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.

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.

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 system and a method for double biometric certification are provided to fundamentally solve a problem such as malicious use possibility of biometric information and data. CONSTITUTION: The first storage(140) stores/manages the first biometric information of a customer(160). The second storage(150) stores/manages the second biometric information of the customer. Biometric information extractors(120,130) extract the first and the second biometric information from the customer. A biometric certification part(105) performs the biometric certification by matching the extracted biometric information extracted from the biometric certification extractor with the biometric information stored in the first and the second storage.

PURPOSE: A method and a system for furnishing the information on an article by using barcode numbers through the wireless Internet are provided to quickly and correctly transfer the information on an article to a client on the spot in real time. CONSTITUTION: A client(20) requests for the information on an article corresponding to the barcode numbers by using a user agent or a barcode reader user agent built in a wireless mobile communication device. The request data of the client is transferred to a wireless Internet gateway(30) through the wireless Internet. The wireless Internet gateway requests a web server(50) for the article information corresponding to the barcode numbers. The web server extracts expert communication number data corresponding to the barcode number and performs a communication with the client and an article expert. The wireless Internet gateway and the client are connected via the wireless Internet. The wireless Internet gateway and the web server are connected via the cable Internet. The barcode numbers are transferred to the wireless Internet gateway for the connection with the expert.

PURPOSE: An emoticon and avatar interconnection method and a system for the same are provided to interconnect an emoticon, input during a chatting to an avatar for making the other side effectively recognize an intention by changing looks of the avatar according to the emoticon. CONSTITUTION: The system comprises a chatting server(100), an emoticon server(105), an avatar server(110), and a central controller(250). The emoticon server(105) includes an emoticon search module(200), an emoticon extractor(205), an emoticon recognizer(210), and an emoticon database(215). The emoticon search module(200) searches for an emoticon included in chatting contents input by a client by referring to the emoticon database(215). The emoticon extractor(205) extracts the searched emoticon from the chatting contents, and transmits it to the emoticon recognizer(210). The emoticon recognizer recognizes a meaning of the extracted emoticon by referring to the database(215). The avatar server(110) includes an emoticon interconnecting module(220), an avatar image extractor(225), an avatar image application module(230), an avatar controller(235), an avatar image database(240), and a registered avatar database(245). The emoticon interconnecting module(220) receives the meaning of the emoticon from the emoticon recognizer(210), and transmits it to the avatar image extractor(225). The avatar image extractor(225) extracts avatar images, corresponding to the meaning of the emoticon, from the avatar database(240).

PURPOSE: A method and system for preventing digital contents from being copied illegally is provided to compare and analyze file system information installed in an operating system and file system information coded in the corresponding file or digital contents in the case that a file or digital contents are used in a corresponding computer or a computing system. CONSTITUTION: A server demon(1030) such as an HTTP server demon for supporting the WWW or an FTP(File Transfer Protocol) server demon for supporting an FTP is mounted in a contents supplying server on the Internet. Contents DB(1000) for being supplied to a client is connected to the server demon(1030). A client side FSI(File System Insertion) manager(1040) for searching and managing an FSI(500) which is mounted in the client and a client contents manager(1050) for managing the client who downloads contents are mounted in a server. An FSI D/B(1010) which stores the newest version FSI module capable of being used in each operating system is connected to the client side FSI manager(1040). A client DB(1020) which stores information with respect to contents which was transmitted to the client is connected to the client contents manager(1050). A web browser capable of browsing the contents supplying server and the FSI(500) which downloads digital contents being transmitted in the contents supplying server and inserts/stores coded file system information into the contents are mounted in the client. The client and the contents supplying server is connected the Internet, which supports TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol,1060) protocol.
