Task/domain segmentation in applying feedback to command control
First Claim
1. A search server for finding an item in response to a search request by a user, the server having access to a plurality of specified sets of semantic information, at least one of which is associated with the item, the server comprising:
- means for determining a current task/domain associated with the user search request for the item, the user search request including one of a search query for a discovery searching task/domain and a signifier for a signifier mapping task/domain; and
means for weighting possible responses to the user search request so as to favor possible responses for which the determined current task/domain corresponds to the at least one specified set of semantic information associated with the item, wherein the specified sets of semantic information comprise at least one of an XML vocabulary, an XML schema, and an XML document type definition.

Abstract
An apparatus for responding to a current user command associated with one of a plurality of task/domains includes: a digital storage device that stores cumulative feedback data gathered from multiple users during previous operations of the apparatus and segregated in accordance with the plurality of task/domains; a first digital logic device that determines the current task/domain with which the current user command is associated; a second digital logic device that determines a current response to the current user command on the basis of that portion of the stored cumulative feedback data associated with the current task/domain; a first communication interface that communicates to the user the current response; and a second communication interface that receives from the user current feedback data regarding the current response. The current feedback data is added to the cumulative feedback data stored in the digital storage device and associated with the current task/domain.

10. A search server for finding an item in response to a search request by a user, such that an item that is associated with one or more of a plurality of specified sets of semantic information is preferred, the server comprising:
-
means for determining a current task/domain associated with the user search request for the item, the user search request including one of a search query for a discovery searching task/domain and a signifier for a signifier mapping task/domain; and
means for weighting possible responses to the user search request so as to de-emphasize or exclude possible responses for which the determined current task/domain does not correspond to the specified sets of semantic information for the item, wherein each item is indexed in association with its specified sets of semantic information and wherein the specified sets of semantic information comprise at least one of a vocabulary, a schema and a document type definition. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17)
