Patent ID: 6986104

Claim:
A method for use in facilitating electronic communication between first and second user systems that operate in first and second different semantic environments by converting a content of an electronic message between said first and second semantic environments, said electronic message having a machine format and said content, wherein said content includes human directed information, said first semantic environment differing from said second semantic environment with respect to at least one of linguistics and syntax relating to a subject matter of said content under consideration, said method comprising the steps of: providing a computer-based processing tool operating on a computer system; accessing via said computer system a first quantity of information reflecting said first semantic environment of said first user system, said quantity of information defining a first data collection; first operating said computer-based processing tool using said data collection to identify a first set of semantic elements that at least partially define said first semantic environment; accessing a second quantity of information reflecting said first semantic environment, said second quantity of information relating to said content under consideration; second operating said computer-based processing tool to process said second quantity of information relative to said identified set of semantic elements so as to convert at least a portion of said second quantity of information into a third semantic environment, thereby providing one or more converted semantic elements, wherein second elements of said second quantity of information are uniquely associated with said converted semantic elements such that each of said second elements corresponds to a defined one of said first elements; and using said converted semantic elements to process said electronic communication under consideration.
