Methods for conducting a conversation in an application enabled by a virtual assistant server and devices thereof

A virtual assistant server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
• determine, at least:
• one or more user intents based on an executed analysis of a received conversational user input;
• and one of a plurality of types of sentences for the received conversational user input, wherein the plurality of types of sentences at least comprise an imperative sentence and an interrogative sentence;
• identify one or more of a plurality of views based on the one or more user intents;
• retrieve content based on the one or more user intents;
• divide the retrieved content into a plurality of parts;
• determine for the identified one or more of the plurality of views and at least two of the plurality of parts a different one of a plurality of graphical user interface layers based at least on one or more factors related to the retrieved content;
• determine an arrangement of at least two of the plurality of parts within at least one of the different ones of the plurality of graphical user interface layers based on the determined one of the plurality of types of sentences for the received conversational user input;
• and
• output instructions configured to render a display based on the determined ones of the plurality of graphical user interface layers and the determined arrangement in response to the received conversational user input, wherein the processor is further configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to associate the plurality of parts with the identified one or more of the plurality of views by specifying in the output instructions the plurality of parts and one of a plurality of template properties of the identified one or more of the plurality of views in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for generating a response which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• determine, at least:
• one or more user intents based on an executed analysis of a received conversational user input;
• and one of a plurality of types of sentences for the received conversational user input, wherein the plurality of types of sentences at least comprise an imperative sentence and an interrogative sentence;
• identify one or more of a plurality of views based on the one or more user intents;
• retrieve content based on the one or more user intents;
• divide the retrieved content into a plurality of parts;
• determine for the identified one or more of the plurality of views and at least two of the plurality of parts a different one of a plurality of graphical user interface layers based at least on one or more factors related to the retrieved content;
• determine an arrangement of at least two of the plurality of parts within at least one of the different ones of the plurality of graphical user interface layers based on the determined one of the plurality of types of sentences for the received conversational user input;
• and
• output instructions configured to render a display based on the determined ones of the plurality of graphical user interface layers and the determined arrangement in response to the received conversational user input, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor further causes the one or more processors to associate the plurality of parts with the identified one or more of the plurality of views by specifying in the output instructions the plurality of parts and one of a plurality of template properties of the identified one or more of the plurality of views in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object.
