  • Publication number: 20240079005
    Abstract: Configurable core domains of a speech processing system are described. A core domain output data format for a given command is originally configured with default content portions. When a user indicates additional content should be output for the command, the speech processing system creates a new output data format for the core domain. The new output data format is user specific and includes both default content portions as well as user preferred content portions.

  • Patent number: 11797629
    Abstract: Techniques for performing outputting additional content associated with but nonresponsive to an input command are described. A system receives input data from a device. The system determines an intent representing the input data and receives first output data responsive to the input data. The system determines, based on context data, that additional content associated with the first output data but nonresponsive to the input data should be output. The system receives second output data associated with but nonresponsive to the input data thereafter. The system then presents first content corresponding to the first output data and second content corresponding to the second output data.

  • Publication number: 20230282206
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant are described. The NLP system may receive a natural language input corresponding to more than one user command. The NLP system may respond to a first command, of the natural language input, using a TTS voice of a first NLP system assistant. The NLP system may respond to a second command, of the natural language input, using a TTS voice of a second NLP system assistant.

  • Patent number: 11657095
    Abstract: A system is provided for determining when supplemental content unresponsive to a user input is to be presented during a user interaction. The system determines an action, performance of which, may trigger output of supplemental content. The system may determine when, during a user interaction corresponding to performance of the action, supplemental content may be presented. The system may use constraint data indicating a device type via which the content may be presented, and a time duration during which the supplemental content may be presented. If the constraint data is satisfied, the system may determine to present the supplemental content.

  • Patent number: 11393477
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant are described. The NLP system may receive a natural language input from a device. The NLP system may also receive one or more signals representing one or more assistants to be implemented with respect to the natural language input. The NLP system may intelligently select an assistant to be invoked with respect to the natural language input. Once the assistant is selected, the NLP system may cause content, output to a user, to have characteristics specific to the assistant.

  • Publication number: 20210090575
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant during a dialog between one or more users and the NLP system are described. The NLP system may receive a first natural language input and associate same with a dialog identifier. The NLP system may output audio, responsive to the first natural language input, in a first NLP system assistant's voice. Thereafter, the NLP system may receive a second natural language input and associate same with the dialog identifier. The NLP system may output audio, responsive to the second natural language input, in a second NLP system assistant's voice.

  • Patent number: 10880384
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for allocating resources among multiple skills to enable multitasking. The system tracks use of resources using skill sessions. In one case, the system suspends a skill session to release a resource for allocation to another resource. In another case, the system determines if multiple skill sessions can remain active and use resources to provide output to the user at the same time.
