  • Publication number: 20200342865
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate 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: 20200344281
    Abstract: A stream hosting server generates anchors associated with a live stream, each anchor specifying a timestamp of the live stream that represents an opportune moment for a user to join the live stream. When a viewer client device sends a request to join the live stream, the stream hosting server analyzes the anchor list and selects an appropriate anchor. The stream hosting server provides the live stream to the viewer client device beginning at the timestamp specified by the anchor. Thus, the viewer client device can begin displaying the live stream at the opportune moment specified by the anchor. The stream hosting server also creates video on demand content that include a completed live stream as well as anchors associated with the live stream. The viewer client device can display the VOD beginning at different anchors.

  • Publication number: 20200327169
    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.

  • Patent number: 10795741
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing referrer data to an application are provided. One method includes receiving a first set of data packets indicating a command to navigate from a first resource to a second resource. The first set of data packets identifies the first resource and secondary referrer data associated with the first resource or a first content item on the first resource. The method includes rendering the second resource and a second content item provided within the second resource. The method includes receiving a selection of the second content item. The method includes generating a second set of data packets including the secondary referrer data and primary referrer data associated with the second resource or the second content item. The method includes transmitting the second set of data packets to a server, receiving a deeplink generated by the server, and rendering a content interface using the deeplink.

  • Publication number: 20200267196
    Abstract: A method for reducing bandwidth needed for streaming media content. The method includes identifying, by the streaming media server, a subset of a plurality of media content items having a portion of media data in common and extracting, by the streaming media server, the common portion from a first media content item of the subset; generating, by the streaming media server, a common media package comprising the extracted common portion, providing, by the streaming media server to a client media device, the common media package, and receiving, by the streaming media server from the client media device, a request for an item of content.

  • Publication number: 20200210649
    Abstract: Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20200134679
    Abstract: Implementations disclose personalized interruptive dialogs for application rating and sharing. A method includes identifying a first application for which a feedback of a user of a user device is desired; determining by a processing device, whether previous user interactions with one or mole second applications indicate that the user is interested in providing feedback for the one or more second applications; and responsive to determining that the previous user interactions with the one or more second applications indicate that the user is interested in providing the feedback for the one or more second applications, causing the user device to display, to the user, a prompt for the feedback for the first application.

  • Patent number: 10587616
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for authentication of user devices to a display device are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: authenticating a first user device to a display device, where the first user device is provided with media playback control on the display device in response to the authentication; identifying a second user device in proximity to the first user device; transmitting, from the first user device to the second user device, an invitation message to authenticate the second user device to the display device; and transmitting, from the first user device to the second user device, an authentication token that causes the second user device to request authentication to the display device from the server, where the second user device is provided with media playback control on the display device in response to authenticating with the display device.

  • Publication number: 20200019411
    Abstract: The invention relates to a configuration implementation system that allows users to maintain configurations for production resources (e.g., application, systems, or the like) in a main configuration table, and multiple versions of the configurations in branch configuration tables in order to deploy and test the branch configurations independently of each other based on implementation schedules. Moreover, the configurations in the configuration branches can be implemented in various releases for the production resource as necessary and merged into the other branches in order to maintain consistency with the production resource and to identify any discrepancies between the configuration branches. The invention also utilizes script patterns to create scripts to implement the configuration changes in the production resources un a uniform way regardless of the user that is creating, modifying, deploying, testing, and/or implementing the configurations through the various branches.

  • Patent number: 10509132
    Abstract: A radiation detection system may include a mobile device having a flash memory. The device may monitor various characteristics of the flash memory to determine when damage to the flash memory has occurred from radiation exposure. The device may associate damage to the flash memory with a radiation dose, and determine a level of radiation to which the memory, and thus the device, has been exposed. The device also may determine a length of time and locations where the radiation exposure has occurred. If the device determines that the level of radiation exposure exceeds a threshold associated with a safe level of radiation exposure for a human user, the device may generate an alert to the user.
