Patent number: 11922209Abstract: Systems and methods of invoking functions of agents via digital assistant applications are provided. Each action-inventory can have an address template for an action by an agent. The address template can include a portion having an input variable used to execute the action. A data processing system can parse an input audio signal from a client device to identify a request and a parameter to be executed by the agent. The data processing system can select an action-inventory for the action corresponding to the request. The data processing system can generate, using the address template, an address. The address can include a substring having the parameter used to control execution of the action. The data processing system can direct an action data structure including the address to the agent to cause the agent to execute the action and to provide output for presentation.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Jason Douglas, Carey Radebaugh, Ilya Firman, Ulas Kirazci, Luv Kothari

Patent number: 11664025Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to the generation of voice-activated data flows in interconnected network. The voice-activated data flows can include input audio signals that include a request and are detected at a client device. The client device can transmit the input audio signal to a data processing system, where the input audio signal can be parsed and passed to the data processing system of a service provider to fulfill the request in the input audio signal. The present solution is configured to conserve network resources by reducing the number of network transmissions needed to fulfill a request.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Gaurav Bhaya, Ulas Kirazci, Bradley Abrams, Adam Coimbra, Ilya Firman, Carey Radebaugh

Patent number: 9767789Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods that improve audible emotional characteristics used when synthesizing speech from a text source. Systems and methods herein use emoticons identified from a source text to provide contextual text-to-speech expressivity. In general, techniques herein analyze text and identify emoticons included within the text. The source text is then tagged with corresponding mood indicators. For example, if the system identifies an emoticon at the end of a sentence, then the system can infer that this sentence has a specific tone or mood associated with it. Depending on whether the emoticon is a smiley face, angry face, sad face, laughing face, etc., the system can infer use or mood from the various emoticons and then change or modify the expressivity of the TTS output such as by changing intonation, prosody, speed, pauses, and other expressivity characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2012Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventor: Carey Radebaugh
