SENSOR BASED CONTEXT AUGMENTATION OF SEARCH QUERIES
First Claim
1. A computer program product for sensor augmented searching, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive, from a query source, a search query comprising a query concept;
determine a context of the query concept expressed in the query;
determine a response to the query;
validate the context of the query using at least one sensor; and
transmit the response to the query to the query source.

Abstract
A computing device and method is usable to augment search queries with data obtained from sensors. The computing device comprises a processor configured to receive, from a query source, a search query comprising a query concept. The processor is further configured to determine a context of the query concept expressed in the query. The processor is further configured to determine a response to the query. The processor is further configured to validate the context of the query using at least one sensor. The processor is further configured to transmit the response to the query to the query source.

8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving a search query; determining a context of the search query; determining one or more sensor classes that effect an information gain by providing additional context to the search query; determining a response to the search query based on the additional context; and transmitting the response to the search query to a user-equipment associated with a source of the search query such that the transmission of the response to the search query enables the user-equipment associated with the source of the search query to present the response to the search query via one or more interfaces. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system capable of learning, comprising a processor configured to:
-
receive a natural language search query from a query source; determine an intent of the query and concepts having a relationship to the intent; determine a response to the query based on the intent of the query and the concepts having the relationship to the intent, the response having a first associated confidence score; transmit the response to the query source when the first confidence score exceeds a threshold; augment the query with first sensor data to form an enhanced query when the first confidence score does not exceed the threshold; determine a response to the enhanced query, the response having a second associated confidence score; and transmit the response to the enhanced query to the query source when the second confidence score exceeds the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
