  • Patent number: 9384292
    Abstract: Map service techniques are described. In an implementation, text is received from an application for processing by one or more linguistic services. Based on service properties of respective linguistic services that are relevant to the application, particular linguistic services are designated to be available for use by the application and one or more other linguistic services are obscured from the application. A communication is formed to communication the text to a designated linguistic service.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8503715
    Abstract: Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, values representing individual text characters in a string of one or more text characters are identified to determine which human writing system is associated with the individual text characters. The values are compared to a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems. The values are determined to be within a particular subset of values in the table that correspond to a particular human writing system. A particular human writing system is designated as associated with the string based on the values associated with the individual text characters in the string being within the particular subset of values that corresponds with the particular human writing system.

  • Patent number: 8266514
    Abstract: Map service techniques are described. In an implementation, one or more computer-readable media comprise instructions that are executable by a computer to recognize from text an action that is performable by a particular one of a plurality of webpages and parse a set of parameters from the text to be passed to the particular said webpage to cause the webpage to perform the action.

  • Patent number: 8180626
    Abstract: Language detection techniques are described. In implementation, a method comprises determining which human writing system is associated with text characters in a string based on values representing the text characters. When the values are associated with more than one human language, the string is compared with a targeted dictionary to identify a corresponding human language associated with the string. Linguistic services are designated to be available based on service properties of the linguistic services and based on the corresponding human language associated with the string.

  • Patent number: 8019596
    Abstract: Linguistic service platform techniques are described. In implementations, one or more computer-readable media comprise instructions that are executable by a computer to designate a linguistic service having a particular property responsive to an application program interface call specifying the property. Communication may be brokered between the linguistic service and the application so that communication occurs without the application directly communicating with the linguistic service.
