This application relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to device coordination for responding to an input.
Intelligent automated assistants (or digital assistants) can provide a beneficial interface between human users and electronic devices. Such assistants can allow users to interact with devices or systems using natural language in spoken and/or text forms. For example, a user can provide a speech input containing a user request to a digital assistant operating on an electronic device. The digital assistant can interpret the user's intent from the speech input and operationalize the user's intent into tasks. The tasks can then be performed by executing one or more services of the electronic device, and a relevant output responsive to the user request can be returned to the user.
Increasingly, users own multiple devices, each having the ability to initiate a digital assistant. In such cases, a decision must be made as to which device should respond to a user when the user makes a spoken request in proximity of multiple devices. In general, device coordination systems may utilize advertising schemes in order to resolve which device should respond to a user request. Advertising schemes generally send repeated packets over short intervals in order to minimize lost information due to radio interference. Conventional device coordination systems may use advertising schemes that send packets between devices based on timed intervals with fixed communication deadlines. However, device coordination becomes problematic when devices differ in processing capability. These problems are compounded given the variable reliability of different communication channels. Thus, conventional systems do not effectively accommodate devices that cannot assemble necessary information fast enough to meet these fixed communication deadlines.
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant in a multi-device environment, and arbitrating amongst multiple devices, are provided. In one example process, at an electronic device, an event associated with an audio input is detected with a first process. In accordance with a detection of the event, a delay value associated with the electronic device is determined. The delay value corresponds to a time required to determine, with a second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger for engaging an intelligent automated assistant. In accordance with a determination that the delay value exceeds a threshold, the delay value is broadcast during a first advertising session, and a determination is made, during a second advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. In accordance with a determination that the threshold is not exceeded, a determination is made, during the first advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input or wait for the second advertising session.
In the following description of examples, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which are shown by way of illustration specific examples that can be practiced. It is to be understood that other examples can be used and structural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the various examples.
Conventional techniques for device coordination are generally inefficient. In particular, conventional device coordination systems do not effectively handle situations involving variable latency among a plurality of devices. When multiple devices must coordinate to respond to an input, such as a user request, such devices must rely on precise time synchronization in order to communicate with one another and quickly determine a course of action. For example, in responding to a given task, an older model device may be unable to assemble the information necessary in order to communicate with the other devices when using conventional device coordination systems. Accordingly, any relative delay introduced into the device coordination will lead to synchronization problems, resulting in a poor user experience (e.g., delayed responses or multiple responses from multiple devices).
In accordance with some systems, computer-readable media, and processes described herein, device coordination is improved by accommodating slower devices while minimizing impact on faster devices. In one example process, an event associated with an audio input is detected with a first process at an electronic device. In accordance with a detection of the event, a delay value associated with the electronic device is determined. The delay value corresponds to a time required to determine, with a second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger (e.g., “Hey Siri” to engage or initiate a virtual assistant). In accordance with a determination that the delay value exceeds a threshold, the delay value is broadcast during a first advertising session, and a determination is made, during a second advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input (or forgo responding in favor of another device, for example). In accordance with a determination that the threshold is not exceeded, a determination is made during the first advertising session whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input, or if a delay value is receive from at least a second device, a determination is made during a second advertising session whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input.
Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first input could be termed a second input, and, similarly, a second input could be termed a first input, without departing from the scope of the various described examples. The first input and the second input are both inputs and, in some cases, are separate and different inputs.
The terminology used in the description of the various described examples herein is for the purpose of describing particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described examples and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
The term “if” may be construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” may be construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.
1. System and Environment
Specifically, a digital assistant is capable of accepting a user request at least partially in the form of a natural language command, request, statement, narrative, and/or inquiry. Typically, the user request seeks either an informational answer or performance of a task by the digital assistant. A satisfactory response to the user request includes a provision of the requested informational answer, a performance of the requested task, or a combination of the two. For example, a user asks the digital assistant a question, such as “Where am I right now?” Based on the user's current location, the digital assistant answers, “You are in Central Park near the west gate.” The user also requests the performance of a task, for example, “Please invite my friends to my girlfriend's birthday party next week.” In response, the digital assistant can acknowledge the request by saying “Yes, right away,” and then send a suitable calendar invite on behalf of the user to each of the user's friends listed in the user's electronic address book. During performance of a requested task, the digital assistant sometimes interacts with the user in a continuous dialogue involving multiple exchanges of information over an extended period of time. There are numerous other ways of interacting with a digital assistant to request information or performance of various tasks. In addition to providing verbal responses and taking programmed actions, the digital assistant also provides responses in other visual or audio forms, e.g., as text, alerts, music, videos, animations, etc.
As shown in
In some examples, DA server 106 includes client-facing I/O interface 112, one or more processing modules 114, data and models 116, and I/O interface to external services 118. The client-facing I/O interface 112 facilitates the client-facing input and output processing for DA server 106. One or more processing modules 114 utilize data and models 116 to process speech input and determine the user's intent based on natural language input. Further, one or more processing modules 114 perform task execution based on inferred user intent. In some examples, DA server 106 communicates with external services 120 through network(s) 110 for task completion or information acquisition. I/O interface to external services 118 facilitates such communications.
User device 104 can be any suitable electronic device. In some examples, user device 104 is a portable multifunctional device (e.g., device 200, described below with reference to
Examples of communication network(s) 110 include local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN), e.g., the Internet. Communication network(s) 110 is implemented using any known network protocol, including various wired or wireless protocols, such as, for example, Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, or any other suitable communication protocol.
Server system 108 is implemented on one or more standalone data processing apparatus or a distributed network of computers.

In some examples, user device 104 communicates with DA server 106 via second user device 122. Second user device 122 is similar or identical to user device 104. For example, second user device 122 is similar to devices 200, 400, or 600 described below with reference to
In some examples, user device 104 is configured to communicate abbreviated requests for data to second user device 122 to reduce the amount of information transmitted from user device 104. Second user device 122 is configured to determine supplemental information to add to the abbreviated request to generate a complete request to transmit to DA server 106. This system architecture can advantageously allow user device 104 having limited communication capabilities and/or limited battery power (e.g., a watch or a similar compact electronic device) to access services provided by DA server 106 by using second user device 122, having greater communication capabilities and/or battery power (e.g., a mobile phone, laptop computer, tablet computer, or the like), as a proxy to DA server 106.

2. Electronic Devices
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of electronic devices for implementing the client-side portion of a digital assistant.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

Memory controller 222 controls access to memory 202 by other components of device 200.
In some examples, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of memory 202 is used to store instructions (e.g., for performing aspects of processes described below) for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. In other examples, the instructions (e.g., for performing aspects of the processes described below) are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (not shown) of the server system 108 or are divided between the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of memory 202 and the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of server system 108.
Peripherals interface 218 is used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 220 and memory 202.

A quick press of the push button disengages a lock of touch screen 212 or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 306) turns power to device 200 on or off. The user is able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. Touch screen 212 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
Touch-sensitive display 212 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 256 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 212. Touch screen 212 displays visual output to the user. The visual output includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output correspond to user-interface objects.
Touch screen 212 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 212 and display controller 256 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 202) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 212 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 212. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 212 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.
Touch screen 212 uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. Touch screen 212 and display controller 256 detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 212. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 212 is analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 212 displays visual output from device 200, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 212 is as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
Touch screen 212 has, for example, a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user makes contact with touch screen 212 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 200 includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 212 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.
Device 200 also includes power system 262 for powering the various components. Power system 262 includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.
Device 200 also includes one or more optical sensors 264.
Device 200 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 265.
Device 200 also includes one or more proximity sensors 266.
Device 200 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 267.
Device 200 also includes one or more accelerometers 268.
In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 202 include operating system 226, communication module (or set of instructions) 228, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 230, graphics module (or set of instructions) 232, text input module (or set of instructions) 234, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 235, Digital Assistant Client Module 229, and applications (or sets of instructions) 236. Further, memory 202 stores data and models, such as user data and models 231. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 202 (
Operating system 226 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 228 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 224 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 208 and/or external port 224. External port 224 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
Contact/motion module 230 optionally detects contact with touch screen 212 (in conjunction with display controller 256) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 230 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 230 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 230 and display controller 256 detect contact on a touchpad.
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 230 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 200). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
Contact/motion module 230 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.
Graphics module 232 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 212 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.
In some embodiments, graphics module 232 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 232 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 256.
Haptic feedback module 233 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 267 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 200 in response to user interactions with device 200.

For example, digital assistant client module 229 is capable of accepting voice input (e.g., speech input), text input, touch input, and/or gestural input through various user interfaces (e.g., microphone 213, accelerometer(s) 268, touch-sensitive display system 212, optical sensor(s) 229, other input control devices 216, etc.) of portable multifunction device 200. Digital assistant client module 229 is also capable of providing output in audio (e.g., speech output), visual, and/or tactile forms through various output interfaces (e.g., speaker 211, touch-sensitive display system 212, tactile output generator(s) 267, etc.) of portable multifunction device 200. For example, output is provided as voice, sound, alerts, text messages, menus, graphics, videos, animations, vibrations, and/or combinations of two or more of the above. During operation, digital assistant client module 229 communicates with DA server 106 using RF circuitry 208.
