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.

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.

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 system and a method for settlement using the official personal certification information are provided to solve the troublesomeness for holding all settlement tools in order to guarantee anonymity, security, portability, and two-way. CONSTITUTION: A settlement client(115) generates/installs the official personal certification information by receiving an official certificate from a certification authority server(105). A settlement relay server(120) generates a settlement certification code by combining the official personal certification information and the settlement tool information of the client. A settlement server(135) processes the settlement through the official personal certification information and the settlement tool information included in the settlement certification code transmitted from the settlement relay server. The certification authority server certifies the official personal certification information by linking with the settlement client, the settlement relay server, and the settlement server.

PURPOSE: A smart card equipped with the ICC(IC Chip) storage information to store a return access code, and a method and a system for sharing/linking contents using the same are provided to use diverse contents in a wired network system on a digital broadcasting network system by linking with the wired network system through the smart card. CONSTITUTION: For connection to the digital broadcasting system(100), the smart card receives the return access code for sharing/linking the return used in the digital broadcasting system from the digital broadcasting system. For the connection to the wired network, the smart card shares/links with the return contents through the return access code stored in an ICC storage area. The digital broadcasting system includes a return contents information extractor(160) extracting the return contents information from application information data included in broadcasting program data and providing it to the return code generator, a return access code generator(165) generating the return access code based on the return contents information, and an ICC interface storing the return access code to the smart card.

An advertisement click validity processing method, a system thereof, an information processing server therefor, and a program recording medium are provided to deny advertisement data click validity through a cellular phone of a user if advertisement data corresponding to received-advertisement data click information among one or more advertisement data is confirmed. An advertisement click validity processing method comprises the following steps. Firstly, cellular phone IC chip identity information of a user and advertisement data click information, including advertisement data identification information, are received. Advertisement data which is matched with advertisement data corresponding to the received advertisement data click information among one or more advertisement data is secondly confirmed. After that, advertisement data click validity through the cellular phone of user is denied.

PURPOSE: A Worm virus treatment method and system is provided to reversely trace hosts of clients infected by the Worm virus, to treat all the hosts on the reverse trace, and as a result, to eliminate an origin of the Worm virus. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises several steps. A client, infected by the Worm virus, accesses a Worm virus reverse tracing system(200). A virus scanner of the Worm virus reverse tracing system scans a system of the client(205), and checks the kind of the Worm virus(210). Then a Worm vaccine offerer of the Worm virus reverse tracing system transmits a Worm vaccine to the client system(215). The Worm vaccine treats the Worm virus on the client system, and installs a backdoor at the client system(220). A Worm of the Worm vaccine searches for an infection mail in a receiving mail list(225). If the infection mail is found(230), the Worm of the Worm vaccine copies the Worm vaccine to an address of the infection mail and transmits the vaccine to an upper hierarchical client system transmitting the infection mail(235, 255). Also, the backdoor transmits the mail data, found by the Worm of the Worm vaccine, to the reverse tracing system(240), an e-mail address extractor of the reverse tracing system extracts the mail address of the upper hierarchical client system(245), and transmits the Worm vaccine to the extracted e-mail address and then the upper hierarchical client system(250, 255).

PURPOSE: A method and system of providing keyword tree including related keywords and a writing device thereof are provided to offer more specific search service and confirm a keyword list related with a first keyword by providing the keyword tree while search service. CONSTITUTION: A search word input interface is included in the webpage provided with a client terminal(120). When the information of the search word is received through the search input interface, a search server(100) generates the keyword tree. The keyword tree includes the first keyword included in the information of the received search word and the keywords related with the first keyword. The search server provides the search result to the client terminal.
