Method for combining a query and a communication command in a natural language computer system

摘要

A method for processing a natural language input to a computerized system. The method parses the input to identify a query portion and a communication portion of the input. The system then determines an answer to the query portion, including identifying communication parameters from the communication portion. Upon determining the answer, the system prepares an answer to the communication and transmits that answer. If the answer requires information from a remote source, the system creates a subsidiary query to obtain that information and then submits the subsidiary query to the remote source. A response to the query is used to compose the answer to the query from the answer to the subsidiary query. If the system concludes that the query portion does not require information from a remote source, analyzing and answering the query locally.