User data and models 231 include various data associated with the user (e.g., user-specific vocabulary data, user preference data, user-specified name pronunciations, data from the user's electronic address book, to-do lists, shopping lists, etc.) to provide the client-side functionalities of the digital assistant. Further, user data and models 231 include various models (e.g., speech recognition models, statistical language models, natural language processing models, ontology, task flow models, service models, etc.) for processing user input and determining user intent.
In some examples, digital assistant client module 229 utilizes the various sensors, subsystems, and peripheral devices of portable multifunction device 200 to gather additional information from the surrounding environment of the portable multifunction device 200 to establish a context associated with a user, the current user interaction, and/or the current user input. In some examples, digital assistant client module 229 provides the contextual information or a subset thereof with the user input to DA server 106 to help infer the user's intent. In some examples, the digital assistant also uses the contextual information to determine how to prepare and deliver outputs to the user. Contextual information is referred to as context data.
In some examples, the contextual information that accompanies the user input includes sensor information, e.g., lighting, ambient noise, ambient temperature, images or videos of the surrounding environment, etc. In some examples, the contextual information can also include the physical state of the device, e.g., device orientation, device location, device temperature, power level, speed, acceleration, motion patterns, cellular signals strength, etc. In some examples, information related to the software state of DA server 106, e.g., running processes, installed programs, past and present network activities, background services, error logs, resources usage, etc., and of portable multifunction device 200 is provided to DA server 106 as contextual information associated with a user input.
In some examples, the digital assistant client module 229 selectively provides information (e.g., user data 231) stored on the portable multifunction device 200 in response to requests from DA server 106. In some examples, digital assistant client module 229 also elicits additional input from the user via a natural language dialogue or other user interfaces upon request by DA server 106. Digital assistant client module 229 passes the additional input to DA server 106 to help DA server 106 in intent deduction and/or fulfillment of the user's intent expressed in the user request.

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules can be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module can be combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 252,
In some embodiments, device 200 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 200, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 200 is reduced.
The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 200 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 200. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Event sorter 270 receives event information and determines the application 236-1 and application view 291 of application 236-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 270 includes event monitor 271 and event dispatcher module 274. In some embodiments, application 236-1 includes application internal state 292, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 212 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 257 is used by event sorter 270 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 292 is used by event sorter 270 to determine application views 291 to which to deliver event information.
In some embodiments, application internal state 292 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 236-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 236-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 236-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
Event monitor 271 receives event information from peripherals interface 218. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 212, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 218 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 206 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 266, accelerometer(s) 268, and/or microphone 213 (through audio circuitry 210). Information that peripherals interface 218 receives from I/O subsystem 206 includes information from touch-sensitive display 212 or a touch-sensitive surface.
In some embodiments, event monitor 271 sends requests to the peripherals interface 218 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 218 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 218 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
In some embodiments, event sorter 270 also includes a hit view determination module 272 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 273.
Hit view determination module 272 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 212 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs is determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
Hit view determination module 272 receives information related to sub events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 272 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 272, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
Active event recognizer determination module 273 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 273 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 273 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
Event dispatcher module 274 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 280). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 273, event dispatcher module 274 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 273. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 274 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 282.
In some embodiments, operating system 226 includes event sorter 270. Alternatively, application 236-1 includes event sorter 270. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 270 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 202, such as contact/motion module 230.
In some embodiments, application 236-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 290 and one or more application views 291, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 291 of the application 236-1 includes one or more event recognizers 280. Typically, a respective application view 291 includes a plurality of event recognizers 280. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 280 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 236-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 290 includes one or more of: data updater 276, object updater 277, GUI updater 278, and/or event data 279 received from event sorter 270. Event handler 290 utilizes or calls data updater 276, object updater 277, or GUI updater 278 to update the application internal state 292. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 291 include one or more respective event handlers 290. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 276, object updater 277, and GUI updater 278 are included in a respective application view 291.
A respective event recognizer 280 receives event information (e.g., event data 279) from event sorter 270 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 280 includes event receiver 282 and event comparator 284. In some embodiments, event recognizer 280 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 283, and event delivery instructions 288 (which include sub-event delivery instructions).
Event receiver 282 receives event information from event sorter 270. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
Event comparator 284 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 284 includes event definitions 286. Event definitions 286 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (287-1), event 2 (287-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (287) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (287-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (287-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 212, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 290.
In some embodiments, event definition 287 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 284 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 212, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 212, event comparator 284 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 290, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 290 should be activated. For example, event comparator 284 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (287) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
When a respective event recognizer 280 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 286, the respective event recognizer 280 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 280 includes metadata 283 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 283 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 283 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 280 activates event handler 290 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 280 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 290. Activating an event handler 290 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 280 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 290 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 288 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
In some embodiments, data updater 276 creates and updates data used in application 236-1. For example, data updater 276 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 237, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 277 creates and updates objects used in application 236-1. For example, object updater 277 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 278 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 278 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 232 for display on a touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, event handler(s) 290 includes or has access to data updater 276, object updater 277, and GUI updater 278. In some embodiments, data updater 276, object updater 277, and GUI updater 278 are included in a single module of a respective application 236-1 or application view 291. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 200 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
Device 200 also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 304. As described previously, menu button 304 is used to navigate to any application 236 in a set of applications that is executed on device 200. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 212.
In one embodiment, device 200 includes touch screen 212, menu button 304, push button 306 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 308, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 310, headset jack 312, and docking/charging external port 224. Push button 306 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 200 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 213. Device 200 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 265 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 212 and/or one or more tactile output generators 267 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 200.

Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that can be implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 200.
Signal strength indicator(s) 502 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
Although some of the examples which follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 212 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in
Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
Techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
In some embodiments, device 600 has one or more input mechanisms 606 and 608. Input mechanisms 606 and 608, if included, are physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 600 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 600 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 600 to be worn by a user.
Input mechanism 608 is a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 600 includes, for example, various sensors, such as GPS sensor 632, accelerometer 634, directional sensor 640 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 636, motion sensor 638, and/or a combination thereof, all of which are operatively connected to I/O section 614.
Memory 618 of personal electronic device 600 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 616, for example, cause the computer processors to perform the techniques and processes described below. The computer-executable instructions, for example, are also stored and/or transported within any non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. Personal electronic device 600 is not limited to the components and configuration of
As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, for example, displayed on the display screen of devices 200, 400, and/or 600 (
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 455 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
3. Digital Assistant System
Digital assistant system 700 includes memory 702, one or more processors 704, input/output (I/O) interface 706, and network communications interface 708. These components can communicate with one another over one or more communication buses or signal lines 710.
In some examples, memory 702 includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium, such as high-speed random access memory and/or a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium (e.g., one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices).
In some examples, I/O interface 706 couples input/output devices 716 of digital assistant system 700, such as displays, keyboards, touch screens, and microphones, to user interface module 722. I/O interface 706, in conjunction with user interface module 722, receives user inputs (e.g., voice input, keyboard inputs, touch inputs, etc.) and processes them accordingly. In some examples, e.g., when the digital assistant is implemented on a standalone user device, digital assistant system 700 includes any of the components and I/O communication interfaces described with respect to devices 200, 400, or 600 in
In some examples, the network communications interface 708 includes wired communication port(s) 712 and/or wireless transmission and reception circuitry 714. The wired communication port(s) receives and send communication signals via one or more wired interfaces, e.g., Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc. The wireless circuitry 714 receives and sends RF signals and/or optical signals from/to communications networks and other communications devices. The wireless communications use any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols, and technologies, such as GSM, EDGE, CDMA, TDMA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, VoIP, Wi-MAX, or any other suitable communication protocol. Network communications interface 708 enables communication between digital assistant system 700 with networks, such as the Internet, an intranet, and/or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN), and/or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices.
In some examples, memory 702, or the computer-readable storage media of memory 702, stores programs, modules, instructions, and data structures including all or a subset of: operating system 718, communications module 720, user interface module 722, one or more applications 724, and digital assistant module 726. In particular, memory 702, or the computer-readable storage media of memory 702, stores instructions for performing the processes described below. One or more processors 704 execute these programs, modules, and instructions, and reads/writes from/to the data structures.
Operating system 718 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, iOS, OS X, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communications between various hardware, firmware, and software components.
