MULTI-ASSISTANT DEVICE CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17944600 titled 'MULTI-ASSISTANT DEVICE CONTROL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a speech-processing system that allows access to virtual assistants through an audio-controlled device. A multi-agent component coordinates device processes without sharing information between agents. Device-state information is sent to the speech-processing system to interpret user commands related to device process control.

The abstract does not address the security protocols implemented to safeguard user information within the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more virtual assistants via an audio-controlled device. A multi-agent component of a device may be used to coordinate control of device process(es) regardless of the invoked agent and without necessarily sharing information between agents and corresponding speech-processing system(s). Device-state information may be sent from the multi-agent component to a speech-processing system to interpret a user command. If the command relates to a device process control it may be routed to a device skill and to the multi-agent component of the device. The multi-agent component may track a device state and may inform a particular speech-processing system if a process related to the particular speech-processing system has been controlled.
