Multi-modal device capable of automated actions
First Claim
1. A multi-modal multi-lingual mobile device that facilitates automating an action, comprising:
- a detection component that employs a plurality of integrated sensors to obtain at least one criterion from an auxiliary act through passive observation, the auxiliary act is a conversation of a user with an entity that is not the mobile device, wherein the at least one criterion is an environmental context that relates to a weather condition, and a schedule manipulation action is performed at least partially in view of at least one of expected travel complications or venue incompatibility with the weather condition; and
an analyzer component that evaluates the at least one criterion to infer a user intent and automatically implements the action based at least in part upon operation of a rules-based logic component, wherein the rules based logic component automatically allows execution of the action based at least in part upon satisfaction of a defined rule, and based at least in part upon operation of an implementation component configured to identify an individual, the implementation component using an algorithm together with a desired degree of certainty, and based at least in part upon operation of an artificial intelligence component that comprises a classifier function that maps an input attribute vector x=(x1, x2, x3, x4, xn) to a confidence that input associated with the vector belongs to a class, wherein the xi, are input attributes, wherein the confidence that the input belongs to the class is expressed as f(x)=confidence(class), and wherein the class to which an input belongs infers the action that the user desires to be automatically performed;
wherein the auxiliary act is not for an explicit purpose of implementing the action.

Abstract
A multi-modal multi-lingual mobile device that facilitates intelligently automating an action. The device can automatically synchronize a user schedule based upon a user state, intention, preference and/or limitation. The device can employ sensors to automatically detect criteria by which to automatically implement an action. Moreover, the system can interrogate a user thus converging upon a user intention and/or preference. An analyzer component can intelligently evaluate the compiled criterion in order to automatically perform an action. The multi-modal multi-lingual mobile device can automatically facilitate identification of an individual. Other actions that are automatically performed can include modifying personal information manager data, translating languages into a language comprehendible to a user, etc. Implementation of these actions can be based at least in part upon an environmental factor, a conversation, a location factor and a temporal factor.
