Intent engines, systems and method

A method of controlling an electronic device to learn intents of a user and control output actions based on intents, the method comprising:

• providing access by the electronic device to a database configured to store intent objects according to interaction attributes;
• obtaining an environmental interaction representation related to an environment of the electronic device, including obtaining sensor data from two or more sensors, and forming the environmental interaction representation based on the obtained sensor data;
• deriving interaction attributes within an interaction space as a function of the environmental interaction representation;
• modifying at least one intent object from the database based on the interaction attributes, wherein the at least one intent object includes a life time attribute;
• outputting a request for confirmation of a user state of mind corresponding to the modified intent object;
• receiving input indicating whether the user state of mind is confirmed;
• using the input to map a correlation between interaction attributes and the modified intent object;
• and
• configuring an output device to adjust an output device action according to the at least one modified intent object.

A system for learning intents of a user and controlling output actions based on intents, the system comprising:

• at least one processor communicatively coupled with a database storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• obtain an environmental interaction representation related to an environment of the electronic device, including obtaining data from two or more sensors, and forming the environmental interaction representation based on the obtained data;
• derive interaction attributes within an interaction space as function of the environmental interaction representation;
• modify at least one intent object from the database based on the interaction attributes, wherein the at least one intent object comprises a life time;
• output, by the electronic device, a request for confirmation of a user state of mind corresponding to the modified intent object;
• receive input indicating whether the user state of mind is confirmed;
• use the input to map a correlation between interaction attributes and the modified intent object;
• and
• configure an output device to adjust an output device action according to the at least one intent object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:

• obtaining an environmental interaction representation related to an environment of the electronic device, including obtaining sensor data from two or more sensors, and forming the environmental interaction representation based on the obtained sensor data;
• deriving interaction attributes within an interaction space as a function of the environmental interaction representation;
• modifying at least one intent object from the database based on the interaction attributes, wherein the at least one intent object includes a life time attribute;
• outputting a request for confirmation of a user state of mind corresponding to the modified intent object;
• receiving input indicating whether the user state of mind is confirmed;
• using the input to map a correlation between interaction attributes and the modified intent object;
• and
• configuring an output device to adjust an output device action according to the at least one modified intent object.
