  • Patent number: 11501211
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, devices, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for managing lifecycle of a knowledge base (KB) in chatbot systems. The method includes receiving an update request and updating a current-version KB as a new current-version KB. The method also includes receiving a first test request from a knowledge point (KP) operator and determining whether the new current-version KB passes a first test; and in response to the determination that the new current-version KB passes the first test, submitting the new current-version KB as a new submit-version KB. The method further includes receiving a second test request from a KP manager and determining whether the new submit-version KB passes a second test; and in response to the determination that the new submit-version KB passes the second test, storing an original production-version KB as a pervious-version KB and submitting the new submit-version KB as a new production-version KB.

  • Patent number: 8813206
    Abstract: An online content publishing and consumption environment can be modeled such that communities of content consumers (users), such as educational institutes and libraries, are categorized as Content Brokers; content providers, such as book, music, and multimedia publishers, and news sources, are categorized as Content Providers; and a Content Bridge, a standalone component providing the functionalities of the presently claimed invention in the online content publishing and consumption environment. The Content Bridge allows a simpler and loosely-coupled integration with lowered integration cost and effort, as the Content Broker is required to integrate once only with the Content Bridge instead of having to integrate individually with every Content Provider.

  • Publication number: 20100171696
    Abstract: The claimed invention relates to an interactive system for recognizing a single or a series of hand motion of the user to control or create applications used in multimedia. In particular, the system includes a motion sensor detection unit (MSDU) 100 and a motion sensor interface (MSI) 110. More specifically, the motion sensor detection unit (MSDU) 100 additionally includes one or more controllers 102; the motion interface (MSI) 110 additionally includes a MEMS signal processor (MSP) 120, a motion interpreter and translator (MIT) 140, an Embedded UI Toolkits 150 and applications subunit 160. The claimed invention also relates to a motion database 130 which stores the motion event pre-defined by the user or manufacturer. The motion database 130 also allows the user to define the motion database according to the user's preference.
