DateBlock Rule for Spanish (United States)
.jpg) |
Retrieves the following kinds of dates:
| Date Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Hard Closed Date | Specified by a start and an end date. |
| Hard Open Date | Specified by a start date or a deadline. |
| Soft Closed Date | Specified by a common date unit. |
| Evaluated Relative Date | A period of time that is bounded by a start date and an end date. |
| Approximated Date | Future and past. |
The DateBlock rule is the only rule used to trigger all date blocks.
Hard Closed Date
A period of time that is bounded by a start date and an end date. The DateBlock rule returns both the start date and end date when an evaluated utterance is a hard closed date. The start date is contained in a StartDate element that contains, minimally, Year, Month, and Day elements. The end date is contained in an EndDate element containing the same elements.

Example 1
Assume the current date is Monday, August 19, 2002. User says: entre hoy y el próximo miércoles.
SML returned by the recognition engine:
<SML confidence="1.000" text="entre hoy y el próximo miércoles">

<Month name="Derived" confidence="1.000">8></Month>
<Day name="Derived" confidence="1.000">21</Day>
</EndDate>
</SML>
Example 2
Assume the current date is Monday, August 19, 2002. User says: desde el Año Nuevo de este año hasta el Día del trabajo.
SML returned by the recognition engine:
<SML confidence="1.000" text="desde el Año Nuevo de este año hasta el Día del trabajo" utteranceConfidence="1.000">

<Month name="Derived" confidence="1.000">1</Month>
<Day name="Derived" confidence="1.000">1</Day>
<Holiday confidence="1.000" text="Año Nuevo">NewYear</Holiday>
</StartDate>
<EndDate confidence="1.000" name="Holiday" text="el Día del trabajo">
<Year name="Derived" confidence="1.000">2005</Year>
<Month name="Derived" confidence="1.000">9</Month>
<Day name="Derived" confidence="1.000">5</Day>
<Holiday confidence="1.000" text="Día del trabajo">LaborDay</Holiday>
</EndDate>
</SML>
Example 3
Assume the current date is Monday, August 19, 2002. User says: a partir del Día del trabajo hasta el Año Nuevo.
SML returned by the recognition engine:
<SML confidence="1.000" text="a partir del Día del trabajo hasta el Año Nuevo" utteranceConfidence="1.000">
<StartDate confidence="1.000" name="Holiday" text="del Día del trabajo">
<Year name="Derived" confidence="1.000">2005</Year>
<Month name="Derived" confidence="1.000">9</Month>
<Day name="Derived" confidence="1.000">5</Day>
<Holiday confidence="1.000" text="Día del trabajo">LaborDay</Holiday>
</StartDate>
<EndDate confidence="1.000" name="Holiday" text="el Año Nuevo">
<Year name="Assumed" confidence="1.000">2005</Year>
<Month name="Derived" confidence="1.000">1</Month>
<Day name="Derived" confidence="1.000">1</Day>
<Holiday confidence="1.000" text="Año Nuevo">NewYear</Holiday>
</EndDate>
</SML>
The above example returns a start date that is later than the end date. Currently, DateBlock does not determine whether the start date is before the end date.
Hard Open Date
A period of time that is specified by either a start date or deadline, but not both. The DateBlock rule returns the boundary date when an evaluated utterance is shown to be a hard open date. If the utterance is evaluated to a hard open date with a starting date, the date is returned within the StartDate element. If the utterance is evaluated to a hard open date with a deadline, the date is returned within the Deadline element.

Soft Closed Date
A period of time that is specified by both a start date and an end date. The boundary dates are calculated from commonly used phrases that refer to dates. For example, the user might say, "the second half of the year." The DateBlock rule returns both the start date and end date when an evaluated utterance is shown to be a soft closed date. The start date is enclosed in a StartDate element that contains, minimally, Year, Month, and Day elements. The end date is enclosed in an EndDate element containing the same elements.

A period of time that is bounded by a start date and an end date. The boundaries are determined by evaluating a reference.
