  • Patent number: 11550605
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data comprising a plurality of requests and a plurality of responses to the requests. The requests and the responses are associated with a virtual assistant programmed to address the plurality of requests. In the method, a machine learning (ML) classifier is used to partition the requests into a plurality of partitions corresponding to a plurality of request types. An interface for a user is generated to display a subset of the requests corresponding to at least one partition of the plurality of partitions and to display a response corresponding to the subset of the plurality of requests, wherein the response is based on one or more of the plurality of responses. The interface is configured to permit editing of the response by the user. The method also includes processing the response edited by the user, and transmitting the edited response to the virtual assistant.

  • Patent number: 11528087
    Abstract: Disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are an information transmission method, device and system. The method comprises: generating indication information for a target terminal, the indication information is used for indicating the present state of a physical downlink control channel PDCCH of a non target terminal in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) sent to the target terminal and/or the occupation state of resources of the non-target terminal; and sending the indication information to the target terminal. Thus, by means of the indication information, the terminal can learn whether a PDCCH of another terminal is present in the PDSCH sent to the terminal and/or whether there is resource occupation by the other terminal. On the basis of the content learned from the indication information, PDSCH rate matching may be implemented in order to avoid the situation of being unable to correctly analyze PDSCH data packets in a short time period due to matching errors.

  • Patent number: 11490398
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) at a first time, and may receive a second DCI at a second, later time. Each DCI may contain scheduling information for scheduling a number of transmissions at the UE. A transmission associated with the first DCI on a first cell may be scheduled to start before or during a transmission associated with the second DCI on a second cell. The UE may then determine priorities associated with the first and second cells. In cases where the priority of the second cell is greater than the priority of the first cell, the UE may transmit the second scheduled transmission before it transmits the first scheduled transmission. As a result, the UE may prioritize transmitting the second scheduled transmission before the first scheduled transmission.
