SENTIENT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An embodiment of the invention provides a sentient environment which interacts with and adapts itself to a person present in the environment responsive to active and/or passive expressions of preferences by the person. Active communications are communications intentionally generated by the person using a communication terminal and intentionally generated by the person using a communication terminal and intentionally transmitted to the sentient environment via a communication system. Passive communications are communications generated responsive to the person's features, and/or gestures that are not intentionally made to communicate with the sentient environment.
