    Abstract: Systems and processes for generating a speaker profile for use in performing speaker identification for a virtual assistant are provided. One example process can include receiving an audio input including user speech and determining whether a speaker of the user speech is a predetermined user based on a speaker profile for the predetermined user. In response to determining that the speaker of the user speech is the predetermined user, the user speech can be added to the speaker profile and operation of the virtual assistant can be triggered. In response to determining that the speaker of the user speech is not the predetermined user, the user speech can be added to an alternate speaker profile and operation of the virtual assistant may not be triggered. In some examples, contextual information can be used to verify results produced by the speaker identification process.

    Abstract translation: 提供了用于生成用于为虚拟助理执行演讲者标识的演讲人简档的系统和过程。 一个示例过程可以包括接收包括用户语音的音频输入,并且基于用于预定用户的讲话者简档来确定用户语音的讲话者是否是预定用户。 响应于确定用户讲话的讲话者是预定用户,可以将用户讲话添加到讲话者档案并且可以触发虚拟助理的操作。 响应于确定用户讲话的讲话者不是预定用户,可以将用户讲话添加到替代讲话者简档并且可以不触发虚拟助理的操作。 在一些示例中,可以使用情境信息来验证由说话者识别过程产生的结果。

    Abstract: An electronic device like a smartphone can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input, i.e. voice input, from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a circular memory buffer. In response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. If the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer. Said user input might be pressing a button or a special trigger phrase like "Hey Siri".

    Abstract translation: 诸如智能手机的电子设备可以通过从麦克风捕获音频输入即语音输入来实现零延迟数字助理,并且使用第一处理器将表示所捕获的音频输入的音频数据写入循环存储器缓冲器。 响应于在捕获音频输入时检测用户输入,设备可以确定用户输入是否满足预定标准。 如果用户输入满足标准,则设备可以使用第二处理器来基于存储器缓冲器的内容的至少一部分来识别和执行任务。 所述用户输入可能是按下按钮或特殊的触发短语,如“嘿Siri”。

    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant to provide extension of digital assistant services are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors, receiving, from a first user, a first speech input representing a user request. The method further includes obtaining an identity of the first user; and in accordance with the user identity, providing a representation of the user request to at least one of a second electronic device or a third electronic device. The method further includes receiving, based on a determination of whether the second electronic device or the third electronic device, or both, is to provide the response to the first electronic device, the response to the user request from the second electronic device or the third electronic device. The method further includes providing a representation of the response to the first user.
