Abraham Lee has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250237518
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to interactions, between vehicle computing devices and mobile computing devices, that reduce duplicative processes from occurring at either device. Reduction of such processes can be performed, in some instances, via communications between a vehicle computing device and a mobile computing device in order to determine, for example, how to uniquely render content at an interface of each respective computing device while the user is driving the vehicle. These communications can occur before a user has entered a vehicle, while the user is in the vehicle, and/or after a user has left the vehicle. For instance, just before a user enters a vehicle, a vehicle computing device can be primed for certain automated assistant interactions between the user and their mobile computing device. Alternatively, or additionally, the user can authorize the vehicle computing device to perform certain processes immediately after leaving the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12321763
    Abstract: Some implementations are directed to adapting a client application on a feature phone based on experiment parameters. Some of those implementations are directed to adapting an assistant client application, where the assistant client application interacts with remote assistant component(s) to provide automated assistant functionalities via the assistant client application of the feature phone. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to determining whether an invocation, of an assistant client application on a feature phone, is a request for transcription of voice data received in conjunction with the invocation, or is instead a request for an assistant response that is responsive to the transcription of the voice data (e.g., includes assistant content that is based on and in addition to the transcription, and that optionally lacks the transcription itself).

  • Publication number: 20240428793
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for multi-modal interaction between users, automated assistants, and other computing services. In various implementations, a user may engage with the automated assistant in order to further engage with a third party computing service. In some implementations, the user may advance through dialog state machines associated with third party computing service using both verbal input modalities and input modalities other than verbal modalities, such as visual/tactile modalities.

  • Publication number: 20240420696
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to providing suggestions, via a display modality, for completing a spoken utterance for an automated assistant, in order to reduce a frequency and/or a length of time that the user will participate in a current and/or subsequent dialog session with the automated assistant. A user request can be compiled from content of an ongoing spoken utterance and content of any selected suggestion elements. When a currently compiled portion of the user request (from content of a selected suggestion(s) and an incomplete spoken utterance) is capable of being performed via the automated assistant, any actions corresponding to the currently compiled portion of the user request can be performed via the automated assistant. Furthermore, any further content resulting from performance of the actions, along with any discernible context, can be used for providing further suggestions.
