Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 is a block diagram of an operating environment 100 for a digital assistant according to some implementations. The terms "digital assistant," "virtual assistant," "intelligent automated assistant," or "automated digital assistant" mean interpreting natural language input, spoken and / or textual, to infer user intent (e.g., to identify tasks that correspond to natural language input type) and performs an action (eg, performs a task corresponding to the identified task type) based on an inferred user intent. For example, to perform an action in compliance with an inferred user intent, the system may perform one or more of the following operations: identify a task flow with steps and parameters designed to implement the inferred user intent (e.g., identify task type), input specific requirements from the inferred user intent into the task flow, execute the task flow by invoking programs, methods, services, APIs, etc. (e.g., send requests to service providers); and ...

Abstract

Methods and systems for searching for media items using a voice-based digital assistant are described. Natural language text strings corresponding to search queries are provided. The search queries include query terms. The text strings may correspond to speech inputs input by a user into an electronic device. At least one information source is searched to identify at least one parameter associated with at least one of the query terms. The parameters include at least one of a time parameter, a date parameter, or a geo-code parameter. The parameters are compared to tags of media items to identify matches. In some implementations, media items whose tags match the parameter are presented to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed implementations relate generally to digital assistant systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for voice-based media search. Background technique [0002] Advances in camera technology, image processing, and image storage technology have enabled humans to seamlessly interact with and "capture" their surroundings through digital photographs. Furthermore, recent advances in the technology surrounding handheld devices (eg, mobile phones and digital assistant systems) have increased the image capture and image storage capabilities of handheld devices. This has led to a significant increase in the use of handheld devices for photo capture and digital photo storage. [0003] The increasing number of digital photos being captured and stored on electronic devices creates a need for systematic classification and efficient organization of photos so that they can be easily viewed and searched. Tagging of photos facilitates easy organi...
