Patent number: 11010563Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with task completion are provided. A natural language input may be received. A natural language processing engine may be applied to the natural language input. A primary task associated with the natural language input may be identified. A plurality of subtasks for completing the primary task may be identified from the natural language input. A determination may be made from the natural language input that the primary task or one of the plurality of subtasks is more important than other tasks. The primary task and the plurality of subtasks may be added to a list of tasks in a task completion application. An indication of importance may be associated in the task completion application in association with the task or subtask that is determined to be more important.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy Alexander Yates, Antonio José Consuegra Berruezo, Bernd Ingo Plontsch, Iurii Kondratiuk, Manjot Singh Pal, Selina Wang

Publication number: 20140310066Abstract: Techniques are described for using predictive pricing information for items to assist in evaluating buying and/or selling decisions in various ways, such as on behalf of end-user item acquirers and/or intermediate item providers. The predictive pricing for an item may be based on an analysis of historical pricing information for that item and/or related items, and can be used to make predictions about future pricing information for the item. Such predictions may then be provided to users in various ways to enable comparison of current prices to predicted future prices. In some situations, predictive pricing information is used to assist customers when purchasing airline tickets and/or to assist travel agents when selling airline tickets. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: October 16, 2014Inventors: Oren Etzioni, Alexander Yates, Craig A.
