Patent number: 11862151Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. In an example process, low-latency operation of a digital assistant is provided. In this example, natural language processing, task flow processing, dialogue flow processing, speech synthesis, or any combination thereof can be at least partially performed while awaiting detection of a speech end-point condition. Upon detection of a speech end-point condition, results obtained from performing the operations can be presented to the user. In another example, robust operation of a digital assistant is provided. In this example, task flow processing by the digital assistant can include selecting a candidate task flow from a plurality of candidate task flows based on determined task flow scores. The task flow scores can be based on speech recognition confidence scores, intent confidence scores, flow parameter scores, or any combination thereof. The selected candidate task flow is executed and corresponding results presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alejandro Acero, Hepeng Zhang
