Patent number: 11231904Abstract: Systems and processes for reducing response latency of intelligent automated assistants are provided. In one example process, a speech input containing a user request can be received from a user. A representation of the speech input can be transmitted. A domain signal representing a relevant domain associated with the user request can be received. The process can determine whether the relevant domain is associated with a predefined action of a set of predefined actions. In response to determining that the relevant domain is associated with a predefined action of a set of predefined actions, the predefined action can be performed. Data content relevant to satisfying the user request can be received. A result based on the data content can be outputted to at least partially satisfy the user request.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Sumner, Evan S. Dibiase

Publication number: 20190394289Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, improving data security with respect to data collection, verification, and authentication techniques associated with obtaining and transmitting identity information. For example, an identification credential may be received (e.g., via a short-range communications protocol such as iBeacon) by a first device from a second device. The credential may be associated with a second user of the second device. The first device may verify the credential and, if valid, an additional option to approve a secure communications channel may be presented at the first device. If the additional option is selected, a secure communications channel may be established between the first device and the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2018Publication date: December 26, 2019Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Matthew Ross Lehrian, Zachariah N. Paine, Evan S. DiBiase

Patent number: 9703877Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for selecting personalized content for a user, the method being performed by an evaluation tool instantiated on a computing device and comprising the evaluation tool. The evaluation tool creates a content selection rule for the user for finding and filtering content items, such as advertising content. The tool generates a content selection algorithm from the content selection rule for determining which content items to present to the user and presents the content item to the user based on the content selection algorithm and allows the user to interact with the presented content item.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: David S.
