Computer application environment and communication system employing automatic identification of human conversational behavior
First Claim
1. A computer controlled method comprising:
- establishing communication between a conversation-finder module and a computer application environment;
determining, by said conversation-finder module, a conversational floor based on three or more floor determination inputs, wherein said conversational floor associates at least two of said three or more floor determination inputs as being on said conversational floor; and
adapting at least one of said conversation-finder module and said computer application environment responsive to said computer application environment and said conversation-finder module respectively.

Abstract
The disclosed technology is a computer application that establishes communication between a conversation-finder module and a computer application environment. The conversation-finder module determines a conversational floor based on three or more floor determination inputs. The conversational floor associates at least two of the three or more floor determination inputs as being on the conversational floor. The conversation-finder module and the computer application environment can be responsive to each other and can adapt to each other. That is (either or both), the computer application environment can adapt to the conversational floor(s) determined by the conversation-finder module; and the conversation-finder module can determine the conversational floors responsive to a floor determination input and/or control input from the computer application environment.
