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 non-face-to-face card payment method using one time password and system thereof are provided to conveniently offer online card payment by enabling a user to use a number generator. CONSTITUTION: A registration processing unit(210) stores card identification information and fixed identification information received from a user terminal in a storage medium. A reception processing unit(205) receives the fixed identification information, one time password, and payment password using a separate one time password payment interface. An authentication processing unit(215) processes the receive one time password number using the fixed identification information.

PURPOSE: A web-hard operation and management method using CDN(Content Delivery Network) is provided to transmit/receive data to/from a conventional web storage device on Internet using a cache server of CDN. CONSTITUTION: A conventional global web storage system(510) is positioned at the Internet network. A local web storage system(500) is located at a cache server(210) provided by a CDNSP(CDN Service Provider). An ISP(Internet Service Provider) subscriber or a local network user can determine whether the data stores to the global web storage system(510) or the local web storage system(500) according to kinds and characteristics of data. That is, the data for holding in common with the same ISP subscribers or local network users is stored to the local web storage system(500) and the data for holding in common with all Internet users is stored to the global web storage system(510).

PURPOSE: A method for processing a gift certificate by linking with a card is provided to overcome a problem, such as possession, loss, and breakage, of the paper typed offline gift certificate, and enhance the use of the gift certificate and other settlement tool by making a client conveniently store the gift certificate to the network and use the gift certificate stored on the network with use of a credit card. CONSTITUTION: The information for the offline gift certificate held by the client and the information for the credit card to load the gift certificate are provided to a terminal(205). The terminal requests an approval for the gift certificate by transmitting the gift certificate information to a gift certificate approval server(210). The gift certificate completely processing the approval is stored in a database on the network by linking with the credit card information(225). When the client uses the gift certificate linked with the credit card, the gift certificate stored in the database by linking with the credit card information is used.
