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.

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 relaying a financial product and a system thereof are provided to distribute an interest supplying amount provided in a financial institution in accordance with the total depositing amount corresponded to a depositing amount of a client by opening an account in a financial institution supplying the highest interest rate with respect to the total depositing amount by adding to a client's depositing amount in accordance with a financial product. CONSTITUTION: At least one client(100) opens an account in a predetermined financial product. At least one financial institution(200) sells a financial product to the client(100). A service provider server(300) adds a depositing amount of a client(100) corresponded to a kind of a financial product and supplies a service for opening an account in the financial institution(200) using the added total depositing amount. The client(100) connects to the service provider server(300) using an on-line terminal. The service provider server(300) supplies a financial product relaying service with the financial institution(200) at an on-line through a series of processes being performed by the client(100) and a function included therein. That is, the client(100) connects to the service provider server(300) and selects a kind of a financial product, and deposits an amount responded to a selected financial product and opens an account. The service provider server(300) calculates the total amount of the depositing amount of a client(100) and suggests an auction of a financial product using the total amount.

PURPOSE: A system for processing a store order is provided to conveniently process an order to the POS terminal through the user wireless terminal by connecting between the application of a user wireless terminal and the application of a POS terminal. CONSTITUTION: An AP(Access Point)(170) is prepared to N numbers of stores. A user wireless terminal(300) includes application. An order processing server(100) outputs common order data through the application. The order processing server receives the product order information from the user wireless terminal. A POS(Point Of Sale) terminal(200) receives the product order information from the order processing server. The POS terminal converts the product order information to in-store order information.

PURPOSE: A method for managing parking and a customer using a smart card for managing a parking point is provided to induce the customer to a shop of a parking point provider by providing a free parking point to the smart card of the customer, and to obtain the CRM(Customer Relationship Management) information by generating buying information and the parking point matched with settlement information. CONSTITUTION: The parking point is stored in a memory of the smart card by providing the free parking point to the smart card from a parking point providing server or device. When the customer enters the parking lot, the entry time information is provided/stored in the smart card(525). When a buying activity is occurred in the shop by using the smart card, the parking point generated by the buying activity is generated/stored in the smart card(555). When the customer comes out of the parking lot, the user information, the entry time information, the buying particulars information linked with the parking point are provided to an exit parking terminal. The CRM information is generated/stored by using the user information, the entry/exit time information, the buying information, and the parking point use information(570).
