Embodiment Construction

[0017] For purposes of clarity and definition, the term "exemplary" used in this document should be construed as being used as an illustration or example of something, and should not be construed as an ideal or primary example of that thing.

For example, the term "user(s)" should be construed as meaning one or more users.

[0018] In contrast to digital assistants being constrained to functionality disposed / available on a computing device, and in accordance with aspects of the disclosed subject matter, a user agent is provided with a set of domain proxies. Each domain proxy is implemented as an online service that can receive user instructions related to the particular domain with which the domain proxy is associated. Acc...

Abstract

In order to complete user instructions beyond the scope of services that are provided on the user's own computing device, a framework an interaction framework for executing user instructions with online services is provided. The framework includes an instruction processing agent that interacts with a user agent on a computer user's computing device to execute instructions provided to the user agent. The instruction processing agent maintains a list of domain agents, each domain agent corresponding to a domain. Upon receiving a user instruction (from a user agent), the instruction processing agent identifies a suitable domain and corresponding domain agent for completing the user instruction and provides the instruction to the domain agent. The domain agent identifies an online service suitable for completing the user instruction and interfaces with the online service via a proxy for the online service to carry out the user instruction.

Description

Background technique [0001] More and more people use their mobile devices to perform tasks. Many times, though not exclusively, instructions from the device user to the digital assistant operating on the device are delivered via voice / audio instructions. For example, a person might ask (via voice) a digital assistant operating on a mobile device to set an alarm for the next morning, or place a phone call to a specific person. Unfortunately, the range of actions that a digital assistant can take on behalf of a device user is limited by the functionality available to digital assistants on mobile devices. In the example of setting an alarm, typically the digital assistant has access to alarm functionality on the mobile device and can communicate with that functionality to set the alarm. Similarly, in the example of making a call, the digital assistant knows and has access to the calling functionality (and may even have access to the address book functionality) on the mobile dev...
