  • Patent number: 12093862
    Abstract: An asset management system is provided and includes a memory and an event analyzer. The memory maintains event data and at least one cost. The event data characterizes events experienced by assets distributed among sites of a fleet. The event data include an asset location within an asset hierarchy of the fleet and event parameters corresponding to the event. Costs can be correlated to respective events. The analyzer generates a GUI displaying a first window hierarchically listing of assets organized by their hierarchical position within the fleet. The analyzer receives, via the GUI, a user selection of a hierarchical level within the hierarchical list, and identifies events associated with the selected hierarchical level. The analyzer updates the GUI to display a second window in response to receipt of the user selection. The second window lists the identified events, with corresponding event data costs.

  • Patent number: 12093609
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.
