  • Patent number: 12386901
    Abstract: Implementations relate to selecting a particular device, from an ecosystem of devices, to provide responses to a device-agnostic request of the user while a scenario is occurring. The user specifies a scenario and contextual features are identified from one or more devices of the ecosystem to generate scenario features indicative of the scenario occurring. The scenario features are stored with a correlation to a device that is specified by the user to handle responses while the scenario is occurring. When a subsequent device-agnostic request is received, current contextual features are identified and compared to the scenario features. Based on the comparison, the specified assistant device is selected to respond to the device-agnostic request.

  • Patent number: 12360731
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein are directed towards pairing a first audio data stream of a first client device with a second audio data stream of a second client device based on identifying a user has imitated playback of media at the second client device, where the imitation of the playback by the user occurs at the first client device. Many implementations include the user controlling the media playback at the second client device using one or more automated assistant queries. Various implementations include deleting the pairing between the first audio data stream and the second audio data stream in response to determining whether one or more conditions have been satisfied (e.g., whether the user stops the playback, whether the first client device is a threshold distance away from the second client device, whether a period of time has elapsed, whether the entire media has played at the second client device, whether one or more additional or alternative conditions are satisfied, and/or combinations thereof).

  • Patent number: 12346634
    Abstract: A method for a contextual assistant to use mouse pointing or touch cues includes receiving audio data corresponding to a query spoken by a user, receiving, in a graphical user interface displayed on a screen, a user input indication indicating a spatial input applied at a first location on the screen, and processing the audio data to determine a transcription of the query. The method also includes performing query interpretation on the transcription to determine that the query is referring to an object displayed on the screen without uniquely identifying the object, and requesting information about the object. The method further includes disambiguating, using the user input indication indicating the spatial input applied at the first location on the screen, the query to uniquely identify the object that the query is referring to, obtaining the information about the object requested by the query, and providing a response to the query.

  • Patent number: 12340801
    Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can bypass invocation phrase detection when an estimation of device-to-device distance satisfies a distance threshold. The estimation of distance can be performed for a set of devices, such as a computerized watch and a cellular phone, and/or any other combination of devices. The devices can communicate ultrasonic signals between each other, and the estimated distance can be determined based on when the ultrasonic signals are sent and/or received by each respective device. When an estimated distance satisfies the distance threshold, the automated assistant can operate as if the user is holding onto their cellular phone while wearing their computerized watch. This scenario can indicate that the user may be intending to hold their device to interact with the automated assistant and, based on this indication, the automated assistant can temporarily bypass invocation phrase detection (e.g., invoke the automated assistant).

  • Publication number: 20250190488
    Abstract: Implementations utilize a LLM to generate content responsive to a user query directed to a video and cause audio data for the generated content to be rendered as a response to the user query. Implementations extract a subset of frames from all frames of the video as key frame(s) for the video, and utilize a vision-language model in generating a natural language description for the key frame(s) of the video. A prompt can be generated based on a transcription of the user query and based on the natural language description for the key frame(s) of the video. The prompt is processed as input, using the LLM, to generate the content responsive to the user query directed to the video.

  • Publication number: 20250193624
    Abstract: Disclosed implementations for generating personalized audio. In response to receiving sensor data corresponding with a physical characteristic of a user, a first function is determined based on a similarity between the physical characteristic of the user and a first model and a second function is determined based on a similarity of the physical characteristic between the user and a second model. A modified function, representing an audio response, is generated by combining the first function and the second function. An audio stream is generated based on the modified function.

  • Publication number: 20250181829
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to utilizing a large language model (LLM) to determine whether a natural language (NL) based input is grammatically incorrect and notifying a user based on the determination. A structured LLM query may be generated, based on the NL based input, that includes an LLM prompt to cause the LLM to generate an LLM response including an indication of whether the NL based input is grammatically incorrect. An LLM response may be generated, based on causing the structured LLM query to be processed using the LLM, that includes the indication of whether the NL based input is grammatically incorrect. Responsive to determining that the NL based input is grammatically incorrect based on the LLM response, a feedback output may be caused to be rendered at the client device, or an additional client device, that indicates the NL based input is grammatically incorrect.

The computing device then determines a plurality of paths for traveling from the current location to the destination location. As the user travels to the destination location, the computing device estimates a plurality of waypoints traversed by the user. The computing device compares the estimated plurality of waypoints to each of the plurality of paths to identify a path of the plurality of paths in which the user travels to the destination location. Then the computing device adjusts the estimated plurality of waypoints according to the identified path to determine precise waypoints for the user.
