技术领域
本公开整体涉及虚拟助理,并且更具体地讲涉及执行与虚拟助理的任务。
背景技术
智能自动化助理(或数字助理)在人类用户与电子设备之间提供有利界面。此类助理允许用户使用自然语言以语音形式和/或文本形式与设备或系统进行交互。例如,用户可通过向与电子设备相关联的数字助理提供语音用户请求来访问电子设备的服务。数字助理可根据该语音用户请求解译用户的意图并且将用户意图操作化成任务。随后可通过执行电子设备的一项或多项服务来执行这些任务,并且可将相关输出以自然语言形式返回给用户。
发明内容
在虚拟助理处理的任务在远离电子设备的服务器处执行的限度内,任务执行的速度可能由于多种原因而变得不期望地缓慢。在虚拟助理处理的任务在电子设备自身处执行的限度内,执行任务的速度也可能变得不期望地缓慢。
因此,本技术为电子设备提供更快、更有效的方法用于执行与数字助理的任务。此类方法和界面任选地补充或替换用于执行与数字助理的任务的其他方法。此类方法和界面减少对用户所造成的认知负担,并且产生更有效的人机界面。对于电池驱动的计算设备,此类方法和界面可节省功率,增长电池两次充电之间的时间间隔,以及减少执行任务所需要的时间。

具体实施方式
以下描述阐述了示例性方法、参数等。然而,应当认识到,此类描述并非意在限制本公开的范围,而是作为对示例性实施方案的描述来提供。
电子设备需要提供有效的方法和界面以用于执行与虚拟助理的任务。如上所述,由于与客户端、服务器、和/或它们之间的连接相关联的长期或间歇限制,使用已知方法来执行与包括客户端侧部件和服务器侧部件的虚拟助理的任务并不如可能的那样有效。经改进的与虚拟助理的任务执行可减少用户的认知负担,由此提高生产率。此外,此类技术可减少本来浪费在冗余用户输入上的处理器功率和电池功率。

设备。任选地使用其他便携式电子设备,诸如具有触敏表面(例如,触摸屏显示器和/或触摸板)的膝上型电脑或平板电脑。还应当理解的是,在一些实施方案中,该设备并非便携式通信设备,而是具有触敏表面(例如,触摸屏显示器和/或触摸板)的台式计算机。
在下面的讨论中,描述了一种包括显示器和触敏表面的电子设备。然而,应当理解,该电子设备任选地包括一个或多个其他物理用户界面设备,诸如物理键盘、鼠标和/或操纵杆。
设备可支持多种应用程序,诸如以下应用程序中的一个或多个应用程序:绘图应用程序、呈现应用程序、文字处理应用程序、网站创建应用程序、盘编辑应用程序、电子表格应用程序、游戏应用程序、电话应用程序、视频会议应用程序、电子邮件应用程序、即时消息应用程序、健身支持应用程序、照片管理应用程序、数字相机应用程序、数字视频相机应用程序、web浏览应用程序、数字音乐播放器应用程序、和/或数字视频播放器应用程序。
在设备上执行的各种应用程序任选地使用至少一个通用的物理用户界面设备,诸如触敏表面。触敏表面的一种或多种功能以及被显示在设备上的对应信息任选地对于不同应用程序被调整和/或变化,和/或在相应应用程序内被调整和/或变化。这样,设备的共用物理架构(诸如触敏表面)任选地利用对于用户而言直观且清楚的用户界面来支持各种应用程序。
图1示出了根据各种示例的系统100的框图。在一些示例中,系统100 可实现数字助理。术语“数字助理”、“虚拟助理”、“智能自动化助理”或“自动数字助理”可指解译语音形式和/或文本形式的自然语言输入以推断用户意图并且基于推断出的用户意图来执行动作的任何信息处理系统。例如,为了遵循所推断的用户意图,系统可执行以下中的一者或多者:标识具有被设计用于实现所推断的用户意图的步骤和参数的任务流,将来自所推断的用户意图的特定要求输入到任务流中;通过调用程序、方法、服务、API等执行任务流;以及以可听(例如,语音)和/或可视形式来生成对用户的输出响应。
具体地,数字助理可以能够接受至少部分地为自然语言命令、请求、声明、讲述和/或询问的形式的用户请求。通常,用户请求可寻求数字助理作出信息性回答,或寻求数字助理执行任务。针对用户请求的令人满意的响应可以是提供所请求的信息性回答、执行所请求的任务,或这两者的组合。例如,用户可向数字助理提出问题,诸如“我现在在哪里?”基于用户的当前位置,数字助理可回答“您在中央公园西门附近。”用户还可请求执行任务,例如“请邀请我的朋友下周来参加我女朋友的生日聚会。”作为响应,数字助理可通过讲出“好的,马上”来确认请求,并然后代表用户将合适的日历邀请发送至用户的电子通讯录中列出的用户朋友中的每个朋友。在执行所请求的任务期间,数字助理有时可在很长时间段内在涉及多次信息交换的持续对话中与用户进行交互。存在与数字助理进行交互以请求信息或执行各种任务的许多其他方法。除提供言语响应并采取经编程的动作之外,数字助理还可提供其他视觉形式或音频形式的响应,例如作为文本、警报、音乐、视频、动画等。
如图1中所示,在一些示例中,数字助理可根据客户端-服务器模型来实现。数字助理可包括在用户设备104上执行的客户端侧部分102(后文称作“DA客户端102”),以及在服务器系统108上执行的服务器侧部分 106(后文称作“DA服务器106”)。DA客户端102可通过一个或多个网络110来与DA服务器106进行通信。DA客户端102可提供客户端侧功能,诸如面向用户的输入和输出处理,以及与DA服务器106进行通信。 DA服务器106可为任意数量的DA客户端102提供服务器侧功能,该任意数量的DA客户端102各自位于相应的用户设备104上。
在一些示例中,DA服务器106可包括面向客户端的I/O接口112、一个或多个处理模块114、数据和模型116,以及至外部服务的I/O接口 118。面向客户端的I/O接口112可促进针对DA服务器106的面向客户端的输入和输出处理。一个或多个处理模块114可利用数据和模型116来处理语音输入,并基于自然语言输入来确定用户的意图。此外,一个或多个处理模块114基于推断出的用户意图来进行任务执行。在一些示例中,DA 服务器106可通过一个或多个网络110来与外部服务120进行通信,以完成任务或采集信息。至外部服务的I/O接口118可促进此类通信。
用户设备104可以是任何合适的电子设备。例如,用户设备可以是便携式多功能设备(例如下面参考图2A描述的设备200)、多功能设备(例如下面参考图4描述的设备400)、或个人电子设备(例如下面参考图6A- B描述的设备600)。便携式多功能设备可以是例如还包含诸如PDA和/或音乐播放器功能的其他功能的移动电话。便携式多功能设备的特定示例可包括来自Apple Inc.(Cupertino,California)的

设备。便携式多功能设备的其他示例可包括但不限于膝上型电脑或平板电脑。此外,在一些示例中,用户设备104可以是非便携式多功能设备。具体地,用户设备104可以是台式计算机、游戏机、电视、或电视机顶盒。在一些示例中,用户设备104可包括触敏表面(例如,触摸屏显示器和/或触摸板)。此外,用户设备104可任选地包括一个或多个其他物理用户接口设备,诸如物理键盘、鼠标、和/或操纵杆。下文更详细地描述了电子设备诸如多功能设备的各种示例。
一个或多个通信网络110的示例可包括局域网(LAN)和广域网 (WAN),例如互联网。一个或多个通信网络110可使用任何已知的网络协议来实现,包括各种有线或无线协议,诸如例如以太网、通用串行总线 (USB)、火线、全球移动通信系统(GSM)、增强型数据GSM环境(EDGE)、码分多址(CDMA)、时分多址(TDMA)、蓝牙、Wi-Fi、互联网协议语音 (VoIP)、Wi-MAX、或任何其他合适的通信协议。
服务器系统108可在计算机的一个或多个独立式数据处理设备或分布式网络上实施。在一些示例中,服务器系统108还可采用第三方服务提供方(例如,第三方云服务提供方)的各种虚拟设备和/或服务来提供服务器系统108的潜在计算资源和/或基础结构资源。
在一些示例中,用户设备104可经由第二用户设备122来与DA服务器106进行通信。第二用户设备122可与用户设备104相似或相同。例如,第二用户设备122可类似于下文参考图2A、图4和图6A至图6B描述的设备200、设备400或设备600。用户设备104可被配置为经由直接通信连接诸如蓝牙、NFC、BTLE等或者经由有线或无线网络诸如局域Wi-Fi网络而通信耦接至第二用户设备122。在一些示例中,第二用户设备122可被配置为充当用户设备104与DA服务器106之间的代理。例如,用户设备 104的DA客户端102可被配置为经由第二用户设备122来向DA服务器 106传输信息(例如,在用户设备104处接收的用户请求)。DA服务器106可处理该信息并经由第二用户设备122来将相关的数据(例如,响应于用户请求的数据内容)返回到用户设备104。
在一些示例中,用户设备104可被配置为将针对数据的缩略请求发送到第二用户设备122,以减少从用户设备104传输的信息量。第二用户设备 122可被配置为确定添加到缩略请求的补充信息,以生成完整的请求,从而传输到DA服务器106。该系统架构可有利地通过使用具有较强通信能力和 /或电池电力的第二用户设备122(例如,移动电话、膝上型计算机、平板电脑等)作为至DA服务器106的代理而允许具有有限通信能力和/或有限电池电力的用户设备104(例如,手表或类似的紧凑型电子设备)访问由 DA服务器106所提供的服务。虽然图1中仅示出两个用户设备104和 122,应当理解,系统100可包括在此代理配置中被配置为与DA服务器系统106进行通信的任意数量和类型的用户设备。
虽然图1中所示的数字助理可包括客户端侧部分(例如,DA客户端 102)和服务器侧部分(例如,DA服务器106)两者,但在一些示例中,数字助理的功能可被实现为被安装在用户设备上的独立式应用程序。此外,数字助理的客户端部分与服务器部分之间的功能划分在不同的具体实施中可变化。例如,在一些示例中,DA客户端可以是仅提供面向用户的输入和输出处理功能并将数字助理的所有其他功能委派给后端服务器的瘦客户端。
1.电子设备
现在将注意力转至用于实现数字助理的客户端侧部分的电子设备的实施方案。图2A为示出了根据一些实施方案的具有触敏显示器系统212的便携式多功能设备200的框图。触敏显示器212有时为了方便被叫做“触摸屏”,并且有时被称为或被叫做“触敏显示器系统”。设备200包括存储器202(其任选地包括一个或多个计算机可读存储介质)、存储器控制器 222、一个或多个处理单元(CPU)220、外围设备接口218、RF电路208、音频电路210、扬声器211、麦克风213、输入/输出(I/O)子系统206、其他输入控制设备216、和外部端口224。设备200任选地包括一个或多个光学传感器264。设备200任选地包括用于检测设备200(例如触敏表面,诸如设备200的触敏显示器系统212)上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器265。设备200任选地包括用于在设备200上生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器267(例如,在触敏表面诸如设备200的触敏显示器系统 212或设备400的触摸板455上生成触觉输出)。这些部件任选地通过一个或多个通信总线或信号线203来进行通信。
如在本说明书和权利要求书中所使用的那样,触敏表面上的接触的术语“强度”是指触敏表面上的接触(例如,手指接触)的力或压力(每单位面积的力),或是指触敏表面上的接触的力或压力的替代物(代用物)。接触的强度具有值范围,该值范围包括至少四个不同的值并且更典型地包括上百个不同的值(例如至少256个)。接触的强度任选地使用各种方法和各种传感器或传感器的组合来确定(或测量)。例如,在触敏表面下方或相邻于触敏表面的一个或多个力传感器任选地用于测量触敏表面上的不同点处的力。在一些具体实施中,来自多个力传感器的力测量被合并(例如,加权平均数),以确定估计的接触力。类似地,触笔的压敏顶端任选地用于确定触笔在触敏表面上的压力。另选地,在触敏表面上检测到的接触面积的尺寸和/或其变化、邻近接触的触敏表面的电容和/或其变化、和/或邻近接触的触敏表面的电阻和/或其变化任选地被用作触敏表面上的接触的力或压力的替代物。在一些具体实施中,接触力或压力的替代测量直接用于确定是否已超过强度阈值(例如,强度阈值以与替代物测量对应的单位来描述)。在一些具体实施中,接触力或压力的替代测量被转换成估计的力或压力,并且估计的力或压力用于确定是否已超过强度阈值 (例如,强度阈值为以压力的单位进行测量的压力阈值)。使用接触的强度作为用户输入的属性,从而允许用户访问用户在尺寸更小的设备上可能本来不能访问的附加设备功能,该尺寸更小的设备具有有限的实地面积以用于(例如,在触敏显示器上)显示示能表示和/或接收用户输入(例如,经由触敏显示器、触敏表面或物理控件/机械控件,诸如旋钮或按钮)。
如本说明书和权利要求书中所使用的,术语“触觉输出”是指将由用户利用用户的触感检测到的设备相对于设备的先前位置的物理位移、设备的部件(例如,触敏表面)相对于设备的另一个部件(例如,外壳)的物理位移、或部件相对于设备的质心的位移。例如,在设备或设备的部件与用户对触摸敏感的表面(例如,手指、手掌或用户手部的其他部分)接触的情况下,通过物理位移生成的触觉输出将由用户解释为触感,该触感与设备或设备的部件的物理特征的所感知的变化对应。例如,触敏表面(例如,触敏显示器或触控板)的移动任选地由用户解释为对物理致动按钮的“按下点击”或“松开点击”。在一些情况下,用户将感觉到触感,诸如“按下点击”或“松开点击”,即使在通过用户的移动而物理地被按压 (例如,被移位)的与触敏表面相关联的物理致动按钮没有移动时。作为另一个示例,即使在触敏表面的光滑度无变化时,触敏表面的移动也会任选地由用户解释为或感测为触敏表面的“粗糙度”。虽然由用户对触摸的此类解释将受到用户的个体化感官知觉的限制,但是有许多触摸的感官知觉为大多数用户共有的。因此,当触觉输出被描述为与用户的特定感官知觉(例如,“松开点击”、“按下点击”、“粗糙度”)对应时,除非另外陈述,否则所生成的触觉输出与设备或其部件的物理位移对应,该物理位移将会生成典型(或普通)用户的所描述的感官知觉。
应当理解,设备200仅是便携式多功能设备的一个示例,并且设备 200任选地具有比所示出的更多或更少的部件,任选地组合两个或更多个部件,或者任选地具有这些部件的不同配置或布置。图2A中所示的各种部件以硬件、软件或硬件与软件两者的组合来实现,包括一个或多个信号处理电路和/或专用集成电路。
存储器202可包括一个或多个计算机可读存储介质。该计算机可读存储介质可以是有形的和非暂态的。存储器202可包括高速随机存取存储器并且还可包括非易失性存储器,诸如一个或多个磁盘存储设备、闪存存储器设备、或其他非易失性固态存储器设备。存储器控制器222可控制设备 200的其他部件访问存储器202。
在一些示例中,存储器202的非暂态计算机可读存储介质可用于存储指令(例如,用于执行下文描述的方法900的各方面)以供指令执行系统、装置或设备诸如基于计算机的系统、包含处理器的系统或可从指令执行系统、装置或设备获取指令并执行指令的其他系统使用或与其结合。在其他示例中,指令(例如,用于执行下文描述的方法900的各方面)可被存储在服务器系统108的非暂态计算机可读存储介质(未示出)上,或者可在存储器202的非暂态计算机可读存储介质与服务器系统108的非暂态计算机可读存储介质之间划分。在本文档的上下文中,“非暂态计算机可读存储介质”可以是可包括或存储程序以供指令执行系统、装置和设备使用或与其结合的任何介质。
外围设备接口218可被用于将设备的输入外围设备和输出外围设备耦接到CPU220和存储器202。该一个或多个处理器220运行或执行被存储在存储器202中的各种软件程序和/或指令集,以执行设备200的各种功能并处理数据。在一些实施方案中,外围设备接口218、CPU 220、和存储器控制器222可在单个芯片诸如芯片204上实现。在一些其他实施方案中,它们可在单独的芯片上实现。
RF(射频)电路208接收和发送也被叫做电磁信号的RF信号。RF电路208将电信号转换为电磁信号/将电磁信号转换为电信号,并且经由电磁信号来与通信网络以及其他通信设备进行通信。RF电路208任选地包括用于执行这些功能的熟知的电路,包括但不限于天线系统、RF收发器、一个或多个放大器、调谐器、一个或多个振荡器、数字信号处理器、编解码芯片组、用户身份模块(SIM)卡、存储器等等。RF电路208任选地通过无线通信来与网络以及其他设备进行通信,该网络为诸如互联网(也被称为万维网(WWW))、内联网、和/或无线网络(诸如蜂窝电话网络、无线局域网 (LAN)和/或城域网(MAN))。RF电路208任选地包括用于检测近场通信 (NFC)场的熟知的电路,诸如通过近程通信无线电部件来进行检测。无线通信任选地使用多种通信标准、协议和技术中的任一种,包括但不限于全球移动通信系统(GSM)、增强型数据GSM环境(EDGE)、高速下行链路分组接入(HSDPA)、高速上行链路分组接入(HSUPA)、演进、纯数据(EV-DO)、 HSPA、HSPA+、双小区HSPA(DC-HSPDA)、长期演进(LTE)、近场通信 (NFC)、宽带码分多址(W-CDMA)、码分多址(CDMA)、时分多址 (TDMA)、蓝牙、蓝牙低功耗(BTLE)、无线保真(Wi-Fi)(例如,IEEE 802.11a、IEEE 802.11b、IEEE 802.11g、IEEE802.11n和/或IEEE 802.11ac)、互联网协议语音(VoIP)、Wi-MAX、电子邮件协议(例如,互联网消息访问协议(IMAP)和/或邮局协议(POP))、即时消息(例如,可扩展消息处理和存在协议(XMPP)、用于即时消息和存在利用扩展的会话发起协议(SIMPLE)、即时消息和存在服务(IMPS))和/或短消息服务(SMS),或者任何其他适当的通信协议,包括在本文档提交日期时尚未开发出的通信协议。
音频电路210、扬声器211和麦克风213提供用户和设备200之间的音频接口。音频电路210从外围设备接口218接收音频数据,将音频数据转换为电信号,并将电信号传输到扬声器211。扬声器211将电信号转换为人类可听见的声波。音频电路210还接收由麦克风213根据声波转换的电信号。音频电路210将电信号转换为音频数据并将音频数据传输到外围设备接口218,以用于处理。音频数据可由外围设备接口218检索自和/或被传输至存储器202和/或RF电路208。在一些实施方案中,音频电路210还包括耳麦插孔(例如,图3中的312)。该耳麦插孔提供音频电路210与可移除的音频输入/输出外围设备之间的接口,该可移除的音频输入/输出外围设备诸如仅输出的耳机或者具有输出(例如,单耳耳机或双耳耳机)和输入 (例如,麦克风)两者的耳麦。
I/O子系统206将设备200上的输入/输出外围设备诸如触摸屏212和其他输入控制设备216耦接至外围设备接口218。I/O子系统206任选地包括显示控制器256、光学传感器控制器258、强度传感器控制器259、触觉反馈控制器261,以及用于其他输入或控制设备的一个或多个输入控制器 260。该一个或多个输入控制器260从其他输入控制设备216接收电信号/将电信号发送到其他输入控制设备216。其他输入控制设备216任选地包括物理按钮(例如,下压按钮、摇臂按钮等)、拨号盘、滑动开关、操纵杆、点击轮等。在一些另选实施方案中,输入控制器260任选地耦接至以下各项中的任一者(或不耦接至以下各项中的任一者):键盘、红外线端口、 USB端口以及指针设备诸如鼠标。所述一个或多个按钮(例如,图3中的308)任选地包括用于扬声器211和/或麦克风213的音量控制的增大/减小按钮。所述一个或多个按钮任选地包括下压按钮(例如,图3中的306)。
快速按下下压按钮可解除对触摸屏212的锁定或者开始使用触摸屏上的手势来对设备进行解锁的过程,如于2005年12月23日提交的标题为“Unlocking a Device byPerforming Gestures on an Unlock Image”的美国专利申请11/322,549以及美国专利申请7,657,849中所述的,上述美国专利申请据此全文以引用的方式并入本文。更长地按下下压按钮(例如,306)可使设备200开机或关机。用户能够对一个或多个按钮的功能进行自定义。触摸屏212用于实现虚拟按钮或软按钮以及一个或多个软键盘。
触敏显示器212提供设备和用户之间的输入接口和输出接口。显示控制器256从触摸屏212接收电信号和/或将电信号发送至触摸屏212。触摸屏212向用户显示视觉输出。该视觉输出可包括图形、文本、图标、视频、以及它们的任意组合(统称为“图形”)。在一些实施方案中,一些视觉输出或全部的视觉输出可对应于用户界面对象。
触摸屏212具有基于触觉和/或触感接触来接受来自用户的输入的触敏表面、传感器或传感器组。触摸屏212和显示控制器256(与存储器202中的任何相关联的模块和/或指令集一起)检测触摸屏212上的接触(和该接触的任何移动或中断),并且将所检测到的接触转换为与被显示在触摸屏 212上的用户界面对象(例如,一个或多个软键、图标、网页或图像)的交互。在一个示例性实施方案中,触摸屏212和用户之间的接触点对应于用户的手指。
触摸屏212可使用LCD(液晶显示器)技术、LPD(发光聚合物显示器)技术或LED(发光二极管)技术,但在其他实施方案中可使用其他显示技术。触摸屏212和显示控制器256可使用现在已知或以后将开发的多种触摸感测技术中的任何技术以及其他接近传感器阵列或用于确定与触摸屏212的一个或多个接触点的其他元件来检测接触及其任何移动或中断,该多种触摸感测技术包括但不限于电容式技术、电阻式技术、红外技术和表面声波技术。在一个示例性实施方案中,使用投射式互电容感测技术,诸如在Apple Inc.(Cupertino,California)的

