  • Patent number: 12093320
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for transferring dialog sessions between devices using deep links. The dialog sessions can correspond to interactions, mediated by an automated assistant, between a user and a third party application. During the dialog session, a user can request that the dialog session be transferred to a different device, for example, to interact with the third party application through a different modality. In response, the automated assistant and/or the third party application can generate a link that can be transferred to the transferee device to allow the transferee device to seamlessly take over the dialog session. In this way, computational resources and electrical power can be preserved by not requiring a recipient device to re-process natural language inputs previously provided during the dialog session.

  • Publication number: 20240119933
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240111554
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing context specific schema files that allow an automated assistant to broker human-to-computer dialogs between a user and an application that is separate from the automated assistant. The context specific schema file can provide the automated assistant with sufficient data to be responsive to user queries without necessarily communicating with a remote device, such as a server. Multiple different context specific schema files can be made available to the automated assistant according to a context in which a user is interacting with the automated assistant. In this way, latency otherwise exhibited by the automated assistant can be mitigated by providing the automated assistant with the information needed to respond to a user without continually retrieving the information over a network.
