QUESTION ANSWER SYSTEM USING PHYSICAL DISTANCE DATA

摘要

A question relating to an individual is received and context from the question is extracted. Subject matter criteria can be identified from the context of the question. A database containing history data that includes recorded positional data for physical objects relative to the location of the individual at the time of recording can be accessed and relevant physical objects from the history data can be identified based upon the subject matter criteria. A set of answers can be generated for the question from a corpus of data and ranked based upon the identified physical objects and physical distance between the individual and the relevant physical objects.

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving a question relating to an individual; extracting context from the question; identifying subject matter criteria from the context of the question; accessing a database containing history data that includes recorded multimedia data that contains positional data for physical objects relative to a location of the individual and over a period of time during which the multimedia data was recorded; identifying, based upon the subject matter criteria, relevant physical objects from the recorded multimedia of the history data; generating a set of answers for the question from a corpus of data; ranking the set of answers based upon the relevant physical objects and physical distance between the individual and the relevant physical objects; and providing the ranked set of answers.
