Publication number: 20240119933Abstract: Implementations set forth herein (elate to an automated assistant capable of bypassing soliciting a user for supplemental data for completing an action when a previously-queried application is capable of providing the supplemental data. For instance, when a user invokes the automated assistant to complete a first action with a first application, the user may provide many pertinent details. Those details may be useful to a second application that the user may subsequently invoke via the automated assistant for completing a second action. In order to save the user from having to repeat the details to the automated assistant, the automated assistant can interact with the first application in order to obtain any information that may be essential for the second application to complete the second action. The automated assistant can then provide the information to the second application, without soliciting the user for the information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Scott Davies, Ruxandra Davies

Patent number: 11921833Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable for a delayed, two-factor authentication to occur in networked devices. The system and methods can enable the immediate delivery of digital components, which results in fewer abandoned requests, and saves network resources. The system and methods can enable the authorization of data transmissions in networked computer devices that include limited user interfaces, such as voice-based interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Justin Lewis, Ruxandra Davies

Publication number: 20240013783Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to employing dynamic regulations for governing responsiveness of multiple automated assistant devices, and specifically the responsiveness an automated assistant to a given spoken utterance that has been acknowledged by two or more of the assistant devices. The dynamic regulations can be context-dependent and adapted over time in order that the automated assistant can accommodate assistant interaction preferences that may vary from user to user. For instance, a spoken utterance such as “stop,” may be intended to affect different assistant actions based on a context in which the user provided the spoken utterance. The context can refer to a location of the user relative to other rooms in a home, a time of day, a user providing the spoken utterance, an arrangement of the assistant devices within a home, and/or a state of each device in the home.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Raunaq Shah, Jaclyn Konzelmann, Lisa Takehana, Ruxandra Davies, Adrian Diaconu

Patent number: 11508371Abstract: Processing stacked data structures is provided. A system receives an input audio signal detected by a sensor of a local computing device, identifies an acoustic signature, and identifies an account corresponding to the signature. The system establishes a session and a profile stack data structure including a first profile layer having policies configured by a third-party device. The system pushes, to the profile stack data structure, a second profile layer retrieved from the account. The system parses the input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. The system generates, based on the trigger keyword and the second profile layer, a first action data structure compatible with the first profile layer. The system provides the first action data structure for execution. The system disassembles the profile stack data structure to remove the first profile layer or the second profile layer from the profile stack data structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Anshul Kothari, Tarun Jain, Gaurav Bhaya, Ruxandra Davies, Lisa Takehana

Publication number: 20220276722Abstract: Implementations provided herein relate to correlating available input gestures to recently created application functions, and adapting available input gestures, and/or user-created input gestures, to be correlated with existing application functions. Available input gestures (e.g., a hand wave) can be those that can be readily performed upon setup of a computing device. When a user installs an application that is not initially configured to handle the available input gestures, the available input gestures can be correlated to certain functions of the application. Furthermore, a user can create new gestures for application actions and/or modify existing gestures according to their own preferences and/or physical capabilities. When multiple users elect to modify an existing gesture in the same way, the modification can be made universal, with permission from the users, in order to eliminate latency when subsequently adapting to preferences of other users.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Ruxandra Davies, Lisa Takehana

Patent number: 10957326Abstract: Identifier dependent operation processing of packet based data communication is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. A content selector component can select, based on the request or trigger keyword, a content item. A link generation component can determine whether the client computing device has an account or a record in a database associated with the service provider device. In the absence of the record or account, the link generation device generates and sends a virtual identifier to the service provider device with instructions to generate an account in the database using the virtual identifier. Once the account is created, the service provider device can communicate with the client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Gaurav Bhaya, Robert Stets, Justin Lewis, Ruxandra Davies