和iPod
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000192
中发现的技术。
触摸屏212的一些实施方案中的触敏显示器可类似于在美国专利 6,323,846(Westerman等人)、6,570,557(Westerman等人)、和/或 6,677,932(Westerman)、以及/或者美国专利公开2002/0015024A1中描述的多点触敏触摸板,这些美国专利文献中每一者全文以引用方式并入本文。然而,触摸屏212显示来自设备200的视觉输出,而触敏触摸板不提供视觉输出。
触摸屏212的一些实施方案中的触敏显示器可如以下申请中所述:(1) 2006年5月2日提交的美国专利申请11/381,313,“Multipoint Touch Surface Controller”;(2)2004年5月6日提交的美国专利申请10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen”;(3)2004年7月30日提交的美国专利申请 10/903,964,“Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices”;(4)2005年1月 31日提交的美国专利申请11/048,264,“Gestures For Touch SensitiveInput Devices”;(5)2005年1月18日提交的美国专利申请11/038,590,“Mode- BasedGraphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices”;(6)2005 年9月16日提交的美国专利申请11/228,758,“Virtual Input Device Placement On A TouchScreen User Interface”;(7)2005年9月16日提交的美国专利申请11/228,700,“Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface”;(8)2005年9月16日提交的美国专利申请11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen VirtualKeyboard”;和(9)2006 年3月3日提交的美国专利申请11/367,749,“Multi-FunctionalHand-Held Device”;所有这些专利申请均全文以引用方式并入本文。
触摸屏212可具有超过100dpi的视频分辨率。在一些实施方案中,触摸屏具有约160dpi的视频分辨率。用户可使用任何合适的对象或附加物诸如触笔、手指等来与触摸屏212接触。在一些实施方案中,将用户界面设计用来主要与基于手指的接触和手势一起工作,由于手指在触摸屏上的接触面积较大,因此这可能不如基于触笔的输入那样精确。在一些实施方案中,设备将基于手指的粗略输入翻译为精确的指针/光标位置或命令,以用于执行用户所期望的动作。
在一些实施方案中,除了触摸屏之外,设备200还可包括用于激活或去激活特定功能的触控板(未示出)。在一些实施方案中,该触摸板为设备的触敏区域,该触敏区域与触摸屏不同,其不显示视觉输出。触摸板可为与触摸屏212分开的触敏表面,或者是由触摸屏形成的触敏表面的延伸部分。
设备200还包括用于为各种部件供电的电力系统262。电力系统262可包括电力管理系统、一个或多个电源(例如,电池、交流电(AC))、再充电系统、电力故障检测电路、功率变换器或逆变器、电源状态指示器(例如,发光二极管(LED))和与便携式设备中的电力的生成、管理和分配相关联的任何其他部件。
设备200还可包括一个或多个光学传感器264。图2A示出了耦接至 I/O子系统206中的光学传感器控制器258的光学传感器。光学传感器264 可包括电荷耦合器件(CCD)或互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)光电晶体管。光学传感器264从环境接收通过一个或多个透镜而投射的光,并且将光转换为表示图像的数据。结合成像模块243(也被叫做相机模块),光学传感器264可捕获静态图像或视频。在一些实施方案中,光学传感器位于与设备前部上的触摸屏显示器212相背对的设备200的后部上,使得触摸屏显示器可被用作用于静态图像和/或视频图像采集的取景器。在一些实施方案中,光学传感器位于设备前部上,使得在用户在触摸屏显示器上查看其他视频会议参与者时可获得该用户的图像以用于该视频会议。在一些实施方案中,光学传感器264的位置可由用户改变(例如,通过旋转设备外壳中的透镜和传感器),使得单个光学传感器264可与触摸屏显示器一起使用,以用于视频会议和静态图像和/或视频图像采集两者。

上述模块和应用程序中的每个模块和应用程序对应于用于执行上述一种或多种功能以及在该专利申请中所述的方法(例如,本文所述的计算机实现的方法和其他信息处理方法)的可执行指令集。这些模块(例如,指令集)不必被实现为独立的软件程序、过程或模块,并因此在各种实施方案中可组合或以其他方式重新布置这些模块的各种子集。例如,视频播放器模块可与音乐播放器模块组合成单个模块(例如,图2A中的视频和音乐播放器模块252)。在一些实施方案中,存储器202可存储上述模块和数据结构的子集。此外,存储器202可存储上文没有描述的附加模块和数据结构。
在一些实施方案中,设备200是该设备上的一组预定义功能的操作唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触摸板来执行的设备。通过使用触摸屏和/或触摸板作为用于设备200的操作的主要输入控制设备,可减少设备200上的物理输入控制设备(诸如下压按钮、拨号盘等等)的数量。
唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触控板执行的该组预定义功能任选地包括在用户界面之间进行导航。在一些实施方案中,该触摸板在被用户触摸时将设备200从被显示在设备200上的任何用户界面导航到主菜单、home菜单、或根菜单。在此类实施方案中,使用触摸板来实现“菜单按钮”。在一些其他实施方案中,该菜单按钮为物理下压按钮或者其他物理输入控制设备,而不是触摸板。
图2B是示出了根据一些实施方案用于事件处理的示例性部件的框图。在一些实施方案中,存储器202(图2A)或存储器470(图4)包括事件分类器270(例如,在操作系统226中)以及相应的应用程序236-1(例如,前述应用程序237至251、255、480至490中的任一个应用程序)。
事件分类器270接收事件信息并确定要将事件信息递送到的应用程序 236-1和应用程序236-1的应用程序视图291。事件分类器270包括事件监视器271和事件分配器模块274。在一些实施方案中,应用程序236-1包括应用程序内部状态292,该应用程序内部状态指示当应用程序为活动的或正在执行时被显示在触敏显示器212上的当前应用程序视图。在一些实施方案中,设备/全局内部状态257被事件分类器270用于确定哪个(哪些)应用程序当前为活动的,并且应用程序内部状态292被事件分类器270用于确定要将事件信息递送到的应用程序视图291。
在一些实施方案中,应用程序内部状态292包括另外的信息,诸如以下各项中的一者或多者:当应用程序236-1恢复执行时将被使用的恢复信息、指示正被应用程序236-1显示的信息或准备好用于被该应用程序显示的信息的用户界面状态信息、用于使得用户能够返回到应用程序236-1的前一状态或视图的状态队列、以及用户采取的先前动作的重复/撤销队列。
事件监视器271从外围设备接口218接收事件信息。事件信息包括关于子事件(例如,触敏显示器212上作为多点触摸手势的一部分的用户触摸)的信息。外围设备接口218传输其从I/O子系统206或传感器诸如接近传感器266、加速度计268和/或麦克风213(通过音频电路210)接收的信息。外围设备接口218从I/O子系统206接收的信息包括来自触敏显示器 212或触敏表面的信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件监视器271以预先确定的间隔将请求发送至外围设备接口218。作为响应,外围设备接口218传输事件信息。在其他实施方案中,外围设备接口218仅当存在显著事件(例如,接收到高于预先确定的噪声阈值和/或接收到超过预先确定的持续时间的输入)时才传输事件信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件分类器270还包括命中视图确定模块272和/ 或活动事件识别器确定模块273。
当触敏显示器212显示多于一个视图时,命中视图确定模块272提供用于确定子事件已在一个或多个视图内的什么地方发生的软件过程。视图由用户可在显示器上看到的控件和其他元件构成。
与应用程序相关联的用户界面的另一方面是一组视图,在本文中有时也被称为应用程序视图或用户界面窗口,在其中显示信息并且发生基于触摸的手势。在其中检测到触摸的(相应应用程序的)应用程序视图可对应于应用程序的程序化或视图分级结构内的程序化水平。例如,在其中检测到触摸的最低层级视图可被叫做命中视图,并且被识别为正确输入的那组事件可至少部分地基于开始基于触摸的手势的初始触摸的命中视图来确定。
点击视图确定模块272接收与基于接触的手势的子事件相关的信息。当应用程序具有在分级结构中组织的多个视图时,命中视图确定模块272 将命中视图识别为应对子事件进行处理的分级结构中的最低视图。在大多数情况下,该命中视图为发起子事件(例如,形成事件或潜在事件的子事件序列中的第一子事件)在其中发生的最低水平视图。一旦命中视图被命中视图确定模块272识别,命中视图就通常接收与其被识别为命中视图所针对的同一触摸或输入源相关的所有子事件。
活动事件识别器确定模块273确定视图分级结构内的哪个或哪些视图应接收特定子事件序列。在一些实施方案中,活动事件识别器确定模块273 确定仅命中视图才应接收特定子事件序列。在其他实施方案中,活动事件识别器确定模块273确定包括子事件的物理位置的所有视图均为活跃参与的视图,因此确定所有活跃参与的视图都应接收特定子事件序列。在其他实施方案中,即使触摸子事件完全被局限到与一个特定视图相关联的区域,但在分级结构中较高的视图将仍然保持为活跃参与的视图。
事件分配器模块274将事件信息分配到事件识别器(例如,事件识别器280)。在包括活动事件识别器确定模块273的实施方案中,事件分配器模块274将事件信息递送到由活动事件识别器确定模块273确定的事件识别器。在一些实施方案中,事件分配器模块274在事件队列中存储事件信息,该事件信息由相应事件接收器282进行检索。
在一些实施方案中,操作系统226包括事件分类器270。另选地,应用程序236-1包括事件分类器270。在另一个实施方案中,事件分类器270 为独立模块,或者为被存储在存储器202中的另一个模块(诸如接触/运动模块230)的一部分。
在一些实施方案中,应用程序236-1包括多个事件处理程序290和一个或多个应用程序视图291,其中每个应用程序视图包括用于处理发生在应用程序的用户界面的相应视图内的触摸事件的指令。应用程序236-1的每个应用程序视图291包括一个或多个事件识别器280。通常,相应应用程序视图291包括多个事件识别器280。在其他实施方案中,事件识别器280中的一个或多个事件识别器为独立模块的一部分,该独立模块诸如用户界面工具包(未示出)或应用程序236-1从中继承方法和其他属性的更高水平的对象。在一些实施方案中,相应事件处理程序290包括以下各项中的一者或多者:数据更新器276、对象更新器277、GUI更新器278、和/或从事件分类器270接收的事件数据279。事件处理程序290可利用或调用数据更新器 276、对象更新器277或GUI更新器278,以更新应用程序内部状态292。另选地,应用程序视图291中的一个或多个应用程序视图包括一个或多个相应事件处理程序290。另外,在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276、对象更新器277和GUI更新器278中的一者或多者被包括在相应应用程序视图 291中。
相应的事件识别器280从事件分类器270接收事件信息(例如,事件数据279),并且从事件信息识别事件。事件识别器280包括事件接收器 282和事件比较器284。在一些实施方案中,事件识别器280还至少包括元数据283和事件递送指令288(其可包括子事件递送指令)的子集。
事件接收器282接收来自事件分类器270的事件信息。该事件信息包括关于子事件例如触摸或触摸移动的信息。根据子事件,事件信息还包括附加信息,诸如子事件的位置。当子事件涉及触摸的运动时,事件信息还可包括子事件的速率和方向。在一些实施方案中,事件包括设备从一个取向旋转到另一取向(例如,从纵向取向到横向取向,或反之亦然)的旋转,并且事件信息包括关于设备的当前取向(也被称为设备姿态)的对应信息。
事件比较器284将事件信息与预定义的事件或子事件定义进行比较,并且基于该比较,确定事件或子事件,或者确定或更新事件或子事件的状态。在一些实施方案中,事件比较器284包括事件定义286。事件定义286 包含事件的定义(例如,预定义的子事件序列),例如事件1(287-1)、事件 2(287-2)、以及其他事件。在一些实施方案中,事件(287)中的子事件例如包括触摸开始、触摸结束、触摸移动、触摸取消和多点触摸。在一个示例中,针对事件1(287-1)的定义为被显示对象上的双击。例如,该双击包括被显示对象上的预先确定时长的第一次触摸(触摸开始)、预先确定时长的第一次抬起(触摸结束)、被显示对象上的预先确定时长的第二次触摸(触摸开始)、以及预先确定时长的第二次抬起(触摸结束)。在另一个示例中,针对事件2(287-2)的定义为被显示对象上的拖动。例如,该拖动包括所显示对象上的预先确定时长的触摸(或接触)、触摸在触敏显示器212上的移动、以及触摸的抬离(触摸结束)。在一些实施方案中,事件还包括用于一个或多个相关联的事件处理程序290的信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件定义287包括对用于相应用户界面对象的事件的定义。在一些实施方案中,事件比较器284执行命中测试,以确定哪个用户界面对象与子事件相关联。例如,在触摸显示器212上显示三个用户界面对象的应用程序视图中,当在触敏显示器212上检测到触摸时,事件比较器284执行命中测试,以确定这三个用户界面对象中的哪一个用户界面对象与该触摸(子事件)相关联。如果每个所显示的对象与相应的事件处理程序290相关联,则事件比较器使用该命中测试的结果来确定哪个事件处理程序290应当被激活。例如,事件比较器284选择与子事件和触发该命中测试的对象相关联的事件处理程序。
在一些实施方案中,相应事件(287)的定义还包括延迟动作,该延迟动作延迟事件信息的递送,直到已确定子事件序列确实对应于或不对应于事件识别器的事件类型。
当相应事件识别器280确定子事件序列不与事件定义286中的任何事件匹配时,该相应事件识别器280进入事件不可能、事件失败或事件结束状态,在此之后忽略基于触摸的手势的后续子事件。在这种情况下,对于命中视图保持活动的其它事件识别器(如果有的话)继续跟踪和处理正在进行的基于触摸的手势的子事件。
在一些实施方案中,相应事件识别器280包括具有指示事件递送系统应该如何执行对活跃参与的事件识别器的子事件递送的可配置属性、标记和/或列表的元数据283。在一些实施方案中,元数据283包括用于指示事件识别器可如何彼此进行交互或者如何被启用以彼此进行交互的可配置属性、标志和/或列表。在一些实施方案中,元数据283包括指示子事件是否递送到视图或程序化分级结构中的不同层级的可配置属性、标志和/或列表。
在一些实施方案中,当识别事件的一个或多个特定子事件时,相应事件识别器280激活与事件相关联的事件处理程序290。在一些实施方案中,相应事件识别器280将与事件相关联的事件信息递送到事件处理程序290。激活事件处理程序290不同于将子事件发送(和延期发送)到相应命中视图。在一些实施方案中,事件识别器280抛出与所识别的事件相关联的标志,并且与该标志相关联的事件处理程序290接获该标志并执行预定义的过程。
在一些实施方案中,事件递送指令288包括递送关于子事件的事件信息而无需激活事件处理程序的子事件递送指令。相反,子事件递送指令将事件信息递送到与子事件系列相关联的事件处理程序或递送到活跃参与的视图。与子事件系列或与活跃参与的视图相关联的事件处理程序接收事件信息并执行预先确定的过程。
在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276创建并更新在应用程序236-1中使用的数据。例如,数据更新器276对联系人模块237中所使用的电话号码进行更新,或者对视频播放器模块中所使用的视频文件进行存储。在一些实施方案中,对象更新器277创建和更新在应用程序236-1中使用的对象。例如,对象更新器277创建新用户界面对象或更新用户界面对象的位置。GUI更新器278更新GUI。例如,GUI更新器278准备显示信息并且将显示信息发送到图形模块232,以用于显示在触敏显示器上。
在一些实施方案中,事件处理程序290包括数据更新器276、对象更新器277和GUI更新器278,或具有对该数据更新器、该对象更新器和该 GUI更新器的访问权限。在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276、对象更新器 277和GUI更新器278被包括在相应应用程序236-1或应用程序视图291的单个模块中。在其他实施方案中,它们被包括在两个或更多个软件模块中。
应当理解,关于触敏显示器上的用户触摸的事件处理的上述论述还适用于利用输入设备来操作多功能设备200的其他形式的用户输入,并不是所有用户输入都是在触摸屏上发起的。例如,任选地与单次或多次键盘按下或按住协作的鼠标移动和鼠标按钮按下;触摸板上的接触移动,诸如轻击、拖动、滚动等;触笔输入;设备的移动;口头指令;检测到的眼睛移动;生物特征输入;和/或它们的任何组合任选地被用作对应于限定要识别的事件的子事件的输入。

