Abstract

A method for processing information by an intelligent agent and the intelligent agent, where the method comprises: a first intelligent agent sends a request message to a second intelligent agent, where the request message includes an invitation message or a recommendation message; the first intelligent agent receives a decision message fed back by the second intelligent agent, where the decision message is determined according to the invitation message or the recommendation message and a knowledge model of the second intelligent agent; and the first intelligent agent updates, according to the decision message, a knowledge model of the first intelligent agent or sends a notification message to a first user account corresponding to the first intelligent agent. By using these technical solutions, information on a social network may be learned and processed by means of interaction with another intelligent agent, thereby implementing mining of data on the social network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for processing information, the method comprising:
performing, by a first intelligent agent in a first terminal device, data mining on a social network, wherein performing the data mining comprises:
autonomously sending, by the first intelligent agent, a request message to a second intelligent agent in a second terminal device, wherein the request message comprises an invitation message or a recommendation message, wherein:
each of the first intelligent agent and the second intelligent agent is a virtual machine learning program and corresponds to a respective user account on the social network; and
the autonomously sending comprises predicting, by the first intelligent agent, an idle time of a second user account by learning a historical activity time of the second user account on the social network, and autonomously sending, by the first intelligent agent, the request message to the second intelligent agent at the idle time of the second user account;

receiving, by the first intelligent agent, a decision message from the second intelligent agent, wherein the decision message is determined by the second intelligent agent according to a knowledge model of the second intelligent agent and the request message; and
updating, by the first intelligent agent according to the decision message, a knowledge model of the first intelligent agent or sending, by the first intelligent agent according to the decision message, a notification message to a first user account corresponding to the first intelligent agent.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the request message is the recommendation message, and
the decision message indicates acceptance or refusal of the recommendation message; and
updating, by the first intelligent agent according to the decision message, the knowledge model of the first intelligent agent or sending, by the first intelligent agent according to the decision message, the notification message to the first user account corresponding to the first intelligent agent comprises:
updating, by the first intelligent agent, the knowledge model of the first intelligent agent according to the decision message when the decision message indicates acceptance or refusal of the recommendation message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending, by the first intelligent agent, the request message to the second intelligent agent comprises:
sending, directly by the first intelligent agent, the request message to the second intelligent agent, wherein before the first intelligent agent directly sends the request message to the second intelligent agent, the first intelligent agent does not notify the first user account or receives an instruction sent from a terminal device of a first user corresponding to the first user account, wherein the instruction is used to instruct the first intelligent agent to send the request message to the second intelligent agent.

4. An intelligent agent, comprising:
at least one processor; and
one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions, wherein the programming instructions are for execution by the at least one processor to:
perform data mining on a social network, wherein performing the data mining comprises:
autonomously sending a request message to a second intelligent agent, wherein the request message comprises an invitation message or a recommendation message, wherein:
each of the intelligent agent and the second intelligent agent is a virtual machine learning program and corresponds to a respective user account on the social network; and
the autonomously sending comprises predicting, by the intelligent agent, an idle time of a second user account by learning a historical activity time of the second user account on the social network, and autonomously sending, by the intelligent agent, the request message to the second intelligent agent at the idle time of the second user account;

receiving a decision message from the second intelligent agent, wherein the decision message is determined by the second intelligent agent according to the request message and a knowledge model of the second intelligent agent; and
updating, according to the decision message, a knowledge model of the intelligent agent or send a notification message to a first user account corresponding to the intelligent agent.

5. The intelligent agent according to claim 4 , wherein:
the request message is the recommendation message,
the decision message indicates acceptance or refusal of the recommendation message; and
updating the knowledge model or sending the notification message comprises updating the knowledge model according to the decision message when the decision message indicates acceptance or refusal of the recommendation message.

6. The intelligent agent according to claim 4 , wherein sending the request message to the second intelligent agent comprises:
directly sending the request message to the second intelligent agent, wherein before directly sending the request message to the second intelligent agent, the intelligent agent does not notify the first user account or receives an instruction from a terminal device of a first user corresponding to the first user account, wherein the instruction is used to instruct the intelligent agent to send the request message to the second intelligent agent.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein updating the knowledge model of the first intelligent agent comprises:
sending, by the first intelligent agent, computing parameters to a cloud;
receiving, by the first intelligent agent, a computing result from the cloud; and
updating, by the first intelligent agent, the knowledge model of the first intelligent agent based on the computing result.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal device is a smartphone, and the first intelligent agent is a smartphone assistant.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request message is the recommendation message including at least one of a recommended link, a recommended comment, or a recommended picture.

10. The intelligent agent according to claim 4 , wherein updating the knowledge model of the intelligent agent comprises:
sending computing parameters to a cloud;
receiving a computing result from the cloud; and
updating the knowledge model of the intelligent agent based on the computing result.

11. The intelligent agent according to claim 4 , wherein the intelligent agent is a smartphone assistant in a smartphone.

12. The intelligent agent according to claim 4 , wherein the request message is the recommendation message including at least one of a recommended link, a recommended comment, or a recommended picture.
