AUTOMATED ASSISTANT PERFORMANCE OF A NON-ASSISTANT APPLICATION OPERATION(S) IN RESPONSE TO A USER INPUT THAT CAN BE LIMITED TO A PARAMETER(S) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366172 titled 'AUTOMATED ASSISTANT PERFORMANCE OF A NON-ASSISTANT APPLICATION OPERATION(S) IN RESPONSE TO A USER INPUT THAT CAN BE LIMITED TO A PARAMETER(S)

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an automated assistant that can suggest actions to a user when they are using a third-party application that can be controlled by the assistant.

  • The assistant can suggest actions without the user explicitly invoking it, by allowing the user to identify action parameters instead.
  • The user can provide these parameters through spoken utterances, which can be detected by an active microphone indicated by the suggestion.
  • Once the user provides the parameters, the assistant can control the third-party application accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can provide a selectable action intent suggestion when a user is accessing a third party application that is controllable via the automated assistant. The action intent can be initialized by the user without explicitly invoking the automated assistant using, for example, an invocation phrase (e.g., “Assistant . . . ”). Rather, the user can initialize performance of the corresponding action by identifying one or more action parameters. In some implementations, the selectable suggestion can indicate that a microphone is active for the user to provide a spoken utterance that identifies a parameter(s). When the action intent is initialized in response to the spoken utterance from the user, the automated assistant can control the third party application according to the action intent and any identified parameter(s).