设备200还可包括一个或多个物理按钮,诸如“home”或菜单按钮 304。如前所述,菜单按钮304可用于导航到可在设备200上执行的一组应用程序中的任何应用程序236。另选地,在一些实施方案中,菜单按钮被实现为被显示在触摸屏212上的GUI中的软键。
在一个实施方案中,设备200包括触摸屏212、菜单按钮304、用于使设备通电/断电和用于锁定设备的下压按钮306、一个或多个音量调节按钮 308、用户身份模块(SIM)卡槽310、耳麦插孔312、和对接/充电外部端口 224。下压按钮306任选地用于通过压下该按钮并且将该按钮保持在压下状态持续预定义的时间间隔来对设备进行开/关机;通过压下该按钮并在该预定义的时间间隔过去之前释放该按钮来锁定设备;和/或对设备进行解锁或发起解锁过程。在另选的实施方案中,设备200还通过麦克风213来接受用于激活或去激活一些功能的言语输入。设备200还任选地包括用于检测触摸屏212上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器265,和/或用于为设备200的用户生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器267。
图4是根据一些实施方案的具有显示器和触敏表面的示例性多功能设备的框图。设备400不必为便携式的。在一些实施方案中,设备400为膝上型计算机、台式计算机、平板电脑、多媒体播放器设备、导航设备、教育设备(诸如儿童学习玩具)、游戏系统、或控制设备(例如,家用控制器或工业用控制器)。设备400通常包括一个或多个处理单元(CPU)410、一个或多个网络或其他通信接口460、存储器470、和用于使这些部件互连的一个或多个通信总线420。通信总线420任选地包括使系统部件互连并且控制系统部件之间的通信的电路(有时被叫做芯片组)。设备400包括具有显示器440的输入/输出(I/O)接口430,该显示器通常为触摸屏显示器。 I/O接口430还任选地包括键盘和/或鼠标(或其他指向设备)450和触摸板 455、用于在设备400上生成触觉输出的触觉输出发生器457(例如,类似于以上参考图2A所述的触觉输出发生器267)、传感器459(例如,光学传感器、加速度传感器、接近传感器、触敏传感器和/或接触强度传感器 (类似于以上参考图2A所述的接触强度传感器265))。存储器470包括高速随机存取存储器,诸如DRAM、SRAM、DDR RAM或其它随机存取固态存储器设备;并且任选地包括非易失性存储器,诸如一个或多个磁盘存储设备、光盘存储设备、闪存设备、或其它非易失性固态存储设备。存储器470任选地包括远离CPU 410定位的一个或多个存储设备。在一些实施方案中,存储器470存储与便携式多功能设备200(图2A)的存储器202中存储的程序、模块和数据结构类似的程序、模块和数据结构或其子集。此外,存储器470任选地存储在便携式多功能设备200的存储器202 中不存在的附加程序、模块、和数据结构。例如,设备400的存储器470 任选地存储绘图模块480、展示模块482、文字处理模块484、网站创建模块486、盘编辑模块488和/或电子表格模块490,而便携式多功能设备200(图2A)的存储器202任选地不存储这些模块。
图4中的上述元素中的每个元素可存储在一个或多个前面提及的存储器设备中。上述所识别的模块中的每个模块对应于用于执行上述功能的指令集。上述模块或程序(例如,指令集)不必被实现为单独的软件程序、过程或模块,并且因此这些模块的各种子集可在各种实施方案中被组合或以其他方式重新布置。在一些实施方案中,存储器470可存储上述模块和数据结构的子集。此外,存储器470可存储上文没有描述的附加模块和数据结构。
现在将注意力转向可在例如便携式多功能设备200上实现的用户界面的实施方案。
图5A示出了根据一些实施方案的便携式多功能设备200上的应用程序菜单的示例性用户界面。类似的用户界面可在设备400上实现。在一些实施方案中,用户界面500包括以下元件或者其子集或超集:
一种或多种无线通信(诸如蜂窝信号和Wi-Fi信号)的一个或多个信号强度指示器502;
·时间504;
·蓝牙指示符505;
·电池状态指示符506;
·具有常用应用程序的图标的托盘508,常用应用程序图标诸如:
ο电话模块238的被标记为“电话”的图标516,该图标任选地包括未接来电或语音留言的数量的指示符514;

