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 system for operating an AD providing policy is provided to enable an advertiser to pay an AD charge after verification of a desired AD efficiency by receiving AD providing policy information from an advertiser client and calculating the AD charge for AD performed according to the AD providing policy information. An information receiver(105) receives AD providing policy selection information from the advertiser client(140). An information storing part(110) links/stores the AD providing policy information and advertiser client information to a storage medium(135). An information collector(115) collects response information from customers if the AD of the advertiser client is provided. An information analyzer(120) calculates the number of ADs corresponding to the AD providing policy information and/or AD providing efficiency by comparing the customer response information with the AD providing policy information. An AD charge payment part(130) calculates price information corresponding to a calculation result within a prepayment of the advertiser.

PURPOSE: A method and system for a lending service of a partial page or a specific frame of a web site is provided to make a client receive services from two web sites(rental site provider and rental site operator site) simultaneously in one web site by renting a partial page or a specific frame of a web site to a specific web site, thereby enabling an operator of the rental site to manage the partial page or the specific frame of the web site CONSTITUTION: If an Internet user connects to a web site of a rental site provider(200), the rental site provider supplies contents to the user and reserves a rental area in web browser of the user for supplying a service, and a rental site distributing unit extracts information of the user for selecting an operator of the rental site who supplies contents to the user through the rental area(205) The rental site-distributing unit selects a proper operator through the user's information(210) and connects the user to the operator(215) The operator supplies contents to a reserved rental area(220) A rental site-processing unit records the result in its database and transmits the result to the rental site provider(225) The rental site provider updates the user's information based on the result(230) and calculates a site rent(235)

System and Method for lease service of a partial frame or specified frame at website

PURPOSE: A wireless OTP(One Time Password) operation method using a user medium, a system thereof, a wireless terminal for the same and a recording medium thereof are provided to not enable a third party to use an OTP maliciously even a wireless terminal is stolen/extorted. CONSTITUTION: An information configuration device checks user medium information and server-side OTP generation information related to wireless terminal inherent information from a storing medium. The information configuration device configures OTP generation information including a seed value corresponding to the user medium information and a seed value including the server-side OTP generation information. An authentication device(245) generates an OTP through OTP generation information. The authentication device compares a received OTP and the generated OTP. The OTP authentication device authenticates the received OTP validity.
