    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: 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 are disclosed for controlling television user interactions using a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant can interact with a television set-top box to control content shown on a television. Speech input for the virtual assistant can be received from a device with a microphone. User intent can be determined from the speech input, and the virtual assistant can execute tasks according to the user's intent, including causing playback of media on the television. Virtual assistant interactions can be shown on the television in interfaces that expand or contract to occupy a minimal amount of space while conveying desired information. Multiple devices associated with multiple displays can be used to determine user intent from speech input as well as to convey information to users. In some examples, virtual assistant query suggestions can be provided to the user based on media content shown on a display.
