  • Patent number: 11960534
    Abstract: Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220244910
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling voice-based interactions with electronic devices can include a data processing system maintaining a plurality of device action data sets and a respective identifier for each device action data set. The data processing system can receive, from an electronic device, an audio signal representing a voice query and an identifier. The data processing system can identify, using the identifier, a device action data set. The data processing system can identify a device action from device action data set based on content of the audio signal. The data processing system can then identify, from the device action dataset, a command associated with the device action and send the command to the for execution device for execution.
