DISCOVERING DIGITAL ASSISTANT TASKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961223 titled 'DISCOVERING DIGITAL ASSISTANT TASKS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant.
- The systems and processes are designed to receive user inputs requesting potential tasks that can be performed by a digital assistant on an electronic device.
- The electronic device has processors and memory to process and store the user inputs.
- Based on the context provided in the user input, the systems and processes determine a textual representation of an utterance that can be used to perform the requested task.
- This textual representation is then displayed as an affordance, or a visual cue, on the user interface of the electronic device's screen.
- The affordance helps the user understand and interact with the digital assistant to perform the desired task.
