Abstract

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for encoding and retrieving information from a variety of sources using novel search techniques. The systems and methods of the invention are capable of extracting all types of structural and relational information from a query or a source data allowing for the recognition of subtle differences in meaning. The capability of discerning subtle differences in meaning that are beyond the search systems and methods presently available, the invention described herein is capable of repeatedly providing accurate and meaningful responses to a diverse set of queries.

Claims

1. A method for receiving a syntactically accurate response to a query from a device using a network, the method comprising:

a) configuring the device to function as a unique client on the network;

b) providing the query from a user to the device; and

,

c) receiving from the device a syntactically accurate response to the query.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the syntactically accurate response comprises:

a) at least one sentence containing at least one word; and

b) positional relationships among the words of the sentence such that the sentence is syntactically correct.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the network comprises a text messaging service.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the network comprises a text messaging gateway to text messaging devices.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the network comprises a connection to a text messaging device over a wireless network.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the network comprises an instant messaging service.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the query from a user to a device comprises:

a) collecting an audio input from the user; and

b) converting the audio input into a digital textual representation.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the query from a user to a device comprises:

a) collecting a handwritten input from the user; and

b) converting the handwritten input into a digital textual representation.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the query from a user to a device comprises a collecting a digital textual representation from a digital input device, including a keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen, numeric entry pad, telephonic device, personal electronic device or stylus.

13. The method of claim 6, wherein providing the query from a user to a device comprises entering a digital textual representation of the query into an instant messaging client for an instant messaging service.

14. The method of claim 3, wherein providing the query from a user to a device comprises entering a digital textual representation of the query into a text messaging device for a text messaging service.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the query is an analog input.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the analog input is handwritten input.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the analog input is an audio signal.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the syntactically accurate response received from the device is an audio signal.

21. A method for receiving a syntactically accurate response to a query from a device using an instant messaging service comprising:

a) configuring the device to function as an instant messaging client for the instant messaging service;

b) providing the query to the device using the instant messaging service; and

,

c) receiving from the device the syntactically accurate response to the query.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein configuring the device to function as an instant messaging client for the instant messaging service comprises:

a) registering a unique login with the an instant messenger service; and

b) programming the device to login to the instant messenger service using the unique login.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein providing the query to the device using the instant messaging service comprises:

a) logging into the instant messaging service;

b) identifying the device using a unique login registered for the device; and

c) sending the query to the device over the instant messaging service.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the syntactically accurate response to the query is received by the instant messaging client through the instant messaging service.

25. A device for providing a syntactically accurate response to a query from a user using a network, comprising:

a) a network interface to connect to the network and communicate with the user; and

,

b) a processing module for responding to the query wherein the word relationships of the query are used to identify the syntactically accurate response.

26. The device of claim 25, wherein the syntactically accurate response comprises:

a) at least one sentence containing at least one word; and

b) positional relationships among the words of the sentence such that the sentence is syntactically correct.

27. The device of claim 25, wherein the network interface comprises:

a) a unique login to an instant messaging service; and

b) an instant messaging client capable of logging into the instant messaging service using the unique login.

28. The device of claim 25, wherein the network interface comprises a connection to a text messaging service.

29. The device of claim 28, wherein the connection to a text messaging service comprises a connection to a gateway to a text messaging network.

30. The device of claim 28, wherein the connection to a text messaging service comprises a connection to a text messaging device over a wireless network
