  • Patent number: 12254333
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250005077
    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: 20240160723
    Abstract: Data transfer in a secure processing environment is provided. A digital assistant can receive audio input detected by a microphone of a computing device. The digital assistant can determine, based on the audio input, to invoke a third-party application associated with the computing device. The digital assistant can generate, responsive to the determination to invoke the third-party application, a packaged data object. The digital assistant can forward, to the third-party application invoked by the digital assistant component to execute in a secure processing environment on the computing device, the packaged data object. The third-party application can transmit, responsive to a digital component request triggered in the third-party application, the packaged data object to a digital component selector to execute a real-time selection process based on the packaged data object.
