  • Publication number: 20220308718
    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

  • Patent number: 11403064
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing the content capture experience on computing devices. In an implementation, a combined user input comprises a voice signal and a touch gesture sustained at least partially coincident with the voice signal. An occurrence of the combined user input triggers the identification of an associated content object which may then be associated with a captured version of the voice signal. Such an advance provides users with a new framework for interacting with their devices, applications, and surroundings.

  • Patent number: 10901520
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein that relate to user input combined from spatial gestures and voice. A combined user input allows users to interact more fluidly with their surroundings when, for example, taking pictures, recording video, or controlling remote services or devices. In various implementations, one or more components of a computing device identify an occurrence of a combined user input such as a spoken utterance and a spatial gesture made with the device at least partially coincident with the spoken utterance. The one or more components identify a content capture experience associated with the combined user input and invoke the content capture experience on the device.

  • Patent number: 8499251
    Abstract: One or more pages are displayed on a touch display. A page-turning gesture directed to a displayed page is recognized. Responsive to such recognition, a virtual page turn is displayed on the touch display. The virtual page turn actively follows the page-turning gesture. The virtual page turn curls a lifted portion of the page to progressively reveal a back side of the page while progressively revealing a front side of a subsequent page. A lifted portion of the page is given an increased transparency that allows the back side of the page to be viewed through the front side of the page. A page-flipping gesture quickly flips two or more pages.

  • Patent number: 8330733
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive electronic display device including one or more touch-sensitive display screens and interface software. The touch-sensitive display screen(s) and interface software are configured to be responsive to touch inputs and, in the case of a multi-screen workspace, the interface software is operable to allow inputs made in connection with a first screen to generate an inertial movement of a displayed object which results in the object moving to and coming to rest on another of the screens. The touch-sensitive screen and interface software may also be configured to receive hand touch inputs and pen touch inputs, with the interface software being operable to dynamically mask regions of the touch-sensitive display to discriminate between or selectively permit/reject different types of inputs.

  • Patent number: 8319736
    Abstract: Touch sensitive computing systems and methods are provided. The touch sensitive computing device may include a touch sensitive display configured to receive a touch input. A gesture recognition module may be coupled with the touch sensitive display, and may be configured to receive the touch input. The gesture recognition module may also be configured to determine, based on the touch input, and by selecting from a plurality of different predefined gestures, a recognized gesture that corresponds to the touch input. The touch sensitive computing device may also include a personal information management (PIM) module including a PIM database. The PIM module may be configured to apply a selected item shown on the touch sensitive display to a selected one of a plurality of different PIM schemas of the PIM database. The selected one of the PIM schemas may be selected based on the recognized gesture.
