Abstract:
A concept-based indexing and search system indexes collections of documents with ontology-based predicate structures through automated and/or human-assisted methods. The system extracts the concepts behind user queries to return only those documents that match those concepts. The concept based search and retrieval system comprehends the intent behind a query from a user, and returns results matching that intent. The system can perform off-line searches for unanswered user queries and notify the user when a match is found.
A system for providing a mobile communication device with information, the system including at least one server being communicable with the mobile communication device to communicate service choices and the information to the mobile communication device. Upon selection of at least one of the service choices, the mobile communication device augments the selection with data at least partially indicative of preference data and wherein the at least one server utilizes the augmented selection to identify information corresponding to the augmented selection. The server then communicates the identified information to the mobile communications device.

Abstract:
A wireless knowledge-based information-retrieval system includes a wireless communication device. The wireless device has a transceiver for sending and receiving communications across a wireless communication network, a software agent responsible for quickly and efficiently accessing relevant information and providing it to a user, at least one knowledge database, and a position-determination device for determining the location of the wireless device. The software agent takes information requests from the user and communicates them via the wireless network and the Internet to a knowledge agency. The knowledge agency comprises individual knowledge agents that take the request and search for relevant information in information resources such as the Internet and electronic databases and directories. The knowledge agency transmits the information back to the software agent, which delivers it to the user. The software agent may be configured as a conversational agent in order to maintain a dialog with the user using natural language and mood control.

The server then communicates the identified information to the mobile communications device.
The adaptive communication data retrieval system comprises a communication network, a communication device, a server, and a plurality of databases. The adaptive communication data retrieval system provides for sending and receiving personalized information from a communication device via a communication network to a server based retrieval system. The adaptive communication data retrieval system has an adaptive capability to learn and become more efficient at finding focused personalized information through learned usage patterns and/or historical data.
Incentive Campaign Management Computer System Implementing An Automated Social Reward System And Methods
Carlos I. Santaella - Boston MA, US Yuri A. Tijerino - Lindon UT, US Justin A. Nguyen - Carlsbad CA, US Duc N. Pham - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/02
Abstract:
An incentive rewards program that enables an initiating participant entity to dynamically specify incentive rewards point values with respect to defined activities that may be variously performed by other participant entities and by consumers. These entities are nominally associated with vertically aligned business tiers including a retail operator tier. The initiating participant entity is nominally only indirectly associated with retail participant entities associated with the retail operator tier. Retail participant entities record transactions that associate incentive program account identifiers with identified defined activities. These transactions are largely autonomously retrieved, parsed and qualified against the defined activities specified by the initiating participant entity. Corresponding sets of reward points are allocated from an account corresponding to the initiating participant entity to accounts corresponding to the account identifiers recorded in the transaction records.
