  • Publication number: 20220156040
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other functions that the connected device is capable of performing. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with the connected device. Each graphical control element can be arranged according to a status of the connected device, in order to reflect how the connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.

  • Publication number: 20170048310
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for peer-to-peer device activation. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a first user device associated with a first user account, an invitation to claim a second user device. Accepting, by the first user device, the invitation to claim the second user device. In response to accepting the invitation to claim the second device, sending a request for a registration token that includes a unique identifier for the second user device and associated with the first user account. Receiving, in response to the request, the registration token over the second communication protocol. Transmitting, from the first user device to the second user device, the registration token, wherein the registration token, upon receipt by the second user device, is used by the second user device to associate the second user device with the first user account.
