VOICE ASSISTANT-ENABLED CLIENT APPLICATION WITH USER VIEW CONTEXT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231333 titled 'VOICE ASSISTANT-ENABLED CLIENT APPLICATION WITH USER VIEW CONTEXT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discusses various embodiments that allow client applications to be closely integrated with a voice assistant. This integration enables the voice assistant to perform commands associated with user voice utterances and also seamlessly trigger native functions within the client applications.

  • The embodiments enable client applications to execute voice commands through voice assistant functionality.
  • The integration allows for automatic execution of native functions within client applications based on the voice utterance and user view context.
  • The technology intelligently switches to the relevant page and populates specific fields based on the user's needs and voice utterance.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:

  • Mobile applications: Voice-controlled navigation and execution of tasks within mobile apps.
  • E-commerce platforms: Seamless voice-based shopping experiences with automatic population of relevant fields.
  • Productivity tools: Voice-activated automation of tasks within productivity applications.
  • Customer support systems: Voice assistant integration for quick and efficient issue resolution.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Lack of seamless integration between voice assistants and client applications.
  • Manual navigation and data entry within applications, leading to inefficiency and user frustration.
  • Limited automation capabilities of voice assistants in executing native functions within applications.

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience through voice-controlled execution of commands and automation of tasks.
  • Improved efficiency and productivity by eliminating manual navigation and data entry.
  • Seamless integration between voice assistants and client applications for a more cohesive user interface.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to both perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. For example, some embodiments can automatically and intelligently cause a switch to a page the user needs and automatically and intelligently cause a population of particular fields of the page the user needs based on a user view context and the voice utterance.
