Patent number: 8095476Abstract: Actions associated with entering information into different fields of an electronic form are monitored. The types of support provided for entering the information into the different fields can be dynamically varied according to monitored user actions or according to the context or categories of users, fields, or forms. Different types of query or search engines can be used to further identify the context, intent, or meaning of information entered into the different fields. The identified context, intents, or meanings are then used to provide further on-line support. Other analytics of both field entries and user actions can also be used to provide addition help when entering information into the on-line forms.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2007Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Inquira, Inc.Inventors: Gann Alexander Bierner, Sean Peter Handel, Stacey Anne Matinale, Bryan Dale Sivak, Roger Clifton Neel, Christopher Adam Mengel

Patent number: 8082264Abstract: An intent guessing system receives partial user queries as they are entered by the user. The partial user queries are compared with different intents derived from previously logged queries. Guesses are made as to which of the intents are associated with the partial user query. The intent guesses are then provided as responses to the user query. Features are identified for the earlier logged queries and associated with the derived intents. The derived intents and associated features are then used to identify intents for the partial user queries.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Inquira, Inc.Inventor: Gann Alexander Bierner

Publication number: 20110131210Abstract: A navigation system is used in combination with a data retrieval system to more effectively locate the correct answers or information in search content. The navigation system provides taxonomies that identify different information categories and sub-categories (facets). Classifiers automatically classify the search content by identifying the content corresponding with associated facets. The facets, in conjunction with the associated classifiers, provide robust classification and correlation between both structured and unstructured content. Rules can be used in conjunction with the facets and classifiers to automatically control different navigation operations. The navigation system can also leverage ontologies to dynamically create taxonomies and provides unique facet expansion and intra-document classification operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2011Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: Inquira, Inc.Inventor: Gann Alexander Bierner

Publication number: 20100205180Abstract: Linguistic analysis is used to identify queries that use different natural language formations to request similar information. Common intent categories are identified for the queries requesting similar information. Intent responses can then be provided that are associated with the identified intent categories. An intent management tool can be used for identifying new intent categories, identifying obsolete intent categories, or refining existing intent categories.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: Inquira, Inc.Inventors: Edwin Riley Cooper, Michael Peter Dukes, Gann Alexander Bierner, Filippo Ferndinando Paulo Beghelli

Publication number: 20080215976Abstract: Actions associated with entering information into different fields of an electronic form are monitored. The types of support provided for entering the information into the different fields can be dynamically varied according to monitored user actions or according to the context or categories of users, fields, or forms. Different types of query or search engines can be used to further identify the context, intent, or meaning of information entered into the different fields. The identified context, intents, or meanings are then used to provide further on-line support.

Publication number: 20080189163Abstract: An information management process generates channels that automatically send tasks to different users for different work flow stages according to different attributes assigned to the channel. The tasks may then be automatically sent back to the same users or to other different users in other work flow stages according to the channel attributes and conditions associated with the work flow stages. The information management process can be integrated with a search process and an analytics process to provide a closed loop information system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2008Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: Inquira, Inc.Inventors: Dov Rosenberg, Peter Eberlely

Patent number: 6957213Abstract: A method of utilizing implicit references to answer a query includes receiving segments of text, wherein individual segments have elements. Implicit references are inferred between elements of the segments. The inferring operation includes identifying implicit references to antecedent elements. A query is received. In response to the query, one or more segments are identified as relevant to the query based at least in part on the implicit references.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: InQuira, Inc.Inventor: Deniz Yuret