Communications module 720 facilitates communications between digital assistant system 700 with other devices over network communications interface 708. For example, communications module 720 communicates with RF circuitry 208 of electronic devices such as devices 200, 400, and 600 shown in
User interface module 722 receives commands and/or inputs from a user via I/O interface 706 (e.g., from a keyboard, touch screen, pointing device, controller, and/or microphone), and generate user interface objects on a display. User interface module 722 also prepares and delivers outputs (e.g., speech, sound, animation, text, icons, vibrations, haptic feedback, light, etc.) to the user via the I/O interface 706 (e.g., through displays, audio channels, speakers, touch-pads, etc.).
Applications 724 include programs and/or modules that are configured to be executed by one or more processors 704. For example, if the digital assistant system is implemented on a standalone user device, applications 724 include user applications, such as games, a calendar application, a navigation application, or an email application. If digital assistant system 700 is implemented on a server, applications 724 include resource management applications, diagnostic applications, or scheduling applications, for example.
Memory 702 also stores digital assistant module 726 (or the server portion of a digital assistant). In some examples, digital assistant module 726 includes the following sub-modules, or a subset or superset thereof: input/output processing module 728, speech-to-text (STT) processing module 730, natural language processing module 732, dialogue flow processing module 734, task flow processing module 736, service processing module 738, and speech synthesis processing module 740. Each of these modules has access to one or more of the following systems or data and models of the digital assistant module 726, or a subset or superset thereof: ontology 760, vocabulary index 744, user data 748, task flow models 754, service models 756, and ASR systems 758.
In some examples, using the processing modules, data, and models implemented in digital assistant module 726, the digital assistant can perform at least some of the following: converting speech input into text; identifying a user's intent expressed in a natural language input received from the user; actively eliciting and obtaining information needed to fully infer the user's intent (e.g., by disambiguating words, games, intentions, etc.); determining the task flow for fulfilling the inferred intent; and executing the task flow to fulfill the inferred intent.
In some examples, as shown in
STT processing module 730 includes one or more ASR systems 758. The one or more ASR systems 758 can process the speech input that is received through I/O processing module 728 to produce a recognition result. Each ASR system 758 includes a front-end speech pre-processor. The front-end speech pre-processor extracts representative features from the speech input. For example, the front-end speech pre-processor performs a Fourier transform on the speech input to extract spectral features that characterize the speech input as a sequence of representative multi-dimensional vectors. Further, each ASR system 758 includes one or more speech recognition models (e.g., acoustic models and/or language models) and implements one or more speech recognition engines. Examples of speech recognition models include Hidden Markov Models, Gaussian-Mixture Models, Deep Neural Network Models, n-gram language models, and other statistical models. Examples of speech recognition engines include the dynamic time warping based engines and weighted finite-state transducers (WFST) based engines. The one or more speech recognition models and the one or more speech recognition engines are used to process the extracted representative features of the front-end speech pre-processor to produce intermediate recognitions results (e.g., phonemes, phonemic strings, and sub-words), and ultimately, text recognition results (e.g., words, word strings, or sequence of tokens). In some examples, the speech input is processed at least partially by a third-party service or on the user's device (e.g., device 104, 200, 400, or 600) to produce the recognition result. Once STT processing module 730 produces recognition results containing a text string (e.g., words, or sequence of words, or sequence of tokens), the recognition result is passed to natural language processing module 732 for intent deduction. In some examples, STT processing module 730 produces multiple candidate text representations of the speech input. Each candidate text representation is a sequence of words or tokens corresponding to the speech input. In some examples, each candidate text representation is associated with a speech recognition confidence score. Based on the speech recognition confidence scores, STT processing module 730 ranks the candidate text representations and provides the n-best (e.g., n highest ranked) candidate text representation(s) to natural language processing module 732 for intent deduction, where n is a predetermined integer greater than zero. For example, in one example, only the highest ranked (n=1) candidate text representation is passed to natural language processing module 732 for intent deduction. In another example, the five highest ranked (n=5) candidate text representations are passed to natural language processing module 732 for intent deduction.
More details on the speech-to-text processing are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 13/236,942 for “Consolidating Speech Recognition Results,” filed on Sep. 20, 2011, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some examples, STT processing module 730 includes and/or accesses a vocabulary of recognizable words via phonetic alphabet conversion module 731. Each vocabulary word is associated with one or more candidate pronunciations of the word represented in a speech recognition phonetic alphabet. In particular, the vocabulary of recognizable words includes a word that is associated with a plurality of candidate pronunciations. For example, the vocabulary includes the word “tomato” that is associated with the candidate pronunciations of and
. Further, vocabulary words are associated with custom candidate pronunciations that are based on previous speech inputs from the user. Such custom candidate pronunciations are stored in STT processing module 730 and are associated with a particular user via the user's profile on the device. In some examples, the candidate pronunciations for words are determined based on the spelling of the word and one or more linguistic and/or phonetic rules. In some examples, the candidate pronunciations are manually generated, e.g., based on known canonical pronunciations.
In some examples, the candidate pronunciations are ranked based on the commonness of the candidate pronunciation. For example, the candidate pronunciation is ranked higher than
, because the former is a more commonly used pronunciation (e.g., among all users, for users in a particular geographical region, or for any other appropriate subset of users). In some examples, candidate pronunciations are ranked based on whether the candidate pronunciation is a custom candidate pronunciation associated with the user. For example, custom candidate pronunciations are ranked higher than canonical candidate pronunciations. This can be useful for recognizing proper nouns having a unique pronunciation that deviates from canonical pronunciation. In some examples, candidate pronunciations are associated with one or more speech characteristics, such as geographic origin, nationality, or ethnicity. For example, the candidate pronunciation
is associated with the United States, whereas the candidate pronunciation
is associated with Great Britain. Further, the rank of the candidate pronunciation is based on one or more characteristics (e.g., geographic origin, nationality, ethnicity, etc.) of the user stored in the user's profile on the device. For example, it can be determined from the user's profile that the user is associated with the United States. Based on the user being associated with the United States, the candidate pronunciation
(associated with the United States) is ranked higher than the candidate pronunciation
(associated with Great Britain). In some examples, one of the ranked candidate pronunciations is selected as a predicted pronunciation (e.g., the most likely pronunciation).
When a speech input is received, STT processing module 730 is used to determine the phonemes corresponding to the speech input (e.g., using an acoustic model), and then attempt to determine words that match the phonemes (e.g., using a language model). For example, if STT processing module 730 first identifies the sequence of phonemes corresponding to a portion of the speech input, it can then determine, based on vocabulary index 744, that this sequence corresponds to the word “tomato.”
In some examples, STT processing module 730 uses approximate matching techniques to determine words in an utterance. Thus, for example, the STT processing module 730 determines that the sequence of phonemes corresponds to the word “tomato,” even if that particular sequence of phonemes is not one of the candidate sequence of phonemes for that word.
Natural language processing module 732 (“natural language processor”) of the digital assistant takes the n-best candidate text representation(s) (“word sequence(s)” or “token sequence(s)”) generated by STT processing module 730, and attempts to associate each of the candidate text representations with one or more “actionable intents” recognized by the digital assistant. An “actionable intent” (or “user intent”) represents a task that can be performed by the digital assistant, and can have an associated task flow implemented in task flow models 754. The associated task flow is a series of programmed actions and steps that the digital assistant takes in order to perform the task. The scope of a digital assistant's capabilities is dependent on the number and variety of task flows that have been implemented and stored in task flow models 754, or in other words, on the number and variety of “actionable intents” that the digital assistant recognizes. The effectiveness of the digital assistant, however, also dependents on the assistant's ability to infer the correct “actionable intent(s)” from the user request expressed in natural language.
In some examples, in addition to the sequence of words or tokens obtained from STT processing module 730, natural language processing module 732 also receives contextual information associated with the user request, e.g., from I/O processing module 728. The natural language processing module 732 optionally uses the contextual information to clarify, supplement, and/or further define the information contained in the candidate text representations received from STT processing module 730. The contextual information includes, for example, user preferences, hardware, and/or software states of the user device, sensor information collected before, during, or shortly after the user request, prior interactions (e.g., dialogue) between the digital assistant and the user, and the like. As described herein, contextual information is, in some examples, dynamic, and changes with time, location, content of the dialogue, and other factors.
In some examples, the natural language processing is based on, e.g., ontology 760. Ontology 760 is a hierarchical structure containing many nodes, each node representing either an “actionable intent” or a “property” relevant to one or more of the “actionable intents” or other “properties.” As noted above, an “actionable intent” represents a task that the digital assistant is capable of performing, i.e., it is “actionable” or can be acted on. A “property” represents a parameter associated with an actionable intent or a sub-aspect of another property. A linkage between an actionable intent node and a property node in ontology 760 defines how a parameter represented by the property node pertains to the task represented by the actionable intent node.