ο用于设置应用程序或模块的被标记为“设置”的图标546,该图标提供对设备200及其各种应用程序236的设置的访问。
需注意,图5A中示出的图标标签仅是示例性的。例如,视频和音乐播放器模块252的图标522可任选地被标记为“音乐”或“音乐播放器”。其他标签任选地用于各种应用程序图标。在一些实施方案中,相应应用程序图标的标签包括与该相应应用程序图标对应的应用程序的名称。在一些实施方案中,特定应用程序图标的标签不同于与该特定应用程序图标对应的应用程序的名称。
图5B示出了具有与显示器550(例如,触摸屏显示器212)分开的触敏表面551(例如,图4的平板或触摸板455)的设备(例如,图4的设备 400)上的示例性用户界面。设备400还任选地包括用于检测触敏表面551 上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器(例如,传感器457中的一个或多个传感器)和/或用于为设备400的用户生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器459。
尽管将参考触摸屏显示器212(其中组合了触敏表面和显示器)上的输入给出随后的示例中的一些示例,但是在一些实施方案中,设备检测与显示器分开的触敏表面上的输入,如图5B所示。在一些实施方案中,触敏表面(例如,图5B中的551)具有与显示器(例如,550)上的主轴(例如,图5B中的553)对应的主轴(例如,图5B中的552)。根据这些实施方案,设备检测在与显示器上的相应位置对应的位置(例如,在图5B中, 560对应于568并且562对应于570)处的与触敏表面551的接触(例如,图5B中的560和562)。这样,在触敏表面(例如,图5B中的551)与多功能设备的显示器(图5B中的550)分开时,由设备在触敏表面上检测到的用户输入(例如,接触560和562以及它们的移动)被该设备用于操纵显示器上的用户界面。应当理解,类似的方法任选地用于本文所述的其他用户界面。
另外,虽然主要是参考手指输入(例如,手指接触、单指轻击手势、手指轻扫手势)来给出下面的示例,但是应当理解,在一些实施方案中,这些手指输入中的一个或多个手指输入由来自另一输入设备的输入(例如,基于鼠标的输入或触笔输入)替代。例如,轻扫手势任选地由鼠标点击(例如,而不是接触),之后是光标沿轻扫的路径的移动(例如,而不是接触的移动)来代替。又如,轻击手势任选地由在光标位于轻击手势的位置上方时的鼠标点击(例如,而不是对接触的检测,以及之后的停止检测接触)来代替。类似地,当同时检测到多个用户输入时,应当理解的是,多个计算机鼠标任选地被同时使用,或鼠标和手指接触任选地被同时使用。
图6A示出了示例性个人电子设备600。设备600包括主体602。在一些实施方案中,设备600可包括针对设备200和400(例如,图2A至图 4)所述的特征中的一些或全部特征。在一些实施方案中,设备600具有在下文中称为触摸屏604的触敏显示屏604。另选地,或者除了触摸屏604之外,设备600具有显示器和触敏表面。与设备200和设备400的情况一样,在一些实施方案中,触摸屏604(或触敏表面)可具有用于检测正施加的接触(例如,触摸)强度的一个或多个强度传感器。触摸屏604(或触敏表面)的所述一个或多个强度传感器可提供表示触摸的强度的输出数据。设备600的用户界面可基于触摸强度来对触摸作出响应,这意味着不同强度的触摸可调用设备600上的不同用户界面操作。
用于检测和处理触摸强度的技术可例如在相关申请中找到:于2013年 5月8日提交的标题为“Device,Method,and Graphical User Interface for Displaying UserInterface Objects Corresponding to an Application”的国际专利申请序列号PCT/US2013/040061、以及于2013年11月11日提交的标题为“Device,Method,and GraphicalUser Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display OutputRelationships”的国际专利申请序列号 PCT/US2013/069483,这两个国际专利申请中的每个国际专利申请据此全文以引用方式并入本文。
在一些实施方案中,设备600具有一个或多个输入机构606和608。输入机构606和608(如果包括的话)可为物理形式的。物理输入机构的示例包括下压按钮和可旋转机构。在一些实施方案中,设备600具有一个或多个附接机构。此类附接机构(如果包括的话)可允许将设备600与例如帽子、眼镜、耳环、项链、衬衣、夹克、手镯、表带、手链、裤子、皮带、鞋子、钱包、背包等附接。这些附接机构可允许用户穿戴设备600。
图6B示出了示例性个人电子设备600。在一些实施方案中,设备600 可包括参考图2A、图2B和图4所述的部件中的一些或全部部件。设备600 具有将I/O部分614与一个或多个计算机处理器616和存储器618操作性地耦接的总线612。I/O部分614可连接到显示器604,该显示器可具有触敏部件622并且任选地具有触摸强度敏感部件624。此外,I/O部分614可连接到通信单元630,以用于使用Wi-Fi、蓝牙、近场通信(NFC)、蜂窝和/或其他无线通信技术来接收应用程序和操作系统数据。设备600可包括输入机构606和/或608。例如,输入机构606可以是可旋转输入设备或者可按压且可旋转输入设备。在一些示例中,输入机构608可以是按钮。
在一些示例中,输入机构608可以是麦克风。个人电子设备600可包括各种传感器,诸如GPS传感器632、加速度计634、定向传感器640(例如,罗盘)、陀螺仪636、运动传感器638和/或其组合,所有这些设备均可操作地连接到I/O部分614。
个人电子设备600的存储器618可以是用于存储计算机可执行指令的非暂态计算机可读存储介质,该计算机可执行指令当由一个或多个计算机处理器616执行时例如可使得计算机处理器执行包括过程900、940和980 (图9A至图9H)的下文描述的技术。该计算机可执行指令还可以在任何非暂态计算机可读存储介质内进行存储和/或传输,以供指令执行系统、装置或设备诸如基于计算机的系统、包括处理器的系统或可从指令执行系统、装置或设备获取指令并执行指令的其他系统使用或与其结合。对于本文的目的而言,“非暂态计算机可读存储介质”可以是可有形地包含或存储计算机可执行指令以供指令执行系统、装置和设备使用或与其结合的任何介质。非暂态计算机可读存储介质可包括但不限于磁存储装置、光学存储装置、和/或半导体存储装置。此类存储装置的示例包括磁盘、基于 CD、DVD或Blu-ray技术的光盘、以及持久性固态存储器(诸如闪存、固态驱动器)等。个人电子设备600不限于图6B的部件和配置,而是可包括多种配置的其他部件或附加部件。
如本文所用,术语“示能表示”是指可在设备200,400和/或600(图 2、图4和图6)的显示屏上显示的用户交互式图形用户界面对象。例如,图像(例如,图标)、按钮和文本(例如,超链接)可各自构成示能表示。
如本文所用,术语“焦点选择器”是指用于指示用户正与之进行交互的用户界面的当前部分的输入元素。在包括光标或其他位置标记的一些具体实施中,光标充当“焦点选择器”,使得在光标在特定用户界面元素 (例如,按钮、窗口、滑块或其他用户界面元素)上方时在触敏表面(例如,图4中的触控板455或图5B中的触敏表面551)上检测到输入(例如,按压输入)的情况下,该特定用户界面元素根据所检测到的输入而被调节。在包括能够实现与触摸屏显示器上的用户界面元素的直接交互的触摸屏显示器(例如,图2A中的触敏显示器系统212或图5A中的触摸屏 212)的一些具体实施中,触摸屏上的所检测到的接触充当“焦点选择器”,使得当在触摸屏显示器上在特定用户界面元素(例如,按钮、窗口、滑块或其他用户界面元素)的位置处检测到输入(例如,由接触进行的按压输入)时,该特定用户界面元素根据所检测到的输入而被调节。在一些具体实施中,焦点从用户界面的一个区域移动到用户界面的另一个区域,而无需光标的对应移动或触摸屏显示器上的接触的移动(例如,通过使用制表键或箭头键将焦点从一个按钮移动到另一个按钮);在这些具体实施中,焦点选择器根据焦点在用户界面的不同区域之间的移动而移动。不考虑焦点选择器所采取的具体形式,焦点选择器通常为由用户控制的以便递送与用户界面的用户预期的交互(例如,通过向设备指示用户界面的用户期望与其进行交互的元素)的用户界面元素(或触摸屏显示器上的接触)。例如,在触敏表面(例如,触摸板或触摸屏)上检测到按压输入时,焦点选择器(例如,光标、接触或选择框)在相应按钮上方的位置将指示用户期望激活相应按钮(而不是设备的显示器上示出的其他用户界面元素)。
如说明书和权利要求书中所使用的,接触的“特征强度”这一术语是指基于接触的一个或多个强度的接触的特征。在一些实施方案中,特征强度基于多个强度样本。特征强度任选地基于相对于预定义事件(例如,在检测到接触之后,在检测到接触抬起之前,在检测到接触开始移动之前或之后,在检测到接触结束之前,在检测到接触的强度增大之前或之后和/或在检测到接触的强度减小之前或之后)而言在预先确定的时间段(例如, 0.05秒、0.1秒、0.2秒、0.5秒、1秒、2秒、5秒、10秒)期间采样的预定义数量的强度样本或一组强度样本。接触的特征强度任选地基于以下各项中的一者或多者:接触强度的最大值、接触强度的均值、接触强度的平均值、接触强度的前10%处的值、接触强度的半最大值、接触强度的90%最大值等。在一些实施方案中,在确定特征强度时使用接触的持续时间(例如,在特征强度为接触的强度在时间上的平均值时)。在一些实施方案中,将特征强度与一组一个或多个强度阈值进行比较,以确定用户是否已执行操作。例如,该组一个或多个强度阈值可包括第一强度阈值和第二强度阈值。在该示例中,特征强度未超过第一阈值的接触导致第一操作,特征强度超过第一强度阈值但未超过第二强度阈值的接触导致第二操作,并且特征强度超过第二阈值的接触导致第三操作。在一些实施方案中,使用特征强度与一个或多个阈值之间的比较来确定是否要执行一个或多个操作 (例如,是执行相应操作还是放弃执行相应操作),而不是用于确定执行第一操作还是第二操作。
在一些实施方案中,识别手势的一部分以用于确定特征强度。例如,触敏表面可接收连续的轻扫接触,该连续的轻扫接触从起始位置过渡并到达结束位置,在该结束位置处,接触的强度增加。在该实施例中,接触在结束位置处的特征强度可仅基于连续轻扫接触的一部分,而不是整个轻扫接触(例如,仅结束位置处的轻扫接触的一部分)。在一些实施方案中,可在确定接触的特征强度之前向轻扫手势的强度应用平滑化算法。例如,该平滑化算法任选地包括以下各项中的一者或多者:不加权滑动平均平滑化算法、三角平滑化算法、中值滤波器平滑化算法、和/或指数平滑化算法。在一些情况下,这些平滑化算法消除了轻扫接触的强度中的窄的尖峰或凹陷,以用于确定特征强度。
可相对于一个或多个强度阈值诸如接触检测强度阈值、轻按压强度阈值、深按压强度阈值、和/或一个或多个其他强度阈值来表征触敏表面上的接触的强度。在一些实施方案中,轻按压强度阈值对应于这样的强度:在该强度下,设备将执行通常与点击物理鼠标或触控板的按钮相关联的操作。在一些实施方案中,深按压强度阈值对应于这样的强度:在该强度下设备将执行与通常与点击物理鼠标或触控板的按钮相关联的操作不同的操作。在一些实施方案中,当检测到特征强度低于轻按压强度阈值(例如,并且高于标称接触检测强度阈值,比标称接触检测强度阈值低的接触不再被检测到)的接触时,设备将根据接触在触敏表面上的移动来移动焦点选择器,而无需执行与轻按压强度阈值或深按压强度阈值相关联的操作。一般来讲,除非另有陈述,否则这些强度阈值在不同组的用户界面附图之间为一致的。
接触的特征强度从低于轻按压强度阈值的强度增大到介于轻按压强度阈值与深按压强度阈值之间的强度有时被称为“轻按压”输入。接触的特征强度从低于深按压强度阈值的强度增大到高于深按压强度阈值的强度有时被称为“深按压”输入。接触的特征强度从低于接触检测强度阈值的强度增大到介于接触检测强度阈值与轻按压强度阈值之间的强度有时被称为检测到触摸表面上的接触。接触特征强度从高于接触检测强度阈值的强度减小到低于接触检测强度阈值的强度有时被称为检测到接触从触摸表面抬离。在一些实施方案中,接触检测强度阈值为零。在一些实施方案中,接触检测强度阈值大于零。
在本文中所述的一些实施方案中,响应于检测到包括相应按压输入的手势或响应于检测到利用相应接触(或多个接触)执行的相应按压输入来执行一个或多个操作,其中至少部分地基于检测到该接触(或多个接触) 的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值而检测到相应按压输入。在一些实施方案中,响应于检测到相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向下冲程”)来执行相应操作。在一些实施方案中,按压输入包括相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值以及该接触的强度随后减小到低于按压输入强度阈值,并且响应于检测到相应接触的强度随后减小到低于按压输入阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向上冲程”)来执行相应操作。
在一些实施方案中,设备采用强度滞后以避免有时称为“抖动”的意外输入,其中该设备限定或选择与按压输入强度阈值具有预定义关系的滞后强度阈值(例如,滞后强度阈值比按压输入强度阈值小X个强度单位,或滞后强度阈值是按压输入强度阈值的75%、90%或某些合理的比例)。因此,在一些实施方案中,按压输入包括相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值以及该接触的强度随后减小到低于对应于按压输入强度阈值的滞后强度阈值,并且响应于检测到相应接触的强度随后减小到低于滞后强度阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向上冲程”)来执行相应操作。类似地,在一些实施方案中,仅在设备检测到接触的强度从等于或低于滞后强度阈值的强度增大到等于或高于按压输入强度阈值的强度并且任选地接触的强度随后减小到等于或低于滞后强度的强度时才检测到按压输入,并且响应于检测到按压输入(例如,根据环境,接触的强度增大或接触的强度减小)来执行相应操作。
为了容易解释,任选地,响应于检测到以下各种情况中的任一种情况而触发对响应于与按压输入强度阈值相关联的按压输入或响应于包括按压输入的手势而执行的操作的描述:接触强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值、接触强度从低于滞后强度阈值的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值的强度、接触强度减小到低于按压输入强度阈值、和/或接触强度减小到低于与按压输入强度阈值对应的滞后强度阈值。另外,在将操作描述为响应于检测到接触的强度减小到低于按压输入强度阈值而执行的示例中,任选地响应于检测到接触的强度减小到低于对应于并且小于按压输入强度阈值的滞后强度阈值来执行操作。

