Embodiment Construction

[0009] Referring now to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like elements, various embodiments will be described.

[0010] figure 1 A system is shown for using non-verbal communication to determine an action to perform. As illustrated, system 100 includes application 110 , comprehension manager 26 , user profile 125 , received interactions 120 , non-verbal communication prompts 121 - 123 , and device(s) 115 .

[0011] To facilitate communication with comprehension manager 26, one or more callback routines may be implemented. According to one embodiment, the application program 110 is a productivity application, such as an application included in the MICROSOFT OFFICE suite of applications, configured to receive user interaction. The application 110 may be configured to interact with or operate on one or more different computing devices (such as a tablet / tablet computer, desktop computer, touch screen, monitor , laptops, mobile devices, etc.). User interaction may b...

Abstract

Nonverbal communication is used when determining an action to perform in response to received user input. The received input includes direct input (e.g. speech, text, gestures) and indirect input (e.g. nonverbal communication). The nonverbal communication includes cues such as body language, facial expressions, breathing rate, heart rate, well as vocal cues (e.g. prosodic and acoustic cues) and the like. Different nonverbal communication cues are monitored such that performed actions are personalized. A direct input specifying an action to perform (e.g. “perform action 1”) may be adjusted based on one or more indirect inputs (e.g. nonverbal cues) received. Another action may also be performed in response to the indirect inputs. A profile may be associated with the user such that the responses provided by the system are determined using nonverbal cues that are associated with the user.

Description

Background technique [0001] Verbal communication and other direct input can be used for a variety of different applications. For example, voice input and other direct input methods may be used when interacting with productivity applications, games, and / or some other applications. These systems may use different types of direct input, such as speech, text and / or gestures received from a user. Creating systems that interpret and respond to direct user input can be challenging. Contents of the invention [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0003] When determining an action to be performed in response to received user input, non-verbal communication (eg, not t...
