First Claim
1. An interactive multimedia assistant device for performing interactive communication and control actions based on a plurality of multimedia inputs, said interactive multimedia assistant device comprising:
- an interactive core component comprising;
one or more of a plurality of multimedia sensors positioned within said interactive core component for detecting, recognizing, capturing, and tracking one or more of the plurality of multimedia inputs, the plurality of multimedia inputs comprising gestures, an image input, and an audio input;
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing the plurality of multimedia inputs and media content;
a controller configured to execute computer program instructions for processing the plurality of multimedia inputs received from one or more of said multimedia sensors, modulating an audio output, and performing one or more of said control actions based on said processed plurality of multimedia inputs;
one or more output devices operably connected to said controller for rendering outputs of said controller; and
one or more communication interfaces for communicating with a swappable personality customizable skin positioned on said interactive core component; and
said swappable personality customizable skin operably coupled on one or more configurable locations of said interactive core component, wherein said swappable personality customizable skin is programmed with a unique identifier that identifies a personality of said swappable personality customizable skin, and wherein said swappable personality customizable skin directs and programs behavior of said interactive core component based on said unique identifier communicated to said interactive core component by said swappable personality customizable skin via one of said one or more communication interfaces, thereby allowing said interactive core component to assume said personality of said swappable personality customizable skin for performing said interactive communication and said control actions based on the plurality of multimedia inputs.

Abstract
An interactive multimedia assistant device (IMAD) includes an interactive core component (ICC) and a swappable personality customizable skin (SPCS) for performing interactive communication and control actions based on multimedia inputs. The ICC includes multimedia sensors for recognizing multimedia inputs; a storage medium for storing the multimedia inputs and media content; a controller for processing the multimedia inputs, modulating an audio output, and performing control actions based on the multimedia inputs; output devices for rendering outputs of the controller, and one or more communication interfaces for communicating with the SPCS. The SPCS is operably coupled on and activated by the ICC. The SPCS is programmed with a unique identifier that identifies a personality of the SPCS. The SPCS directs and programs behavior of the ICC based on the unique identifier, thereby allowing the ICC to assume the personality for performing interactive communication and control actions based on the multimedia inputs.
