  • Cross-device handoffs
    Patent number: 12348915
    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.

  • System for 3D surveying by a UGV and a UAV with automatic provision of referencing of UGV lidar data and UAV lidar data
    Patent number: 12346121
    Abstract: A system for 3D surveying of an environment by an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has two lidar devices. A reference unit has a first and a second marker in a spatially fixed arrangement. An automatic detection of the first marker is carried out for a coordinative measurement by the first lidar device to determine relative position data for providing relative position information of the first marker with respect to the first lidar device. The relative position data and spatial 3D information is used for an automatic detection and a coordinative measurement of the second marker by the second lidar device. The coordinative measurements are used for a referencing of lidar data of the UGV lidar device and lidar data of the UAV lidar device with respect to a common coordinate system.