In some examples, ontology 760 is made up of actionable intent nodes and property nodes. Within ontology 760, each actionable intent node is linked to one or more property nodes either directly or through one or more intermediate property nodes. Similarly, each property node is linked to one or more actionable intent nodes either directly or through one or more intermediate property nodes. For example, as shown in
In addition, property nodes “cuisine,” “price range,” “phone number,” and “location” are sub-nodes of the property node “restaurant,” and are each linked to the “restaurant reservation” node (i.e., the actionable intent node) through the intermediate property node “restaurant.” For another example, as shown in
An actionable intent node, along with its linked property nodes, is described as a “domain.” In the present discussion, each domain is associated with a respective actionable intent, and refers to the group of nodes (and the relationships there between) associated with the particular actionable intent. For example, ontology 760 shown in
While
In some examples, ontology 760 includes all the domains (and hence actionable intents) that the digital assistant is capable of understanding and acting upon. In some examples, ontology 760 is modified, such as by adding or removing entire domains or nodes, or by modifying relationships between the nodes within the ontology 760.
In some examples, nodes associated with multiple related actionable intents are clustered under a “super domain” in ontology 760. For example, a “travel” super-domain includes a cluster of property nodes and actionable intent nodes related to travel. The actionable intent nodes related to travel includes “airline reservation,” “hotel reservation,” “car rental,” “get directions,” “find points of interest,” and so on. The actionable intent nodes under the same super domain (e.g., the “travel” super domain) have many property nodes in common. For example, the actionable intent nodes for “airline reservation,” “hotel reservation,” “car rental,” “get directions,” and “find points of interest” share one or more of the property nodes “start location,” “destination,” “departure date/time,” “arrival date/time,” and “party size.”
In some examples, each node in ontology 760 is associated with a set of words and/or phrases that are relevant to the property or actionable intent represented by the node. The respective set of words and/or phrases associated with each node are the so-called “vocabulary” associated with the node. The respective set of words and/or phrases associated with each node are stored in vocabulary index 744 in association with the property or actionable intent represented by the node. For example, returning to
Natural language processing module 732 receives the candidate text representations (e.g., text string(s) or token sequence(s)) from STT processing module 730, and for each candidate representation, determines what nodes are implicated by the words in the candidate text representation. In some examples, if a word or phrase in the candidate text representation is found to be associated with one or more nodes in ontology 760 (via vocabulary index 744), the word or phrase “triggers” or “activates” those nodes. Based on the quantity and/or relative importance of the activated nodes, natural language processing module 732 selects one of the actionable intents as the task that the user intended the digital assistant to perform. In some examples, the domain that has the most “triggered” nodes is selected. In some examples, the domain having the highest confidence value (e.g., based on the relative importance of its various triggered nodes) is selected. In some examples, the domain is selected based on a combination of the number and the importance of the triggered nodes. In some examples, additional factors are considered in selecting the node as well, such as whether the digital assistant has previously correctly interpreted a similar request from a user.
User data 748 includes user-specific information, such as user-specific vocabulary, user preferences, user address, user's default and secondary languages, user's contact list, and other short-term or long-term information for each user. In some examples, natural language processing module 732 uses the user-specific information to supplement the information contained in the user input to further define the user intent. For example, for a user request “invite my friends to my birthday party,” natural language processing module 732 is able to access user data 748 to determine who the “friends” are and when and where the “birthday party” would be held, rather than requiring the user to provide such information explicitly in his/her request.
It should be recognized that in some examples, natural language processing module 732 is implemented using one or more machine learning mechanisms (e.g., neural networks). In particular, the one or more machine learning mechanisms are configured to receive a candidate text representation and contextual information associated with the candidate text representation. Based on the candidate text representation and the associated contextual information, the one or more machine learning mechanisms are configured to determine intent confidence scores over a set of candidate actionable intents. Natural language processing module 732 can select one or more candidate actionable intents from the set of candidate actionable intents based on the determined intent confidence scores. In some examples, an ontology (e.g., ontology 760) is also used to select the one or more candidate actionable intents from the set of candidate actionable intents.
Other details of searching an ontology based on a token string are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 12/341,743 for “Method and Apparatus for Searching Using An Active Ontology,” filed Dec. 22, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some examples, once natural language processing module 732 identifies an actionable intent (or domain) based on the user request, natural language processing module 732 generates a structured query to represent the identified actionable intent. In some examples, the structured query includes parameters for one or more nodes within the domain for the actionable intent, and at least some of the parameters are populated with the specific information and requirements specified in the user request. For example, the user says “Make me a dinner reservation at a sushi place at 7.” In this case, natural language processing module 732 is able to correctly identify the actionable intent to be “restaurant reservation” based on the user input. According to the ontology, a structured query for a “restaurant reservation” domain includes parameters such as {Cuisine}, {Time}, {Date}, {Party Size}, and the like. In some examples, based on the speech input and the text derived from the speech input using STT processing module 730, natural language processing module 732 generates a partial structured query for the restaurant reservation domain, where the partial structured query includes the parameters {Cuisine=“Sushi”} and {Time=“7 pm”}. However, in this example, the user's utterance contains insufficient information to complete the structured query associated with the domain. Therefore, other necessary parameters such as {Party Size} and {Date} are not specified in the structured query based on the information currently available. In some examples, natural language processing module 732 populates some parameters of the structured query with received contextual information. For example, in some examples, if the user requested a sushi restaurant “near me,” natural language processing module 732 populates a {location} parameter in the structured query with GPS coordinates from the user device.
In some examples, natural language processing module 732 identifies multiple candidate actionable intents for each candidate text representation received from STT processing module 730. Further, in some examples, a respective structured query (partial or complete) is generated for each identified candidate actionable intent. Natural language processing module 732 determines an intent confidence score for each candidate actionable intent and ranks the candidate actionable intents based on the intent confidence scores. In some examples, natural language processing module 732 passes the generated structured query (or queries), including any completed parameters, to task flow processing module 736 (“task flow processor”). In some examples, the structured query (or queries) for the m-best (e.g., m highest ranked) candidate actionable intents are provided to task flow processing module 736, where m is a predetermined integer greater than zero. In some examples, the structured query (or queries) for the m-best candidate actionable intents are provided to task flow processing module 736 with the corresponding candidate text representation(s).
Other details of inferring a user intent based on multiple candidate actionable intents determined from multiple candidate text representations of a speech input are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 14/298,725 for “System and Method for Inferring User Intent From Speech Inputs,” filed Jun. 6, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Task flow processing module 736 is configured to receive the structured query (or queries) from natural language processing module 732, complete the structured query, if necessary, and perform the actions required to “complete” the user's ultimate request. In some examples, the various procedures necessary to complete these tasks are provided in task flow models 754. In some examples, task flow models 754 include procedures for obtaining additional information from the user and task flows for performing actions associated with the actionable intent.
As described above, in order to complete a structured query, task flow processing module 736 needs to initiate additional dialogue with the user in order to obtain additional information, and/or disambiguate potentially ambiguous utterances. When such interactions are necessary, task flow processing module 736 invokes dialogue flow processing module 734 to engage in a dialogue with the user. In some examples, dialogue flow processing module 734 determines how (and/or when) to ask the user for the additional information and receives and processes the user responses. The questions are provided to and answers are received from the users through I/O processing module 728. In some examples, dialogue flow processing module 734 presents dialogue output to the user via audio and/or visual output, and receives input from the user via spoken or physical (e.g., clicking) responses. Continuing with the example above, when task flow processing module 736 invokes dialogue flow processing module 734 to determine the “party size” and “date” information for the structured query associated with the domain “restaurant reservation,” dialogue flow processing module 734 generates questions such as “For how many people?” and “On which day?” to pass to the user. Once answers are received from the user, dialogue flow processing module 734 then populates the structured query with the missing information, or pass the information to task flow processing module 736 to complete the missing information from the structured query.
Once task flow processing module 736 has completed the structured query for an actionable intent, task flow processing module 736 proceeds to perform the ultimate task associated with the actionable intent. Accordingly, task flow processing module 736 executes the steps and instructions in the task flow model according to the specific parameters contained in the structured query. For example, the task flow model for the actionable intent of “restaurant reservation” includes steps and instructions for contacting a restaurant and actually requesting a reservation for a particular party size at a particular time. For example, using a structured query such as: {restaurant reservation, restaurant=ABC Café, date=3/12/2012, time=7 pm, party size=5}, task flow processing module 736 performs the steps of: (1) logging onto a server of the ABC Café or a restaurant reservation system such as OPENTABLE®, (2) entering the date, time, and party size information in a form on the website, (3) submitting the form, and (4) making a calendar entry for the reservation in the user's calendar.
In some examples, task flow processing module 736 employs the assistance of service processing module 738 (“service processing module”) to complete a task requested in the user input or to provide an informational answer requested in the user input. For example, service processing module 738 acts on behalf of task flow processing module 736 to make a phone call, set a calendar entry, invoke a map search, invoke or interact with other user applications installed on the user device, and invoke or interact with third-party services (e.g., a restaurant reservation portal, a social networking website, a banking portal, etc.). In some examples, the protocols and application programming interfaces (API) required by each service are specified by a respective service model among service models 756. Service processing module 738 accesses the appropriate service model for a service and generates requests for the service in accordance with the protocols and APIs required by the service according to the service model.
