Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, a speech input is received from a user. In response to determining that the speech input corresponds to a user intent of obtaining information associated with a user experience of the user, one or more parameters referencing a user experience of the user are identified. Metadata associated with the referenced user experience is obtained from an experiential data structure. Based on the metadata, one or more media items associated with the referenced are retrieved based on the metadata. The one or more media items associated with the referenced user experience are output together.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may create a semantic mapping that includes identified features that appear in a particular percentage of assets in a subset of assets of a media library. Also, the computing device may analyze assets of the media library using the semantic mapping to generate semantic scores, which may be used to determine a first tier of assets from the media library that rate highest for semantic score out of all assets. The computing device may present at least one of the first tier assets prominently in a user interface when viewing assets of the media library.

Abstract: A user controls an external electronic device with wireless ring device; the ring is disposed on one or more fingers of a hand of the user. The ring detects, via a touch-sensitive input device, an input. In response to detecting the input, in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to a respective touch event of a plurality of touch events, the ring transmits, to the external electronic device, a command associated with the respective touch event, and generates, via the one or more tactile output generators, a first tactile output indicative of the transmission of the command.

Abstract: A user controls an external electronic device with wireless ring device; the ring is disposed on one or more fingers of a hand of the user, detects an input, and, in response: in accordance with a determination that a predefined hand gesture directed toward a first external electronic device was performed, using the ring device, prior to detecting the input, the ring device transmits instructions to change an output of the first external electronic device based on the input; and, in accordance with a determination that the predefined hand gesture directed toward a second external electronic device was performed, using the ring device, prior to detecting the input, the ring device transmits instructions to change an output of the second external electronic device based on the input.
