Publication number: 20260004777Abstract: Implementations relate to determining a secondary language proficiency measure, for a user in a secondary language (i.e., a language other than a primary language specified for the user), where determining the secondary language proficiency measure is based on past interactions of the user that are related to the secondary language. Those implementations further relate to utilizing the determined secondary language proficiency measure to increase efficiency of user interaction(s), such as interaction(s) with a language learning application and/or an automated assistant. Some of those implementations utilize the secondary language proficiency measure in automatically setting value(s), biasing automatic speech recognition, and/or determining how to render natural language output.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2025Publication date: January 1, 2026Inventors: David Kogan, Wangqing Yuan, Guanglei Wang, Vincent Lacey, Wei Chen, Shaun Post

Patent number: 12437161Abstract: Implementations relate to determining a well-formed phrase to suggest to a user to submit in lieu of a not well-formed phrase. The suggestion is rendered via an interface that is provided to a client device of the user. Those implementations relate to determining that a phrase is not well-formed, identifying alternate phrases that are related to the not well-formed phrase, and scoring the alternate phrases to select one or more of the alternate phrases to render via the interface. Some of those implementations are related to identifying that the phrase is not well-formed based on occurrences of the phrase in documents that are generated by a source with the language of the phrase as the primary language of the creator.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2024Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Wangqing Yuan, David Kogan, Vincent Lacey, Guanglei Wang, Shaun Post, Bryan Christopher Horling, Michael Anthony Schuler

Patent number: 12387713Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant and/or other application that can adapt settings of a foldable display interface of a computing device according to user interactions occurring during a multilingual conversation. During the multilingual conversation between at least two users, translated content of the conversation can be rendered at a portion of the display interface according to which user is actively speaking. When a user is actively speaking, a brightness level of a portion of the display interface that is facing another user in the conversation can be modified to emphasize that the user is speaking and that the translated content is being rendered. When the user who is speaking is also the owner of the computing device, a portion of the display interface that is facing the other user can exhibit a limited responsiveness to touch inputs.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: August 12, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Nicholas Clark, Gustav Sennton, Xinxing Gu, Vincent Lacey, David Wilson, Shaun Post, Chris Kau, Petr Cermák, Michael Anthony Schuler, Nicole McWilliams, Will Osborn, Daniel Lee, Sanatt Abrol, Pragya Bajoria, Alan Wong
