Method for providing information, method for generating database, and program
As audio (1) is input to an extension of a browser, the extension transmits the audio (1) to a language processing server. A speech recognition unit obtains a text (1) corresponding to the audio (1), and transmits the text (1) to a natural language understanding unit. In the natural language understanding unit, an information processing unit identifies a URL (1) corresponding to the text (1), and transmits the URL (1) to the browser. The extension passes the URL (1) to a browsing function. The browsing function uses the URL (1) to access a web server. The web server transmits a web page (1) corresponding to the URL (1) to the browser. The browsing function shows a screen corresponding to the web page (1) on a display.
1 . A computer-implemented method for providing
information, the method comprising:
receiving inquiry information associated with an inquiry intent through a user terminal, the inquiry information including at least one of audio and a text;
obtaining a conversation state, using a previous URL corresponding to a web page displayed to the user terminal, the conversation state including a common intent identified in an intent-URL database, wherein the common intent is the inquiry intent;
identifying an inquiry grammar conforming to the inquiry information;
filling a placeholder included in a response URL, wherein the response URL includes a URL slot corresponding to a slot included in the inquiry grammar;
obtaining a response URL corresponding to the inquiry intent, in accordance with a relationship, defined in the intent-URL database, between one or more intents and respectively corresponding one or more URLs; and
providing the response URL to a browser installed in the user terminal.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a slot in the inquiry grammar associated with the inquiry intent; and
determining a value of a URL slot included in the inquiry information.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising
obtaining a previous URL, the previous URL corresponding to a web page which is displayed by the browser at a time of input of the inquiry information to the user terminal.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising
obtaining the response URL includes generating the response URL by combining the previous URL and a basic URL, which is associated with the inquiry intent in the intent-URL database.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the response URL is generated in response to the inquiry information including a request for narrowing down information shown on the web page.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising
obtaining a previous URL, the previous URL corresponding to a web page displayed by the browser at a time of input of the inquiry information to the user terminal, and the inquiry intent is obtained in response to the previous URL being a predetermined URL.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining the response URL includes filling a placeholder, included in a URL associated with the inquiry intent in the intent-URL database, with at least a portion of the inquiry information.
8 . The computer-implemented method of 1 , further comprising
updating the relationship in the intent-URL database.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , prior to obtaining an inquiry intent using speech recognition via a browser installed in a user terminal, further comprising:
displaying an audio input feature via a browser installed in a user terminal.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
retrieving data associated with the response URL; and
displaying the retrieved data on the browser installed in the user terminal.
11 . A computer system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
receiving inquiry information associated with an inquiry intent through a user terminal, the inquiry information including at least one of audio and a text;
obtain a conversation state, using a previous URL corresponding to a web page displayed to the user terminal, the conversation state including a common intent identified in an intent-URL database, wherein the inquiry intent is the common intent;
identify an inquiry grammar conforming to the inquiry information;
fill a placeholder included in a response URL, wherein the response URL includes a URL slot corresponding to a slot included in the inquiry grammar;
obtain a response URL corresponding to the inquiry intent, in accordance with a relationship, defined in the intent-URL database, between one or more intents and respectively corresponding one or more URLs; and
provide the response URL to a browser installed in the user terminal.
12 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
identify a slot in the inquiry grammar associated with the inquiry intent; and
determine a value of a URL slot included in the inquiry information.
13 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
obtain a previous URL, the previous URL corresponding to a web page which is displayed by the browser at a time of input of the inquiry information to the user terminal.
14 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
obtain the response URL includes generating the response URL by combining the previous URL and a basic URL, which is associated with the inquiry intent in the intent-URL database.
15 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the response URL is generated in response to the inquiry information including a request for narrowing down information shown on the web page.
16 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
obtain a previous URL, the previous URL corresponding to a web page displayed by the browser at a time of input of the inquiry information to the user terminal, and the inquiry intent is obtained in response to the previous URL being a predetermined URL.
17 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
obtain the response URL includes filling a placeholder, included in a URL associated with the inquiry intent in the intent-URL database, with at least a portion of the inquiry information.
18 . The computer system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the computer system to:
retrieve data associated with the response URL; and
display the retrieved data on the browser installed in the user terminal.