图7A示出根据各种示例的数字助理系统700的框图。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可在独立式计算机系统上实现。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可跨多个计算机分布。在一些示例中,数字助理的模块和功能中的一些模块和功能可被划分成服务器部分和客户端部分,其中客户端部分位于一个或多个用户设备(例如,设备104,122,200,400或600)上并通过一个或多个网络来与服务器部分(例如,服务器系统108)进行通信,例如,如图1所示。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可以是图1中所示的服务器系统108(和/或DA服务器106)的具体实施。应当指出的是,数字助理系统700仅为数字助理系统的一个示例,并且该数字助理系统700可具有比所示更多或更少的部件、可组合两个或更多个部件,或者可具有部件的不同配置或布置。图7A中所示的各种部件可在硬件、用于由一个或多个处理器执行的软件指令、固件(包括一个或多个信号处理集成电路和/或专用集成电路)、或它们的组合中实现。
数字助理系统700可包括存储器702、一个或多个处理器704、输入/ 输出(I/O)接口706、以及网络通信接口708。这些部件可通过一个或多个通信总线或信号线710彼此进行通信。
在一些示例中,存储器702可包括非暂态计算机可读介质,诸如高速随机存取存储器和/或非易失性计算机可读存储介质(例如,一个或多个磁盘存储设备、闪存存储器设备、或其他非易失性固态存储器设备)。
在一些示例中,I/O接口706可将数字助理系统700的输入/输出设备 716诸如显示器、键盘、触摸屏和麦克风耦接至用户界面模块722。与用户界面模块722结合的I/O接口706可接收用户输入(例如,声音输入、键盘输入、触摸输入等)并相应地对这些输入进行处理。在一些示例中,例如,当数字助理在独立式用户设备上实现时,数字助理系统700可包括分别相对于图2A、图4、图6A-B中的设备200,400或600所描述的部件和 I/O通信接口中的任一者。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可代表数字助理具体实施的服务器部分,并且可通过位于用户设备(例如,设备 104,200,400或设备600)上的客户端侧部分来与用户进行交互。
在一些示例中,网络通信接口708可包括一个或多个有线通信端口 712、和/或无线传输和接收电路714。一个或多个有线通信端口可经由一个或多个有线接口例如以太网、通用串行总线(USB)、火线等来接收和发送通信信号。无线电路714可从通信网络以及其他通信设备接收RF信号和/或光学信号,并且将RF信号和/或光学信号发送至通信网络以及其他通信设备。无线通信可使用多种通信标准、协议和技术中的任一者,诸如GSM、 EDGE、CDMA、TDMA、蓝牙、Wi-Fi、VoIP、Wi-MAX、或任何其他合适的通信协议。网络通信接口708可使得数字助理系统700通过网络诸如互联网、内联网和/或无线网络(诸如蜂窝电话网络、无线局域网(LAN)和/ 或城域网(MAN))与其他设备之间的通信成为可能。
在一些示例中,存储器702或存储器702的计算机可读存储介质可存储程序、模块、指令和数据结构,包括以下内容中的全部或其子集:操作系统718、通信模块720、用户界面模块722、一个或多个应用程序724、和数字助理模块726。具体地,存储器702或存储器702的计算机可读存储介质可存储用于执行下文描述的方法900的指令。一个或多个处理器704可执行这些程序、模块和指令,并从数据结构读取数据或将数据写到数据结构。
操作系统718(例如,Darwin、RTXC、LINUX、UNIX、OS X、 WINDOWS,或嵌入式操作系统诸如VxWorks)可包括用于控制和管理一般系统任务(例如,存储器管理、存储设备控制、电源管理等)的各种软件部件和/或驱动器,并且促进各种硬件、固件和软件部件之间的通信。
通信模块720可促进数字助理系统700与其他设备之间的通过网络通信接口708进行的通信。例如,通信模块720可与电子设备(诸如,分别在图2A、图4、图6A-B中示出的设备200,400和600)的RF电路208进行通信。通信模块720还可包括用于处理由无线电路714和/或有线通信端口712所接收的数据的各种部件。
用户界面模块722可经由I/O接口706来接收来自用户(例如,来自键盘、触摸屏、指向设备、控制器和/或麦克风)的命令和/或输入,并在显示器上生成用户界面对象。用户界面模块722还可准备输出(例如,语音、声音、动画、文本、图标、振动、触觉反馈、光照等)并将其经由I/O 接口706(例如,通过显示器、音频通道、扬声器、触控板等)递送给用户。
应用程序724可包括被配置为由一个或多个处理器704执行的程序和/ 或模块。例如,如果数字助理系统在独立式用户设备上实现,则应用程序 724可包括用户应用程序,诸如游戏、日历应用程序、导航应用程序、或邮件应用程序。如果数字助理系统700在服务器上实现,则应用程序724可包括例如资源管理应用程序、诊断应用程序、或调度应用程序。
存储器702还可存储数字助理模块726(或数字助理的服务器部分)。在一些示例中,数字助理模块726可包括以下子模块或者其子集或超集:输入/输出处理模块728、语音转文本(STT)处理模块730、自然语言处理模块732、对话流处理模块734、任务流处理模块736、服务处理模块 738、和语音合成模块740。这些模块中的每个模块均可具有对以下数字助理模块726的系统或数据与模型中的一者或多者或者其子集或超集的访问权限:知识本体760、词汇索引744、用户数据748、任务流模型754、服务模型756和ASR系统。
在一些示例中,使用在数字助理模块726中实现的处理模块、数据和模型,数字助理可执行以下中的至少一些:将语音输入转换成文本;识别在从用户接收的自然语言输入中表达的用户意图;主动引出并获得完全推断用户意图所需的信息(例如,通过消除字词、姓名、意图的歧义等);确定用于满足推断出的意图的任务流;以及执行该任务流以满足推断出的意图。
在一些示例中,如图7B中所示,I/O处理模块728可通过图7A中的 I/O设备716与用户进行交互或通过图7A中的网络通信接口708与用户设备(例如,设备104、设备200、设备400或设备600)进行交互,以获取用户输入(例如,语音输入)并提供对用户输入的响应(例如,作为语音输出)。I/O处理模块728随同接收到用户输入一起或在接收到用户输入之后不久可任选地获取与来自用户设备的用户输入相关联的上下文信息。上下文信息可包括特定于用户的数据、词汇,和/或与用户输入相关的偏好。在一些示例中,该上下文信息还包括在接收到用户请求时的用户设备的软件状态和硬件状态,和/或与在接收到用户请求时的用户的周围环境相关的信息。在一些示例中,I/O处理模块728还可将与用户请求有关的跟进问题发送至用户,并从用户接收回答。在用户请求被I/O处理模块728接收并且用户请求可包括语音输入时,I/O处理模块728可将语音输入转发至STT处理模块730(或语音识别器),以用于语音文本转换。
STT处理模块730可包括一个或多个ASR系统。该一个或多个ASR 系统可处理通过I/O处理模块728接收到的语音输入,以产生识别结果。每个ASR系统可包括前端语音预处理器。前端语音预处理器可从语音输入提取代表性特征。例如,前端语音预处理器可对语音输入执行傅里叶变换,以提取表征语音输入的光谱特征作为代表性多维向量的序列。此外,每个 ASR系统可包括一个或多个语音识别模型(例如,声音模型和/或语言模型),并且可实现一个或多个语音识别引擎。语音识别模型的示例可包括隐马尔可夫模型、高斯混合模型、深层神经网络模型、n元语言模型、以及其他统计模型。语音识别引擎的示例可包括基于动态时间规整的引擎和基于加权有限状态换能器(WFST)的引擎。一个或多个语音识别模型和一个或多个语音识别引擎可用于处理前端语音预处理器的所提取的代表性特征,以产生中间识别结果(例如,音素、音素串和子字),并且最终产生文本识别结果(例如,字词、字词串或符号的序列)。在一些示例中,语音输入可至少部分地由第三方服务处理或在用户的设备(例如,设备 104,200,400或600)上处理,以产生识别结果。一旦STT处理模块730产生包含文本串(例如,字词,或字词的序列,或符号的序列)的识别结果,识别结果便可被传送至自然语言处理模块732以用于意图推断。
有关语音转文本处理的更多细节在提交于2011年9月20日的标题为“Consolidating Speech Recognition Results”的美国实用新型专利申请序列号13/236,942中有所描述,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
在一些示例中,STT处理模块730可包括可识别字词的词汇,和/或可经由语音字母转换模块731来访问该词汇。每个词汇字词可与以语音识别语音字母表来表示的字词的一个或多个候选发音相关联。具体地,可识别字词的词汇可包括与多个候选发音相关联的字词。例如,该词汇可包括与
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000492
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000491
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000493
的候选发音相关联的字词“tomato”。此外,词汇字词可与基于来自用户的先前语音输入的自定义候选发音相关联。此类自定义候选发音可被存储在STT处理模块730中,并且可经由设备上的用户配置文件而与特定用户相关联。在一些示例中,字词的候选发音可基于字词的拼写以及一个或多个语言学和/或语音学规则来确定。在一些示例中,候选发音可手动生成,例如基于已知的标准发音而手动生成。
在一些示例中,可基于候选发音的普遍性来对候选发音进行排名。例如,候选语音
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000494
的排名可高于
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000495
因为前者是更常用的发音(例如,在所有用户中,对于特定地理区域的用户而言,或者对于任何其他合适的用户子集而言)。在一些示例中,可基于候选发音是否为与用户相关联的自定义候选发音来对候选发音进行排名。例如,自定义候选发音的排名可高于标准候选发音。这可用于识别具有偏离规范发音的独特发音的专有名词。在一些示例中,候选发音可与一个或多个语音特征(诸如地理起源、国家、或种族)相关联。例如,候选发音
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000496
可能与美国相关联,而候选发音
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000497
可能与英国相关联。此外,候选发音的排名可基于被存储在设备上的用户配置文件中的用户的一个或多个特征 (例如,地理起源、国家、种族等)。例如,可从用户配置文件确定该用户与美国相关联。基于用户与美国相关联,可将候选发音
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000498
(与美国相关联)排得比候选发音
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000499
(与英国相关联)更高。在一些示例中,经排名的候选发音中的一个候选发音可被选作预测发音(例如,最可能的发音)。
当接收到语音输入时,STT处理模块730可用于(例如,使用声音模型)确定对应于该语音输入的音素,并且然后尝试(例如,使用语言模型)确定匹配该音素的字词。例如,如果STT处理模块730可首先识别与该语音输入的一部分对应的音素序列
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000501
则其随后可基于词汇索引 744来确定该序列对应于字词“tomato”。
在一些示例中,STT处理模块730可使用模糊匹配技术来确定话语中的字词。因此,例如,STT处理模块730可确定音素序列
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000502
对应于字词“tomato”,即使该特定音素序列不是该字词的候选音素序列。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可被配置为接收与语音输入相关联的元数据。元数据可指示是否对语音输入(或者对应于该语音输入的字词或符号的序列)执行自然语言处理。如果元数据指示将执行自然语言处理,则自然语言处理模块可从STT处理模块接收字词或符号的序列以执行自然语言处理。然而,如果元数据指示将不执行自然语言处理,则可禁用自然语言处理模块,并且可从数字助理输出来自STT处理模块的字词或符号的序列(例如,文本串)。在一些示例中,元数据可进一步识别对应于用户请求的一个或多个域。基于该一个或多个域,自然语言处理器可禁用知识本体760中该一个或多个域之外的域。这样,自然语言处理被约束为知识本体760中的该一个或多个域。具体地,可使用知识本体中的该一个或多个域而不是其他域来生成结构化查询(下文描述)。
数字助理的自然语言处理模块732(“自然语言处理器”)可获取由 STT处理模块730生成的字词或符号的序列(“符号序列”),并尝试将该符号序列与由数字助理所识别的一个或多个“可执行意图”相关联。“可执行意图”可表示可由数字助理执行并且可具有在任务流模型754中实现的相关联的任务流的任务。相关联任务流可以是数字助理为了执行任务而采取的一系列经编程的动作和步骤。数字助理的能力范围可取决于已在任务流模型754中实施并存储的任务流的数量和种类,或换句话讲,取决于数字助理所识别的“可执行意图”的数量和种类。然而,数字助理的有效性还可取决于助理从以自然语言表达的用户请求中推断出正确的“一个或多个可执行意图”的能力。
在一些示例中,除从STT处理模块730获取的字词或符号的序列之外,自然语言处理模块732还可(例如,从I/O处理模块728)接收与用户请求相关联的上下文信息。自然语言处理模块732可任选地使用上下文信息来明确、补充和/或进一步限定被包含在从STT处理模块730接收的符号序列中的信息。上下文信息可包括例如:用户偏好、用户设备的硬件和/或软件状态、在用户请求之前、期间或之后不久收集的传感器信息、数字助理与用户之间的先前交互(例如,对话)等。如本文所述,上下文信息可以是动态的,并且可随对话的时间、位置、内容以及其他因素而变化。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理可基于例如知识本体760。知识本体760 可以是包含许多节点的分级结构,每个节点表示“可执行意图”或与“可执行意图”或其他“属性”中的一者或多者相关的“属性”。如上所述,“可执行意图”可表示数字助理能够执行的任务,即该任务为“可执行的”或可被进行的。“属性”可表示与可执行意图或另一属性的子方面相关联的参数。知识本体760中的可执行意图节点与属性节点之间的链接可定义由属性节点表示的参数如何与由可执行意图节点表示的任务相关。
在一些示例中,知识本体760可由可执行意图节点和属性节点组成。在知识本体760内,每个可执行意图节点可直接链接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点链接至一个或多个属性节点。类似地,每个属性节点可直接链接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点链接至一个或多个可执行意图节点。例如,如图7C所示,知识本体760可包括“餐厅预订”节点(即,可执行意图节点)。属性节点“餐厅”、“日期/时间”(针对预订)和“同行人数”各自可直接链接至可执行意图节点(即,“餐厅预订”节点)。
此外,属性节点“菜系”、“价格区间”、“电话号码”和“位置”可以是属性节点“餐厅”的子节点,并且各自可通过中间属性节点“餐厅”而被链接至“餐厅预订”节点(即,可执行意图节点)。又如,如图 7C所示,知识本体760还可包括“设定提醒”节点(即,另一可执行意图节点)。属性节点“日期/时间”(针对设定提醒)和“主题”(针对提醒)各自可链接至“设定提醒”节点。由于属性“日期/时间”可与进行餐厅预订的任务和设定提醒的任务两者相关,因此属性节点“日期/时间”可链接至知识本体760中的“餐厅预订”节点和“设定提醒”节点两者。
可执行意图节点连同其链接的概念节点一起可被描述为“域”。在本论述中,每个域可与相应的可执行意图相关联,并涉及与特定可执行意图相关联的一组节点(以及这些节点之间的关系)。例如,图7C中示出的知识本体760可包括知识本体760内的餐厅预订域762的示例以及提醒域764 的示例。餐厅预订域包括可执行意图节点“餐厅预订”、属性节点“餐厅”、“日期/时间”和“同行人数”以及子属性节点“菜系”、“价格范围”、“电话号码”和“位置”。提醒域764可包括可执行意图节点“设置提醒”以及属性节点“主题”和“日期/时间”。在一些示例中,知识本体760可由多个域组成。每个域可与一个或多个其他域共享一个或多个属性节点。例如,除了餐厅预订域762和提醒域764之外,“日期/时间”属性节点还可与许多不同域(例如,行程安排域、旅行预订域、电影票域等)相关联。
尽管图7C示出了知识本体760内的两个示例域,但其他域可包括例如“查找电影”、“发起电话呼叫”、“查找方向”、“安排会议”、“发送消息”以及“提供问题的回答”、“阅读列表”、“提供导航指令”、“提供针对任务的指令”等。“发送消息”域可与“发送消息”可执行意图节点相关联,并且还可包括属性节点诸如“一个或多个接收人”、“消息类型”和“消息正文”。属性节点“接收人”可进一步例如由子属性节点诸如“接收人名称”和“消息地址”来限定。
在一些示例中,知识本体760可包括数字助理能够理解并对其起作用的所有域(以及因此可执行的意图)。在一些示例中,知识本体760可诸如通过添加或移除整个域或节点,或者通过修改知识本体760内的节点之间的关系来进行修改。
在一些示例中,可将与多个相关可执行意图相关联的节点群集在知识本体760中的“超级域”下。例如,“旅行”超级域可包括与旅行有关的属性节点和可执行意图节点的群集。与旅行有关的可执行意图节点可包括“航班预订”、“酒店预订”、“汽车租赁”、“路线规划”、“寻找兴趣点”,等等。同一超级域(例如,“旅行”超级域)下的可执行意图节点可具有多个共用的属性节点。例如,针对“机票预订”、“酒店预订”、“汽车租赁”、“路线规划”和“寻找兴趣点”的可执行意图节点可共享属性节点“起始位置”、“目的地”、“出发日期/时间”、“到达日期/时间”和“同行人数”中的一者或多者。
在一些示例中,知识本体760中的每个节点可与和由节点代表的属性或可执行意图有关的一组字词和/或短语相关联。与每个节点相关联的相应组的字词和/或短语可是所谓的与节点相关联的“词汇”。可将与每个节点相关联的相应组的字词和/或短语存储在与由节点所表示的属性或可执行意图相关联的词汇索引744中。例如,返回图7B,与“餐厅”属性的节点相关联的词汇可包括字词诸如“美食”、“酒水”、“菜系”、“饥饿”、“吃”、“披萨”、“快餐”、“膳食”等。又如,与“发起电话呼叫”可执行意图的节点相关联的词汇可包括字词和短语,诸如“呼叫”、“打电话”、“拨打”、“与……通电话”、“呼叫该号码”、“打电话给”等。词汇索引744可任选地包括不同语言的字词和短语。
自然语言处理模块732可从STT处理模块730接收符号序列(例如,文本串),并确定符号序列中的字词牵涉哪些节点。在一些示例中,如果发现符号序列中的字词或短语(经由词汇索引744)与知识本体760中的一个或多个节点相关联,则该字词或短语可“触发”或“激活”这些节点。基于已激活节点的数量和/或相对重要性,自然语言处理模块732可选择可执行意图中的一个可执行意图作为用户意图使数字助理执行的任务。在一些示例中,可选择具有最多“已触发”节点的域。在一些示例中,可选择具有最高置信度(例如,基于其各个已触发节点的相对重要性)的域。在一些示例中,可基于已触发节点的数量和重要性的组合来选择域。在一些示例中,在选择节点的过程中还考虑附加因素,诸如数字助理先前是否已正确解译来自用户的类似请求。
用户数据748可包括特定于用户的信息,诸如特定于用户的词汇、用户偏好、用户地址、用户的默认语言和第二语言、用户的联系人列表、以及每位用户的其他短期或长期信息。自然语言处理模块732可使用特定于用户的信息来补充用户输入中所包含的信息,以进一步限定用户意图。例如,对于用户请求“邀请我的朋友参加我的生日聚会”,自然语言处理模块732可以能够访问用户数据748以确定“朋友”有哪些以及“生日聚会”会在何时何地进行,而不是要求用户通过例如使用来自用户联系人列表的“朋友”列表、定位用户日历或用户电子邮件中“生日聚会”的日历条目并且然后将该信息发送给联系人列表中为每个联系人列出的相应联系人信息来在其请求中明确地提供此类信息。
基于符号串搜索知识本体的其他细节在于2008年12月22日提交的标题为“Methodand Apparatus for Searching Using An Active Ontology”的美国实用新型专利申请序列号12/341,743中有所描述,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
在一些示例中,一旦自然语言处理模块732基于用户请求而识别出可执行意图(或域),自然语言处理模块732便可生成结构化查询,以表示所识别的可执行意图。在一些示例中,结构化查询可包括针对可执行意图的域内的一个或多个节点的参数,并且该参数中的至少一些参数填充有在用户请求中指定的特定信息和要求。例如,用户可以说“帮我在寿司店预订晚上7点的座位。”在这种情况下,自然语言处理模块732可能够基于用户输入将可执行意图正确地识别为“餐厅预订”。根据知识本体,“餐厅预订”域的结构化查询可包括参数诸如{菜系}、{时间}、{日期}、{同行人数}等。在一些示例中,基于语音输入和使用STT处理模块730从语音输入得出的文本,自然语言处理模块732可针对餐厅预订域生成部分结构化查询,其中部分结构化查询包括参数{菜系=“寿司类”}以及{时间=“晚上 7点”}。然而,在该示例中,用户话语包含不足以完成与域相关联的结构化查询的信息。因此,基于当前可用的信息,在结构化查询中可能未指定其他必要的参数,诸如{同行人数}和{日期}。在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可利用所接收的上下文信息来填充结构化查询的一些参数。例如,在一些示例中,如果请求“附近的”寿司店,自然语言处理模块732 可利用来自用户设备的GPS坐标来填充结构化查询中的{位置}参数。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可将所生成的结构化查询(包括任何已完成的参数)传送至任务流处理模块736(“任务流处理器”)。任务流处理模块736可被配置为接收来自自然语言处理模块732的结构化查询,(必要时)完成结构化查询,并且执行“完成”用户最终请求所需的动作。在一些示例中,完成这些任务所必需的各种过程可在任务流模型754中提供。在一些示例中,任务流模型754可包括用于获取来自用户的附加信息的过程,以及用于执行与可执行意图相关联的动作的任务流。
如上所述,为了完成结构化查询,任务流处理模块736可能需要发起与用户的附加对话,以便获得附加信息和/或弄清可能有歧义的话语。当有必要进行此类交互时,任务流处理模块736可调用对话流处理模块734以参与同用户的对话。在一些示例中,对话流处理模块734可确定如何(和/ 或何时)向用户请求附加信息,并且接收和处理用户响应。该问题可通过 I/O处理模块728而被提供至用户并可从用户接收回答。在一些示例中,对话处理模块734可经由音频和/或视觉输出来向用户呈现对话输出,并接收经由口头或物理(例如,点击)响应的来自用户的输入。继续上述示例,当任务流处理模块736调用对话流处理模块734来确定针对与域“餐厅预订”相关联的结构化查询的“同行人数”和“日期”信息时,对话流处理模块734可生成问题诸如“一行几位?”和“预订哪天?”以传递给用户。一旦从用户接收到回答,对话流处理模块734便可利用缺失信息填充结构化查询,或将信息传递给任务流处理模块736以根据结构化查询来完成缺失信息。
一旦任务流处理模块736已针对可执行意图完成结构化查询,任务流处理模块736便可着手执行与可执行意图相关联的最终任务。因此,任务流处理模块736可根据包含在结构化查询中的特定参数来执行任务流模型中的步骤和指令。例如,针对可执行意图“餐厅预订”的任务流模型可包括用于联系餐厅并在特定时间实际上请求针对特定同行人数的预订的步骤和指令。例如,使用结构化查询诸如:{餐厅预订、餐厅=ABC咖啡馆、日期=3/12/2012、时间=7pm、同行人数=5},任务流处理模块736可执行以下步骤:(1)登录ABC咖啡馆的服务器或餐厅预订系统诸如
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000551
(2)在网站上的表格中输入日期、时间和同行人数信息,(3) 提交表格,以及(4)在用户的日历中形成针对预订的日历条目。
在一些示例中,任务流处理模块736可在服务处理模块738(“服务处理模块”)的辅助下完成用户输入中所请求的任务或者提供用户输入中所请求的信息性回答。例如,服务处理模块738可代表任务流处理模块736 来发起电话呼叫、设置日历条目、调用地图搜索、调用用户设备上安装的其他用户应用程序或与该其他应用程序进行交互、以及调用第三方服务 (例如,餐厅预订门户网站、社交网站、银行门户网站等)、或与第三方服务进行交互。在一些示例中,可通过服务模型756中的相应服务模型来指定每项服务所需的协议和应用编程接口(API)。服务处理模块738可针对服务来访问适当的服务模型,并依据服务模型根据该服务所需的协议和 API来生成针对该服务的请求。
例如,如果餐厅已启用在线预订服务,则餐厅可提交服务模型,该服务模型指定进行预订的必要参数以及将必要参数的值传送至在线预订服务的API。在被任务流处理模块736请求时,服务处理模块738可使用被存储在服务模型中的web地址来建立与在线预订服务的网络连接,并将预订的必要参数(例如,时间、日期、同行人数)以符合在线预订服务的API的格式发送至在线预订接口。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732、对话处理模块734以及任务流处理模块736可被共同且反复地使用,以推断并限定用户的意图、获得信息,以进一步明确并细化用户意图并最终生成响应(即,输出至用户或完成任务)以满足用户的意图。所生成的响应可以是对语音输入的至少部分地满足用户的意图的对话响应。此外,在一些示例中,所生成的响应可被输出为语音输出。在这些示例中,所生成的响应可被发送到语音合成模块740(例如,语音合成器),在语音合成模块中,可处理所生成的响应以将对话响应以语音形式合成。在其他示例中,所生成的响应可以是与满足语音输入中的用户请求相关的数据内容。
语音合成模块740可被配置为合成语音输出以呈现给用户。语音合成模块740基于数字助理提供的文本来合成语音输出。例如,所生成的对话响应可为文本串的形式。语音合成模块740可将文本串转换成可听语音输出。语音合成模块740可使用任何合适的语音合成技术,以便从文本生成语音输出,包括但不限于:拼接合成、单位选择合成、双音素合成、特定于域的合成、共振峰合成、发音合成、基于隐马尔可夫模型(HMM)的合成、以及正弦波合成。在一些示例中,语音合成模块740可被配置为基于与这些字词对应的音素串来合成各个字词。例如,音素串可与所生成的对话响应中的字词相关联。音素串可被存储在与字词相关联的元数据中。语音合成模型740可被配置为直接处理元数据中的音素串,以合成语音形式的字词。
在一些示例中,替代使用语音合成模块740(或除此之外),可在远程设备(例如,服务器系统108)上执行语音合成,并且可将合成的语音发送至用户设备以输出给用户。例如,这可发生在一些具体实施中,其中在服务器系统处生成数字助理的输出。并且由于服务器系统通常比用户设备具有更强的处理能力或更多的资源,有可能获得比客户端侧合成将实现的质量更高的语音输出。
有关数字助理的附加细节可在于2011年1月10日提交的标题为“IntelligentAutomated Assistant”的美国实用新型专利申请号12/987,982和于2011年9月30日提交的标题为“Generating and Processing Task Items That Represent Tasks to Perform”的美国实用新型专利申请号13/251,088中找到,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
现在将注意力转到在电子设备(诸如用户设备104、便携式多功能设备200、多功能设备400或个人电子设备600(统称为“电子设备104、 200、400、600”))上实现的用户界面(“UI”)以及相关联的过程的实施方案。本文档中对任何一个特定的电子设备104、200、400、600的引用应被理解为涵盖所有这些电子设备104、200、400、600,除非这些电子设备104、200、400、600中的一个或多个被文字字面含义排除在外。
参考图8A,根据一些实施方案,电子设备200包括显示器212和麦克风213。上述数字助理被进行针对来自虚拟助理的服务的请求的用户访问。在图8A的示例中,用户发出非结构化自然语言用户输入,所述非结构化自然语言用户输入经由麦克风213被获取。用户请求的定时受用户控制。在该示例中,用户输入770是“在附近寻找好的寿司餐厅”的非结构化自然语言请求。将用户输入从语音转换为文本,并且根据一些实施方案,将文本用户输入770显示在显示器212上。通过显示文本用户输入770,根据一些实施方案,用户可验证数字助理已正确接收到所做出的请求。在其他实施方案诸如但不限于其中数字助理能在免持模式下操作的实施方案中,不显示文本用户输入770。根据一些实施方案,图8A的电子设备200是智能电话、平板电脑、膝上型计算机、或其他便携式设备。根据其他实施方案,图8A的电子设备200是台式计算机;连接到电视机的设备诸如Apple, Inc.(Cupertino,California)的Apple

