Embodiment Construction

[0047] figure 1 is a block diagram of an operating environment 100 for a digital assistant in accordance with some embodiments. The terms "digital assistant," "virtual assistant," "intelligent automated assistant," or "automated digital assistant" mean interpreting spoken and / or textual natural language input to infer user intent and performing actions based on the inferred user intent action of any information processing system. For example, to act on the inferred user intent, the system may perform one or more of the following: identify a task flow with steps and parameters designed to implement the inferred user intent; Specific requirements from the inferred user intent are input into the task flow; the task flow is executed by invoking programs, methods, services, APIs, etc.; and output is generated to the user in audible form (e.g., speech) and / or visual form response.

[0048] Specifically, a digital assistant (DA) is capable of accepting user requests at least in pa...

Abstract

An electronic device with one or more processors and memory includes a procedure for enabling conversation persistence across two or more instances of a digital assistant. In some embodiments, the device displays a first dialogue in a first instance of a digital assistant user interface. In response to a request to display a user interface different from the digital assistant user interface, the device displays the user interface different from the digital assistant user interface. In response to a request to invoke the digital assistant, the device displays a second instance of the digital assistant user interface, including displaying a second dialogue in the second instance of the digital assistant user interface, where the first dialogue remains available for display in the second instance of the digital assistant user interface.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 832,898, filed June 9, 2013, and entitled "DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICALUSER INTERFACEFORENABLING CONVERSATIONPERSISTENCEACROSSTWOORMOREINSTANCESOFADIGITALASSISTANT," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes This article. technical field [0003] Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to digital assistant systems, and more particularly to context and / or session persistence. Background technique [0004] Just like a human personal assistant, a digital assistant system can perform requested tasks and provide requested advice, information or services. The ability of a digital assistant system to fulfill a user request depends on the correct understanding of the request or instruction by the digital assistant system. Recent developments in natural language processing have enabled users to interact wi...
