  • Publication number: 20240078083
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a transaction method and a node design in a blockchain system. A client initiates a transaction by using an SQL write command including transaction data or queries transaction data by using an SQL query command. A node parses an SQL command, executes a simulated transaction, and checks block data based on a transaction result of the simulated transaction after obtaining the block data. After the check succeeds, the node converts the block data into an SQL write command used to write the block data, thereby writing the block data to an RDB database. In embodiments of the present invention, an RDB data block is connected to the blockchain system, so that data query and processing capabilities of the blockchain system are improved.
