Patent number: 12169764Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can adapt to circumstances in which a user may invoke an automated assistant with an intention of interacting with the automated assistant via a non-default interface. For example, in some instances, a user may invoke an automated assistant by selecting a selectable GUI element. In response, the automated assistant can determine that, in the current context, spoken utterances may not be suitable for providing to the automated assistant. Based on this determination, the automated assistant can cause a keyboard interface to be rendered and/or initialized for receiving typed inputs from the user. Should the user subsequently change contexts, the automated assistant can determine that voice input is now suitable for user input and initialize an audio interface in response to the user providing an invocation input in the subsequent context.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Keun Soo Yim, Zhitu Chen, Brendan G.
