Publication number: 20220199088Abstract: A network computer system for managing a network service (e.g., a transport service) can include a voice-assistant subsystem for generating dialogues and performing actions for service providers of the network service. The network computer system can receive, from a user device, a request for the network service. In response, the network computer system can identify a service provider and transmit an invitation to the provider device of the service provider. In response to the identification of the service provider for the request, the voice-assistant subsystem can trigger an audio voice prompt to be presented on the provider device and a listening period during which the provider device monitors for an audio input from the service provider. Based on the audio input captured by the provider device, the network computer system can determine an intent corresponding to whether the service provider accepts or declines the invitation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Lawrence Benjamin Goldstein, Arjun Vora, Gokhan Tur, Manisha Mundhe, Xiaochao Yang

Patent number: 9807549Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to employing adaptive multi-feature semantic location sensing methods to estimate the semantic location of a mobile device. A set of wireless data scans associated with one or more access points at one or more locations may be received. One or more features of the one or more locations may be identified, based upon the set of wireless data scans wherein the features are associated with one or more location metrics. At least one of the one or more access points may be determined to be associated with a first location based upon, at least in part, the set of wireless data scans.
