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 and a method for outputting a advertisement data and a program recording medium are provided to maximize an advertisement effect by displaying an advertisement video clip corresponding to the advertisement contents according to an intention of a viewer. A contents search interface provider(110) connects with an interface(105), and provides multimedia contents searching interface screen for searching the multimedia contents stored in the contents database(150) to contents playback terminal(155). A search word receiver(125) receives searching keyword information for searching the multimedia contents from the content playback program equipped in a contents registration terminal. A contents searching unit(130) searches playback target multimedia contents corresponding to the searching keyword information received from the contents DB.

PURPOSE: A method for setting an order value per a shop group, a smart phone therefor, and a program therefor are provided to automatically load an application to be used in a shop when a user stands up in the shop. CONSTITUTION: An order information configuring unit(160) configures order information by combining j order values which are set by t order interfaces. An order unit(165) configures order request information to be supplied to terminals of an n store. The order unit receives orders by transmitting the order request information to the terminals of the n store through an n access point of the n store. A payment processing unit(170) pays costs, which are calculated from the j order values through a payment unit of a user, by the received order.

A hands-free device for discerning a driver and a system and a method for discerning the driver by using the hands-free device are provided to supply terminal discerning information obtained from a wireless terminal to a driver discerning unit of a telematics device or a car computing system through a communication unit located between the hands-free device and the telematics device or the car computing system. A DB(DataBase)(855) associates intrinsic discrimination information on a wireless terminal with driver discrimination information, and stores the associated information. A discrimination information processor extracts the intrinsic discrimination information on the wireless terminal from the wireless terminal. A driver discerning unit(810) compares the extracted discrimination information with the stored discrimination information, and extracts the driver discrimination information based on the compared results, then discerns a car driver.
