Abstract
A computer device may identify an interaction device that is capable of outputting a simulation representative of an identified aspect of an entity. The computer device may trigger the identified interaction device to output a simulation of the identified aspect.
Claims20
A method for generating a simulacrum representative of an entity, the method comprising:
- determining, by a computer device, a current context associated with a first entity and a second entity, wherein the current context indicates that the first entity and the second entity are separated;
- detecting, by the computer device, that the first entity is experiencing a behavior relating to the separation of the first entity and the second entity;
- in response to detecting that the first entity is experiencing the behavior, identifying, by the computer device, an aspect of the second entity based on engagement data associated with historical interactions between the first entity and the second entity;
- identifying, by the computer device, an interaction device that is capable of outputting a simulacrum representative of the identified aspect of the second entity;
- and
- triggering, by the computer device, the identified interaction device to output the identified simulacrum.
A system effective to generate a simulacrum representative of an entity, the system comprising:
- a memory configured to store a set of instructions;
- a processor configured to be in communication with the memory;
- at least one interaction device configured to be in communication with the processor;
- the processor being configured to execute the set of instructions to:
- determine a current context associated with a first entity and a second entity, wherein the current context indicates that the first entity and second entity are separated;
- detect that the first entity is experiencing a behavior relating to the separation of the first entity and the second entity;
- in response to the detection that the first entity is experiencing the behavior, identify an aspect of the second entity based on engagement data associated with historical interactions between the first entity and the second entity;
- identify an interaction device among the at least one interaction device, wherein the identified interaction device is capable of outputting a simulacrum representative of the identified aspect of the second entity;
- and
- trigger the identified interaction device to output the identified simulacrum.
A computer program product for generating a simulacrum representative of an entity, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing element of a device to cause the device to:
- determine a current context associated with a first entity and a second entity, wherein the current context indicates that the first entity and second entity are separated;
- detect that the first entity is experiencing a behavior relating to the separation of the first entity and the second entity;
- in response to detecting that the first entity is experiencing the behavior, identify an aspect of the second entity based on engagement data associated with historical interactions between the first entity and the second entity;
- identify an interaction device that is capable of outputting a simulacrum representative of the identified aspect of the second entity;
- and
- trigger the identified interaction device to output the identified simulacrum.
