Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for controlling television user interactions using a virtual assistant. In an example process, a virtual assistant can interact with a television set-top box to control content shown on a television display. Speech input for the virtual assistant can be received from a device with a microphone. The speech input can comprise a query associated with content shown on the television display. A user intent of the query can be determined based on one or more of the content shown on the television display and a viewing history of media content. A result of the query can be caused to be displayed based on the determined user intent.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于使用虚拟助理控制电视用户交互的系统和过程。 虚拟助手可以与电视机顶盒进行交互，以控制电视上显示的内容。 可以从具有麦克风的设备接收虚拟助手的语音输入。 可以从语音输入确定用户意图，并且虚拟助理可以根据用户的意图执行任务，包括在电视上播放媒体。 虚拟助手互动可以在电视上显示在扩展或收缩的界面中，以占用最少的空间，同时传达所需的信息。 可以使用与多个显示器相关联的多个设备来确定来自语音输入的用户意图以及向用户传达信息。 在一些示例中，可以基于显示器上显示的媒体内容向用户提供虚拟助理查询建议。

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process includes initiating a virtual assistant session responsive to receiving user input. In accordance with initiating the virtual assistant session, the process includes determining, based on data obtained using one or more sensors of the electronic device, whether one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are satisfied prior to a first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session prior to the first time. The first time is defined by a setting of the electronic device. In accordance with determining that the one or more criteria representing expressed user disinterest are not satisfied prior to the first time, the process includes automatically deactivating the virtual assistant session at the first time.

Abstract: Systems and processes for application integration with a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, receiving a natural-language user input; identifying, with the one or more processors, an intent object of a set of intent objects and a parameter associated with the intent, where the intent object and the parameter are derived from the natural-language user input. The method further includes identifying a software application associated with the intent object of the set of intent objects; and providing the intent object and the parameter to the software application.

Abstract: Systems and processes for application integration with a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes receiving an audio input including a natural- language user input and identifying an intent object of a set of intent objects. The intent object may be derived from the natural-language user input. The method further includes identifying a software application associated with the intent object of the set of intent objects, providing the intent object to the software application to cause the software application to perform a task
associated with the intent object, receiving a result response indicating whether the task was successfully performed, and providing an output indicating whether the task was performed.
