Publication number: 20230297206Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to retrieving and displaying contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives a request to display contextually-relevant media and, in response, displays a representation of a collection of media items relevant to a context of the device. In some embodiments, a device displays a visual media item of a sequence of items and, in response to receiving a swipe gesture, displays a detail user interface comprising related content for the media item. In some embodiments, a device, while displaying a first detail user interface, displays an affordance corresponding to a plurality of individuals identified as having attended a first event, that when selected, causes display of visual media corresponding to a plurality of events attended by the individuals. In some embodiments, a device, in response to user input, obtains an automatically-generated collection of visual media and displays a corresponding affordance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Britt S. MIURA, Simon BOVET, Eric CIRCLAEYS, Alan C. DYE, Daniel E. GOBERA RUBALCAVA, Cyrus Daniel IRANI, Brendan J. LANGOULANT, Stephen O. LEMAY, Justin S.

Publication number: 20230259550Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a first natural-language speech input indicative of a request for media, where the first natural-language speech input comprises a first search parameter; providing, by a digital assistant, a first media item identified based on the first search parameter. The method further includes, while providing the first media item, receiving a second natural-language speech input and determining whether the second input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the second speech input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media: identifying, based on the first parameter and the second speech input, a second media item and providing the second media item.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: David Chance GRAHAM, Cyrus Daniel IRANI, Aimee PIERCY, Thomas ALSINA
