Abstract: 【課題】仮想アシスタントをトリガするのに使用することができる、発語トリガ閾値を動的に調整するためのシステム及びプロセスを提供する。【解決手段】プロセスにおいて、オーディオ入力を、マイクロフォンを介して受信する。受信したオーディオ入力は、サンプリングされ、サンプリングされたオーディオ入力が口頭トリガの一部分を含むかの信頼レベルを判定する。閾値を上回る信頼レベルに応じて、オーディオ入力からユーザコマンドを受信するように、仮想アシスタントをトリガする。閾値は、知覚されるイベント(例えば、ユーザがスピーチでの双方向作用を開始する可能性がより高い又はより低いことがあることを示すイベント、トリガを検出することが困難であることを示すイベント、トリガを逸したことを示すイベント)に応じて動的に調整することができ、逸したトリガ及び誤った肯定的トリガイベントの両方を最小化する。【選択図】図3

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a plurality of microphones, sampling, at each of the plurality of microphones of the electronic device, an audio signal to obtain a plurality of audio signals; processing the plurality of audio signals to obtain a plurality of audio streams; and determining, based on the plurality of audio streams, whether any of the plurality of audio signals corresponds to a spoken trigger. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals corresponds to the spoken trigger, initiating a session of the digital assistant; and in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals does not correspond to the spoken trigger, foregoing initiating a session of the digital assistant.

Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for dynamically adjusting a speech trigger threshold, which can be used in triggering a virtual assistant. Audio input can be received via a microphone. The received audio input can be sampled, and a confidence level can be determined of whether the sampled audio input includes a portion of a spoken trigger. In response to the confidence level exceeding a threshold, a virtual assistant can be triggered to receive a user command from the audio input. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted in response to perceived events (e.g., events indicating a user may be more or less likely to initiate speech interactions, events indicating a trigger may be difficult to detect, events indicating a trigger was missed, etc.), thereby minimizing both missed triggers and false positive triggering events.

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.
