  • Patent number: 10795947
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating terms of a search query based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying multiple cross-platform messages based on the generated terms, and to generating, via a presentation device, a single interface that enables the user to interact with identified messages. Based on a spoken utterance, the disclosed embodiments may determine user-specified search terms and/or criteria, and based on the user-specified search terms and/or criteria, may obtain cross-platform message data that corresponds to the search query. The communications device may generate one or more interface elements that describe corresponding ones of the cross-platform messages, which may be presented within a unified graphical user interface or voice-user interface by a communications device.

  • Publication number: 20140344259
    Abstract: A computer device may receive a search query from a user of a user device, determine that the search query is a people-related question, and identify, using a data structure, a set of people related to the search query, where the data structure is associated with the user, and where the data structure stores people-related data for a group of people with which the user is associated. The computer device may also determine whether to provide information relating to the set of people, and selectively provide, to the user device, one of a first document or a second document. The first document identifies at least one person in the set of people and provides information relating to the at least one person, where the information, relating to the at least one person, provides an answer to the people-related question. The second document excludes information relating to the set of people.
