DYNAMIC DISPLAY ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MULTIPLE VOICE COMMANDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455553 titled 'DYNAMIC DISPLAY ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MULTIPLE VOICE COMMANDS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method that allows multiple voice commands to be displayed on a screen simultaneously. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The method involves a voice controlled device (VCD) receiving two or more voice commands.
  • Each voice command can produce a result that can be displayed on the screen associated with the VCD.
  • The method allocates a portion of the screen for each command, ensuring that the results are displayed separately.
  • The first result of the first command is allocated a specific portion of the screen, while the result of the second command is allocated another portion.
  • The method then displays the first and second results simultaneously on the screen, based on the allocated portions.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Voice-controlled devices such as smart speakers or virtual assistants can benefit from this method by displaying multiple voice command results on their screens.
  • This technology can be useful in situations where users need to see the outcomes of multiple voice commands at the same time, providing a more efficient and convenient user experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prior to this method, voice-controlled devices may have only displayed the result of one voice command at a time, requiring users to wait for one result before issuing another command.
  • By allowing multiple voice command results to be displayed simultaneously, this technology solves the problem of limited screen space and improves the efficiency of voice-controlled interactions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can see the outcomes of multiple voice commands at once, saving time and providing a more seamless user experience.
  • The allocation of screen space for each command ensures that the results are clearly separated and easily distinguishable.
  • This method enhances the usability and functionality of voice-controlled devices by allowing users to multitask and access information more efficiently.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method allocates screen space to two or more voice commands concurrently. The method includes receiving, by a voice controlled device (VCD), two or more voice commands including a first voice command and a second voice command, where a result for each of the voice commands can be displayed on a screen associated with the VCD. The method further includes allocating a portion of the screen for each command including, a first allocation for a first result of the first command and a second allocation for a result of the second command. The method also includes displaying, based on the allocating, the first result and the second result simultaneously on the screen
