Hierarchical Context Specific Actions from Ambient Speech - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17920594 titled 'Hierarchical Context Specific Actions from Ambient Speech

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computing system that can provide enhanced control based on ambient interactions from a user. Here are the key points:

  • The computing system collects context data, including ambient audio signals.
  • Based on this data, the system generates a command path, which consists of a sequence of command actions.
  • The system presents an interactive user interface element that shows the command path to the user.
  • The user can select a specific command action from the command path using the interface.
  • Once the user selects a command action, the system performs that action to control the computing system.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smart home systems: Users can control various devices in their homes by selecting command actions based on ambient interactions.
  • Voice assistants: Users can interact with voice assistants by selecting command actions from the presented command path.
  • Automotive systems: Drivers can control in-car systems by selecting command actions based on ambient interactions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhanced control: The system allows users to control the computing system in a more intuitive and responsive manner.
  • Simplified interaction: Users can select command actions from a presented command path instead of having to issue specific voice commands or navigate complex menus.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: The system provides a more natural and user-friendly way to interact with computing systems.
  • Increased efficiency: Users can quickly select command actions from the command path, reducing the time and effort required for control.
  • Context-awareness: The system takes into account ambient interactions and context data to generate relevant command paths, enhancing the system's responsiveness.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing system can provide enhanced control responsive to ambient interactions from a user. The computing system can obtain context data including an ambient audio signal. The computing system can generate a command path based at least in part on the context data. The command path can include an ordered one or more command actions. The computing system can provide an interactive user interface element depicting the command path to the user. The interactive user interface element can enable the user to select a selected command action of the ordered one or more command actions for performance by the computing system. The computing system can, in response to providing the command path to the user, receive, from the user, the selected command action of the ordered one or more command actions. In response to receiving, from the user, a selected command action of the ordered one or more command actions, the computing system can perform the selected command action to control the computing system based on the selected command action.
