Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “Automated assistants (also known as “personal a ssistant modules”, “mobile assistants”, or“chat bots”) may be interacted with b y a user via a variety of client devices, such as smart phones, tabletcomputers , wearable devices, automobile systems, standalone personal assistant devices, a nd so forth.The automated assistants receive input from the user (e.g., typed a nd/or spoken natural language input)and respond with responsive content (e.g., visual and/or audible natural language output). An automatedassistant interacte d with via a client device may be implemented via the client device itself and/o r viaone or more remote computing devices that are in network communication wit h the client device (e.g.,computing device(s) in “the cloud”). Regardless of th e implementation, interactions with the automatedassistant can occur via an aut omated assistant interface, which can be a graphical and/or voice-basedinterfac e.”
