Abstract

A method, system, and machine readable medium for providing a virtual persona are disclosed. User input directed to a life archive data of a particular virtual persona is received. One or more artificial intelligence files are determined in response to the user input. An output may be generated based on the one or more artificial intelligence files and provided to the user.

Claims

1. A method for providing a virtual persona, comprising:

receiving a user input directed to life archive data of a particular virtual persona;

determining at least one artificial intelligence file in response to the user input; and

providing an output based on the at least one artificial intelligence file to a user.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving and automatically tagging the life archive data for the particular virtual persona.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving one or more vLogs for the particular virtual persona.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving data from a coupled external source.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving answers to questions asked to one or more users.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving data from e-mails.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving data from a messaging system

8. The method of claim 2 wherein receiving the life archive data comprises receiving votes on life archive data.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the artificial intelligence files based at least on tags used for tagging life archive data.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising loading artificial intelligence files for the particular virtual persona prior to receiving the user input.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein determining at least one artificial intelligence file comprises determining a level of access for the user.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein determining at least one artificial intelligence file comprises determining if the particular virtual personal is a private or public personal.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein providing the output to a user comprises generating a graphical interface to the output.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein providing the output to a user comprises generating an audio output.

15. A system for providing a virtual persona, comprising:

a user interface module configured to receive a user input directed to life archive data of a particular virtual persona;

an analysis module configured to determine at least one artificial intelligence file in response to the user input; and

an output generator configured to generate an output based on the at least one artificial intelligence file to a user.

16. The system of claim 15 further comprising a data capture engine configured to receiving the life archive data for the particular virtual persona.

17. The system of claim 15 further comprising a tagging engine configured to automatically tag the life archive data for the particular virtual persona.

18. The system of claim 16 further comprising a template generator configured to generate the artificial intelligence templates based at least on tags used for tagging life archive data.

19. The system of claim 16 further comprising an artificial intelligence editor configured to allow a user to edit life archive data for the particular virtual persona.

20. A machine readable medium having embodied thereon a program for providing instructions for a method for providing a virtual persona, the method comprising:

receiving a user input directed to life archive data of a particular virtual persona;

determining at least one artificial intelligence file in response to the user input; and

providing an output based on the at least one artificial intelligence file to a user.
