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.

Method of processing authentication

PURPOSE: A pattern image relaying method is provided to process a wireless electronic payment corresponding to the payment information by outputting analyzed payment information in a wireless terminal. CONSTITUTION: A pattern interpretation agent verifies the validity of a stored pattern image(310). The pattern interpretation agent corrects an inputted pattern image which is photographed and inputted(330). If the corrected pattern image can be interpreted through series of image correction processes(340), the pattern interpretation agent extract member information and payment information included in the pattern image(345). The interpreted member information and the validity for the payment information is checked through a wireless terminal user information(350). The pattern interpretation agent outputs the member information and the payment information to the screen of a wireless terminal(370).

Method for relaying pattern image

PURPOSE: A system and a method for managing OTP at a seed combination mode and a recording medium are provided to continuously verify reliability for the OTP generated through a mobile phone by authenticating whether or not the mobile phone is a valid OTP medium whenever the OTP is generated through a mobile phone. CONSTITUTION: A storage medium(270) stores OTP medium information, a terminal-side OTP generation information, and a server-side OTP generation information. If the OTP medium authentication information and the terminal-side OTP generation information are transmitted, a medium authentication unit(240) compares the OTP medium information with the OTP medium authentication information. An information configuration unit(260) produces OTP generation information by combining the server-side OTP generation information for an OTP medium with the received terminal-side OTP generation information. An information transmission unit(250) transmits the OTP generation information.

System and method for displaying otp by seed combination mode and recording medium

PURPOSE: A selective virtual object data operation method using a user condition, augmented reality apparatus, and recording medium thereof are provided to transmit effective information corresponding to a user request by providing customized information. CONSTITUTION: An AR(Augmented Reality) apparatus recognizes a real object by analyzing real data. The AR apparatus confirms output condition information for the recognized real object. The AR apparatus confirms the output condition information matched with user condition information(300). The AR apparatus confirms virtual object data(315). The AR apparatus outputs the confirmed virtual object data on the real object(325).

Method for Managing Selectable Virtual-Object Data using User's Order, Augmented Reality Device and Recording Medium

PURPOSE: A method and a system for supplying a remote extra curriculum using a distributed network system are provided to embody a real time interactive discussion and learning, and an interactive real time file transmission by performing a remote extra curriculum learning between a lecturer and a learner using a distributed network system without a relay of an intermediate router and a server between a lecturer PC and a learner PC. CONSTITUTION: An interface device(18) supports a communication on a distributed network and a TCP/IP network. A knowledge search engine(22) searches a file in a client(lecturer, student) PC(or server) being connected to the distributed network. A file sharing server(24) manages files being shared in the distributed network and shares/controls a file searched between the client(lecturer, student) PCs(or server) interactively. A remote extra curriculum group server(28) includes a component for performing a remote extra curriculum learning in the distributed network. An IP detector(25) checks an IP address and a port number of the client(lecturer, student) PC(or server) connected to the remote extra curriculum group server(28). An IM server(27) supports a mutual communication with the client(lecturer, student) PC(or server).
