Abstract

Methods and systems for using generative content to improve the ability of an individual to communicate using electronic-assisted communication.

Claims (38)

1. A method for assisting an individual in engaging in electronic-assisted communication, the method comprising:

obtaining an input prompt using an electronic assistance device;

assessing the input prompt to identify a topic category associated with the input prompt using a computer processor;

generating a plurality of content responses using the topic category such that the plurality of content responses are conversationally associated with the topic category, wherein each content response from the plurality of content responses is further associated with an emotion identifier selected from a plurality of emotion identifiers, and wherein generating the plurality of content responses comprises using a large language model operatively networked to the electronic assistance device;

electronically displaying the plurality of content responses in a display of a user interface, where a first emotion identifier associated with a first content response is visually distinguishable on the display from a second emotion identifier associated with a second content response;

wherein the user interface is configured to permit the individual to select at least one of the plurality of content responses as a selected content response; and

electronically communicating the selected content response using the electronic assistance device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic assistance device comprises a brain-computer interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic assistance device comprises a portable digital device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic assistance device comprises a computer system.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing a database containing a plurality of informational data specific to the individual, where generating the plurality of content responses comprises generating at least one content response containing at least one informational data specific to the individual.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of informational data specific to the individual includes data selected from the group consisting of: demographic information, personal preferences, biographic information, family information, health information, calendar information, medical treatment information, historical information.

7. The method of claim 1 , where obtaining the input prompt occurs actively by entering a recording into the electronic assistance device.

8. The method of claim 1 , where obtaining the input prompt occurs passively.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein electronically communicating the selected content response using the electronic assistance device comprises displaying the selected content response electronically.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein electronically communicating the selected content response using the electronic assistance device comprises generating an audible voice that recites the selected content response.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein before electronically communicating the selected content response, providing the individual with an ability to customize the selected content response using the user interface.

12. A method for assisting an individual in engaging in electronic-assisted communication, the method comprising:

obtaining an input prompt using an electronic assistance device;

generating a plurality of emotion identifiers using the input prompt;

electronically displaying the plurality of emotion identifiers in a display of a user interface, wherein the user interface is configured to permit the individual to select at least one of the plurality of emotion identifiers as a selected emotion identifier;

electronically displaying a plurality of content responses associated with the selected emotion identifier on the user interface, wherein the plurality of content responses are generated using a large language model operatively networked to the electronic assistance device, and wherein the user interface is configured to permit the individual to select at least one of the plurality of content responses as a selected content response; and

electronically communicating the selected content response using the electronic assistance device.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising assessing the input prompt to identify a topic category associated with the input prompt using a computer processor such that the plurality of content responses are conversationally associated with the topic category, where each content response from the plurality of content responses is further associated with the selected emotion identifier.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein electronically displaying the plurality of emotion identifiers in the display of the user interface such that each of the plurality of emotion identifiers are visually distinguishable from a remainder of the plurality of emotion identifiers.

15. An electronic system for assisting an individual in engaging in electronic-assisted communication, the electronic system comprising:

a memory unit;

a recording device configured to convey an input prompt to the memory unit;

a processor configured access the memory unit to assess the input prompt and identify a topic category associated with the input prompt and generate a plurality of content responses using the topic category such that the plurality of content responses are conversationally associated with the topic category, wherein each content response from the plurality of content responses is further associated with an emotion identifier selected from a plurality of emotion identifiers, and wherein the processor is operatively networked to a large language model for generating the plurality of content responses;

a user interface having an electronic display configured to display the plurality of content responses, where the processor is further configured to provide to the electronic display a first emotion identifier associated with a first content response that is visually distinguishable on the electronic display from a second emotion identifier associated with a second content response;

the user interface further configured to permit the individual to select at least one of the plurality of content responses as a selected content response; and

where the processor is further configured to electronically communicate the selected content response.

16. The electronic system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is operatively networked to a database containing a plurality of informational data specific to the individual, where generating the plurality of content responses comprises generating at least one content response containing at least one informational data specific to the individual.

17. The electronic system of claim 15 , where the recording device is configured to actively have a recording state for actively recording the input prompt.

18. The electronic system of claim 15 , where the recording device is configured to actively a recording state that passively records the input prompt.

19. The electronic system of claim 15 , the processor is configured to electronically communicate the selected content response by causing the selected content response to be transmitted to an external display device.

20. The electronic system of claim 15 , the processor is configured to electronically communicate the selected content response by displaying the selected content response on the electronic display.

21. The electronic system of claim 15 , further comprising a speaker such that the processor causes generation of an audible voice of the selected content response.
