METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A SECURE AUTOMATED ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538773 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A SECURE AUTOMATED ASSISTANT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for receiving user input directed to an automated assistant, determining the need for data from a server and/or third-party application to fulfill a command, and obtaining user consent before transmitting a request for the necessary data.
- User input is processed to determine if external data is required for fulfilling a command.
- A prompt is generated to request user consent for transmitting a request to obtain the needed data.
- If consent is given, the data is obtained and used for fulfillment; if not, local client data is used for an alternate fulfillment.
- The request to the server and/or third-party application can be adjusted based on ambient noise captured during user input.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Virtual assistants
- Smart home devices
- Customer service chatbots
Problems Solved
This technology addresses:
- Privacy concerns when transmitting user data
- Efficient data retrieval for assistant commands
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced user privacy and control over data transmission
- Improved accuracy and effectiveness of automated assistants
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application for this technology could be in:
- E-commerce platforms for personalized recommendations
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Systems for user consent in data sharing with third-party applications
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle user data privacy concerns?
This technology addresses user data privacy concerns by obtaining user consent before transmitting requests for external data, giving users control over their information.
What are the potential limitations of using ambient noise for modifying requests to servers and third-party applications?
The potential limitations of using ambient noise for modifying requests could include inaccuracies in noise capture or interference from background sounds affecting the request adjustments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Implementations described herein relate to receiving user input directed to an automated assistant, processing the user input to determine whether data from a server and/or third-party application is needed to perform certain fulfillment of an assistant command included in the user input, and generating a prompt that requests a user consent to transmitting of a request to the server and/or the third-party application to obtain the data needed to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user consents, the data can be obtained and utilized to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user does not consent, client data can be generated locally at a client device and utilized to perform alternate fulfillment of the assistant command. In various implementations, the request transmitted to the server and/or third-party application can be modified based on ambient noise captured when the user input is received.
