Patent number: 11568869Abstract: Implementations include identifying, from a database of entries reflecting past automated assistant commands submitted within a threshold amount of time relative to a current time, particular entries that each reflect corresponding features of a corresponding user submission of a particular command. Further, those implementations include determining that the particular command is a golden command, for a particular automated assistant function, responsive to determining that: at least a threshold percentage of the user submissions of the particular command triggered the particular automated assistant function, and a quantity of the user submission of the particular command satisfies a threshold quantity.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Aakash Goel, Tayfun Elmas, Keith Brady, Akshay Jaggi, Ester Lopez Berga, Arne Vansteenkiste, Robin Martinjak, Mahesh Palekar, Krish Narang, Nitin Khandelwal, Pravir Gupta

Publication number: 20220382819Abstract: A method for deliver relevant responses to ambiguous queries includes receiving, from a user device associated with a user, a query requesting either information from a digital assistant service or performance of an action by the digital assistant service. When a user intent of the query is unresolved, the method also includes retrieving, from a search engine, currently trending search results for the query and resolving the user intent of the query based on the search results. The method also includes generating a response to the query based the resolved user intent. The response includes information obtained from a particular intent vertical associated with the resolved user intent or fulfillment of the action by the digital assistant service.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: Google LLCInventors: T.V Raman, Peng Rong, Pravir Gupta

Publication number: 20220244910Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling voice-based interactions with electronic devices can include a data processing system maintaining a plurality of device action data sets and a respective identifier for each device action data set. The data processing system can receive, from an electronic device, an audio signal representing a voice query and an identifier. The data processing system can identify, using the identifier, a device action data set. The data processing system can identify a device action from device action data set based on content of the audio signal. The data processing system can then identify, from the device action dataset, a command associated with the device action and send the command to the for execution device for execution.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Bo Wang, Venkat Kotla, Chad Yoshikawa, Chris Ramsdale, Pravir Gupta, Alfonso Gomez-Jordana, Kevin Yeun, Jae Won Seo, Lantian Zheng, Sang Soo Sung

Patent number: 10490190Abstract: In various implementations, upon receiving a given voice command from a user, a voice-based trigger may be selected from a library of voice-based triggers previously used across a population of users. The library may include association(s) between each voice-based trigger and responsive action(s) previously performed in response to the voice-based trigger. The selecting may be based on a measure of similarity between the given voice command and the selected voice-based trigger. One or more responsive actions associated with the selected voice-based trigger in the library may be determined. Based on the one or more responsive actions, current responsive action(s) may be performed by a target client device selected based on sensor-dependent context. Feedback associated with performance of the current responsive action(s) may be received from the user and used to alter a strength of an association between the selected voice-based trigger and the one or more responsive actions.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Yuzhao Ni, Bo Wang, Barnaby James, Pravir Gupta, David Schairer

Publication number: 20190235888Abstract: Techniques are described herein for leveraging information about a user to enable a personal assistant module to make various inferences about what actions that may be responsive to a user declaration. In various implementations, upon identifying a user declaration received at a computing device, a plurality of candidate responsive actions that can be initiated by the computing device in response to the user declaration may be identified. A single candidate responsive action may then be non-deterministically (e.g., randomly, stochastically) selected to be exclusively initiated on the computing device in response to the user declaration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Cheng Li, BO Wang, Okan Kolak, Peter Hodgson, Deniz Binay, Dhruv Amin, Pravir Gupta, Nitin Shetti, Javier Rey