数字媒体扩展器;或一般保持在一个位置的其他便携性较低的设备。
也参见图8E,在接收到针对来自虚拟助理700的服务的用户请求时,位于电子设备200上的DA客户端102确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务。在一些实施方案中,不止一个任务被执行,以便满足用户请求。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是语境解析,其形成与用户和/或电子设备200相关联的语境。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是语音识别。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是自动语音识别。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是域分类。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是自然语言分析。“分析”是指确定语句的语法结构。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是查询解析,这是指确定用户查询的内容。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是自然语言合成。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是用户接口解析,这是指确定用户相对于用户接口已进行了什么动作。根据一些实施方案,响应于用户请求执行的一个任务是文本-语音转换。这些任务中的每一者前面在本文档中进行了描述。当位于电子设备200上的DA客户端102确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务时,其除了上面明确列出的那些之外可确定一个或多个任务。
在该示例中,DA客户端102确定语音识别是响应于用户请求要执行的至少一个任务。然后,DA客户端102基于至少一个启发来估计以电子设备 200完成该语音识别任务的至少一个性能特征。根据一些实施方案,性能特征包括任务执行的速度、任务执行的相对效率、和任务执行的功率消耗。根据其他实施方案,性能特征包括与任务的执行有关的任何其他性能度量。通过估计以电子设备完成任务的至少一个性能特征,DA客户端102能够确定任务是应当在电子设备200自身处执行,还是传输到电子设备200 之外在其他地方执行,诸如在DA服务器106处执行。
可使用多个启发来确定任务应在电子设备200上完成,还是在服务器上完成,还是部分地在设备200上并且部分地在服务器上完成。如一个普通技术人员将理解的那样,可单独或组合地使用这些启发中每一者来确定任务应在电子设备200上完成,还是在服务器上完成,还是部分地在设备 200上并且部分地在服务器上完成。启发在评估中可被相等地加权,或者可基于其对于任务完成速度的贡献来加权。另外,权重本身可随着计算条件改变而变化,例如电池电力在电力低或者设备200未插接到电源的情况下在将计算转移到服务器中被更强地加权,但在设备200插接到电源或者电池电量高于预定阈值的情况下可较弱地加权。例如,如果网络连接性低或不可用,则启发可更强地朝着在设备200上完成任务加权而不考虑其他启发(因为不可能在服务器上完成任务,不管是部分地还是完全地),而如果网络连接性高,则启发可被不同地加权以考虑其他因素诸如电池电力、存储器空间、缓存大小等等。
如果电子设备200包括电池(例如,作为电力系统262的一部分),则一个启发是电子设备200的电池寿命。如果电池寿命较高,则与电池寿命较低相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是功率消耗。
一个启发是电子设备200处符合IEEE 802.11x标准(通常称为“

一个启发是可供电子设备200使用的无线网络速度。根据一些实施方案,无线网络是蜂窝网络,蜂窝网络上的无线网络速度是1X、2G、3G、 4G、和

服务的最高速度的接入。如果较高无线网络速度在电子设备200处不可用,则与较高无线网络速度在电子设备200处可用时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和功率消耗。
一个启发是电子设备200的(诸如在存储器202内的)可用存储器空间。如果较多存储器在电子设备200上本地可供使用,则与较少存储器在电子设备200处可供使用时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和相对效率。
一个启发是电子设备200(诸如以处理器220)的处理速度。如果较高处理速度在电子设备200上本地可供使用,则与较低处理速度在电子设备 200上本地可供使用时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和功率消耗。
一个启发是电子设备200的操作系统。不同操作系统对于负荷转移可具有不同速度、效率和能力。不同操作系统可包括同一操作系统的不同版本,诸如Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的

操作系统的较旧版本比较不能从电子设备 200转移计算负荷。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和相对效率。
一个启发是电子设备200处的可用缓存空间。术语“缓存存储器”在本领域中是标准术语,是指相比于常规存储器(诸如存储器202),处理器 (诸如处理器220)能更快速地访问的存储器。可用缓存存储器的量是可用的物理缓存存储器空间的绝对量与在任何指定时刻被占用的缓存存储器的量二者的函数。如果较多缓存存储器在电子设备200处可供使用,则与较少缓存存储器在电子设备200上本地可供使用时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。
一个启发是电子设备200的类型。电子设备200的“类型”是指电子设备200所属于的具体硬件类别,诸如但不限于智能电话(例如Apple,Inc. (Cupertino,California)的
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000606

腕式可穿戴设备)、或其他设备。根据一些实施方案,某些类型的电子设备200 与其他类型的电子设备200相比更能够从电子设备200转移计算负荷,所述其他类型的电子设备200比较不能从电子设备200转移计算负荷。根据一些实施方案,某些类型的电子设备200与其他类型的电子设备200相比具有更大的能力来处理计算负荷。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和相对效率。
一个启发包括与任务相关联的一个或多个隐私设置。根据一些实施方案,用户能调节与任务相关联的一个或多个隐私设置,从而限制电子设备200传输用户信息的能力。根据一些实施方案,如果隐私设置限制或阻止电子设备200向外传输执行任务所必需的用户信息,则电子设备200根据隐私设置而自己执行任务。
一个启发包括与任务相关联的一个或多个数据传输限制。在一些实施方案中,限制是与跟任务相关联的特定用户数据相关联的。在一些实施方案中,如果电子设备200所位于的具体管辖区域中的法律阻止特定用户数据离开那个管辖区域,则这些限制本质上是合法的。在其他实施方案中,这些限制是电子设备200访问外部网络所通过的网络提供方的政策限制,其阻止特定数据的传输。在其他实施方案中,这些限制是由于技术原因而阻止特定数据的传输的技术限制。根据一些实施方案,如果数据传输限制与任务相关联,则电子设备200根据那些数据传输限制而自己执行任务。
一个启发包括电子设备200的位置。电子设备200的位置可被用作特定网络特征的代用物、被用作数据传输限制的代用物、或者自身作为被DA 客户端102用于估计性能特征的信息。如果电子设备200在数据传输服务时好时坏、缓慢或以其他方式较不理想的位置中,则与电子设备200在数据传输服务更理想的位置中时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度、相对效率和功率消耗。
一个启发包括所述至少一个任务的特征。“特征”是指任务的种类以及其需要(或不需要)访问电子设备200上的用户数据。根据这个示例,语音识别是较不可能需要访问电子设备200上的用户数据的任务。在其他示例中,如果任务需要访问存储在电子设备200上本地的用户的联系人,则任务会需要访问电子设备200上的用户数据。如果为了执行任务,电子设备200需要或比较可能需要访问电子设备200上的用户数据,则与为了执行任务,电子设备200不需要或比较不可能需要访问电子设备200上的用户数据相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和相对效率。
一个启发包括与任务相关联的用户偏好。用户可选择与任务相关联的强调或取消强调速度、准确性、或其他因素(其中每一者可能彼此竞争) 的一个或多个选项。如果在任务被本地执行时更好地满足任务的用户偏好,则与在任务被远程执行时更好地满足任务的用户偏好时相比,电子设备200更能够执行任务。
一个启发包括任务对严谨提示的利用。如本文档中所使用,对于任务,术语“严谨提示”是指任务发出的提示,对于该提示,只有有限数量的用户话语能被接受。例如,在一些实施方案中,虚拟助理700通过向用户询问问题诸如“您是说在附近寻找好的寿司场所吗?”来消除歧义。作为响应的唯一可接受的用户话语是“是”或“不是”。任何其他话语都被忽略,或作为“是”或“不是”来对待。如果任务利用严谨提示,则与任务不利用严谨提示用于用户交互时相比,较少计算功率被用于处理用户话语,并且电子设备200更能执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征是速度和相对效率。
在该示例中,DA客户端102基于至少一个启发诸如上文所述的启发,估计以电子设备200完成语音识别的速度的性能特征。DA客户端102于是确定是否在电子设备200处执行任务。根据一些实施方案,一个启发可以是决定性的。例如,如果隐私设置和/或数据传输限制阻止从电子设备200 传输执行语音识别所必需的用户数据或其他信息,则这个语音识别的任务在电子设备200处执行,以便遵守隐私设置和/或数据传输限制。根据其他实施方案,DA客户端基于两个或更多个启发,基于估计完成语音识别的至少一个性能特征,确定是否在电子设备200处执行语音识别任务。如果使用不止一个启发,则这些启发的结果被平均、加权、或以任何合适的方式处理,以执行所述确定。例如,为每个启发分配分别与任务是应由电子设备200执行还是应传输到电子设备之外进行执行相关联的二元1或0值。如果这些值加和为高于阈值的量,则任务在电子设备200处执行。又如,每个启发将一个数值要么分配给电子设备200要么分配给将任务传输到电子设备200之外,并且将每一者的这些数值进行加和;如果与电子设备200 相关联的加和更高,则电子设备200执行任务,而如果与将任务传输到电子设备200之外相关联的加和更高,则任务被传输到电子设备200之外。又如,一个或多个启发比其他启发更高地加权,其中此类启发更强地影响对任务执行位置的选择。又如,为在估计中使用的每个启发分配数字,并且所述确定对这个数字求平均。所述平均可被加权或不加权。平均数字与任务执行的位置相关联。
在本示例中,要执行的任务(语音识别)的特征包括计算强度,朝着在电子设备200之外执行任务缓解。此外,设备是平板电脑,并且是较老型号,计算功率较低。符合IEEE802.11x的高频无线联网服务在电子设备 200处可供使用。因此,DA客户端102基于对启发执行的估计而确定语音识别的任务在电子设备200之外执行。根据所述确定,电子设备生成用于执行那个语音识别任务的可执行代码,然后从电子设备200传输该代码。响应于那个传输,则后来某个时间,与那个可执行代码的执行相关联的信息在电子设备200处被接收。根据一些实施方案,电子设备200针对一个或多个附加任务重复上文所述的那些步骤,其中对于是在电子设备200上执行还是在电子设备200之外执行,每个此类任务被独立地评估。根据其他实施方案,一旦已确定利用电子设备200来执行与用户请求相关联的一个任务,电子设备200就执行与用户请求相关联的所有任务,使得在电子设备200处接收的与可执行代码的执行相关联的信息是满足用户请求的信息。根据一些实施方案,当用户请求被满足时,电子设备200在显示器212 上显示输出772。在这里,如果用户已请求虚拟助理700“在附近寻找好的寿司餐厅”,则如图8D所示,电子设备200显示满足用户请求的Sushi Shed的名称、评级、距离、和地址。
又如,参考图8C,根据一些实施方案,电子设备200包括显示器212 和麦克风213。上述数字助理被进行针对来自虚拟助理的服务的请求的用户访问。在图8C的示例中,用户发出非结构化自然语言用户输入,所述非结构化自然语言用户输入经由麦克风213被获取。用户请求的定时受用户控制。在该示例中,用户输入770是非结构化自然语言请求“将我女儿的这张照片通过电子邮件发给妈妈,并写上‘Merry Christmas!’”。将用户输入从语音转换为文本,并且根据一些实施方案,将文本用户输入770显示在显示器212上。通过显示文本用户输入770,根据一些实施方案,用户可验证数字助理已正确接收到所做出的请求。在其他实施方案诸如但不限于其中数字助理能在免持模式下操作的实施方案中,不显示文本用户输入 770。根据一些实施方案,图8A的电子设备200是智能电话、平板电脑、膝上型计算机、或其他便携式设备。根据其他实施方案,图8A的电子设备 200是台式计算机;连接到电视机的设备诸如Apple,Inc.(Cupertino, California)的Apple

