  • Patent number: 10129198
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a computing device associated with a user, a message from an origination source and receiving, by the computing device, an audio input. The method may also include determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the audio input and contextual information, a probability that the user intends to send a response message to the origination source. The method may further include, responsive to determining that the probability the user intends to send the response message to the origination source satisfies a threshold probability, determining, by the computing device, that the user intends to send the response message to the origination source. The method may also include, responsive to determining that the user intends to send the response message to the origination source, generating, by the computing device and based on the audio input, the response message, and sending, by the computing device, the response message to the origination source.

  • Publication number: 20170337027
    Abstract: A method includes outputting, by an information system of a vehicle, for display at a first portion of a display device located at a center console of the information system, a first graphical user interface (GUI) associated with an active application from a plurality of applications. The method includes determining, by the information system, respective relevancy scores of two or more applications from the plurality of applications other than the active application. Each respective relevancy scores indicates a probability that the application will be of interest to a driver of the vehicle while the first GUI is being output for display. The method includes determining, by the information system, based on the respective relevancy scores, a highest ranked application from the two or more applications, and outputting, by the information system, for display at a second portion of the display device, a second GUI associated with the highest ranked application.

  • Patent number: 8484179
    Abstract: Search results and associated search-result details are provided in response to user queries. Embodiments include identifying a number of search-result details for different indexed search results, identifying one or more detail-attributes for each search-result detail, and identifying one or more user-attributes for a particular user. These search results, associated search-result details, and associated detail-attributes may be stored in a database. Upon receiving a search query from the user, search results may be generated. Search-result details specific to each search result and specific to the end-user may also be generated by identifying the detail-attributes associated with each search-result detail and the user-attributes associated with the end-user. These search results may then be presented to the end-user. Upon receiving an indication of interest in a particular search result, the search result details may then be presented to the end user.
