STREAMING TASKS IN A MULTIPLE DEVICE ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240379110 titled 'STREAMING TASKS IN A MULTIPLE DEVICE ENVIRONMENT

The abstract of the patent application describes systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant.

• The process involves receiving an audio input with a task and an application, performing the task with the application if available, or transferring the task to another device if the application is not available.
• The result of the task is then received from the second user device and provided as an audio output.

Potential Applications:

• This technology could be used in virtual assistants, smart home devices, and other automated systems that require task completion.

Problems Solved:

• This technology streamlines the process of task completion by automatically transferring tasks to devices with the necessary applications.

Benefits:

• Users can seamlessly complete tasks without worrying about the availability of specific applications on their devices.

Commercial Applications:

• This technology could be valuable for companies developing virtual assistant devices, smart home systems, and other automated technologies.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience in completing tasks? 2. What are the security implications of transferring tasks between devices in this manner?

Frequently Updated Research:

• Stay updated on advancements in artificial intelligence and automated assistant technologies to enhance the capabilities of this system.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. an exemplary process includes, at a first user device with one or more processors and memory: receiving an audio input including a task and an application for performing the task; in response to a determination that the application is available to the first user device, performing the task with the application at the first user device; in response to a determination that the application is not available to the first user device: causing performance of the task with the application at a second user device; receiving the result of the task from the second user device; and providing the result of the task as an audio output.
