Publication number: 20230236717Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Joseph E.

Publication number: 20220374110Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Pallavika RAMASWAMY, Cameron BURGESS, Gokcen CILINGIR, Mert DUMENCI, Rishab MEHRA, Ari WEINSTEIN, Ilkyu LEE

Patent number: 11442607Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ayaka Nonaka, Daniel Sean Hsu, Ian J.
