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.

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 and system for offering a product view and a recording medium therefor are provided to give a motive for making a customer prepare better product view by offering an incentive based on the evaluation score of the product view registered by the customer. An interface providing unit(405) provides a user interface for receiving link information of a web page where the product view about a product or service is registered. An information registration unit connects the link information received through the user interface with product information and user information, and then stores/registers the connected information in a storage medium(465). Correspondingly to the evaluation of the registered product view, an incentive processing unit(435) gives an incentive to a user.

PURPOSE: A call service operating method, a system thereof, and a wireless terminal thereof are provided to enable a passenger to conveniently request a call service by easily identifying an empty taxi in an adjacent location, thereby reducing the waiting time for the taxi call service. CONSTITUTION: A wireless terminal(105) receives call authorizing information corresponding to a taxi call service request information from a server(100). The wireless terminal transmits taxi riding information of taxi call service when riding to the taxi. A taxi call service terminal(110) transmits the call authorizing information corresponding to a taxi call service request information from the server to the wireless terminal. The server identifies one or more empty taxis on duty. The server transmits call state information including the passenger information who requests the taxi call service and taxi call service request information to an identified tax terminal.

A method for compositing an image or a video is provided to defocus an overlapped image through an interface, thereby controlling heterogeneity between a background image and a fill image. A mobile phone extracts a background image or a background video from a memory unit(170). The memory unit stores at least one background image or background video. The mobile phone makes a foreground image or a part of a foreground video transparent. The mobile phone overlaps a background image extracted from the memory unit with a foreground image whose part is transparent to generate a composite image. The mobile phone overlaps a background video extracted from the memory unit with a foreground video whose part is transparent to generate a composite video.

Method for compositing image(or video)

PURPOSE: A method and a system for offering a mileage through advance purchase are provided to enable a client to previously receive and use mileage of the advance purchase by making the client perform the advance purchase, and to enable a web server or a goods provider to perform the CRM(Customer Relationship Management) definitely through the advance purchase. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises a goods searching part(105), an advance purchase part(110), a mileage providing part(115), a purchase confirmation part(120), a mail forwarding part(130), a central controlling part(135) and an advance purchase database(140). The goods searching part(105) manages and searches the goods for the advance purchase of the client(170) connecting to a web site. The mileage providing part(115) previously gives the mileage for the goods to the client(170) before real purchase. After uploading the mileage data of the client(170) to the mileage database(145), the mileage data generated by the advance purchase is added to the present mileage data and stores it in the mileage database(145). The mileage data analyzing part(125) manages and analyzes the mileage data generated by the advance purchase of the client(170).