For example, if a restaurant has enabled an online reservation service, the restaurant submits a service model specifying the necessary parameters for making a reservation and the APIs for communicating the values of the necessary parameter to the online reservation service. When requested by task flow processing module 736, service processing module 738 establishes a network connection with the online reservation service using the web address stored in the service model, and sends the necessary parameters of the reservation (e.g., time, date, party size) to the online reservation interface in a format according to the API of the online reservation service.
In some examples, natural language processing module 732, dialogue flow processing module 734, and task flow processing module 736 are used collectively and iteratively to infer and define the user's intent, obtain information to further clarify and refine the user intent, and finally generate a response (i.e., an output to the user, or the completion of a task) to fulfill the user's intent. The generated response is a dialogue response to the speech input that at least partially fulfills the user's intent. Further, in some examples, the generated response is output as a speech output. In these examples, the generated response is sent to speech synthesis processing module 740 (e.g., speech synthesizer) where it can be processed to synthesize the dialogue response in speech form. In yet other examples, the generated response is data content relevant to satisfying a user request in the speech input.
In examples where task flow processing module 736 receives multiple structured queries from natural language processing module 732, task flow processing module 736 initially processes the first structured query of the received structured queries to attempt to complete the first structured query and/or execute one or more tasks or actions represented by the first structured query. In some examples, the first structured query corresponds to the highest ranked actionable intent. In other examples, the first structured query is selected from the received structured queries based on a combination of the corresponding speech recognition confidence scores and the corresponding intent confidence scores. In some examples, if task flow processing module 736 encounters an error during processing of the first structured query (e.g., due to an inability to determine a necessary parameter), the task flow processing module 736 can proceed to select and process a second structured query of the received structured queries that corresponds to a lower ranked actionable intent. The second structured query is selected, for example, based on the speech recognition confidence score of the corresponding candidate text representation, the intent confidence score of the corresponding candidate actionable intent, a missing necessary parameter in the first structured query, or any combination thereof.
Speech synthesis processing module 740 is configured to synthesize speech outputs for presentation to the user. Speech synthesis processing module 740 synthesizes speech outputs based on text provided by the digital assistant. For example, the generated dialogue response is in the form of a text string. Speech synthesis processing module 740 converts the text string to an audible speech output. Speech synthesis processing module 740 uses any appropriate speech synthesis technique in order to generate speech outputs from text, including, but not limited, to concatenative synthesis, unit selection synthesis, diphone synthesis, domain-specific synthesis, formant synthesis, articulatory synthesis, hidden Markov model (HMM) based synthesis, and sinewave synthesis. In some examples, speech synthesis processing module 740 is configured to synthesize individual words based on phonemic strings corresponding to the words. For example, a phonemic string is associated with a word in the generated dialogue response. The phonemic string is stored in metadata associated with the word. Speech synthesis processing module 740 is configured to directly process the phonemic string in the metadata to synthesize the word in speech form.
In some examples, instead of (or in addition to) using speech synthesis processing module 740, speech synthesis is performed on a remote device (e.g., the server system 108), and the synthesized speech is sent to the user device for output to the user. For example, this can occur in some implementations where outputs for a digital assistant are generated at a server system. And because server systems generally have more processing power or resources than a user device, it is possible to obtain higher quality speech outputs than would be practical with client-side synthesis.

No. 12/987,982, entitled “Intelligent Automated Assistant,” filed Jan. 10, 2011, and U.S. Utility application Ser.

4. Variable Latency Device Coordination
In some examples, the electronic device may be any device described herein, including but not limited to devices 104, 200, 400, and 600 (
In operation, the electronic device detects, with a first process, an event 802 associated with audio input 804. In some examples, the audio input 804 may include one or more user utterances. For example, audio input 804 may include the user utterance “Hey Siri,” which may correspond to a spoken trigger. The audio input 804 may, for example, be several seconds in length, and may end at a time corresponding to event 802 on timeline 806. In some examples, detecting an event associated with an audio input includes generating data 808 indicating that the event 802 associated with the audio input was detected. In some examples, the data 808 indicating that the event 802 was detected may be referred to as a first pass trigger, and may be generated at a time corresponding to data 808 on timeline 806.
In some examples, the first process may be a low power process that requires minimal power consumption and computing resources. For example, the first process may determine a possibility that the audio input 804 includes the spoken trigger. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is powered on and is not in a standby mode, process 800 may continuously determine, with the first process, whether an event 802 associated with an audio input 804 is detected. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that a secondary device, such as a wireless headset, is connected to the electronic device, process 800 may generate data 808 indicating that the event 802 associated with the audio input was detected. For example, due to a time required to communicate necessary information from a specific secondary device to the electronic device (e.g., a Bluetooth headset to a mobile phone), process 800 may always generate a first pass trigger when a specific secondary device is connected to the electronic device.
In some examples, in accordance with a detection of the event 802, the electronic device determines a first delay value associated with the electronic device. In some examples, the first delay value corresponds to a time required to determine, with a second process, whether the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the first delay value may be based on historical timing information associated with determining whether an audio input includes a spoken trigger. For example, if a respective device routinely requires between ten millisecond and twenty milliseconds to determine whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger, the first delay value may be determined based on an average of the historical timing information, such as fifteen milliseconds. As another example, the first delay value may be determined based on an maximum of the historical timing information, such as twenty milliseconds. In some examples, the second process, used to determine whether the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger, may require more power consumption and computing resources than the first process. For example, the second process may utilize one or more language processing modules, such as STT processing module 730 and/or natural language processing module 732, in order to verify whether the audio input 804 includes the spoken trigger.
In some examples, the first delay value corresponds to device processing capabilities, wireless connection speed, wireless connection quality, and/or any other factors that affect the time required to determine whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the first delay value corresponds to a total processing time associated with the second process. For example, a short first delay value may correspond to a fast processing time associated with the electronic device, and specifically the second process. As another example, a long first delay value may correspond to slow processing time associated with electronic device, and specifically the second process. As yet another example, a short first delay value may correspond to a fast connection speed associated with a wireless connection that the electronic device is utilizing. As another example, a long first delay value may correspond to a slow connection speed associated with a wireless connection that the electronic device is utilizing. In some examples, the length of the first delay value may correspond to a combination of fast or slow processing times, fast or slow wireless connection speeds, or other factors that may affect the time required to determine whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger. For example, an above average first delay value may correspond to a fast processing time and an average connection speed.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session 812, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input 804. For example, when any potential delay permits the electronic device to assemble, within a fixed-time deadline, the necessary information to perform the second process to determine whether the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger, the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold. Similarly, when a given delay prohibits the electronic device from assembling, within the fixed-time deadline, the necessary information to perform the second process to determine whether the audio input 804 includes the spoken trigger, the first delay value does exceed a predetermined threshold. In some examples, the fixed-time deadline may correspond to the end of a standard target, depicted by time point 814 on timeline 806. In some examples, the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold when the electronic device is able to assemble, prior to time point 814, the necessary information to determine whether the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger.
In some examples, determining, with a second process, that the audio input includes a spoken trigger includes generating data 810 indicating that the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the data 810 indicating that the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger may be referred to as a second pass trigger, and may be generated at a time corresponding to data 810 on timeline 806. In some examples, in response to determining, with a second process, that the audio input includes a spoken trigger, one or more times associated with a first advertising session 812 are determined. For example, a time range, or “window,” is set for the first advertising session 812.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the audio input includes a spoken trigger, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session 812, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input 804. In some examples, the determination of whether to respond to the audio input 804 occurs in accordance with both a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold and a determination that the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger. For example, the electronic device may be capable of assembling necessary information for determining, prior to the fixed time deadline, whether the audio input 804 includes a spoken trigger, and may further determine that the audio input 804 does include a spoken trigger.
In some examples, determining whether to respond to the audio input 804 further includes determining, during the first advertising session 812, whether a second advertising session is to be initiated. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that no delay values are received during the first advertising session 812, the electronic device determines that a second advertising session is not to be initiated. For example, as discussed further herein, when the electronic device is capable of assembling necessary information for determining whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger, and the electronic device receives no delay values from other electronic devices during the first advertising session 812, the electronic device determines that a second advertising session is not to be initiated.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is to respond to the audio input, the electronic device determines whether one or more broadcast values are received from a second electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that one or more broadcast values are received from a second electronic device, the electronic device transmits, to the second electronic device, an indication that the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. For example, once a determination is made that the electronic device will respond to audio input 804, any other electronic device that attempts to respond to the audio input will be informed that such response, by that device, is not needed. The determination of whether to respond to the audio input 804 is described in more detail with reference to
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session 908, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input 904 or wait for a second advertising session 910. For example, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session 908, whether a second advertising session 910 is to be initiated. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that no delay values are received during the first advertising session 908, the electronic devices determines a second advertising session is not to be initiated, as discussed with respect to
In some examples, determining that a second advertising session 910 is to be initiated further includes determining a maximum delay value from one or more delay values received during the first advertising session 908, and further determining the time associated with the second advertising session 910 based on the maximum delay value. The electronic device may receive a plurality of delay values from other devices, including one millisecond, ten milliseconds, and twenty milliseconds. The electronic device may determine that the maximum delay value associated with the plurality of received delay values is twenty milliseconds. Based on the determined maximum delay value, for example, the electronic device may determine a time associated with the second advertising session 910 based on the delay value of twenty milliseconds. For example, a time range, or “window,” is set for the second advertising session 910 based on the delay of twenty milliseconds.
