Method and System for Refining a Semantic Search on a Mobile Device

摘要

System and method are disclosed for refining a semantic search query through large quantities of dynamically created concept categories and their associated extracted values on a mobile device using only two filtering controls or buttons. The first filtering control is a Semantic Categorization Filter control and the second filtering control is a Semantic Categorization Selection control. The user queries a semantic search engine using text or voice controls. The results returned to the user imply the full scope of search results along with a dynamically created semantic categorization. The most relevant semantic categorization will be considered as the pre-selected category in the Semantic Categorization Filter control along with a list of possible dynamically created sub-categorizations and the Semantic Categorization Selection control will be pre-populated with other possible semantic categorizations of the result set.
