Abstract
Framework for receiving, processing, and re-using personal points of interest (PPOI) information of a user in a location-based application. A telephone dialog system provides location-based information related PPOI of a user. For example, the PPOI information can include major intersections that the user may normally travel, gas stations, clubs, etc., based on real-time data obtained via web services. The PPOI information can be acquired using common names and nicknames, which are added into system lexicon and recognition grammars. Each PPOI is also tagged to the user (or “owner”) who defined it. The PPOI information can also be shared to support a community of users. The framework also resolves conflicting PPOI information between multiple users and multiple locations. PPOI information input by one user can be used to extract demographic information and personal preferences and be re-used by other users by automatically popping up common names and attributes other users entered for the same nickname.
