Multi-Assistant Session Interaction Beyond Fixed Chat Membership
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital assistant systems limit interaction flexibility by requiring the user to interact only with digital assistants that are members of a specific session, restricting the ability to engage with multiple assistants simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
Allow users to select one or more target digital assistants that are not members of the session, enabling them to send messages to and receive replies from these selected assistants, thereby enhancing interaction flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are restricted to interact only with digital assistants that are members of a specific session, then session management is simplified and system reliability is maintained, but interaction flexibility and user convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a session management system that acts as an intermediary between users and digital assistants. This mediator handles the complexity of managing multiple assistant interactions while maintaining clear session boundaries, allowing users to flexibly select assistants without directly managing the underlying session complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The session management system is designed to handle multiple types of interactions universally - it can manage conversations with single assistants, multiple assistants simultaneously, and transitions between different assistant selections, all through a unified interface that abstracts away the underlying complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can select multiple digital assistants outside the session, then interaction capabilities are expanded and user convenience is improved, but system complexity and difficulty of managing interactions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interaction management by allowing users to select specific digital assistants from a available set. This segmentation enables independent control over which assistants participate in the session, breaking down the complex task of managing all possible assistants into manageable individual selections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts session composition based on user selections. Users can add or remove digital assistants from the session at any time, and the system adapts by reconfiguring the active session members, enabling flexible interaction capabilities while managing complexity through dynamic rather than static session management.

AI summary
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for session interaction is provided. The method includes receiving a selection of one or more target digital assistants in a target session by a user, the one or more target digital assistants being not members of the target session, and members of the target session comprising a plurality of digital assistants; presenting a first message sent by the user in the target session; and presenting one or more reply messages for the first message sent by the one or more target digital assistants, respectively. Therefore, the user can select a digital assistant that does not belong to the session to reply to the message sent by the user, thereby improving convenience of interaction between the user and the digital assistant.
