CONTINUOUS DIALOG WITH A DIGITAL ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233752 titled 'CONTINUOUS DIALOG WITH A DIGITAL ASSISTANT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant. It involves receiving speech inputs from a user, providing responses, and managing session windows with variable speech thresholds.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Reception of speech inputs from users
- Provision of responses based on speech inputs
- Management of session windows with variable speech thresholds
- Increase in session window duration for speech directed to the assistant
- Termination of session window if speech threshold is exceeded
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in various industries such as customer service, virtual assistants, smart home devices, and interactive voice response systems.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for efficient and accurate speech recognition and response systems for automated assistants.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience with intelligent automated assistants
- Enhanced accuracy in understanding user speech inputs
- Efficient management of session windows for better interaction
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in customer service call centers, smart home devices, virtual assistant applications, and interactive voice response systems, leading to improved user satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on speech recognition systems, automated assistants, and natural language processing technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in speech recognition algorithms, machine learning models for automated assistants, and user interaction patterns with intelligent systems.
Questions about Intelligent Automated Assistants: 1. How do intelligent automated assistants improve user productivity? 2. What are the key challenges in developing accurate speech recognition systems for automated assistants?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. for example, a first speech input directed to a digital assistant is received from a user. a first response is provided based on the first speech input. a session window is initiated, wherein the session window is associated with a variable speech threshold. a second speech input is received during the session window. in accordance with a determination that the second speech input includes speech directed to the digital assistant, a duration associated with the session window is increased. in accordance with a determination that the variable speech threshold does not exceed a predetermined speech threshold, the session window is ended.
