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: 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.

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理的语音输入。 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，包括在电视机上播放媒体。 虚拟助手的互动可以在电视上显示在扩展或收缩的界面中，以占用最小的空间，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。
