Abstract

A human-computer interface system which includes a computer, the computer includes a central processing unit, a first memory, a second memory, at least one storage device, a system hub, an input/output adapter for connecting the at least one storage device to the system hub, an operating system installed onto the at least one storage device, applications software installed onto the at least one storage device, a communication network, the computer being connected to the communication network, a means for inputting and detecting data and commands generated by a user, a plurality of output converters, and a means for allowing the computer to develop and express the computer'"'"'s emotional states.

Claims

1. A human-computer interface system, the system comprising:

a computer, the computer comprises;

a central processing unit;

a first memory;

a second memory;

at least one storage device;

a system hub;

an input/output adapter for connecting the at least one storage device to the system hub;

an operating system installed onto the at least one storage device for recall and interaction with the central processing unit;

applications software installed onto the at least one storage device, the applications software is connected to the operating system;

a communication network;

a communication interface adapter for connecting the computer to the communication network;

at least one remote server;

a display device;

a display adapter for connecting the system hub to the display device;

means for inputting and detecting data and commands generated by a user;

a plurality of output converters; and

a means for allowing the computer to develop and express the computer'"'"'s emotional states, the means for allowing the computer to develop and express the computer'"'"'s emotional states comprises machine emotions development and expression software, the machine emotions development and expression software further comprising;

an update algorithm, the update algorithm outputs updated emotions data;

a mapping algorithm, the mapping algorithm maps at least one of device-dependent classified input, device-dependent unclassified input, device-dependent classified characteristics, and device-dependent unclassified characteristics to device-independent, standardized events, and outputs mapped events to the update algorithm;

a transformation matrix module, the transformation matrix module supplies the update algorithm with instructions for relating the mapped events with a corresponding basic change(s) to each emotion of basic emotions;

an emotional matrix, the emotional matrix inputs the updated emotions data output from the update algorithm; and

a learning database.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the communication network is defined as a data processing network database comprising at least one server.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the communication interface adapter comprises a wireless communication connection.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer generates outputs via the plurality of output converters, the plurality of output converters converts the computer-generated outputs into a user-perceivable output.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a universal serial bus hub, the computer communicates bi-directionally with the system hub and/or the universal serial bus hub for connecting the input means.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising an encryption algorithm for preventing unauthorized access to the communication network.

7. The system of claim 2, wherein the server comprises a network storage system.

8. The system of claim 5, wherein the input means comprises a plurality of user interface devices.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein the input means comprises a plurality of sensors.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

software modules; and

input means drivers, the input means drivers are connected to corresponding input means, the input means drivers communicate with corresponding software modules, wherein the input means drivers providing an interface between the input means and the software modules.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the software modules recognize and/or process user input(s) and/or characteristics, track user input(s) and/or characteristics, and recognize patterns of user input(s) and/or characteristics.
