Abstract:
A method of processing a user input, the method performed at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, the method comprising: at the electronic device: receiving a first set of one or more predefined task types from a service provider; integrating the first set of one or more predefined task types with a second set of predefined task types not associated with the service provider to generate a plurality of predefined task types; receiving an input of a user specifying a task; selecting, based on the user input, a task type from the plurality of predefined task types, the task type corresponding to one of the first set of the one or more predefined task types and to the task; and in response to selecting the task type, sending to the service provider a request to perform at least a portion of the task.
Abstract:
The intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions. The system can be implemented using any of a number of different platforms, such as the web, email, smartphone, and the like, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the system is based on sets of interrelated domains and tasks, and employs additional functionally powered by external services with which the system can interact.
Abstract:
The electronic device with one or more processors and memory receives an input of a user. The electronic device, in accordance with the input, identifies a respective task type from a plurality of predefined task types associated with a plurality of third party service providers. The respective task type is associated with at least one third party service provider for which the user is authorized and at least one third party service provider for which the user is not authorized. In response to identifying the respective task type, the electronic device sends a request to perform at least a portion of a task to a third party service provider of the plurality of third party service providers that is associated with the respective task type.

Abstract:
A device can be configured to receive speech input from a user. The speech input can include a command for accessing a restricted feature of the device. The speech input can be compared to a voiceprint (e.g., text-independent voiceprint) of the user's voice to authenticate the user to the device. Responsive to successful authentication of the user to the device, the user is allowed access to the restricted feature without the user having to perform additional authentication steps or speaking the command again. If the user is not successfully authenticated to the device, additional authentication steps can be request by the device (e.g., request a password).
