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 method for processing a screen in a portable phone is provided to support other internet service, a wireless P2P service, a wireless data communication or a near field wireless communication without interruption of a currently served wireless internet. A method for processing a screen in a portable phone comprises the following several steps. A user of the portable phone accesses a wireless game content provider through the portable phone which mounts an agent manager, downloads the game content, and plays the wireless game via a VM and VM agent(900). A multiple communication processor of the agent manager checks in real time whether data pushed at the portable terminal(905) exists. If there exists an SMS message transmitted to the portable terminal via an MSC(Mobile Switching Center) without request of data transmission from the portable phone(910), the multiple communication processor checks whether the transmitted data is legally authenticated(915). If effectiveness of the transmitted SMS message is checked(920), the agent manager forwards process of the received data to an OS(Operating System) sharing processor(925). If no wireless communication agent matched with the received data(935) exists, the OS sharing processor drives the wireless communication agent matched with the received data(940). If the wireless communication agent is driven now(945), the OS sharing processor activates a screen or a view used by the wireless communication agent by using an MMI(950) and inputs the received data at a video memory matched with the screen or the view used by the wireless communication agent(955). An OS outputs the received data to the screen or the view via the video memory(960).

PURPOSE: A method and system for supplying a purchase reservation incentive using an IC(Integrated Circuit) card is provided to supply an incentive in accordance with an actual purchase for a client by reserving a commodity, and to use an IC card widely by checking purchase reservation information of the client through purchase information recorded in an IC card. CONSTITUTION: A client connects to an IC card provider through a wire/wireless network(200). The IC card provider receives purchase reservation information of a store and a commodity(205). The IC card provider checks and stores the purchase reservation information in a database(210). The client visits a corresponding store in accordance with the purchase reservation information, purchases a commodity(215), and uses an IC card as a price payment unit(220). Purchase information is recorded in the IC card used in the payment unit through a POS(Point Of Sales) or a CAT(Credit Authorization Terminal) in the store(225). The client connects to the IC card provider for acquiring an incentive(230) and transmits the actual purchase information to the IC card provider(235). The IC card provider compares the transmitted purchase information with the purchase reservation information, and checks whether an actual purchase is executed(240). If the actual purchase based on the purchase reservation information is checked, the IC card provider supplies an incentive for the client through an incentive provider(245).

PURPOSE: A system and a method for settling mobile phone by code combination mode OTP(One Time Password) authentication with biometrics, and a recording medium thereof are provided to transmit OTP medium authentication information to a server of a communication network by configuring the OTP medium authentication information including biometric identification information of a user and the intrinsic information of a mobile phone. CONSTITUTION: A server allows the provision of a mobile phone payment interface for an OTP(905), and generates an OTP for authenticating mobile phone payment. The server processes the OTP to be outputted through the user mobile phone. The server authenticates OTP validity for the mobile payment(910). If the OTP validity for the mobile phone payment is not authenticated(915), the server transfers payment error information(920). If the OTP validity is authenticated, the server transfers the validity confirmation result.
