Abstract

A computer command panel and database system that is capable of receiving input in natural language either through commands or questions and returning the user'"'"'s request. Input is separated into sequences of word groups to derive the data location, action and subjects where instruction sets are created and put through a command interpreter to deliver the user'"'"'s request. Data is stored in a hierarchical data model that supports natural language querying. Network communication is possible to a remote server making extended data resources available via the Internet allowing a method to store as well as retrieve data. The invention supports a visual interface and keyboard, mouse, touch and microphone navigation to view data and to activate applications.

Claims

1. A method for selecting and retrieving data from a database comprising:

inputting a question or command to said database by means of natural language, independent of any predetermined category, group, title, or structure;

processing said natural language question or command in a command interpreter; and

retrieving and displaying said data through a user interface where a category, group, title, page, title number, and page number related to said data is displayed in the body of the retrieved data.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein natural language comprises any spoken language.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the inputting can occur through commands, keyboard, mouse, touch, or microphone navigation.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said processing step comprises:

dividing said question or command into command line sequences;

parsing said command line sequences with said command interpreter to establish corresponding category locations for each command line sequence.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein said retrieving and displaying step comprises:

matching each of said category locations to a corresponding category function directly or by a series of synonym functions where there is no direct match;

building an instruction set comprising the behavior instruction and location and search information for each of said category functions; and

returning said instruction set to said command interpreter wherein said command interpreter executes said instruction set to retrieve said data from a data model, said data model comprising databank, database, group, category, title, page related to said data.

6. A method for activating applications within a computer, network or server, comprising:

inputting through a user interface a request for an application to said computer, network, or server by means of natural language, independent of any predetermined form;

delivering said natural language request to a command interpreter;

processing said request in said command interpreter;

activating said application; and

returning to said user interface.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein natural language comprises any spoken language.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein the inputting can occur through commands, keyboard, mouse, touch, or microphone navigation.

9. The method of claim 6 wherein said processing comprises:

dividing said question or command into command line sequences;

parsing said command line sequences with said command interpreter to establish corresponding category locations for each command line sequence.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein processing comprises:

matching each of said category locations to a corresponding category function directly or by a series of synonym functions where there is no direct match;

building an instruction set comprising the behavior instruction and location and search information for each of said category functions; and

returning said instruction set to said command interpreter wherein said command interpreter executes said instruction set to retrieve said data from a data model, said data model comprising databank, database, group, category, title, page related to said data.

11. A method for selecting and retrieving data from a database comprising:

inputting a question or command to said database by means of natural language, independent of any predetermined category, group, title or structure;

processing said natural language question or command in a command interpreter, comprising;

dividing said question or command into command line sequences; and

parsing said command line sequences with said command interpreter to establish corresponding category locations for each command line sequence; and

retrieving and displaying said data through a user interface, comprising;

matching each of said category locations to a corresponding category function directly or by a series of synonym functions where there is no direct match;

building an instruction set comprising the behavior instruction and location and search information for each of said category functions and returning said instruction set to said command interpreter; and

executing said instruction set with said command interpreter to retrieve said data from a data model, said model comprising databank, database, group, category, title, page related to said data such that the category, group, title, page, title number, and page number related to said data is displayed in the body of the retrieved data.
