Patent number: 11238868Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to a system that employs an automated assistant to further interactions between a user and another application, which can provide the automated assistant with permission to initialize relevant application actions simultaneous to the user interacting with the other application. Furthermore, the system can allow the automated assistant to initialize actions of different applications, despite being actively operating a particular application. Available actions can be gleaned by the automated assistant using various application-specific schemas, which can be compared with incoming requests from a user to the automated assistant. Additional data, such as context and historical interactions, can also be used to rank and identify a suitable application action to be initialized via the automated assistant.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Denis Burakov, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Sergey Nazarov, Zaheed Sabur, Marcin Nowak-Przygodzki, Mugurel Ionut Andreica, Radu Voroneanu

Patent number: 11222637Abstract: Implementations herein relate to pre-caching data, corresponding to predicted interactions between a user and an automated assistant, using data characterizing previous interactions between the user and the automated assistant. An interaction can be predicted based on details of a current interaction between the user and an automated assistant. One or more predicted interactions can be initialized, and/or any corresponding data pre-cached, prior to the user commanding the automated assistant in furtherance of the predicted interaction. Interaction predictions can be generated using a user-parameterized machine learning model, which can be used when processing input(s) that characterize a recent user interaction with the automated assistant.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Lucas Mirelmann, Zaheed Sabur, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Marie Patriarche Bledowski, Sergey Nazarov, Denis Burakov, Behshad Behzadi, Michael Golikov, Steve Cheng, Daniel Cotting, Mario Bertschler

Patent number: 11170777Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant through proactive caching, locally at a client device, of proactive assistant cache entries—and through on-device utilization of the proactive assistant cache entries. Different proactive cache entries can be provided to different client devices, and various implementations relate to technique(s) utilized in determining which proactive cache entries to provide to which client devices. In some of those implementations, in determining which proactive cache entries to provide (proactively or in response to a request) to a given client device, a remote system selects, from a superset of candidate proactive cache entries, a subset of the cache entries for providing to the given client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Daniel Cotting, Zaheed Sabur, Lan Huo, Bryan Christopher Horling, Behshad Behzadi, Lucas Mirelmann, Michael Golikov, Denis Burakov, Steve Cheng, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Sergey Nazarov, Mario Bertschler, Luv Kothari

DYNAMICALLY DELAYING EXECUTION OF AUTOMATED ASSISTANT ACTIONS AND/OR BACKGROUND APPLICATION REQUESTS
Publication number: 20210335356Abstract: Implementations set forth herein allow a user to access a first application in a foreground of a graphical interface, and simultaneously employ an automated assistant to respond to notifications arising from a second application. The user can provide an input, such as a spoken utterance, while viewing the first application in the foreground in order to respond to notifications from the second application without performing certain intervening steps that can arise under certain circumstances. Such intervening steps can include providing a user confirmation, which can be bypassed, and/or time-limited according to a timer, which can be displayed in response to the user providing a responsive input directed at the notification. A period for the timer can be set according to one or more characteristics that are associated with the notification, the user, and/or any other information that can be associated with the user receiving the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2019Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventors: Denis Burakov, Sergey Nazarov, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Zaheed Sabur, Okan Kolak, Yan Zhong, Vinh Quoc Ly -

Publication number: 20210216384Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be invoked while a user is interfacing with a foreground application in order to retrieve data from one or more different applications, and then provide the retrieved data to the foreground application. A user can invoke the automated assistant while operating the foreground application by providing a spoken utterance, and the automated assistant can select one or more other applications to query based on content of the spoken utterance. Application data collected by the automated assistant from the one or more other applications can then be used to provide an input to the foreground application. In this way, the user can bypass switching between applications in the foreground in order to retrieve data that has been generated by other applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2019Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Bohdan Vlasyuk, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Denis Burakov, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve CHENG, Sergey NAZAROV, Zaheed Sabur, Jonathan Lee, Lucia Terrenghi, Adrian Zumbrunnen

Publication number: 20210074285Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant by, for example, obviating the need to provide an explicit invocation to the automated assistant, such as by saying a hot-word/phrase or performing a specific user input, prior to speaking a command or query. In addition, the automated assistant can optionally receive, understand, and/or respond to the command or query without communicating with a server, thereby further reducing the time in which a response can be provided. Implementations only selectively initiate on-device speech recognition responsive to determining one or more condition(s) are satisfied. Further, in some implementations, on-device NLU, on-device fulfillment, and/or resulting execution occur only responsive to determining, based on recognized text form the on-device speech recognition, that such further processing should occur.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2019Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Michael Golikov, Zaheed Sabur, Denis Burakov, Behshad Behzadi, Sergey Nazarov, Daniel Cotting, Mario Bertschler, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Jonathan Lee, Lucia Terrenghi, Adrian Zumbrunnen