In some examples, in response to determining that a second advertising session 910 is to be initiated, the electronic device determines, during the second advertising session 910, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. For example, due to the delay associated with the one or more additional devices, the electronic device delays a determination of whether to respond to the audio input 904 until the second advertising session 910, in order to accommodate devices that are unable to assemble necessary information for meeting a fixed-time deadline of the first advertising session 908. The determination of whether to respond to the audio input 904 is described in more detail with reference to
In some examples, determining, with a second process, that the audio input includes a spoken trigger includes generating data 1012 indicating that the audio input 1004 includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the data 1012 indicating that the audio input 1004 includes a spoken trigger may be referred to as a second pass trigger, and may be generated at a time corresponding to data 1012 on timeline 1008. In some examples, the time corresponding to data 1012 on timeline 1008 may be within the first advertising session 1010. For example, the time corresponding to data 1012 occurring within the first advertising session 1010 may indicate that the electronic device was unable to assemble the necessary information fast enough to meet the fixed-time deadline 1016 of the first advertising session 1010.
In some examples, the electronic device determines whether the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. For example, the electronic device may determine, at a time associated with a delay determination 1006 on timeline 1008, that the delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a second electronic device is connected to the electronic device using a wireless connection. For example, when a device such as a Bluetooth headset is connected to the electronic device, the electronic device may determine that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. Such determination may be automatic, for example, given known communication speeds and/or processing capabilities of wireless communication channels and/or secondary devices. For example, when determining whether the audio input 1004 includes a spoken trigger, such secondary devices may inherently be unable to assemble necessary information, for making the determination, in time to meet the fixed-time deadline of a first advertising session 1010.
In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a device processing capability satisfies a predetermined threshold. For example, an older device model may be associated with a low device processing capability, in contrast to an advanced device model that may be associated with a high device processing capability. In some examples, the first delay value may be determined to exceed the predetermined threshold when the device is associated with a low device processing capability. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a wireless connection satisfies a predetermined threshold. For example, when one or more wireless connections associated with the electronic device are associated with a slow speed or low quality (e.g., a slow WiFi and/or Bluetooth connection), the first delay value may be determined to exceed the predetermined threshold. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining both whether a device processing capability satisfies a predetermined processing threshold and whether a wireless connection satisfies a predetermined connection threshold.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device broadcasts the first delay value during a first advertising session 1010. For example, the first delay value may be broadcast repeatedly during the first advertising session in order to ensure that additional electronic devices receive the first delay value. In some examples, the first delay value is broadcast using Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) advertising mode. Other communication methods can be used, including but not limited to WiFi (e.g., any 802.11 compliant communication), NFC, infrared, sound wave, etc., or any combination thereof. In some examples, a device having low processing capabilities may transmit, to a device having high processing capabilities, the first delay value, where the device having high processing capabilities may then broadcast, during the first advertising session 1010, the first delay value received from the device having low processing capabilities. In some examples, a device having high processing capabilities may broadcast, during the first advertising session 1010, the first delay value determined from data received from a device having low processing capabilities. In some examples, the device having low processing capabilities may broadcast, during the first advertising session 1010, the first delay value without transmitting, to a device having high processing capabilities, the first delay value or data for determining the first delay value. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds both a predetermined threshold and a response threshold, the electronic device may forgo broadcasting the first delay value. For example, when the first delay value further exceeds a response threshold, broadcasting the delay value may be unnecessary. A response threshold may correspond, for example, to an unacceptably long time period for a response to a user request. For example, an unacceptably long time period may correspond to two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, or longer.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with the second advertising session 1014. In some examples, in response to determining, with a second process, that the audio input includes a spoken trigger, the electronic device determines, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with the second advertising session 1014. In some examples, in response to both a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold and that the audio input includes a spoken trigger with the first pass, a time associated with the second advertising session 1014 is determined. In some examples, one or more times associated with a second advertising session 1014 are determined. For example, a time range, or “window,” is set for the second advertising session 1014. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds both the predetermined threshold and the response threshold, the electronic device may forgo determining a time for a second advertising session. For example, when the first delay value exceeds the response threshold, determining a time for a second advertising session may be unnecessary, and the electronic device may forgo further device coordination.
In some examples, determining, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with the second advertising session 1014 includes receiving at least one additional delay value during the first advertising session 1010 and determining a maximum delay value from the first delay value and the at least one additional delay value, and determining the time associated with the second advertising session 1014 based on the maximum delay value. For example, the first delay value may be equal to ten milliseconds. The electronic device may receive, for example, a plurality of delay values from other devices, including one millisecond, two milliseconds, and twenty milliseconds. The electronic device may determine that the maximum delay value associated with the plurality of received delay values and the first delay value is twenty milliseconds. Based on the determined maximum delay value, for example, the electronic device may determine a time associated with the second advertising session 1014 based on the delay of twenty milliseconds. For example, a time range, or “window,” is set for the second advertising session 1014 based on the delay of twenty milliseconds, with an added delay for a new deadline corresponding to time point 1018 on timeline 1008.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during the second advertising session 1014, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input 1004. The determination of whether to respond to the audio input 904 is described in more detail with reference to
In some examples, the electronic device determines whether the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. For example, the electronic device may determine that the delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold at a time associated with a delay determination 1106 on timeline 1108. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device broadcasts the first delay value during a first advertising session 1110.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with a second advertising session 1112. In some examples, the electronic devices determines whether a time associated with the second advertising session 1112 satisfies a predetermined criteria. For example, the predetermined criteria may include a condition that the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 occurs within the first advertising session 1110. As an example, the determined delay may be a small delay, such that the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 results in the first advertising session 1110 and second advertising session 1112 “overlapping” each other. In this case, the time range, or “window,” for the second advertising session 1112 must be adjusted to guarantee reliable communication periods for devices to properly send and receive information, for example.
In some examples, the predetermined criteria may include a condition that the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 occurs within a threshold time of an end of the first advertising session 1110. For example, the determined delay may be a small delay, such that the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 results in a period of time between the first advertising session 1110 and second advertising session 1112 that is insufficient to guarantee reliable communication periods for devices to properly send and receive information. In this case, the time range, or “window,” for the second advertising session 1112 must be adjusted to guarantee reliable communication periods for devices to properly send and receive information, for example, by increasing a period of time between the first advertising session 1110 and second advertising session 1112.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 satisfies the predetermined criteria, the electronic device may adjust the time associated with the second advertising session 1112. In some examples, adjusting the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 includes setting the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 to be equal to a time associated with an end of the first advertising session 1110. For example, a time equal to the end of the first advertising session 1110 and the start of the second advertising session 1112 may be represented by a time 1114 associated with timeline 1108. In some examples, adjusting the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 includes setting the time associated with the second advertising session 1112 to be within a threshold time of an end of the first advertising session 1110. For example, the time is adjusted in order to maximize an amount of time that information can be properly transferred between devices.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination, with a second process, that the audio input 1104 includes a spoken trigger, the electronic device determines, during the adjusted second advertising session 1112, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. The determination of whether to respond to the audio input 904 is described in more detail with reference to
In some examples, the electronic device determines whether the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. For example, the electronic device may determine that the delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold at a time associated with a delay determination 1206 on timeline 1208. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device broadcasts the first delay value during a first advertising session 1210.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device broadcasts the first delay value during a first advertising session 1210. In some examples, in response to determining that the delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, with the second process, whether the audio input 1204 includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the electronic device may determine, with the second process, that that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger. For example, determining, with a second process, that the audio input does not include a spoken trigger may include generating data 1212 indicating that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger. In some examples, the data 1212 indicating that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger may be referred to as a second pass trigger, and may be generated at a time corresponding to data 1212 on timeline 1208. For example, the first process may indicate the possibility that the audio input 1204 includes a spoken trigger, but upon a more thorough processing of the audio input 1204 by the second process, the electronic device determines that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger. As an example, the electronic device may be within close range of the user such that a confident determination of whether the audio input includes the spoken trigger may be made, although upon processing the audio input 1204 with the second process, the electronic device may confidently determine that the audio input 1204 in fact does not include the spoken trigger.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination, with the second process, that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger, the electronic device may take no further action with respect to the variable device coordination process. For example, in accordance with a determination that the audio input 1204 does not include a spoken trigger, the electronic device may forgo determining, during the first advertising session, whether a second advertising session is to be initiated, and may forgo further determining whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input.
