  • Publication number: 20230388409
    Abstract: Systems and processes for accelerating task performance are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device including a display and one or more input devices, displaying, on the display, a user interface including a suggestion affordance associated with a task, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first user input corresponding to a selection of the suggestion affordance, in response to detecting the first user input: in accordance with a determination that the task is a task of a first type, performing the task, and in accordance with a determination that the task is a task of a second type different than the first type, displaying a confirmation interface including a confirmation affordance.

  • Publication number: 20230236717
    Abstract: Systems and processes for user configurable task triggers are provided. In one example, at least one user input, including a selection of at least one condition of a plurality of conditions and a selection of at least one task of a plurality of tasks, is received. Stored context data corresponding to an electronic device is received. A determination is whether the stored context data indicates an occurrence of the at least one selected condition. In response to determining that the stored context data indicates an occurrence of the at least one selected condition, the at least one selected task associated with the at least one selected condition is performed.

  • Publication number: 20220374110
    Abstract: This relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to provide intelligent contextual action predictions by the intelligent automated assistants. An example method includes, at an electronic device displaying a content to a user, receiving a user input on a display area of the displayed content, determining a content type associated with a content object of the displayed content in response to receiving the user input, extracting one or more data items from the determined content type, determining one or more action types of each of the one or more data items and one or more action parameters for the each of the action types, determining one or more suggestive actions based on the determined one or more actions types; and presenting, to the user, at least one suggestive action from the one or more suggestive actions.

  • Patent number: 11442607
    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process for performing a task includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, determining whether a shortcut criteria is met and in accordance with a determination that the shortcut criteria is met: displaying a first affordance corresponding to a first task of a shortcut over a user interface, determining whether the first task can be completed without displaying an application interface corresponding to the first task, in accordance with a determination that the first task can be completed without displaying the application interface, performing the first task while displaying the first affordance, and in accordance with a determination that the first task cannot be completed without displaying the application interface, displaying the application interface, and completing the first task using the application interface.

  • Patent number: 11360739
    Abstract: Systems and processes for accelerating task performance are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device with a display, displaying a candidate shortcut affordance associated with a user activity, detecting a first set of inputs corresponding to a selection of the candidate shortcut affordance, in response to detecting the first set of inputs, displaying a first set of candidate task affordances, detecting a second set of inputs corresponding to a selection of a candidate task affordance associated with a first task, displaying a second set of candidate task affordances, detecting a third set of inputs corresponding to a selection of a candidate task affordance associated with a second task, and in response to detecting the second set of inputs and the third set of inputs, associating the first task and the second task with a task sequence for a voice shortcut corresponding to the user activity.
