Natural language intent and location determination method and apparatus

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and system to parse an unstructured, natural language input of a user, infer a semantic meaning of an intent of the user, and determine a present or future user state, including a location and a time, in which the intent can be fulfilled.

1 . An apparatus for computing to infer a state of a user in which an intent of the user can be performed, comprising:
 a computer processor, a memory, and a natural language processing hardware accelerator with:   an intent extraction module to determine the intent of the user from a natural language input;   a state of the user module to determine a present or predicted state of the user;   an intent-to-state matching module to match the intent with the present or predicted state of the user; and   an interface to receive the natural language input or a binary conversion of the natural language input and to output a notice regarding the match between the present or predicted state of the user and the intent of the user.
