Abstract:
Systems and processes for providing multi-turn canned dialog are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device, receiving a natural-language input; determining whether the natural-language input satisfies dialog criteria for multi-turn canned dialog; in accordance with a determination that the natural-language input satisfies the dialog criteria for multi-turn canned dialog: identifying a natural-language output of the multi-turn canned dialog corresponding to the natural-language input; and outputting the natural-language output; and in accordance with a determination that the natural-language input does not satisfy the dialog criteria for multi-turn canned dialog: identifying a task associated with the natural-language input; and performing the task associated with the natural-language input.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, a first input including activation of an affordance is received. A domain associated with the affordance is determined. A second input including user speech is received, where a user intent is determined based on the domain and the user speech. A determination is made whether the user intent includes a command associated with the affordance. In accordance with a determination that the user intent includes a command associated with the affordance, a task in furtherance of the command is performed.
Abstract:
Systems and processes for selectively processing and responding to a spoken user input are provided. In one example, audio input containing a spoken user input can be received at a user device. The spoken user input can be identified from the audio input by identifying start and end-points of the spoken user input. It can be determined whether or not the spoken user input was intended for a virtual assistant based on contextual information. The determination can be made using a rule-based system or a probabilistic system. If it is determined that the spoken user input was intended for the virtual assistant, the spoken user input can be processed and an appropriate response can be generated. If it is instead determined that the spoken user input was not intended for the virtual assistant, the spoken user input can be ignored and/or no response can be generated.
