An intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions. The system can be implemented using any of a number of different platforms, such as the web, email, smartphone, and the like, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the system is based on sets of interrelated domains and tasks, and employs additional functionally powered by external services with which the system can interact.

Intelligent Automated Assistant

A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent and to reduce the number of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input. Context can include any available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information-processing problem and/or to personalize results. Context can be used to constrain solutions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation.

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof, which can obtain an image, are provided. A mobile terminal (100) includes a camera unit (121), a pictogram extraction unit (182) and a controller (180). The camera unit (121) obtains image information corresponding to at least one of a still image and a moving image. The pictogram extraction unit (182) extracts at least one pictogram from the obtained image information. The controller (180) detects information related to the extracted pictogram, and displays the detected information to be overlapped with the obtained image information. In the mobile terminal, the controller (180) includes, as the detected information, at least one of previously recorded information and currently searched information related to the extracted pictogram.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions, a data warehouse to store transaction data recording the transactions processed at the transaction handler and to store mapping data between first user identifiers and first account identifiers, a profile generator to generate a profile of a user based on the transaction data, and a portal coupled to the transaction handler to receive a query identifying a second user identifier used by the first tracker to track online activities of a user. The system is to identify a second account identifier of the user from the second user identifier based on the mapping data between the first user identifiers and the first account identifiers to facilitate targeted advertising using the profile of the user and/or to provide information about certain transactions of the user related to a previously presented advertisement.

Systems and methods to match identifiers

A method and apparatus are provided for building an intelligent automated assistant. Embodiments of the present invention rely on the concept of “active ontologies” (e.g., execution environments constructed in an ontology-like manner) to build and run applications for use by intelligent automated assistants. In one specific embodiment, a method for building an automated assistant includes interfacing a service-oriented architecture that includes a plurality of remote services to an active ontology, where the active ontology includes at least one active processing element that models a domain. At least one of the remote services is then registered for use in the domain.

PURPOSE: A wireless and wired client authentication and event data processing system is provided to generate event data and authentication data as requested by an event sending client in access via a wired network, to transmit a message, including the generated event data and authentication data, to an event receiving client via a wireless network, and to offer a corresponding event to the event receiving client by receiving authentication data from the client via a callback URL. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises an event sending client(140), an accessing event processor(100), a mobile communication service providing system(150), and an event receiving client(145). The accessing event processor(100) includes an event manager(105), a message processor(110), an authentication checker(115), an event providing module(120), an event management database(125), a member management database(130), and an authentication management database(135). The event manager(104) stores gift event data, selected by the event sending client(140) and given to the event receiving client, at the event management database(125). The message processor(110) transmits a simple message to a mobile terminal of the event receiving client(145) according to a selection of the gift event by the event sending client(140), applies a WAP push or a callback URL to the message, and checks a wireless signal transmitted by the event receiving client(145) via the WAP push or the callback URL. The authentication checker(115) generates an authentication number insertable into the message when the message is transmitted to the event receiving client(145), and authenticates the event receiving client(145) by using the wireless signal transmitted via the WAP push or the callback URL.

PURPOSE: A mobile phone payment method, a system and a recording medium thereof through network type OTP(one time password) authentication are provided to not store the information necessary for the OTP creation to USIM of a mobile phone or a memory area thereby certifying whether the mobile phone is valid OTP media when the OTP is generated. CONSTITUTION: A server confirms whether mobile communication company selection information, a user mobile phone number and user social security number information are received from a user terminal(710). The server transmits the user mobile phone number and the user resident registration number information and requests the user authentication. If a communication company server transmits the user identification result, the server receives and deciphers the user identification result. The server certifies the user requesting the small-sum mobile phone payment(720).

PURPOSE: A method for managing an application of an IC card by linking application management information with client card information and/or personal information is provided to enable a service provider to easily manage the applications offered to the IC card by confirming normal execution of diverse applications installed to the IC card for each card use. CONSTITUTION: When the application is loaded to a client IC card, the application manage information is stored to a storage or a server by linking with the client card information and/or the personal information(200). When the application is used, use or execution information of the application, the client card information, and/or the personal information are transmitted to the server through the card terminal(220). The server extracts the stored application management information based on the information received from the card terminal(225). The server judges the proper use or execution of the application by comparing the extracted application management information with the use or execution information(230). A judging result is provided to the card terminal or a client(245).

A system and a method for processing a payment approval of a check card, and a payment approval processing device and a recording medium thereof are provided to process all or a part of a payment approval request amount of the check card by using credit card information linked with check card information if a payment account of the check card is insufficient to pay the payment approval request amount. An information storing part stores the check card information of a customer to a storage medium(135) by linking with the credit card information. An information checker checks whether the credit card information linked with the check card information is found in the storage medium if the payment account of the check card is insufficient to pay the payment approval amount. A payment approval processor(615) processes all or the part of the payment approval request amount by using the linked credit card information if the credit card information linked with the check card information is found in the storage medium.