数字媒体扩展器;或一般保持在一个位置的其他便携性较低的设备。
DA客户端102进行与上述类似的过程,确定至少一个任务要执行,基于至少一个启发来估计以电子设备200完成所述至少一个任务的至少一个性能特征,以及基于所述估计,确定是否在电子设备200处执行至少一个任务。在该示例中,任务是查询解析。为了解析该查询,虚拟助理700除了别的之外,需要确定“我女儿”和“妈妈”是指什么人,并且确定妈妈的电子邮件地址。
在本示例中,要执行的任务(查询解析)的特征要求虚拟助理700利用电子设备200上的个人数据778。“个人数据”是指由于标准协议和/或对于与该数据有关的隐私设置的用户选择而被保持在设备上而不是保持在服务器上的能个人标识的数据。特别地,虚拟助理700需要在电子设备200 上的个人数据778中进行搜索以确定“我女儿”和“妈妈”的身份。根据一些实施方案,此类个人数据778包括联系人信息、照片标签、电子邮件消息、文本消息、以及其它只被存储在电子设备200上的数据。虚拟助理 700还需要搜索存储在电子设备200上的个人数据778中的联系人以确定“妈妈”的电子邮件地址。因为这个数据只在电话上存在,所以这些启发中的一个包括与查询解析任务相关联的隐私设置。在一些实施方案中,用户已将隐私设置设置成阻止联系人信息和照片标签信息被传输到电子设备之外。如果这样,则因为那些动作中的一者或两者与任务相关联,所以DA 客户端102利用隐私设置启发而确定在电子设备200上执行任务。这些启发中的另一个包括与查询解析任务相关联的数据传输限制。在一些实施方案中,用户可能在一个国家内,而DA服务器106可能在另一国家内。例如,用户可能旅游离开其祖国。用户所位于的国家可能禁止将个人用户数据传输到那个国家之外。如果这样,则因为一个或多个被禁止动作与任务相关联,所以DA客户端102利用数据传输启发而确定在电子设备200上执行任务。
在该示例的一个变型形式中,假设隐私设置和数据传输限制都不阻止 DA客户端102将信息传输到电子设备200之外。然而,电子设备200位于国家公园中,远离可靠的网络服务,唯一可供使用的网络是1X速度网络。没有任何符合IEEE 802.11x的高频无线联网服务可供使用。而且,电子设备200是具有快速处理速度的较新智能电话。基于这些启发,DA客户端 102确定在电子设备自身处执行语音识别任务。在该示例的每种变型形式中,任务在电子设备上执行。
根据一些实施方案,电子设备200针对一个或多个附加任务重复上文所述的那些步骤,其中对于是在电子设备200上执行还是在电子设备200 之外执行,每个此类任务被独立地评估。根据其它实施方案,一旦已确定利用电子设备200执行与用户请求相关联的一个任务,电子设备200就执行与用户请求相关联的所有任务。根据一些实施方案,当用户请求被满足时,电子设备200在显示器212上显示输出772。在这里,如图8D所示,电子设备200显示消息“我刚将其发送给您妈妈的默认电子邮件地址”。
图9A-9H是根据各种实施方案例示用于操作数字助理的方法900、 940、980的流程图。更具体地,方法900、940、980可被实现为执行以虚拟助理进行的任务执行。可使用实施数字助理的一个或多个电子设备来执行方法900、940、980。在一些示例中,方法900、940、980可使用实施数字助理的客户端-服务器系统(例如,系统100)执行。方法900、940、 980的各个框可以以任何合适的方式分布于一个或多个计算机、系统或电子设备中。例如,如下所述,在一些示例中,方法900、940、980可完全在电子设备(例如,设备104、200、400或600)上执行。例如,在若干个示例中利用的电子设备104、200、400、600是智能电话。然而,方法900、940、980并不限于与智能电话一起使用;方法900、940、980可在任何其他合适的电子设备(诸如平板电脑、台式计算机、膝上型计算机或智能手表)上实现。此外,虽然以下讨论将方法900、940、980描述为由数字助理系统(例如,系统100和/或数字助理系统700)执行,但是应当认识到,该过程或过程的任何特定部分不限于由任何特定设备、设备的组合或具体实施来执行。该过程的描述由图8A至图8E、以及上文与这些附图有关的描述来进一步示出和例证。
图9A-9B是例示一种用于执行与虚拟助理的任务的方法的流程图900。根据一些实施方案,方法900在包括DA客户端102的电子设备 104、200、400、600处执行。根据一些实施方案,DA客户端102是包括 DA服务器106的系统100的一部分。然而,方法900描述在电子设备 104、200、400、600处的客户端侧操作。方法900中的一些操作可被组合,一些操作的次序可被改变并且一些操作可被省略。特别地,如果有的话,图9A至图9B中以虚线形状指示的可选操作可以以任何合适的顺序执行,并且不需要按照图9A至图9B所示的顺序执行。
如下所述,方法900提供了用于执行与虚拟助理的任务的直观方式。该方法减少用户对于执行使用数字助理的任务的认知负担,并改善用户对于数字助理性能的满意度,由此生成更有效的人机接口。对于电池驱动的计算设备,使得能够更准确且更高效地实现与数字助理的任务的改善执行就节省电力并增长了电池充电之间的时间间隔。
在方法900开始时,数字助理接收902针对来自虚拟助理的服务的用户输入。在一些实施方案中,用户输入包括包含一个或多个字词的非结构化自然语言语音。在电子设备104、200、400、600包括麦克风213或者与麦克风213相关联的情况下,可通过麦克风213接收该用户输入。用户输入也可称为音频输入或音频流。在一些实施方案中,音频流可作为原始声波,作为音频文件或以代表性的音频信号(模拟或数字)的形式被接收。在其他实施方案中,可在远程系统(诸如数字助理的服务器部件)处接收音频流。音频流可包括用户语音,诸如语音用户请求。在其它实施方案中,以文本形式而非语音来接收用户输入。在其它实施方案中,用户输入是通过触敏显示器系统212作为轻击、触摸、或其它手势而被接收。
根据一些实施方案,电子设备104、200、400、600处的DA客户端 102确定904响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,任务包括语境解析、语音识别、自动语音识别、域分类、自然语言分析、查询解析、自然语言合成、用户接口解析、和文本-语音转换中的一者或多者。
根据一些实施方案,在确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务之后, DA客户端102基于至少一个启发来估计906以电子设备104、200、400、 600完成所述至少一个任务的至少一个性能特征。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,性能特征是任务执行的速度、任务执行的相对效率、任务执行的功率消耗、和/或其它有关性能度量中的一者或多者。根据一些实施方案,多个启发如上文参考图8A-8E所列出和描述。
根据一些实施方案,要么在框906后面立即,要么在框906后面的一个后续时间,DA客户端102重复框904,如从框906到框904的虚线所示。这样,对于两个或更多个分立的任务,DA客户端102分别基于至少一个启发来估计以电子设备104、200、400、600完成每个任务的至少一个性能特征。
数字助理基于框906的估计来确定908是否在电子设备104、200、 400、600处执行所述至少一个任务。数字助理以任何合适的方式做出这个确定。如上所述,根据一些实施方案,一个启发(诸如隐私设置或数据传输限制)可以是决定性的。根据其他实施方案,DA客户端基于两个或更多个启发,基于估计完成语音识别的至少一个性能特征,确定是否在电子设备200处执行语音识别任务。如果使用不止一个启发,则这些启发的结果被平均、加权、或以任何合适的方式处理,以执行所述确定。基于框906 的估计的确定908的示例在上文中针对图8A-8E被提供。
根据确定在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务,DA 客户端102导致910在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务。在一些实施方案中,所述执行是在处理器220处进行。在其它实施方案中,所述执行是在电子设备104、200、400、600处的任何合适的硬件元件处进行。在一些实施方案中,在框910中,DA客户端102生成、或者使电子设备104、200、400、600的另一部件生成在电子设备104、200、 400、600处执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码是以JavaScript语言编写的,但可使用任何其它合适的语言。可执行代码是基于要执行的具体任务而生成的。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码包括确定任务执行所必需的所有信息是否可供虚拟助理使用、获取或导致获取任务执行所必需的任何遗漏信息、和执行任务的代码。
任选地,框910的导致执行是使用电子设备104、200、400、600上的个人数据778来执行912,其中个人数据778被保持在电子设备104、 200、400、600上。如上文针对图8A-8E所述,隐私设置、数据传输限制、和/或其它隐私相关和数据保护启发可导致在框908中确定导致在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务。这样,个人数据778被保持在电子设备104、200、400、600上,不被传输到设备之外,甚至不被传输给虚拟助理的DA服务器106部件。此类个人数据778因此不容易在前往 DA服务器106或电子设备104、200、400、600之外的其它位置的途中被拦截,并且通过将个人数据778保持在电子设备104、200、400、600上,此类数据不容易受到可能侵入服务器或远离电子设备104、200、400、600 的其它设备的黑客的攻击。
根据一些实施方案,框910的导致执行是通过将可执行代码存储914 在电子设备104、200、400、600处并导致916所存储的可执行代码在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行来进行。与上文所述的“在运行中”生成可执行代码相比,将与任务执行相关联的可执行代码存储在电子设备104、 200、400、600处消耗更多存储器空间。然而,在一些实施方案中,与生成可执行代码并在框910中导致其执行相比,定位并执行所存储的可执行代码更快。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在导致910在电子设备104、200、 400、600处执行至少一个任务之后,DA客户端102或电子设备104、 200、400、600的其它部件从电子设备104、200、400、600传输918框 910中导致执行的结果。在一些实施方案中,框910中导致执行的结果被传输给DA服务器106,用于进一步处理,和/或用于用作对在DA服务器106 处执行的过程的输入。在其它实施方案中,框910中导致执行的结果在框 918中被传输,以便满足用户请求。此类传输包括但不限于发送电子邮件 (如上文参考图8C-8D所述)、消息或其它通信。
返回到框908,根据一些实施方案,根据确定在电子设备104、200、 400、600之外执行至少一个任务,DA客户端102生成920用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。所述生成920是以与上文针对在框910的一些实施方案中生成可执行代码所述基本上相同的方式来执行。在一些实施方案中,可执行代码被配置为通过命令的文本表示来与虚拟助理700的另一部分对接,而不是直接访问虚拟助理的原语。那些文本命令与虚拟助理700 的API交互。这样,DA客户端102生成的代码产生低的可管理的安全性风险,并且恶意软件感染的路径被关闭。根据其它实施方案,电子设备104、 200、400、600的另一部件代替DA客户端102或者与DA客户端102协调而生成用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。
在生成可执行代码之后,可执行代码从电子设备104、200、400、600 被传输922。根据一些实施方案,DA客户端102引发所述传输。根据其它实施方案,电子设备104、200、400、600的另一部件代替DA客户端102 或者与DA客户端102协调而从电子设备104、200、400、600传输用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。在一些实施方案中,任选地,可执行代码被从电子设备104、200、400、600传输924给DA服务器106,其中虚拟助理700在电子设备104、200、400、600与远程服务器之间划分。如上文参考图8A-8E和例示那些附图的示例所述,基于一个或多个启发,在服务器处(诸如通过执行从电子设备104、200、400、600传输给服务器的可执行代码)执行任务并将该任务的结果返回给电子设备104、200、400、 600可得到比在电子设备104、200、400、600自身上执行代码更好的性能特征。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,可执行代码从电子设备104、200、 400、600传输给第二电子设备,而不是传输给DA服务器。例如,可执行代码可从手表诸如Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的Apple

腕式可穿戴设备传输给智能电话诸如Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000692
移动数字设备。这样,计算任务可通过本地网络从手表卸载到计算能力更强的设备,而无需通过更长的网络访问距离更远的服务器。在一些实施方案中,电子设备104、200、400、600通过本地网络诸如
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000693
网络或符合IEEE802.11x的高频无线联网服务连接到第二电子设备。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在将可执行代码传输926给第二电子设备之后,方法在第二电子设备处满足928用户请求。例如,电子设备104、 200、400、600是Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的

数字媒体扩展器,该数字媒体扩展器作为响应而响应于用户请求播放电影以满足用户请求。这样,电子设备104、200、400、600可利用电子设备104、200、 400、600所连接到的多种其它设备以便改善计算性能,以及利用各种其它设备来以最有效的方式满足用户请求。例如,用户可能已经从

移动数字设备请求回放电影,但可能与连接到Apple

数字媒体扩展器的大电视机位于同一房间中。电子设备104、200、400、600(这里是

移动数字设备)在一些实施方案中确定第二电子设备(这里是Apple
Figure RE-GDA00031130243800006911
数字媒体扩展器)将为用户提供更好的体验,因此使用框928来在第二电子设备处满足用户请求。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在从电子设备104、200、400、600传输 960可执行代码之后,DA客户端102接收与可执行代码的执行相关联的信息。这样,远离电子设备104、200、400、600执行的任务将该任务执行的结果返回给电子设备104、200、400、600。
根据一些实施方案,图10A示出了根据各种所述实施方案的原理进行配置的电子设备1100的示例性功能框图。根据一些实施方案,电子设备 1100的功能块被配置为执行上文所述的技术。设备1100的功能块任选地由执行各种所述示例的原理的硬件、软件,或硬件和软件的组合来实现。本领域的技术人员应当理解,图10A中所述的功能块任选地被组合或被分离为子块,以实现各种所述示例的原理。因此,本文的描述任选地支持本文所述的功能块的任何可能的组合或分离或进一步限定。

以上参考图9A至图9B所述的操作任选地由图1至图7C、图8E和/或图10中描绘的部件来实现。本领域的普通技术人员会清楚地知道可如何基于图1至图7C、图8E和/或图10中所描绘的部件来实现过程。
图9C-9D是例示一种用于执行与虚拟助理的任务的方法的流程图 940。根据一些实施方案,方法900在包括DA服务器106的电子设备108 处执行。根据一些实施方案,DA服务器106是包括DA客户端102的系统 100的一部分。然而,方法940描述了在服务器108处的服务器侧操作。方法940中的一些操作可被组合,一些操作的次序可被改变并且一些操作可被省略。特别地,如果有的话,图9C至图9D中以虚线形状指示的可选操作可以以任何合适的顺序执行,并且不需要按照图9C至图9D所示的顺序执行。
如下所述,方法940提供了用于执行与虚拟助理的任务的直观方式。该方法减少用户对于执行使用数字助理的任务的认知负担,并改善用户对于数字助理性能的满意度,由此生成更有效的人机接口。
在方法940开始时,数字助理接收942针对来自虚拟助理的服务的用户输入。在一些实施方案中,在DA服务器106处从电子设备104、200、 400、600接收音频流。音频流可包括用户语音,诸如语音用户请求。在其它实施方案中,以文本形式而非语音来接收用户输入。在其它实施方案中,用户请求是在服务器系统108处被DA服务器106以任何适当的方式接收。
根据一些实施方案,DA服务器106确定944响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,任务包括语境解析、语音识别、自动语音识别、域分类、自然语言分析、查询解析、自然语言合成、用户接口解析、和文本-语音转换中的一者或多者。
在确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务之后,DA服务器106基于至少一个启发来估计946以服务器108完成所述至少一个任务的至少一个性能特征。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,性能特征是任务执行的速度、任务执行的相对效率、任务执行的功率消耗、和/或其它有关性能度量中的一者或多者。根据一些实施方案,多个启发如上文参考图 8A-8E所列出和描述。此外,根据其他实施方案,可使用一个或多个其他启发。
一个启发是可供服务器108使用的网络速度。无线网络启发如上文所述。类似地,有线网络服务基于网络速度被分类到分组中。如果较高网络速度在服务器108处不可用,则与较高网络速度在服务器108处可用时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度和功率消耗。虽然功率消耗就电池寿命而言对于服务器 108并不是极其重要的,但通常由于经济和环境的原因而期望降低服务器 108的总功率消耗。
一个启发是服务器108与电子设备104、200、400、600之间的网络延迟。这个延迟也可表现在DA服务器106与DA客户端102之间。网络延迟是指数据包从一个指定点到达另一指定点所花费的时间。如果在服务器108 处出现较大网络延迟,则与在服务器108处出现较低网络延迟时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度。
一个启发是服务器108处的负荷。负荷是指服务器108处对服务的需求,并且在对于任务执行的请求以较高速率到达和/或与任务承载较高计算负荷相关联时较高。如果在服务器108处出现较低负荷,则与在服务器108 处出现较高负荷时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度和功率消耗。
一个启发是服务器108处的容量。容量是指服务器108除了当前正在执行的任务之外执行附加任务的能力,并且在对于任务执行的请求以较低速率到达和/或与任务承载较低计算负荷相关联时较高。容量可以是硬性的 (可执行的任务上的固定上限)或软性的(可基于负荷调节的可移动上限)。如果服务器108具有较高容量,则与服务器108具有较低容量相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度和功率消耗。
一个启发是服务器108的状态。状态是指服务器108的操作状态。服务器108可能停机维护或者可能已经崩溃,从而其状态是停机。服务器108 可能完全运转,从而其状态是运行。服务器108可能部分运转,从而其状态是部分运行。如果服务器108完全运转(“运行”),则与服务器108 部分运转或停机时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。当服务器108停机时,其不能执行任何任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度。
一个启发是服务器108处的业务量。业务量是指到达服务器108的请求的数量,与请求的大小、请求的实质、或满足请求所需要的计算能力无关。如果服务器108正面对较少业务量,则与服务器108正面对较高业务量时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度。
一个启发是服务器108与电子设备104、200、400、600之间的数据连接特征。连接特征包括服务质量(QoS)、噪声/连接衰减、丢包率、和服务器108与电子设备104、200、400、600之间的数据连接的其他特征。如果在服务器108处出现较差连接特征,则与在服务器108处出现较好连接特征时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度。
一个启发是服务器108与服务提供方之间的连接特征。根据一些实施方案,为了履行任务,服务器108连接到外部服务提供方以获取信息或执行任务履行。如果在服务器108处出现较差连接特征,则与在服务器108 处出现较好连接特征时相比,服务器108更能够执行任务。根据一些实施方案,为这个启发估计的性能特征包括速度。
要么在框946后面立即,要么在框946后面的一个后续时间,DA服务器106重复框944,如从框946到框944的虚线所示。这样,对于两个或更多个分立的任务,DA服务器106分别基于至少一个启发来估计以服务器 108完成每个任务的至少一个性能特征。
数字助理基于框946的估计来确定948是否在服务器108处执行所述至少一个任务。数字助理以任何合适的方式做出这个确定。如上所述,根据一些实施方案,一个启发(诸如隐私设置或数据传输限制)可以是决定性的。根据其他实施方案,DA服务器106基于两个或更多个启发,基于估计完成语音识别的至少一个性能特征,确定是否在服务器108处执行语音识别任务。如果使用不止一个启发,则这些启发的结果被平均、加权、或以任何合适的方式处理,以执行所述确定。基于框946的估计的确定948 的示例在上文中针对图8A-8E被提供。
根据确定在服务器108处执行至少一个任务,DA服务器106导致950 在服务器108处执行至少一个任务。在一些实施方案中,所述执行是在处理模块114处进行。在其它实施方案中,所述执行是在服务器108处的任何合适的硬件元件处进行。在一些实施方案中,在框950中,DA服务器 106生成、或者使服务器108的另一部件生成在服务器108处执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码是以JavaScript语言编写的,但可使用任何其它合适的语言。可执行代码是基于要执行的具体任务而生成的。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码包括确定任务执行所必需的所有信息是否可供虚拟助理使用、获取或导致获取任务执行所必需的任何遗漏信息、和执行任务的代码。
框950的导致执行是通过将可执行代码存储952在服务器108处并导致954所存储的可执行代码在服务器108处执行来进行。与上文所述的“在运行中”生成可执行代码相比,将与任务执行相关联的可执行代码存储在服务器108处消耗更多存储器空间。然而,在一些实施方案中,与生成可执行代码并在框950中导致其执行相比,定位并执行所存储的可执行代码更快。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在导致950在服务器108处执行至少一个任务之后,DA服务器106或服务器108的其它部件从服务器108传输 956框950中导致执行的结果。在一些实施方案中,框950中导致执行的结果被传输给DA客户端102,用于进一步处理,和/或用于用作对在DA客户端102处执行的过程的输入。在其它实施方案中,框950中导致执行的结果在框956中被传输,以便满足用户请求。此类传输包括但不限于发送电子邮件(如上文参考图8C-8D所述)、消息或其它通信。
返回到框908,根据一些实施方案,根据确定在服务器108之外执行至少一个任务,DA服务器106生成958用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。所述生成958是以与上文针对在框950的一些实施方案中生成可执行代码所述基本上相同的方式来执行。在一些实施方案中,可执行代码被配置为通过命令的文本表示来与虚拟助理700的另一部分对接,而不是直接访问虚拟助理的原语。那些文本命令与虚拟助理700的API交互。这样,DA服务器106生成的代码产生低的可管理的安全性风险,并且恶意软件感染的路径被关闭。根据其它实施方案,服务器106的另一部件代替DA 服务器106或者与DA服务器106协调而生成用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。
在生成可执行代码之后,可执行代码从服务器108被传输960。根据一些实施方案,DA服务器102引发所述传输。根据其它实施方案,服务器 108的另一部件代替DA服务器106或者与DA服务器106协调而从服务器108传输用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。在一些实施方案中,任选地,可执行代码被从服务器108传输962给DA客户端102,其中虚拟助理700在服务器108与远程电子设备104、200、400、600之间划分。如上文参考图8A-8E和例示那些附图的示例所述,基于一个或多个启发,在电子设备104、200、400、600处(诸如通过执行从服务器108传输给电子设备的可执行代码)执行任务并将该任务的结果返回给服务器108可得到比在服务器108自身上执行代码更好的性能特征。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,可执行代码从服务器108传输964给第二电子设备,而不是传输给DA服务器。例如,可执行代码可从服务器传输给Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的Apple
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000771
数字媒体扩展器,其中原始用户请求是从智能电话诸如Apple,Inc.(Cupertino,California)的
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000772
移动数字设备做出的。这样,对于那些任务,计算任务可被卸载到最适当的设备、或者具有最佳能力的设备。服务器108通过任何合适的有线或无线网络连接到第二电子设备。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在将可执行代码传输964给第二电子设备之后,方法在第二电子设备处满足966用户请求。如在以上示例中那样,服务器108传输可执行代码给Apple
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000773
数字媒体扩展器,该数字媒体扩展器作为响应而响应于用户请求播放电影以满足用户请求。这样,服务器108可利用电子设备104、200、400、600或服务器108自身所连接到的多种其它设备以便改善计算性能,以及利用各种其它设备来以最有效的方式满足用户请求。例如,用户可能已经从
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000774
移动数字设备请求回放电影,但可能与连接到Apple
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000775
数字媒体扩展器的大电视机位于同一房间中。服务器108在一些实施方案中确定第二电子设备(这里是Apple
Figure RE-GDA0003113024380000776
数字媒体扩展器)将为用户提供更好的体验,因此使用框966来在第二电子设备处满足用户请求。
任选地,根据一些实施方案,在从服务器108传输960可执行代码之后,DA服务器106接收与可执行代码的执行相关联的信息。这样,远离服务器108执行的任务将该任务执行的结果返回给服务器108。
图10B示出了根据各种所述实施方案的原理进行配置的电子设备1200 的示例性功能框图。根据一些实施方案,电子设备1200的功能块被配置为执行上文所述的技术。设备1200的功能块任选地由执行各种所述示例的原理的硬件、软件,或硬件和软件的组合来实现。本领域的技术人员应当理解,图10B中所述的功能块任选地被组合或被分离为子块,以实现各种所述示例的原理。因此,本文的描述任选地支持本文所述的功能块的任何可能的组合或分离或进一步限定。
如图10B中所示,服务器1200包括处理单元1202。在一些实施方案中,处理单元1202包括传输单元1204、接收单元1206、确定单元1208,估计单元1210、导致单元1212、生成单元1214,并且任选地包括存储单元 1216。
根据一些实施方案,处理单元1202被配置为(例如以接收单元 1206)接收针对来自虚拟助理的服务的用户请求;(例如以确定单元 1208)确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务;(例如以估计单元1210) 基于至少一个启发,估计以服务器完成所述至少一个任务的至少一个性能特征;基于所述估计,(例如以确定单元1208)确定是否在服务器处执行所述至少一个任务;根据确定在服务器处执行所述至少一个任务,(例如以导致单元1212)导致在服务器处执行所述至少一个任务;根据确定在服务器之外执行所述至少一个任务,(例如以生成单元1214)生成用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码;和(例如以传输单元1204)从服务器传输可执行代码。
在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括服务器1200与电子设备之间的网络延迟。
在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括可供服务器1200使用的网络速度。
在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括服务器1200处的负荷。

