  • Patent number: 11907214
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to conditionally caching responses to automated assistant queries according to certain contextual data that may be associated with each automated assistant query. Each query can be identified based on historical interactions between a user and an automated assistant, and—depending on the query, fulfillment data can be cached according to certain contextual data that influences the query response. Depending on how the contextual data changes, a cached response stored at a client device can be discarded and/or replaced with an updated cached response. For example, a query that users commonly ask prior to leaving for work can have a corresponding assistant response that depends on features of an environment of the users. This unique assistant response can be cached, before the users provide the query, to minimize latency that can occur when network or processing bandwidth is unpredictable.

  • Patent number: 11899644
    Abstract: Herein is a self-tuning database management system (DBMS) storing JavaScript object notation (JSON) documents and operating a JSON datatype as native to the DBMS. In an embodiment, a computer hosts a DBMS that executes a data definition language (DDL) statement that defines, in a database dictionary of the DBMS, a JSON document column of a database table that stores JSON documents as instances of the JSON datatype that is native in the DBMS. The DBMS may autonomously set or adjust configuration settings that control behaviors such as a default width of a JSON document column, in lining or not of the JSON document column, kind and scope and duration of indexing of the JSON document column, and/or caching of the JSON document column such as in an in memory columnar unit (IMCU). The DBMS may use the various configuration settings to control how JSON documents and the native JSON datatype are stored and/or processed.