In some examples, a set of one or more values broadcast by an electronic device includes any number of values. One exemplary value indicates an energy level of the audio input as sampled on the electronic device. The energy level of the sampled audio input may, for instance, be indicative of the proximity of the electronic device to the user. In some examples, the energy level is measured using known metrics for audio quality, such as signal-to-noise ratio, sound pressure, or a combination thereof.
Another exemplary value indicates an acoustic fingerprint of the audio input, that is, whether the audio input is likely provided by a particular user. In some examples, the electronic device analyzes the audio input and calculates a confidence value that expresses the likelihood that the audio input originates from the particular user (e.g., a user that has enrolled in the virtual assistant service on the electronic device). In some examples, the electronic device determines whether the audio input is from an authorized user by comparing the confidence value with a predetermined threshold value, and broadcasts a value based on the comparison. In some examples, the set of one or more values may include a value corresponding to the confidence value as well.
Another exemplary value indicates a type of the electronic device. For example, as illustrated in
Another exemplary value indicates a state of the electronic device. In some examples, the value can, for instance, be indicative of whether the electronic device has been in an active state (e.g., having received a user input) within a predetermined amount of time before receiving the audio input. In some examples, the value can indicate whether the electronic device is in a locked state. In some examples, the value can also indicate whether the user has recently activated the device or the virtual assistant service on the device. In some examples, the value can convey details regarding the recent user input, such as a time stamp, a type of input (e.g., a physical touch, a raising gesture), etc.
Another exemplary value indicates location information of an electronic device. In some examples, the value indicates a geographic location of the electronic device, for example, using GPS coordinates of the electronic device, or indicates a named location of the electronic device (e.g., the user's living room).
The above-discussed exemplary values correspond to various metrics relevant to implementing intelligent device arbitration as described herein. It will be appreciated that any number of values corresponding to these metrics can be broadcast and/or that some or all of the values can be used to provide a single value using one or more functions. The single value may thereafter be broadcast during device arbitration as described herein. It will be further appreciated that the one or more functions can assign different weights to different values, respectively.
In some examples, the electronic device determines respective values and/or broadcasts the values in response determining, with the second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger, as discussed with respect to
Each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 may receive sets of values from other devices. By way of example, the electronic device 1302 may receive sets of values from electronic devices 1304-1308, the electronic device 1304 may receive sets of values from electronic devices 1302, 1306, 1308, and so on. After sets of values have been exchanged among electronic devices 1302-1310, each device determines whether it is to respond to the audio input by analyzing the sets of values.
In some examples, each device determines whether to respond to the spoken instruction 1334 based on the energy level values broadcast by electronic devices 1302-1310. Each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 compares a respective “energy level” value with the “energy level” values broadcast by other electronic devices. In some examples, an electronic device responds to the audio input if the electronic device has broadcast the highest “energy level” value. As discussed above, a higher “energy level” value can be indicative of greater proximity to the user. Because a device closest to a user may be associated with a highest energy level value, it is beneficial to have an electronic device that has broadcast the highest “energy level” value respond to the spoken instruction 1334.
In some examples, each device determines whether to respond to the spoken instruction 1334 based on the state values broadcast by electronic devices 1302-1310. Each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 compares a respective “state” value with the “state” values broadcast by other electronic devices. As discussed above, the “state” value(s) of an electronic device can encompass information regarding the operation of the electronic device, such as whether it is locked, whether it has been recently activated, whether it has recently received particular user inputs. In some examples, an electronic device responds to the audio input if the user has recently provided an input indicative of an intent to interact with the particular electronic device. Exemplary inputs include an active gesture (e.g., on a wearable electronic device), a physical touch (e.g., on a touch-sensitive screen of a device), etc. In some examples, an electronic device responds to the audio input if, based on the broadcast “state” values, the electronic device is the only device that is in an unlocked state.
In some examples, each device determines whether to respond to the spoken instruction 1334 based on the acoustic fingerprint values broadcast by electronic devices 1302-1310. Each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 compares a respective “acoustic fingerprint” value with the values broadcast by other electronic devices. In some examples, an electronic device responds to the audio input if, based on the broadcast values, it is the only electronic device that has recognized the user who provided the audio input as an authorized user. For example, if user 1300 has enrolled in the virtual assistant service only on electronic device 1302 (implemented as a smart watch), electronic device 1302 responds to the audio inputs from user 1300.
In some examples, each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 determines whether to respond to the spoken instruction based on the device type values broadcast by electronic devices 1302-1310. Each of the electronic devices 1302-1310 compares a respective “device type” value(s) with the values broadcast by other electronic devices. Device type is particularly relevant to intelligent device arbitration when the user's input specifies a task to be performed, such as “Hey Siri, find me a TV episode” or “Hey Siri, drive me there.” In some examples, the electronic device is to respond to the audio input if, based on the broadcast values, the electronic device is the only device of a type that can handle the task specified in the audio input.
In some examples, the electronic device obtains a list of acceptable device types that can handle the specified task (e.g., by locally analyzing the audio input and/or by receiving the list from one or more servers), and determines whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input based on the broadcast “device type” values and the list of acceptable device types. In some examples, one or more servers receive data representing the sampled audio input from one or more of electronic devices 1302-1310, derive a user intent based on the data, and identify a task having one or more parameters based on the user intent. In some examples, once the one or more servers determine the task based on the audio input, the one or more servers transmit the task, parameters (if any), and a list of acceptable device types for handling the task to the electronic devices that have sampled the audio input (e.g., electronic devices 1302-1310). Additional details regarding the identification of a task from a natural language input can be found, for example, in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 15/144,618, entitled “Intelligent Device Identification,” filed May 2, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
It will be appreciated that the arbitration processes described herein are exemplary, and that, using one or more numerical and/or logical functions and algorithms, some or all of the values above can be factored, alone or in combination, into the determination of whether an electronic device is to respond to an audio input. In some examples, each of electronic devices 1302-1310 broadcasts multiple values (e.g., an aggregated score and a “device type” value). Accordingly, electronic devices 1302-1310 may arbitrate in accordance with one or more predetermined algorithms. In some examples, each of electronic devices 1302-1310 broadcasts a single score, which is calculated according to one or more functions using some or all of the above-discussed values. For example, a single score for broadcasting can be calculated based on a predetermined weighting of received audio quality (e.g., signal-to-noise ratio), type of device, ability to perform task, and device state. Further, it will be appreciated that a variety of logical and/or numerical functions and algorithms can be used by each of electronic devices 1302-1310. It should be further appreciated that adjustments to the functions and algorithms can be implemented to adjust the prioritization of the above-described factors.
The electronic device can respond to an audio input by providing a visual output (e.g., a display notification or LED toggle), an auditory output, a haptic output, or a combination thereof, in some examples. For example, electronic device 1304 can respond to the audio input with a visual output (e.g. displaying a transcript of the audio input) and an audio output (e.g., “Looking for episodes . . . ”). If the electronic device determines not to respond to the audio input, the electronic device can forego responding to the audio input by entering an inactive mode (e.g. sleep mode).
With reference to
However, electronic device 1304 further analyzes the broadcast “device type” values in light of the task specified in the spoken instruction 1334. As discussed above, spoken instruction 1334 can be processed and resolved into one or more tasks locally or remotely. For example, electronic device 1304 can resolve the spoken instruction 1334 into a task locally, or receive the task along with a list of acceptable device types for handling the task from one or more servers. In this example, electronic device 1304 determines that it is not of an acceptable (or preferred) device type for handling the task specified in the audio input (i.e., playback of a video). As such, electronic device 1304 foregoes responding to the audio input.
In some examples, electronic device 1304 further determines whether any of the rest of the electronic devices can handle the specified task. Electronic device 1304 makes the determination based on the device types broadcast by the other electronic devices and the list of acceptable device types. In some examples, if electronic device 1304 determines that none of the other electronic devices are of an acceptable device type for handling the task, electronic device 1304 outputs an error message to the user or prompts the user for additional input (e.g., “would you like the video playback on your iPhone?).
Similarly, electronic device 1306 (implemented as a television) receives respective sets of one or more values from electronic devices 1302 (implemented as a smart watch), 1308 (implemented as a speaker dock), and 1304 (implemented as a mobile phone). By analyzing the broadcast sets of values, electronic device 1306 determines that it has not broadcast the highest “energy level” value. But, electronic device 1306 further determines that it is of a device type that can handle the task of video playback. In accordance with the determination, electronic device 1306 makes an additional determination of whether it is to respond to the audio input despite not having broadcast the highest “energy level” value. For example, if electronic device 1306 determines that none of the electronic devices that have broadcast higher “energy level” values (e.g., electronic device 1304) are of acceptable device types for handling the task, electronic device 1306 responds to the audio input. On the other hand, if electronic device 1306 determines that there is at least one electronic device that has broadcast a higher “energy level” value and is of an acceptable device type for handling the task, electronic device 1306 foregoes responding to the audio input. Forgoing responding to the audio input may include entering an inactive mode in some examples.
