  • Multi-tier speech processing and content operations
    Patent number: 11657807
    Abstract: A multi-tier architecture is provided for processing user voice queries and making routing decisions for generating responses, including responses to book browsing requests and other content requests. When an utterance is associated with multiple applications in a given domain, the applications may be organized into a subdomain and a tier of routing decisions may be added to the inter-domain and intra-domain routing decision system. The system uses contextual signals to make subdomain routing decisions, including signals regarding content items that are already in a user's content catalog, consumption status of individual content items in the user's catalog, and the like.
