Multimodal intention integration algorithm.

The algorithm for reverse active integration of multimodal intentions

While(1):
 While(1):
  Modal information
   //extract speech and gesture intentions from the speech and gesture information as per the posture information and then integrate the two-modal intentions based on the environment information
  IF: ! = : ; break; //if the integrated intention set is not empty, obtain the most possible intention based on the time difference-intention probability
  ELSE: analyze the cause of empty set, actively obtain enhanced information to cover the original , and continue; //the system obtains the enhanced information as per the cause of empty set of the integrated intention
, (check the corresponding table); //calculate the entropy of single-modal information by using the improved method for calculation of information entropy
 ∗ 
S = () //obtain the system’s feedback action S on the basis of the integrated intention, the time difference, and the trust degree threshold if(): ; break;
Else: execute continue
