  • Patent number: 12169764
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12169663
    Abstract: Techniques for content output are described. A computing component determines that a first zone identifier is associated with at least a first permission that enables identifying first content output and controlling the first content output, and that a second zone identifier is associated with a second permission that enables identifying second content output and prohibiting the second content output. Based at least in part on the first permission, this component causes the first content output by a first speaker associated with the first zone identifier and causes a first display associated with the first zone identifier to present a first graphical user interface that identifies the first content and includes a content control component.

  • Patent number: 12045441
    Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide of removing less relevant secondary content (e.g., advertisements, related links, comments, reviews, etc.) prior to generating a static or dynamic screen shot image of the more relevant primary content of an electronic page. A controller of an electronic device executes an application to present, via a display, at least a portion of an electronic page. In response to receiving an input, via at least one input device of the electronic device, to capture a screen shot of the display, the controller identifies primary spatial portion(s) and secondary spatial portion(s) of the electronic page. The controller renders the primary portion(s) of the electronic page into a reduced content electronic page without the secondary spatial portion(s). The controller captures a screen shot image of the reduced content electronic page.
