METHOD FOR SELECTING ELEMENTS IN TEXTUAL ELECTRONIC LISTS AND FOR OPERATING COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS USING NATURAL LANGUAGE COMMANDS

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/064890

A4

A method for controlling a program by natural language allows a user to efficiently operate a computer-implemented target program through intuitive natural language commands. A list of natural language commands related to the target program is compiled. Each natural language command is stored as an element in an electronic list. Natural language commands generally consist of short sentences comprising at least a predicate (a verb) and an object (a noun). A user can filter the list of natural language commands by entering the initials of a natural language command. The user enters the first character of the first word to be filtered, followed by the first character of the second word to be filtered, and so forth. Filtering by initials very rapidly reduces the number of choices presented to a user and minimizes the number of keystrokes required to select a particular list element.
