Publication number: 20230035713Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to an automated assistant that iteratively renders various GUI elements as a user iteratively provides a spoken utterance, or sequence of spoken utterances, corresponding to a request directed to the automated assistant. These various GUI elements can be dynamically adapted as the user iteratively provides the spoken utterance to assist the user with efficiently completing the request. In some implementations, a generic container graphical element associated with candidate intent(s) can be initially rendered at a display interface of a computing device and dynamically adapted with tailored container graphical elements as a particular intent is determined while the user iteratively provides the spoken utterance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Brett Barros, Joanne J. Jang, Andrew Schoneweis

Publication number: 20220406301Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can initialize execution of an assistant command associated with an interpretation that is predicted to be responsive to a user input, while simultaneously providing suggestions for alternative assistant command(s) associated with alternative interpretation(s) that is/are also predicted to be responsive to the user input. The alternative assistant command(s) that are suggested can be selectable such that, when selected, the automated assistant can pivot from executing the assistant command to initializing execution of the selected alternative assistant command(s). Further, the alternative assistant command(s) that are suggested can be partially fulfilled prior to any user selection thereof. Accordingly, implementations set forth herein can enable the automated assistant to quickly and efficiently pivot between assistant commands that are predicted to be responsive to the user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2021Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Brett Barros, Theo Goguely

Patent number: 10681219Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing information. A request is received by a call routing server to establish a call between a client device and a remote telecommunications device. A given transmission criterion that triggered distribution of the particular digital component to the client device is determined by a call context server. A set of contextual information that is mapped to the given transmission criterion is identified, by the call context server, in a data store storing a mapping of transmission criteria to contextual information. The client device is connected, by the call routing server, to the remote telecommunications device using the phone number. The set of contextual information is transmitted to the remote telecommunications device or a computing device that is associated with the remote telecommunications device while the call is being connected or in progress.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Joshua Converse, Brett Barros, Jamie Burrell, Paul Cole, Lilia Royanova
