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.

A method for processing customer authentication is provided to authenticate a customer connected to the first web server with a wired terminal by using a mobile terminal of the customer and allow connection to the customer based on an authentication result of the first web server if the customer connects to other web servers in the future The server receives customer ID information from the customer wired terminal when the customer wired terminal is connected(1020) The server checks or extracts customer mobile terminal information corresponding to the received customer ID information from a database(1030) The server transmits an authentication information request message added with a server connection URL(Uniform Resource Locator) to the customer mobile terminal through a mobile telecommunication company server by using the customer ID information(1060) The customer mobile terminal transmits authentication information by connecting to the server through the server connection URL included in the received message The server authenticates the customer connected through the wired terminal by using the received authentication information

Method for processing user authentication

PURPOSE: A method for providing a smart phone transaction using a data communication network and a voice call network, a system thereof, a smart phone thereof, and a program thereof are provided to enable a server to divide a data communication network from a voice call network, couple received information, and deal with a transaction requested by a smart phone. CONSTITUTION: A unit information determining unit(145) determines data network transmission information and voice network transmission information. The data network transmission information is transmitted through a data communication network. The voice network transmission information is transmitted through a voice call network. A data network transmission unit(155) transmits divided data network transmission information and unit information to a data network server. The unit information is not included in unit information of a division target. A voice network transmission unit(165) transmits voice network transmission information divided from the unit information of the division target.

PURPOSE: A method for evaluating a loss and processing an insurance of soil pollution is provided to make a user easily understand a result of the loss evaluation by simply inputting the factors for an area existing the facilities causing the soil pollution. CONSTITUTION: The client inputs the personal information and the loss evaluation factor data(805). A precise inspection expense and a recovery construction expense for the area existing the facilities causing the soil pollution are automatically calculated(830,835). The insurance goods fit to the client are provided by referring to the calculated data(840).

PURPOSE: A method and system for selling contents capable of absorbing a potential client is provided to search and purchase contents necessary for a client rapidly and easily. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of clients(100) may connect to a contents selling server(200) comprising a contents information database(310) and a contents purchase information database(320) through an on-line. Elements of the contents selling server(200) are described as follows. A contents registering module(210) receives contents related information being supplied from a selling client for selling contents and registers the information. A contents managing module(240) stores a registered module in a contents information DB or extracts contents selected by a purchase client from the contents information database(310). If a purchase event with respect to the registered contents is generated, the contents managing module(240) extracts contents to be bought and updates related information of the contents based on purchase information. A contents display module(250) classifies and displays contents stored in the contents information database(310), displays information related to the searched contents, links a homepage of the purchase client based on position information of a client bought sold contents. In case that a purchase event is generated by the purchase client, a contents selling module(260) receives purchase information and stores the information in the contents purchase information database(320), checks a price payment of a purchase client, and supplies contents being bought to the purchase client exclusively. A control module(230) controls an operation of each module and controls a data flow between modules.
