Patent number: 12243533Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant through proactive caching, locally at a client device, of proactive assistant cache entries—and through on-device utilization of the proactive assistant cache entries. Different proactive cache entries can be provided to different client devices, and various implementations relate to technique(s) utilized in determining which proactive cache entries to provide to which client devices. In some of those implementations, in determining which proactive cache entries to provide (proactively or in response to a request) to a given client device, a remote system selects, from a superset of candidate proactive cache entries, a subset of the cache entries for providing to the given client device.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Daniel Cotting, Zaheed Sabur, Lan Huo, Bryan Christopher Horling, Behshad Behzadi, Lucas Mirelmann, Michael Golikov, Denis Burakov, Steve Cheng, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Sergey Nazarov, Mario Bertschler, Luv Kothari

DYNAMICALLY DELAYING EXECUTION OF AUTOMATED ASSISTANT ACTIONS AND/OR BACKGROUND APPLICATION REQUESTS
Publication number: 20240420697Abstract: Implementations set forth herein allow a user to access a first application in a foreground of a graphical interface, and simultaneously employ an automated assistant to respond to notifications arising from a second application. The user can provide an input, such as a spoken utterance, while viewing the first application in the foreground in order to respond to notifications from the second application without performing certain intervening steps that can arise under certain circumstances. Such intervening steps can include providing a user confirmation, which can be bypassed, and/or time-limited according to a timer, which can be displayed in response to the user providing a responsive input directed at the notification. A period for the timer can be set according to one or more characteristics that are associated with the notification, the user, and/or any other information that can be associated with the user receiving the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Denis Burakov, Sergey Nazarov, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Zaheed Sabur, Okan Kolak, Yan Zhong, Vinh Quoc Ly -
Publication number: 20240411513Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Srikanth Pandiri, Luv Kothari, Behshad Behzadi, Zaheed Sabur, Domenico Carbotta, Akshay Kannan, Qi Wang, Gokay Baris Gultekin, Angana Ghosh, Xu Liu, Yang Lu, Steve Cheng

Publication number: 20240330250Abstract: A method or system for generating recommendations based on detected correlations of static and dynamic data. For example, the system generates feature inputs for the machine learning model that is based on labeled static data as well as dynamic data indicating current usage. Notably, the dynamic data is not retrieved from a data store of known training data, but instead is streamed in real time from active databases accessible to the network. Furthermore, the system provides a formatting mechanism that translates user selected requirements and parameters from a human-readable format indicating particular attributes of a database to optimize (e.g., database performance, security, compliance, capacity planning, etc.) into data that may be included in a machine learning feature input that specifies which correlations to use (e.g., server operational statistics data, server log data, monitoring metrics, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Steve CHENG, Narender PASHIKANT

Patent number: 12106759Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to a system that employs an automated assistant to further interactions between a user and another application, which can provide the automated assistant with permission to initialize relevant application actions simultaneous to the user interacting with the other application. Furthermore, the system can allow the automated assistant to initialize actions of different applications, despite being actively operating a particular application. Available actions can be gleaned by the automated assistant using various application-specific schemas, which can be compared with incoming requests from a user to the automated assistant. Additional data, such as context and historical interactions, can also be used to rank and identify a suitable application action to be initialized via the automated assistant.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Denis Burakov, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Sergey Nazarov, Zaheed Sabur, Marcin Nowak-Przygodzki, Mugurel Ionut Andreica, Radu Voroneanu

Publication number: 20240312461Abstract: Implementations relate to receiving natural language input that requests an automated assistant to provide information and processing the natural language input to identify the requested information and to identify one or more predicted actions. Those implementations further cause a computing device, at which the natural language input is received, to render the requested information and the one or more predicted actions in response to the natural language input. Yet further, those implementations, in response to the user confirming a rendered predicted action, cause the automated assistant to initialize the predicted action.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Lucas Mirelmann, Zaheed Sabur, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Marie Patriarche Bledowski, Sergey Nazarov, Denis Burakov, Behshad Behzadi, Michael Golikov, Steve Cheng, Daniel Cotting, Mario Bertschler

Publication number: 20240272970Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be invoked while a user is interfacing with a foreground application in order to retrieve data from one or more different applications, and then provide the retrieved data to the foreground application. A user can invoke the automated assistant while operating the foreground application by providing a spoken utterance, and the automated assistant can select one or more other applications to query based on content of the spoken utterance. Application data collected by the automated assistant from the one or more other applications can then be used to provide an input to the foreground application. In this way, the user can bypass switching between applications in the foreground in order to retrieve data that has been generated by other applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Bohdan Vlasyuk, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Denis Burakov, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Sergey Nazarov, Zaheed Sabur, Jonathan Lee, Lucia Terrenghi, Adrian Zumbrunnen
