Abstract

A system includes: a storage unit configured to receive an input query; and a control unit, coupled to the storage unit, configured to: identify input query components in the input query; detect a query conflict between one or more of the input query components; generate a conflict free query based on the input query components; and generate a query response for the conflict free query for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A computing system comprising:

a storage unit configured to receive an input query; and

a control unit, coupled to the storage unit, configured to;

identify input query components in the input query;

detect a query conflict between one or more of the input query components based on inclusion of the input query components in a conflict set, wherein the conflict set is a set of associated semantic concepts defining a scope of the conflict;

generate a conflict free query by replacing one of the input query components based on query context including a historical context, a user context, and a current context of a user making the input query, wherein;

the historical context includes past usage or behavior of the user;

the user context includes preferences and other factors associated with the user, including appointments and personal relationships of the user;

the current context includes events occurring at the time the input query is made, including communications received by the user, a time of day, a location of the user, and current activities of the user; and

generate a query response for the conflict free query for displaying on a device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to detect the query conflict from a conflict list including the conflict set.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to detect the query conflict based on the conflict set representing a set minimum.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the conflict free query based on selection of a query candidate.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the conflict free query based on a candidate rank of a query candidate.

6. The system claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the conflict free query based on modifying the input query with an alternate query component.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to generate the conflict free query based on a component attribute of the input query components.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the query response can include an error notification, an error explanation, an alternate query notification, an alternate justification, or a combination thereof.

9. A method of operation of a computing system comprising:

receiving an input query;

identifying input query components in the input query;

detecting a query conflict between one or more of the input query components based on inclusion of the input query components in a conflict set, wherein the conflict set is a set of associated semantic concepts defining a scope of the conflict;

generating a conflict free query by replacing one of the input query components based on query context including a historical context, a user context, and a current context of a user making the input query, wherein;

the historical context includes past usage or behavior of the user;

the user context includes preferences and other factors associated with the user, including appointments and personal relationships of the user;

the current context includes events occurring at the time the input query is made, including communications received by the user, a time of day, a location of the user, and current activities of the user; and

generating a query response for the conflict free query for displaying on a device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein detecting the query conflict includes detecting the query conflict from a conflict list including the conflict set.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein detecting the query conflict includes detecting the query conflict based on the conflict set representing a set minimum.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the conflict free query includes generating the conflict free query based on selection of a query candidate.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the conflict free query includes generating the conflict free query based on a candidate rank of a query candidate.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the conflict free query includes generating the conflict free query based on modifying the input query with an alternate query component.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein generating the conflict free query includes generating the conflict free query based on a component attribute of the input query components.

16. The method claimed in claim 9 wherein the query response can include an error notification, an error explanation, an alternate query notification, an alternate justification, or a combination thereof.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for operating a computing system comprising:

receiving an input query;

identifying input query components in the input query;

detecting a query conflict between one or more of the input query components based on inclusion of the input query components in a conflict set, wherein the conflict set is a set of associated semantic concepts defining a scope of the conflict;

generating a conflict free query by replacing one of the input query components based on query context including a historical context, a user context, and a current context of a user making the input query, wherein;

the historical context includes past usage or behavior of the user;

the user context includes preferences and other factors associated with the user, including appointments and personal relationships of the user;

the current context includes events occurring at the time the input query is made, including communications received by the user, a time of day, a location of the user, and current activities of the user; and

generating a query response for the conflict free query for displaying on a device.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 wherein detecting the query conflict includes detecting the query conflict from a conflict list including the conflict set.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 wherein detecting the query conflict includes detecting the query conflict based on the conflict set representing a set minimum.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 17 wherein generating the conflict free query includes generating the conflict free query based on selection of a query candidate.
