Abstract

Data describing human-machine interfaces available to a user, facts relating to a circumstance of the user, a current human-machine interface being employed by the user, and an initial sentiment associated with the circumstance of the user is received. A target sentiment is computed based on the facts relating to a circumstance of the user. A navigation path to achieve the target sentiment based on the initial sentiment is determined. The next-best human-machine interface to be employed by the user is determined based on the navigation path, the one or more human-machine interfaces available to the user, and the current human-machine interface being employed by the user.

Claims (17)

1 . A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving data describing one or more human-machine interfaces available to a user, facts relating to a circumstance of the user, a current human-machine interface being employed by the user, and an initial sentiment associated with the circumstance of the user;

computing a target sentiment based on the facts relating to a circumstance of the user;

determining a navigation path to achieve the target sentiment based on the initial sentiment; and

determining a next-best human-machine interface to be employed by the user based on the navigation path, the one or more human-machine interfaces available to the user, and the current human-machine interface being employed by the user.

2 . A system comprising:

memory operable to store at least one program; and

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, in which the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

receive data describing one or more human-machine interfaces available to a user, facts relating to a circumstance of the user, a current human-machine interface being employed by the user, and an initial sentiment associated with the circumstance of the user;

compute a target sentiment based on the facts relating to a circumstance of the user;

determine a navigation path to achieve the target sentiment based on the initial sentiment; and

determine a next-best human-machine interface to be employed by the user based on the navigation path, the one or more human-machine interfaces available to the user, and the current human-machine interface being employed by the user.

3 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

receiving data describing one or more human-machine interfaces available to a user, facts relating to a circumstance of the user, a current human-machine interface being employed by the user, and an initial sentiment associated with the circumstance of the user;

computing a target sentiment based on the facts relating to a circumstance of the user;

determining a navigation path to achieve the target sentiment based on the initial sentiment; and

determining a next-best human-machine interface to be employed by the user based on the navigation path, the one or more human-machine interfaces available to the user, and the current human-machine interface being employed by the user.
