Patent number: 11902460Abstract: Systems and processes for providing, via an electronic device, suggested user actions. The suggested actions are provided in response to detecting an occurrence of a predefined event occurring in the user's day. The occurrence of the anchor is encoded in signals generated by the electronic device. The occurrence of the anchor is detectable via monitoring and analysis of electronic signals. Based on the user's previous interactions with the device, the occurrence of the anchor is indicative of user behavior and/or action taken in response to the anchor. Machine learning (ML) is employed to train an anchor model to associate actions taken in response to anchor occurrences. The trained anchor model is employed to detect anchors and provide suggested actions in response to the detected anchor occurrence. The suggested action is based on a type of anchor occurrence and contextual conditions of the anchor occurrences.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Akshay Aggarwal, Pallavika Ramaswamy
