  • Patent number: 8175990
    Abstract: A situational decision engine (SDE) operates within a mobile device or server to present a user with display content specifically optimized to the user's present situation. By acquiring characteristics about the user's present situation, the SDE is capable of analyzing the general state of the user and make decisions about presenting information with situational relevance. With the SDE, promoters and marketing firms may target user incentives and present the incentives based on a correlation of incentive features and the users context. After acquiring key characteristics of a user's context, the SDE analyzes and determines an optimal correlation to available incentives. By optimizing the matching of a promotion, an ad, or a survey to the user's situation, maximum benefit to both user and the promoter may be realized. By analyzing a user's context and presenting display content accordingly, the SDE is able to optimize the user's experience.

  • Patent number: 7558819
    Abstract: Roughly described, a natural language interpretation system develops its interpretation in response to user input, and also in dependence upon the interpretation, rather than the claims, made in response to prior input. In policy conditions, an agent can check whether any specified agent contributed to the prior interpretation and adjust its claiming of the present input accordingly. In policy actions, a policy or agent can reference the prior interpretation both for conditioning the policy's or agent's contribution to the current interpretation, and also for incorporating part or all of the prior interpretation in the policy's or agent's contribution to the current interpretation. The resulting system thus implements dialoging in a distributed manner as part of the various agents in the interpretation network, and allows much more flexibility to better respond in accordance with users' expectations.
