Dear Ali,
Do you have a patent app number, or a
patent issue number, for the SIRI technology? That would be useful for deeper
review of the patent.
Thanks,

Siri's (Apple) Patent Application
A few years ago Adam Cheyer and Tom Gruber were kind enough to present
an overview of Siri on ontolog ( http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2010_02_25 ),
were subsequently bought out by Apple and a few weeks ago Apple released Siri
as that "one more thing" part of their presentations - deeply
integrating it into the iPhone4S and their new iOS'es. Some claim it is a break
out point for mass acceptance of AI technologies, and its cultural /
technological consequences are on par with the mouse or GUI's.
Regardless, I thought people here might be interested in their patent
application, which is reviewed on this site:
An automated assistant operating on a computing device, the assistant
comprising:
- an input device, for receiving user input;
- a language interpreter component, for
interpreting the received user input to derive a representation of user
intent;
- a dialog flow processor component, for
identifying at least one domain, at least one task, and at least one
parameter for the task, based at least in part on the derived
representation of user intent;
- a services orchestration component, for calling
at least one service for performing the identified task;
- an output processor component, for rendering
output based on data received from the at least one called service, and
further based at least in part on a current output mode; and
- an output device, for outputting the rendered
output.
Fwiw, I believe that Leonid Kravets has misunderstood the
"language interpreter" claim, and I doubt Apple is referring to
Nuance, but the NLP/ontology interpretation that Siri is doing w/ the Nuance
speech-to-text strings...
Thoughts?
