The responses may be scored based at least in part their corresponding emotions and/or personality traits and in light of the transitions identified in the protocol set. A particular scored response may be selected and provided to the user in response to their query.
