UNDOING APPLICATION OPERATION(S) VIA USER INTERACTION(S) WITH AN AUTOMATED ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211120 titled 'UNDOING APPLICATION OPERATION(S) VIA USER INTERACTION(S) WITH AN AUTOMATED ASSISTANT
The abstract describes an automated assistant that can revert various applications to prior states based on user inputs, such as a spoken "undo" command. The assistant can identify the application to be affected and the operations to be undone, providing the user with undo options.
- Automated assistant for reverting applications to prior states
- User input triggers such as spoken "undo" command
- Identification of application and recent operations
- Provision of undo options to the user
- Clusters of operations to be undone can be selected by the user
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be applied in software development, user interface design, and productivity tools to enhance user experience and efficiency.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the need for quick and easy undo functionality in applications, reducing user frustration and improving workflow.
- Benefits:**
- Improved user experience - Increased productivity - Enhanced control over application states
- Commercial Applications:**
Title: Automated Assistant for Application Reversion This technology could be utilized in software development tools, productivity applications, and user interface design software to streamline user interactions and improve overall user satisfaction.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does the automated assistant identify the operations to be undone in a particular application? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can perform operations to revert various applications to prior states that the applications may have arrived at via certain user inputs. the user can provide a spoken utterance such as, “undo,” in order to cause the automated assistant to identify a particular application that the user may want to affect with the “undo” command. when the particular application is identified, the automated assistant can identify one or more operations recently performed using the particular application. in some implementations, the automated assistant can provide the user with a variety of undo options in response to an “undo” command. for instance, the automated assistant can prompt the user to select one of a first cluster of operations and/or a second cluster of operations to be undone, and each cluster can refer to different operations.
