Summary
The application relates generally to data processing, specifically to methods for parsing a user query. The invention is concerned with analysing the semantics (e.g. inferring the contextual meaning) of segments (e.g. words) of the user query.
The hearing officer followed the Aerotel approach, considered the AT&T signposts and found that the identified contribution of the independent claims did not make a technical contribution and that the claims are excluded from patentability as a computer program as such. The application was refused under section 18(3).
