Abstract: An electronic device for generating a personalized response from a virtual assistant includes a network communication circuitry; a memory; and at least one processor configured to, when receiving a user query including a wake-word, parse the user query to separate the wake-word from the user query; process the wake-word; extract wake-word related information from a wake-word database; parse the extracted wake-word related information along with a plurality of user preference information; classify information received from a wake-word parser; produce a wake-word context from the classified information; process the user query; and retrieve a query response from at least one knowledge base based on a plurality of action steps.

Abstract: Provided are a swarm control apparatus and an operating method thereof. In particular, a swarm control method, performed by the swarm control apparatus, includes: generating a first rule related to the swarm, based on an attribute of at least one node from among a plurality of nodes; sharing the generated first rule with the at least one node; forming the swarm including the at least one node, based on the shared first rule; detecting a change in the at least one node in the swarm; and changing the first rule to a second rule, based on the detected change.

Abstract: A mobile domain platform for subscribers (e.g. businesses, institutions, advertising agencies, partners, providers, individuals, and enterprises) to offer a text message based campaign to new or potential customers (users). A subscriber can create a mobile domain by selecting and registering at least one available keyword with a mobile domain platform for the subsequent processing of text messages sent to the platform which include one or more of the registered keywords. Also, the subscriber can register one or more keywords as a root for a mobile domain such that subsequent text messages sent to the mobile domain platform that include additional alphanumeric strings of text (root keyword plus one or more combinations of other predetermined keywords) can be automatically processed to enable one or more different actions. A mobile domain keyword is generally composed of one or more alphanumeric characters, and can be any one of a word, phrase, abbreviation, or character.
