GENERATING AND TRANSMITTING INVOCATION REQUEST TO APPROPRIATE THIRD-PARTY AGENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100446 titled 'GENERATING AND TRANSMITTING INVOCATION REQUEST TO APPROPRIATE THIRD-PARTY AGENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for an automated assistant to selectively use a third-party agent to perform specific actions during a conversation with a user. The third-party agent is chosen based on parameters determined during the conversation, and the automated assistant sends a request to the chosen agent with the necessary parameters.
- The technology allows an automated assistant to use a third-party agent to perform actions during a conversation with a user.
- The third-party agent is selected based on parameters determined during the conversation.
- The automated assistant sends a request to the chosen third-party agent with the necessary parameters.
Potential Applications
- Virtual assistants that can interact with various third-party services to perform tasks for users.
- Chatbots that can seamlessly integrate with different platforms and services to provide a wide range of functionalities.
- Customer service bots that can access specific systems or databases to retrieve information or perform actions on behalf of users.
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the integration of third-party services into automated assistants.
- Allows for dynamic selection of the most appropriate third-party agent based on the conversation context.
- Provides a standardized way for automated assistants to interact with different third-party agents.
Benefits
- Enhanced functionality and capabilities of automated assistants by leveraging the services of third-party agents.
- Improved user experience by seamlessly integrating with various platforms and services.
- Increased efficiency and productivity by automating tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some implementations are directed to selective invocation of a particular third-party (3P) agent by an automated assistant to achieve an intended action determined by the automated assistant during a dynamic dialog between the automated assistant and a user. In some of those implementations, the particular 3P agent is invoked with value(s) for parameter(s) that are determined during the dynamic dialog; and/or the particular 3P agent is selected, from a plurality of candidate 3P agents, for invocation based on the determined value(s) for the parameter(s) and/or based on other criteria. In some of those implementations, the automated assistant invokes the particular 3P agent by transmitting, to the particular 3P agent, a 3P invocation request that includes the determined value(s) for the parameter(s).
