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 for providing an expert recommendation search result and a recording medium are provided to enable a search window provider to activate a search window service through a web site, thereby enabling a web site operator to make additional profits through an expert recommendation search result page. CONSTITUTION: A method for providing an expert recommendation search result comprises the following steps. At least one recommendation search result data recommended by an expert and search keyword information corresponding to search result data are associated and stored in a storage medium. When a web page is provided to a client terminal(130), a search window interface for inputting at least one search keyword information is included in a predetermined area of a web page. Search keyword information inputted or selected by the search window interface is received from the client terminal receiving the web page. An expert recommendation search result page including at least recommendation search result data(120) associated with the search keyword information associated with the storage medium is generated. The generated expert recommendation search result page is transmitted to the client terminal.

A method for providing information by using comparison of user's bio information is provided to compare bio information provided from a user during payment with pre-recorded bio information to obtain and provide a health condition change of the user to the user, thereby enabling the user to check the health condition change easily at every predetermined period. Bio information from a user is received from the user when the user requests a self authentication process. The user uses bio information by a self authentication unit(200). The user bio information is associated with bio information providing date information and the user information and is stored in a storage medium(205). When the user requests the self authentication process of the bio information by the self authentication unit, the bio information is received from the user through a terminal(225). The received user bio information is compared with the user bio information stored in the storage medium to generate current health condition change information corresponding to a health condition of a providing date of the user bio information(240). The generated user health information is notified to the user(245).

PURPOSE: A method and a system for synchronizing a multi-user web browser using the P2P(Peer-to-Peer) are provided to enable the clients to enjoy the web surfing simultaneously through a same web browser by making other web browsers synchronized by a P2P network automatically move to a web page navigated by a specific client. CONSTITUTION: An IPC(InterProcess Communication) processing part(900) of a P2P application program(420) carries out a process for the IPC with a client web browser(410). A P2P network managing part(910) includes a function for configuring a P2P network and transferring a message and an event generated by the P2P application program and the user command data transferred through the IPC processing part to a P2P database(905). The P2P database stores the message and the event transferred by a P2P communication part(915) and the processing command data by the user input. The P2P communication part extracts the message and the event stored in the P2P database and the command data requested through a user interface(625), and transfers the extracted data to the P2P application program in real-time.

PURPOSE: A system for chasing an illegal copy and an unauthorized distribution of digital contents is provided to chase an illegal copy and an unauthorized distribution of an illegal contents being distributed on the Internet through a client agent such as an illegal contents chasing program. CONSTITUTION: An illegal contents chasing program(120) loaded in a client(115) chases Illegal contents which exist on the Internet or a P2P sharing network. Th chased result is transmitted to an illegal contents keeper(110). A
