Empathetic user interface, systems, and methods for interfacing with empathetic computing device
First Claim
1. A method of interfacing with an empathetic computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from sensors of an empathetic computing device, wherein the sensor data is generated responsive, at least in part, to user interaction with the empathetic computing device, and wherein the user interaction comprises a plurality of interaction units;
using the sensor data, associating one or more individual interaction units of the plurality of interaction units with a corresponding interaction unit type in accordance with pre-determined definitions of types of interaction units;
generating feedback for each individual interaction unit from the plurality of interaction units, wherein the feedback is based on the type of the individual interaction unit;
storing a sequence of the interaction unit types of the plurality of interaction units; and
generating a descriptor of the sequence, wherein the descriptor is based at least on contextual information derived, at least in part, from the sensor data.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for empathetic computing are described. A method of interfacing with an empathetic computing system may include receiving sensor data from sensors of an empathetic computing device, wherein the sensor data is generated responsive, at least in part, to user interaction with the empathetic computing device, and wherein the user interaction comprises a plurality of interaction units. The method may include associating one or more individual interaction units of the plurality of interaction units with a corresponding interaction unit type in accordance with pre-determined definitions of types of interaction units, generating feedback responsive to the associating of an individual interaction unit with an interaction unit type, wherein the feedback is based on the type of the individual interaction unit, storing a sequence of interaction unit types of the individual interaction units associated with corresponding interaction unit types, and generating a descriptor of the sequence based at least on contextual information derived, at least in part, from the sensor data.
