Abstract

The presented is a tool and method for language presentation, browsing, editing, translation and communication based on Semantic Web, to be utilized as interface for collaborating software products and services or human-machine interaction. The conceptual system is extended to further include such objects as language components, sentence patterns or syntax rules, to get solutions for semantic logic representation devices, language presentation devices, semantic-language converting devices, the registry and delegation system, in forming a language-component-based system for browsing, editing, conversion and communication. It is always allowed to bring need-based control over the conceptual system and the registry with their scope and scale being kept at appropriate level; with a widespread community participation, the establishment of semantic-language converting device ecosystem will be important guarantee of a flexible and diversified language expression system; therefore to constitute the core of those pragmatic standards or specifications for machine translation, human-machine interface and the web system.

Claims

1. A pseudo natural language based human machine dialog device (5) comprising a computer dialog device having language text represented by one or more semantic-logic-representation devices (1) and one or more language-presentation devices (4), wherein,

a) said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) comprising one or more sets of machine codes represented by conceptual objects and/or semantic logics, and whereby at least one said semantic-logic-representation device (1) is generated for each or set of objects within a conceptual object model in accordance with class hierarchical or object containing relationships;

b) said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) having one conversion function (11) responsible for converting said semantic-logic-representation device (1) itself into said one or more language-presentation devices (4) abiding by different grammar or syntax rules according to a mapping generated on a one-to-one basis for each semantic-logic-representation device (1) to project into one or more language-presentation devices (4), said conversion function(11) taking the semantic-logic-representation devices (1) and language identity as inputs and returns a language-presentation device (4) searched from the said mapping;

c) said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) having one backwards conversion function(12) responsible for converting of a segment of text corresponding to one or more said language-presentation devices (4) into said one or more semantic-logic-representation devices (1) abiding by different grammar or syntax rules and programming requirements according to a generated one-to-one mapping for each language-presentation device (4) to project into one semantic-logic-representation device (1), wherein the said conversion function(12) takes said language-presentation device (4) as input and returns one or more semantic-logic-representation device (1) searched from the said mapping;

d) said language-presentation device (4) comprising a set of symbols for presentation of a text segment representing a constituent component in a document model with a set of semantic markups embedded to identify a semantic-logic-representation device (1) and/or other interpreter corresponding to the given segment of text; and

e) said pseudo natural language human machine dialog device (5) presenting said one or more language-presentation devices (4) to and accepts instructions from end users or third party applications through a set of computer interfaces in carrying out operations on a given segment of text while retaining unchanged integrity and legitimacy of said set of markups embedded, whereby a segment of text is capable of being focused according to input from a user or application based on the said markups embedded, said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) corresponding to the focused segment of text is located according to said semantic markups embedded and resulting in the associated conversion function (12) and (11) capable of being called upon in sequence to generate the content of semantic-logic-representation devices (1) thereafter resulting in a new version of language-presentation devices (4) in a different format or language.

2. A pseudo natural language human machine dialog device (5) of claim 1, wherein said conversion functions (11) is able to convert said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) by locating one or more corresponding said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) for each of constituent language components of a segment of text currently located and whereby said conversion functions (11) associated with each of sub-semantic-logic-representation devices located are capable of being called upon recursively until all implementation is fund to convert each said sub-semantic-logic-representation device into sub-language-presentation device resulting in at least one said language-presentation device (4) for said semantic-logic-representation device (1) is to be calculated from results of sub-function calls.

3. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 1, wherein at least one of said semantic-logic-representation devices (1) works jointly with a registry or index system, whereby said registry has one or more semantics-to-language converting devices (2) registered for each one or set of said semantic-logic-representation devices (1);

in accordance to services provided by the said registry, said conversion functions (11) is capable of being locating and delegating its implementation to said one or more semantics-to-language converting devices.

4. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 3, wherein each of said semantics-to-language converting devices (2) includes another conversion function (21), wherein said another conversion function (21) converts said one or more semantic-logic-representation devices (1), according to an input of a language identity parameter (6), into said one or more language-presentation devices (4).

5. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 3, wherein a process of construction, registration or indexing of each said one or more semantics-to-language converting devices (2) is based on a constituent component that is predicate of a sentence or a property of a conceptual object.

6. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 3, wherein an extensible registry or index system is to be used to allow users register and/or unregister said semantics-to-language converting devices (2).

7. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 1, wherein said semantic-logic-representation device (1) works jointly with a registry, said registry has one or more language-to-semantics reverse converting devices (3) registered for each said semantic-logic-representation devices (1);

in accordance to services provided by said registry, said corresponding language-to-semantics reverse converting device (3) is capable of being located according to associated semantic markups embedded in a focused segment of text before delegating implementation to said one or more language-to-semantics reverse converting devices (3).

8. A pseudo natural language based dialog device (5) of claim 7, wherein said language-to-semantics reverse converting device (3) has another backwards conversion function (31);

wherein said another backwards conversion function (31) converts a focused version of one language-presentation devices (4) into one or more corresponding said semantic-logic-representation devices (1);
