MULTIPLE STATE DIGITAL ASSISTANT FOR CONTINUOUS DIALOG - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237362 titled 'MULTIPLE STATE DIGITAL ASSISTANT FOR CONTINUOUS DIALOG

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant.

  • A first speech input is received from a user.
  • A response is provided in return to the first speech input.
  • A first output is given corresponding to a digital assistant in a first state.
  • A second speech input is then received from the user.
  • A first plurality of values is obtained and used to determine a first confidence level for the second speech input.
  • If the first confidence level exceeds a threshold, a second output is provided corresponding to the digital assistant in a second state.
  • The process continues with receiving additional speech inputs from the user.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first speech input is received from a user. In response to receiving the first speech input, a response is provided. A first output is provided corresponding to a digital assistant in a first state, and a second speech input is received from the user. A first plurality of values is obtained. Based on the first plurality of values, a first confidence level corresponding to the second speech input is obtained. In accordance with a determination that the first confidence level exceeds a first threshold confidence level, a second output is provided corresponding to the digital assistant in a second state. The second speech input continues to be received.
