Abstract

A user interface evolves based on learned idiosyncrasies and collected data of a user. Learned idiosyncrasies and collected data of the user can be stored in a knowledge base. Information from the surrounding environment of the user can be obtained during learning of idiosyncrasies or collection of data. Thought-based statements can be generated based at least in part on the knowledge base and the information from the environment surrounding the user during learning of idiosyncrasies or collection of data. The thought-based statements serve to invoke or respond to subsequent actions of the user. The user interface can be presented so as to allow for interaction with the user based at least in part on the thought-based statements. Furthermore, personality nuances of the user interface can be developed that affect the interaction between the user and the user interface.

Claims

12-1. The system of claim 12, further comprising a personality engine stored in memory and executable to develop personality nuances of the user interface that affect the interaction between the user and the user interface.

14. A computer-readable storage medium having a program embodied thereon, the program executable by a processor to perform a method for providing a user interface that evolves based on learned idiosyncrasies and collected data of a user, the method comprising:

storing learned idiosyncrasies and collected data of the user in a knowledge base;

obtaining information from the surrounding environment of the user during learning of idiosyncrasies or collection of data;

generating thought-based statements based at least in part on the knowledge base and the information from the environment surrounding the user during learning of idiosyncrasies or collection of data, the thought-based statements serving to invoke or respond to subsequent actions of the user; and

presenting the user interface and to allow for interaction with the user based at least in part on the thought-based statements.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein obtaining the information from the surrounding environments includes deciphering detected speech from the user.
