  • Patent number: 11971801
    Abstract: Implementations determine log-in information indicating whether a user of a first application is logged into a target application and/or a website of the target application. In response to the log-in information indicating that the user is logged into the target application but not logged into the website of the target application, a first selectable element can be displayed at a user interface of the first application to receive user input that causes the target application to be opened. In response to the log-in information indicating that the user is not logged into the target application but is logged into the website of the target application, a second selectable element can be displayed at the first application to receive user input that leads to the website of the target application, or the first selectable element can be assigned a deeplink that leads to the website of the target application.

  • Patent number: 11682045
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an image capture device and a processor. The image capture device captures an image of an environment. The processor is coupled to the image capture device and is configured to receive the image of the environment and determine situational contextual information in the image. The processor also identifies at least one non-intrusive location and performs shape detection on the at least one non-intrusive location. An advertisement asset is received based on the determined situational contextual information and the shape detection.

  • Publication number: 20230039741
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can adapt to circumstances in which a user may invoke an automated assistant with an intention of interacting with the automated assistant via a non-default interface. For example, in some instances, a user may invoke an automated assistant by selecting a selectable GUI element. In response, the automated assistant can determine that, in the current context, spoken utterances may not be suitable for providing to the automated assistant. Based on this determination, the automated assistant can cause a keyboard interface to be rendered and/or initialized for receiving typed inputs from the user. Should the user subsequently change contexts, the automated assistant can determine that voice input is now suitable for user input and initialize an audio interface in response to the user providing an invocation input in the subsequent context.
