Abstract
Communications pertaining to a digital human can include communicating via a lighting system based on determining an aspect of a user based on one or more sensor-generated signals. A communicative lighting sequence can be determined based on the user attribute. The lighting sequence can correspond to a condition of a digital human and can be configured to communicate to the user the condition of the digital human. The light sequence can be generated with an LED array mounted on a digital human display assembly.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- presenting a digital human on a display panel of a digital human display assembly, wherein the digital human is computer-generated and is configured to engage in an interactive dialog with a user;
- selecting, with a communicative light system (CLS), a selected lighting sequence from a plurality of lighting sequences based on a status of the digital human in responding to a query from the user during the interactive dialog, wherein each lighting sequence of the plurality of lighting sequences is configured to communicate to the user a different status of the digital human as displayed on the display panel and indicating readiness of the digital human to receive a request from the user;
- and
- generating, under control of the CLS, the selected lighting sequence using a light emitting diode (LED) array on the digital human display assembly concurrently with displaying the digital human on the display panel, wherein the LED array is separate from the display panel.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- a light emitting diode (LED) array;
- a display;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the one or more sensors, the LED array, and the display, wherein the processor is configured to initiate operations including:
- presenting a digital human on the display, wherein the digital human is computer-generated and is configured to engage in an interactive dialog with a user;
- selecting a selected lighting sequence from a plurality of lighting sequences based on a status of the digital human in responding to a query from the user during the interactive dialog, wherein each lighting sequence of the plurality of lighting sequences is configured to communicate to the user a different status of the digital human as displayed on the display and indicating readiness of the digital human to receive a request from the user;
- and
- generating the selected lighting sequence using the LED array concurrently with displaying the digital human on the display, wherein the LED array is separate from the display.
6 more elements
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to initiate operations including:
- presenting a digital human on a display panel of a digital human display assembly, wherein the digital human is computer-generated and is configured to engage in an interactive dialog with a user;
- selecting a selected lighting sequence from a plurality of lighting sequences based on a status of the digital human in responding to a query from the user during the interactive dialog, wherein each lighting sequence of the plurality of lighting sequences is configured to communicate to the user a different status of the digital human as displayed on the display panel and indicating readiness of the digital human to receive a request from the user;
- and
- generating the selected lighting sequence using a light emitting diode (LED) array mounted on the digital human display assembly concurrently with displaying the digital human on the display panel, wherein the LED array is separate from the display panel.
