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 credit card payment system is provided to make a mobile communication device request a credit card transaction, receive a transaction approval, and process the credit card payment by using an embedded voice recognition function. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises a mobile terminal with a voice recognition device. The voice recognition device includes a voice recognition interface(310), a low pass filter(320), a voice data comparator(330), a voice data storage(340), and a character generator(350). The mobile terminal embeds the credit card data, and enables a user to input transaction specifications with a voice by using the voice recognition device. The voice data is transmitted to the low pass filter(320) via the voice recognition interface(310) for filtering noises or regenerating distorted signals, and then being transmitted to the voice data comparator(330). The input data is compared with the voice data stored at the voice data storage(340) by extracting the features of vowels or their similar vocal sounds with a formant extractor and a fitch extractor included in the voice data comparator(330). If the input voice data is the same as the stored one, the input data is transmitted to the character generator, being converted into corresponding characters, and being displayed on a screen(370) of the mobile terminal.

PURPOSE: A system for offering an Internet AD(ADvertisement) matched with a client ID is provided to offer the IP(Internet Protocol) information and web pattern of a client to an advertiser wanting to the selective target AD and to selectively output the optimized AD to the client connecting to a contents provider through an AD server. CONSTITUTION: An IP information obtaining part(105) obtains the IP information of the client(180) connecting to the contents provider(100) from the client(180) and transfers it to a client web pattern information provider(125). A web pattern obtaining part(110) extracts the information requesting to the contents provider(100) from the client(180) in real-time and transfers it to the web pattern information provider(125). An AD output part(115) outputs the AD optimized to the client(180), transfers the IP information of the client(180) to the AD server(150), and outputs the Internet AD from the AD server(150) on a web page requested from the client(180).

System for Providing Internet Ad Coressponds to Client's Unique Indentifier

PURPOSE: A method and a system for outputting OTP with a multiple authentication mode, a portable phone, and a recording medium are provided to satisfy a two-factor authentication condition by generating the OTP of N digits. CONSTITUTION: A controller(105) and a screen display(110) of a portable phone(100) respectively correspond to a modem chip and an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display). A sound processor(115) and a key input unit(120) of a portable phone correspond to a microphone/speaker and a key pad. A wireless communication unit(130) corresponds to the antenna and various RF modules. A memory unit(145) and a USIM(Universal Subscriber Identity Module) correspond to a nonvolatile memory and an IC chip which stores universal subscriber identity information. A USIM reader(135) reads the USIM information.
