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 method and system for extracting a propagation path of a worm virus is provided to select a worm virus treatment system automatically by diagnosing and remedying virus infection in a computer infected by a worm virus and extracting a worm virus transmission path of the computer. CONSTITUTION: A virus diagnosing and treating unit(105) diagnoses and treats a virus in a client computer, receives, and stores worm transmission pattern data from a vaccine supply server. A network sensing unit(120) senses a communication port of the client computer and extracts/stores network transmission/receipt data information being transmitted to an exterior or received to an interior. A worm transmission path extracting unit(110) extracts a transmission pattern of an infect worm virus, matches extracted worm transmission pattern data with the network transmission/receipt data, and extracts a worm transmission path after a vaccine program diagnoses a virus infection of the client computer. A worm transmission path output unit(125) prepares and outputs a list with respect to the extracted worm transmission path.

A method for processing a message related to advertisement data using a messenger and a program recording medium thereof are provided to supply a keyword advertisement to a search result about a keyword in using a search service using the messenger, thereby making new profits according to advertisement provision. If advertisement data to be outputted on a screen or a message transmission button near advertisement data is selected, a message input interface to be transmitted to an advertisement data-related advertiser is outputted by a messenger program(425). If a message is inputted to the outputted message input interface, the inputted message is transmitted to a server in a communication network. If a response message corresponding to the message through the messenger program is received, the received response message is outputted on the screen or the messenger program interface(465).

PURPOSE: A method for offering a division card and processing settlement is provided to make the slave clients having no credit card get/use the division card on the Internet by making a master client receive a plurality of division cards through the credit card of the master client. CONSTITUTION: When the maser client requests the division cards to a web server or a card company server, the maser client provides the use limit price information of each division card to the web server or the card company server(630). The web server or the card company server links the issued division card information with the use limit price information of each division card and stores the information in a database(640). The web server or the card company server processes the use approval of the division card based on the use limit price information stored in the database.

Method for offering division card and processing settlement

A method for applying a discount rate is provided to offer differential discount services to clients by automatically generating the discount information corresponding to the amount of a card used which is recorded on a network. A discount information providing server(100) records card use information which can be generated, changed or updated according to the card use of a client, receives the card number information of the client transmitted from a terminal(160) through a network when the client uses the card, and then extracts the card use information related to the card number. The discount information providing server newly changes the extracted card use information, generates the discount information by referring to a policy related to the amount of the card used and/or accumulation policy of the used money, and then applies the generated discount information to the amount of money corresponding to the card use records of the client.

Method for application discount rate

PURPOSE: A complex terminal with an anti-voice fishing function having a service providing unit which provides payment service and a recording medium of the same are provided to supply payment service only about a authenticated phone number, thereby preventing a voice fishing. CONSTITUTION: A memory unit(150) stores the inputted phone number after connecting a call channel based on inputted phone number if using the payment service. If request of using payment service through call receiving from a complex terminal exists, a phone number checking unit checks whether a sending sided phone number is a phone number registered on a memory unit. If sending sided phone number is a phone number on a memory unit, a service providing unit(135) provides a payment service. If sending sided phone number is a phone number that is not registered on a memory unit, a phone number authentication checking unit checks whether the number is authenticated through a server.
