The present invention is a system, method, and program product that comprises a computer with a collection of documents to be searched. The documents contain free form (natural language) text. We define a set of labels called QA-Tokens, which function as abstractions of phrases or question-types. We define a pattern file, which consists of a number of pattern records, each of which has a question template, an associated question word pattern, and an associated set of QA-Tokens. We describe a query-analysis process which receives a query as input and matches it to one or more of the question templates, where a priority algorithm determines which match is used if there is more than one. The query-analysis process then replaces the associated question word pattern in the matching query with the associated set of QA-Tokens, and possibly some other words. This results in a processed query having some combination of original query tokens, new tokens from the pattern file, and QA-Tokens, possibly with weights. We describe a pattern-matching process that identifies patterns of text in the document collection and augments the location with corresponding QA-Tokens. We define a text index data structure which is an inverted list of the locations of all of the words in the document collection, together with the locations of all of the augmented QA-Tokens. A search process then matches the processed query against a window of a user-selected number of sentences that is slid across the document texts. A hit-list of top-scoring windows is returned to the user.

An apparatus, such as a communication device, is provided with emoticon input logic associated with an input key to improve the ease-of-use of the apparatus for entering emoticons, e.g. into a text message, while the apparatus is operating e.g. in a text mode.

A system and method for switching between the command-mode of operation and the text-mode of operation in voice-recognition systems. The system operates using voice-recognition software and a mechanical switch which together enable the system to differentiate between spoken commands that are used to operate the system and spoken words that are inserted as text into a software application. The mechanical switch can be added to a conventional computer mouse, hand-held or desk-mounted microphone, personal digital assistant such as a Palm Pilot, or any other apparatus either used with or having a microphone. Alternatively, the system and method can be implemented using software alone without a mechanical switch, i.e., an electronic switch, wherein a specialized word or words are used to command the system to switch between the command-mode and the text-mode. Such an electronic switch can be implemented in a mouse, microphone or electronic organizer in addition to or in lieu of any mechanical switch such apparatus may contain.

An apparatus for remotely operating a computer using a combination of voice commands and finger movements.

A method for automatically generating regular expressions for relaxed matching of text patterns. A received input phrase expressed in a natural language is determined to be a plain text pattern. The plain text pattern is automatically tokenized, thereby generating a first token list. Rules loaded from a predefined rule set are automatically applied to the first token list in an order specified by the predefined rule set to automatically modify a token list by applying a replace word, split-at-character or whitespace operator. The modified token list is automatically converted into a regular expression that matches the plain text pattern and one or more variations of the plain text pattern. A utilization of the regular expression for an information extraction facilitates a recall and a precision of the information extraction.
