Abstract: In certain implementations, follow-up responses may be provided for prior natural language inputs of a user. As an example, a natural language input associated with a user may be received at a computer system. A determination of whether information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input is currently accessible to the computer system may be effectuated. A first response to the natural language input (that indicates that a follow-up response will be provided) may be provided based on a determination that information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input is not currently accessible. Information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input may be received. A second response to the natural language input may then be provided based on the received sufficient information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving user generated natural language utterances such as queries and/or commands and executing the queries and/or commands. A parser may be used to determine a domain for a user generated natural language utterance based on the content and context of the natural language utterance. One or more of a plurality of domain agents associated with particular domains are configured to receive and respond to queries and/or commands based on the natural language utterance.

Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods of providing in-view and out-of-view request-related result regions for respective result categories. The system may facilitate result presentation by providing, in response to a user request, at least one region that is designated to initially be in-view and at least one region that is designated to initially be out-of-view where: (i) the initial in-view region comprises one or more results related to the user request and a first category; and (ii) the initial out-of-view region comprises one or more results related to the user request and the second category. A result related to a category may comprise a result related to a specific topic, a result of a specific type, a result from a specific source, or other result. A user request may comprise a query, a command, or other user request.

Abstract: In certain implementations, advertisers may be enabled to determine in real-time (as user requests are received from users) whether to include their advertisements (or other content) as part of responses to the user requests (e.g., queries, command, or other user requests). As an example, upon determining a user request based on a user input of a user, an advertisement opportunity associated with the user request may be provided to one or more advertisers. The advertisement opportunity may, for instance, comprise an opportunity to purchase an ad placement associated with the user request. Upon determining that an advertiser purchased the associated ad placement, the associated ad placement may be allocated for an advertisement associated with the advertiser so that a response to the user request will comprise an advertisement associated with the advertiser.

Abstract: In certain implementations, advertisers may be enabled to determine in real-time whether to include their advertisements (or other content) with reminders. As an example, the advertisement opportunity may be provided to the advertisers upon creation of the reminder. The advertisement opportunity may, for instance, comprise an opportunity to purchase an ad placement associated with the reminder. Upon determining that an advertiser purchased the associated ad placement, the associated ad placement may be allocated for an advertisement associated with the advertiser so that an advertisement associated with the advertiser may be presented with the reminder upon a triggering event indicating that the reminder should be presented to the user. When the reminder is provided for presentation to the user, a particular advertisement associated with the advertiser may be presented to the user.

Abstract: Mobile systems and methods that overcomes the deficiencies of prior art speech-based interfaces for telematics applications through the use of a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and local or remote command environment. This environment makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network.
