Developing a knowledge base associated with a user that facilitates evolution of an intelligent user interface
View Patent ↗Developing a knowledgebase associated with a user interface is disclosed. Development of the knowledgebase includes cataloging local data associated with a user, collecting remote data associated with the user, recording information associated with verbal input received from the user, tracking acts performed by the user to determine user idiosyncrasies, and updating the knowledgebase with the cataloged local data, the collected remote data, the recorded information, and the user idiosyncrasies. The updated knowledgebase is then provided to a component of a user interface.

collect remote data associated with the user,
record information associated with verbal input received from the user,
track acts performed by the user to determine user idiosyncrasies, and
update the knowledgebase with the cataloged local data, the collected remote data, the recorded information, and the user idiosyncrasies; and
providing the updated knowledgebase to a component of the user interface.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing instructions to record information associated with the verbal input includes performing speech recognition to generate a transcription of verbal input.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing instructions to record information associated with the verbal input includes performing voice recognition to determine the identity of a speaker.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the verbal input identifies characteristics of the user.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the verbal input identifies interests of the user.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing instructions to track acts performed by the user includes tracking the geographical location history of the user.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein executing instructions to track acts performed by the user further includes correlating times and dates with the geographical location history of the user.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing instructions to track acts performed by the user includes tracking activities in which the user participates.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein executing instructions to track acts performed by the user further includes correlating times and dates with the activities.
22. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing instructions to track acts performed by the user further includes tracking information associated with communication partners of the user.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein information associated with communication partners include times and dates of communications between the user and the communication partners.
24. A computer-implemented method for developing a knowledgebase associated with a user interface, the method comprising:
executing instructions stored in memory to:
catalog local data associated with a user, wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data includes catalog trophies stored by a system executing the instructions,
collect remote data associated with the user,
record information associated with verbal input received from the user,
track acts performed by the user to determine user idiosyncrasies, and
update the knowledgebase with the cataloged local data, the collected remote data, the recorded information, and the user idiosyncrasies; and
providing the updated knowledgebase to a component of the user interface.
25. The method of claim 24 , wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data further includes cataloging locally accessible media.
26. The method of claim 24 , wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data further includes cataloging purchases that were made in conjunction with a system executing the instructions.
27. The method of claim 24 , wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data associated with a user further includes cataloging a browser history of a system executing the instructions.
28. The method of claim 24 , wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data associated with a user further includes cataloging devices that are in communication with a system executing the instructions.
29. The method of claim 24 , wherein executing instructions to catalog the local data associated with a user further includes cataloging services that are available via a system executing the instructions.