Turning to
In some examples, because audio input 1312 (“Hey Siri”) does not specify a task, electronic devices 1302-1310 may forego broadcasting “device type” values and rely on “energy level” values solely in the arbitration process. In some examples, electronic devices 1302-1310 forego broadcasting the “device type” values upon determining that the user has not provided another utterance after the spoken trigger (e.g., “Hey Siri”) for a predetermined period of time. It will be appreciated that, after an electronic device determines to respond to audio input 1312 (“Hey Siri”), the electronic device can receive an utterance specifying a task and can cause the task to be performed at a second electronic device if the electronic device is not of a type for performing the specified task or is otherwise better suited for performing the specified task.
Turning to
In some examples, if an electronic device broadcasts a set of one or more values and does not receive any set of one or more values from another electronic device, the electronic device responds to the audio input regardless of the values broadcast. Additional details regarding whether an electronic device is to respond to audio input can be found, for example, in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 15/268,338, entitled “Intelligent Device Arbitration and Control,” filed Sep. 16, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
At block 1402, the electronic device detects, with a first process, an event associated with an audio input. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is powered on and is not in a standby mode, the electronic device continuously determines, with the first process, whether an event associated with an audio input is detected.
At block 1404, in accordance with a detection of the event, the electronic device determines a first delay value associated with the electronic device, wherein the first delay value corresponds to a time required to determine, with a second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger. In some examples, the first process requires less power consumption than the second process. In some examples, determining a first delay value associated with the electronic device includes determining a delay value corresponding to a predetermined maximum delay. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic devices determines, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with the second advertising session. In some examples, determining, based on at least the first delay value, a time associated with the second advertising session includes receiving at least one additional delay value during the first advertising session, determining a maximum delay value from the first delay value and the at least one additional delay value, and determining the time associated with the second advertising session based on the maximum delay value. By determining a maximum delay value from all broadcast delay values, the coordination system accommodates a “slowest” device among a plurality of devices by calculating the maximum delay of all broadcast delays. Thus, the system dynamically manages variable delays associated with slower devices and slower communication channels, and considers a slowest possible scenario of which to base the timing of the second advertising session. This process improves reliability by ensuring that all delay factors are accounted for when setting the second advertising session time. Furthermore, by considering a predetermined maximum delay when determining a delay associated with a slow device, the system improves reliability in responding to a spoken trigger. For example, a predetermined maximum delay may correspond to a “worst-case” delay value for a respective device and/or communication channel. By considering such “worst-case” delays, the system ensures that any factors which may further affect response time are accounted for, such as low probability events that are not reflected in typical device processing capabilities or communication channel speeds.
At block 1406, the electronic device may determine that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a second electronic device is connected to the electronic device using a wireless connection. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a wireless connection satisfies a predetermined threshold. In some examples, determining that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold includes determining whether a device processing capability satisfies a predetermined processing threshold and determining whether a wireless connection satisfies a predetermined connection threshold. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, with the second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger, wherein the determination of whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input occurs in accordance with a determination that the audio input includes the spoken trigger. By considering delay factors such as connected devices, communication channels, and device processing capabilities, the coordination system employs a multi-dimensional approach to delay determination. For example, where many devices have similar processing capabilities, although one or more devices are connected on a slower communication channel, considering communication channel speed will have a larger impact on delay determination. Likewise, where processing capabilities and communication channel speed are similar for all devices, but a device such as a Bluetooth headset is connected to one or more devices, communication with the Bluetooth headset may necessarily require a larger delay than all other devices participating in the advertising sessions. Thus, the system improves reliability of device coordination by considering all relevant factors that may affect device delay.
At block 1408, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device broadcasts the first delay value during a first advertising session. In some examples, the electronic device determines whether a time associated with the second advertising session satisfies a predetermined criteria, where in accordance with a determination that the time associated with the second advertising session satisfies the predetermined criteria, the electronic device adjusts the time associated with the second advertising session. In some examples, the predetermined criteria includes a condition that the time associated with the second advertising session occurs within the first advertising session. In some examples, the predetermined criteria includes a condition that the time associated with the second advertising session occurs within a threshold time of an end of the first advertising session. In some examples, adjusting the time associated with the second advertising session includes setting the time associated with the second advertising session to be equal to a time associated with an end of the first advertising session. In some examples, adjusting the time associated with the second advertising session includes setting the time associated with the second advertising session to be within a threshold time of an end of the first advertising session. By considering when a second advertising session is to begin with respect to the timing of a first advertising session, the system ensures that the timing for both the first and second advertising sessions are optimized. For example, when a delay time is so short such that there is no gap between the first advertising session and the second advertising session, the system adjusts the timing of the second advertising session in order to maximize the time that signals within the first advertising session and the second advertising session can be heard by all participating devices. As another example, adjusting the time associated with the second advertising session prevents the first and second advertising sessions from overlapping, which would result in interference between broadcasts within the first advertising session and broadcasts within the second advertising session. This optimization further improves reliability of the system by ensuring that all broadcast signals are effectively received by devices that require the broadcast information, and such broadcasts are sent and received within the proper windows.
At block 1410, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during a second advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is to respond to the audio input, the electronic device determines whether one or more broadcast values are received from a second electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that one or more broadcast values are received from at least one additional electronic device, the electronic device transmits, to the second electronic device, an indication that the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. By communicating that the electronic device is to respond to the audio input in this manner, the system handles “straggler” devices by informing such devices that the device coordination process has already taken place. That is, the system effectively handles devices that did not broadcast during the proper advertising sessions by listening for such devices even when the coordination process has finished, and communicates with such devices accordingly.
At block 1412, the electronic device may determine that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session, whether a second advertising session is to be initiated, and in accordance with a determination that a second advertising session is to be initiated, the electronic device determines, during the second advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that a second advertising session is not to be initiated, the electronic device determines, during the first advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input. In some examples, determining, during the first advertising session, whether a second advertising session is to be initiated includes, in accordance with a determination that no delay values are received during the first advertising session, determining that a second advertising session is not to be initiated, and in accordance with a determination that one or more delay values are received during the first advertising session, determining that a second advertising session is to be initiated. In some examples, determining that a second advertising session is to be initiated includes determining a maximum delay value from one or more received delay values, and determining the time associated with the second advertising session based on the maximum delay value. By selectively determining whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input within either a first advertising session or a second advertising session, the system only utilizes a second advertising session when necessary. That is, system efficiency and response time are improved by determining, during a first advertising session. whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input when no “slow” devices are detected. In turn, the system does not initiate a second advertising session, which results in a faster response to a spoken trigger.
At block 1414, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device may determine, during the first advertising session, whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input or wait for the second advertising session. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first delay value does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the electronic device determines, with the second process, whether the audio input includes a spoken trigger, wherein the determination of whether the electronic device is to respond to the audio input occurs in accordance with a determination that the audio input includes the spoken trigger. By determining whether to respond to the audio input on the basis of the spoken trigger, the coordination process limits the devices attempting to respond to audio input to only those devices that determine with confidence that the audio input includes a spoken trigger. Furthermore, in the case where no delay value is associated with the device, the system improves response time and efficiency by proceeding to determine whether to respond to the audio input, and only doing so in a second advertising session if necessary.

In accordance with some implementations, a computer-readable storage medium (e.g., a non-transitory computer readable storage medium) is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for performing any of the methods or processes described herein.
In accordance with some implementations, an electronic device (e.g., a portable electronic device) is provided that comprises means for performing any of the methods or processes described herein.
In accordance with some implementations, an electronic device (e.g., a portable electronic device) is provided that comprises a processing unit configured to perform any of the methods or processes described herein.
In accordance with some implementations, an electronic device (e.g., a portable electronic device) is provided that comprises one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for performing any of the methods or processes described herein.
The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.
As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve device coordination between a plurality of devices that each have the ability to initiate a digital assistant. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.
The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to determine whether audio input includes a spoken trigger. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables recognition of the spoken trigger in order to further facilitate determination of whether to respond to an audio input. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.
The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.
Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of enrolling a user in a spoken trigger recognition process, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select to “opt in” or “opt out” of a process that automatically listens for a spoken trigger. In yet another example, users can select to “opt in” or “opt out” of a process that automatically listens for a spoken trigger when the electronic device is in a locked state. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.
Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data at a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.
Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, variable latency device coordination and determination of whether to respond to an audio input can be performed based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the intelligent automated assistant, or publicly available information.
