  • Patent number: 10791078
    Abstract: Implementations relate to providing information items for display during a communication session. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, during a communication session between a first computing device and a second computing device, first media content from the communication session. The method further includes determining a first information item for display in the communication session based at least in part on the first media content. The method further includes sending a first command to at least one of the first computing device and the second computing device to display the first information item.

  • Publication number: 20200259906
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for pairing a speech-enabled device with a display device. A determination may be made to pair a speech-enabled device with a display device of a particular type. A set of display devices that are associated with the speech-enabled device may be identified in response to determining to pair the speech-enabled device with the display device of the particular type. An instruction may be provided to each of the display devices. The instruction may cause the display device to determine (i) whether the display device is of the particular type and (ii) whether the display device and the speech-enabled device both share a local area network and display on the display device an indication regarding pairing with the speech-enabled device.

  • Publication number: 20200125377
    Abstract: Techniques are described related to selecting content to display using a standalone multi-modal assistant device. In various implementations, an unidentified user may be detected as co-present with a standalone multi-modal assistant device equipped with a display. Based on the detecting, in various implementations, a plurality of data items targeted at one or more registered users may be obtained. The one or more registered users may have accounts accessible to an automated assistant that operates at least in part on the standalone multi-modal assistant device. The plurality of data items may be obtained based on the accounts of the registered users. The plurality of data items may be ranked based on various signals, such as registered user-related and non-registered user-related priorities. Graphical information may be rendered on the display indicative of the ranked plurality of data items.

  • Publication number: 20200120401
    Abstract: A first computing device may receive an indication of user input that is at least a part of a conversation between a user and a first assistant executing at the first computing device. The first assistant and/or an assistant executing at a digital assistant system may determine whether to handoff the conversation from the first assistant executing at the first computing device to a second assistant executing at a second computing device. In response to determining to handoff the conversation to the second assistant executing at the second computing device, the first assistant and/or the assistant executing at the digital assistant system may send to the second computing device a request to handoff the conversation which includes at least an indication of the conversation.

  • Publication number: 20190066669
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for displaying information that includes a response to a query received by a device. The device receives a follow on query for an electronic conversation about a certain topic and generates a transcription of the follow on query. The device provides the transcription and data about the conversation to respective classifier modules of an assistant module. The assistant module uses a particular classifier module to identify the follow on query as either a query that corresponds to the topic, a query that deviates from the topic, or a query that is unrelated to the topic. The assistant module selects a template for displaying information that includes a response to the follow on voice query after the device causes information to be displayed that includes a response to a preceding voice query.
