This invention describes a computer system that powers a virtual character, or avatar, allowing it to interact. It works by taking in spoken or written words, breaking them down to understand their meaning and context, and then using that analysis to drive the avatar's actions or generate responses. The claims specifically focus on the initial steps of receiving dialogue and creating a structured, analyzed version of it for the avatar.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of powerful Large Language Models. Many of the complex NLP and generation tasks described, which were difficult in 2014, are now significantly more feasible and effective with modern AI.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
