  • Publication number: 20140136618
    Abstract: A method for searching target clients, applied to a mobile device coupled to a network, is provided. A target position and a target time are generated by a positioning unit and a time generating unit of the mobile device, respectively. A target clients search message is generated according to keywords input into the mobile device, the target position and the target time and then transmitted to a server coupled to the network through the network. Then a search result transmitted by the server through the network is received. The search result comprises at least one of a target clients amount, a target clients density and a target clients occurrence probability, which are retrieved from at least one social networks data and corresponding to the keywords, the target location and the target time.

  • Patent number: 8600729
    Abstract: A text conversion method and a text conversion system are provided. A term mapping table recording a term mapping relationship between a source language and a target language is provided. A tokenization process is performed on a paragraph in the source language to obtain tokenization results. The tokenization results are compared with the term mapping table to determine each source language term in the paragraph is belonging to a first type or a second type. The source language terms belonging to the first type are converted into corresponding target language terms according to the term mapping table. Regarding each source language term of the second type, one of multiple corresponding candidate target language terms is selected as the target language term according to a co-occurrence relevance of relevant terms, wherein each relevant term is constituted by one candidate target language term and words before and after that in the paragraph.
