Artificial intelligence conversational device, system and method

Abstract

An AI conversational system including a three-dimensional figure representing a character, having an interior pocket accessible through a closure that is selectively opened or closed; and a voice box removably disposed within the interior pocket, wherein the voice box has a housing enclosing a microcontroller unit operationally connected to a wireless antenna, a speaker, a microphone, and a battery; wherein the microcontroller unit is configured to wirelessly access an internet-based artificial intelligence GPT engine and produce interactive and responsive conversation representative of the character represented by the three-dimensional figure. The voice box further includes a near-field sensor enclosed in the housing and operationally connected to the microcontroller unit. The three-dimensional figure further includes a near-field tag disposed in the interior pocket proximate to near-field sensor when the voice box is disposed in the interior pocket, which tag identifies a particular character.

1 . An AI conversational system, comprising:
 a three-dimensional figure representing a character, having an interior pocket accessible through a closure that is selectively opened or closed;   a voice box removably disposed within the interior pocket, wherein the voice box has a housing enclosing a microcontroller unit operationally connected to a wireless antenna, a speaker, a microphone, and a battery;   wherein the microcontroller unit is configured to wirelessly access an internet-based artificial intelligence GPT engine and produce interactive and responsive conversation representative of the character represented by the three-dimensional figure.   
     
     
         2 . The AI conversational system of  claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional figure is selected from the group consisting of a plush toy, a stuffed toy, an action figure, an instrument, and a conversational model. 
     
     
         3 . The AI conversational system of  claim 1 , wherein the wireless antenna of the voice box is configured for wireless connectivity through a WLAN protocol or a WPAN protocol. 
     
     
         4 . The AI conversational system of  claim 3 , wherein the WLAN protocol corresponds to a Wi-Fi connection and the WPAN protocol corresponds to a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         5 . The AI conversational system of  claim 1 , wherein the voice box further comprises a near-field sensor enclosed in the housing and operationally connected to the microcontroller unit. 
     
     
         6 . The AI conversational system of  claim 5 , further comprising a near-field tag disposed in the interior pocket of the three-dimensional figure proximate to near-field sensor when the voice box is disposed in the interior pocket. 
     
     
         7 . The AI conversational system of  claim 6 , wherein the near-field tag is programmed to identify a particular character and the near-field sensor is programmed to communicate the particular character identified by the near-field tag to the microcontroller unit. 
     
     
         8 . The AI conversational system of  claim 7 , wherein the microcontroller unit is programmed to communicate the particular character identified by the near-field tag to the artificial intelligence GPT engine so as to produce interactive and responsive conversation representative of the particular character identified by the near-field tag. 
     
     
         9 . The AI conversational system of  claim 1 , wherein the microcontroller unit is wirelessly connected to a persistent long-term memory database whereby a history of past interactive and responsive conversations is stored. 
     
     
         10 . The AI conversational system of  claim 1 , wherein the microcontroller unit is wirelessly connected to a persistent contact and entity database whereby a list of contacts and entities associated with the character represented by the three-dimensional figure is stored.