在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括服务器1200的状态。

在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括任务的特征。
在一些实施方案中,所述至少一个启发包括从服务器1200到服务提供方的连接的特征。
在一些实施方案中,响应于所述传输,处理单元1202被配置为(例如以接收单元1206)接收与可执行代码的执行相关联的信息。
在一些实施方案中,处理单元1202被进一步配置为在(例如以导致单元1212)导致所述执行之后:(例如以传输单元1204)从服务器1200传输所述导致所述执行的结果。
在一些实施方案中,处理单元1202被配置为对至少两个分立的任务进行估计(例如以估计单元1210)和确定(例如以确定单元1208)。
在一些实施方案中,处理单元1202还包括存储单元1216;其中处理单元1202被进一步配置为(例如以导致单元1212)导致以下动作的执行: (例如以存储单元1216)在服务器1200上存储可执行代码;和(例如以导致单元1212)导致在服务器1200上执行所存储的代码。
在一些实施方案中,虚拟助理分布在服务器1200和电子设备之间,并且其中处理单元1202被配置为(例如以传输单元1204)传输可执行代码给电子设备。
在一些实施方案中,处理单元1202被配置为(例如以传输单元 1204)传输可执行代码给第二电子设备。
以上参考图9C至图9D所述的操作任选地由图1至图7C、图8E和/或图10中描绘的部件来实现。本领域的普通技术人员会清楚地知道可如何基于图1至图7C、图8E和/或图10中所描绘的部件来实现过程。
图9E-9H是示出一种用于执行与分布在位于电子设备104、200、 400、600处的DA客户端102与位于服务器108处的DA服务器106之间的虚拟助理的任务的方法的流程图980。方法980在电子设备104、200、 400、600和服务器108二者处执行。方法980中的一些操作可被组合,一些操作的次序可被改变并且一些操作可被省略。特别地,如果有的话,图 9E至图9H中以虚线形状指示的可选操作可以以任何合适的顺序执行,并且不需要按照图9E至图9H所示的顺序执行。如果动作被描述为由DA客户端102执行,则该动作相反可由DA服务器106执行,除非有明确相反的指出,因为这二者是助理100的部分。
如下所述,方法980提供了用于执行与虚拟助理的任务的直观方式。该方法减少用户对于执行使用数字助理的任务的认知负担,并改善用户对于数字助理性能的满意度,由此生成更有效的人机接口。对于电池驱动的计算设备,使得能够更准确且更高效地实现与数字助理的任务的改善执行就节省电力并增长了电池充电之间的时间间隔。
在方法980开始时,数字助理接收982针对来自虚拟助理的服务的用户输入。在一些实施方案中,用户输入包括包含一个或多个字词的非结构化自然语言语音。同样参考图8A和图8C,在电子设备104、200、400、 600包括麦克风213或者与麦克风213相关联的情况下,可通过麦克风213 接收该用户输入。用户输入也可称为音频输入或音频流。在一些实施方案中,音频流可作为原始声波,作为音频文件或以代表性的音频信号(模拟或数字)的形式被接收。在其他实施方案中,可在远程系统(诸如数字助理的服务器部件)处接收音频流。音频流可包括用户语音,诸如语音用户请求。在其它实施方案中,以文本形式而非语音来接收用户输入。在其它实施方案中,用户输入是通过触敏显示器系统212作为轻击、触摸、或其它手势而被接收。
根据一些实施方案,电子设备104、200、400、600处的DA客户端 102确定984响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,任务包括语境解析、语音识别、自动语音识别、域分类、自然语言分析、查询解析、自然语言合成、用户接口解析、和文本-语音转换中的一者或多者。
根据一些实施方案,在确定响应于用户请求执行至少一个任务之后, DA客户端102基于至少一个启发来估计986以电子设备104、200、400、 600完成所述至少一个任务的至少一个性能特征。如上文参考图8A-8E所述,根据一些实施方案,性能特征是任务执行的速度、任务执行的相对效率、任务执行的功率消耗、和/或其它有关性能度量中的一者或多者。根据一些实施方案,多个启发如上文参考图8A-8E所列出和描述。对于方法 980,上述启发涉及来自电子设备104、200、400、600或服务器108的通信在这里涉及电子设备104、200、400、600和服务器108之间的通信。
任选地,作为估计986的一部分,DA客户端102确定988电子设备 104、200、400、600和服务器108中每一者能够执行所述至少一个任务的速度。根据一些实施方案,作为所述确定的一部分,DA客户端102与DA 服务器106通信。在其它实施方案中,DA客户端102诸如通过基于与DA 服务器106的最近交互进行假设来假设服务器108能够执行所述至少一个任务的速度。任选地,作为估计986的一部分,在确定988所述速度之后,DA客户端102将电子设备104、200、400、600能够执行至少一个任务的速度与服务器108能够执行至少一个任务的速度进行比较990。任选地,作为比较990速度的一部分,DA客户端102确定992这些速度之间的差值,并将该差值与阈值进行比较994。
根据一些实施方案,要么在框986后面立即,要么在框986后面的一个后续时间,DA客户端102重复框984,如从框986到框984的虚线所示。这样,对于两个或更多个分立的任务,DA客户端102分别基于至少一个启发来估计以电子设备104、200、400、600完成每个任务的至少一个性能特征。
数字助理基于框986的估计来确定996是在电子设备104、200、400、 600处还是在服务器108处执行所述至少一个任务。数字助理以任何合适的方式做出这个确定。如上所述,根据一些实施方案,一个启发(诸如隐私设置或数据传输限制)可以是决定性的。根据其他实施方案,DA客户端 102基于两个或更多个启发,基于估计完成语音识别的至少一个性能特征,确定是在电子设备104、200、400、600处还是在服务器108处执行语音识别任务。如果使用不止一个启发,则这些启发的结果被平均、加权、或以任何合适的方式处理,以执行所述确定。基于框986的估计的确定996的示例在上文中针对图8A-8E被提供。如果估计986还包括比较990速度和将速度差与阈值进行比较994,如上所述,则响应于确定所述差值大于所述阈值,DA客户端102确定996电子设备104、200、400、600与服务器108 中较快者执行任务。如果所述差值低于所述阈值,则过程前进到框1014,如下文更详细描述。
根据确定996在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务, DA客户端102导致998在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务。如果框990-994已执行,则所述确定是基于电子设备104、200、 400、600执行任务比服务器108更快,并且速度差高于阈值。在一些实施方案中,所述执行是在处理器220处进行。在其它实施方案中,所述执行是在电子设备104、200、400、600处的任何合适的硬件元件处进行。在一些实施方案中,在框998中,DA客户端102生成、或者使电子设备104、 200、400、600的另一部件生成在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码是以JavaScript语言编写的,但可使用任何其它合适的语言。可执行代码是基于要执行的具体任务而生成的。根据一些实施方案,可执行代码包括确定任务执行所必需的所有信息是否可供虚拟助理使用、获取或导致获取任务执行所必需的任何遗漏信息、和执行任务的代码。
根据一些实施方案,在通过执行多个任务来满足针对服务的用户请求的过程中,DA客户端102和DA服务器106将在没有用户干预的情况下彼此转移任务执行两次或更多次。任务的此类来回转移是在每个任务完成之后或在每个任务子集完成之后迭代地执行框984和986的结果。如下文更详细所述,根据一些实施方案,DA客户端102和/或DA服务器106对任务的执行在某些情况下被延期。例如,在DA客户端102等待来自用户的输入期间,执行被延期。此类输入可以是对上文所述的严谨提示的响应。因为严谨提示将虚拟助理与用户之间的对话限制到小的一组可能性(例如“是”、“不是”、具体时间或日期),所以此类输入可在电子设备104、 200、400、600处本地处理,而不需要将任务转移回服务器108。在某些情况下,在电子设备104、200、400、600上本地处理此类输入更快,而不是将语音波形传输给服务器108并等待响应。相反,例如在接收到用户输入时,DA客户端102可返回到框996并确定是否要基于用户输入执行任务,或者导致998在服务器108处执行该任务。严谨提示的使用提供了电子设备104、200、400、600可确定用户输入的内容及决定不需要将用户输入传输给服务器108来确定说的是什么的置信度水平。如果用户说的并不是所预期的(例如,用户输入以非预期的方式构制或者与严谨提示无关),则 DA客户端可返回到框996,然后导致998在服务器108处执行识别用户输入的任务。
根据一些实施方案,本文任何过程900、940、980中的步骤包括在电子设备104、200、400、600和服务器108二者处保持每个任务的状态。这样,DA客户端102和DA服务器104监视任务执行,并且每一者被配置为在数据从另一者到达时预期有来自另一者的数据。因此,在一些实施方案中,任选地由于在框996中确定(这可以是由DA客户端102或DA服务器106进行)导致在电子设备104、200、400、600处执行至少一个任务,DA 服务器106生成1000用于执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。可执行代码的生成基本上如上文所述地执行。
任选地,在框1000中生成的可执行代码从服务器108传输1002给电子设备104、200、400、600。任选地,可执行代码然后在电子设备104、 200、400、600处执行1004。任选地,可执行代码在电子设备104、200、 400、600处在沙箱中执行1006。“沙箱”是一种计算机安全术语,是指一种独立计算环境,在其中,代码可在隔离区域中运行,从而如果发生错误或安全性问题,则那些问题将不会扩散到电子设备104、200、400、600上的其它区域。程序在其自身的隔离区域中被启用,在那里可对其进行操作而不对其它程序产生任何威胁。根据一些实施方案,虚拟机是一种沙箱。
返回框996,根据确定996在服务器108处执行至少一个任务,DA服务器106导致1008在服务器108处执行至少一个任务。如果框990-994已执行,则所述确定是基于服务器108执行任务比电子设备104、200、400、 600更快,并且速度差高于阈值。在一些实施方案中,所述执行是在处理模块114处进行。在其它实施方案中,所述执行是在服务器108处的任何合适的硬件元件处进行。在一些实施方案中,在框1010中,DA客户端102 生成、或者使电子设备104、200、400、600的另一部件生成在服务器108 处执行所述至少一个任务的可执行代码。可执行代码的生成基本上如上文所述地执行。任选地,在框1010中生成的可执行代码从电子设备104、 200、400、600传输给服务器108。任选地,可执行代码然后在服务器108 处执行1014。任选地,可执行代码在服务器108处在沙箱中执行1016。
返回框996,如果估计986还包括比较990速度和将速度差与阈值进行比较994,如上所述,则响应于确定所述差值大于所述阈值,DA客户端 102确定996服务器108和电子设备104、200、400、600二者执行任务。根据确定996在服务器108和电子设备104、200、400、600二者处执行至少一个任务,DA客户端102导致1018在服务器108和电子设备104、 200、400、600二者处执行至少一个任务。可执行代码以与上文参考方法 900和940所述基本上相同的方式在服务器108和电子设备104、200、 400、600二者处执行。根据一些实施方案,至少一个任务的执行的结果在每个任务完成时被返回给电子设备104、200、400、600。任选地,在框1020中,电子设备104、200、400、600利用电子设备104、200、400、 600和服务器108中第一者执行任务的结果。在框1022中,电子设备 104、200、400、600丢弃电子设备104、200、400、600和服务器108中第二者执行任务的结果。如本段中所用,术语“执行”包括将结果返回给电子设备104、200、400、600。例如,如果服务器108首先执行任务,使得任务结果在同一任务在电子设备104、200、400、600自身上完成执行之前已被返回给电子设备104、200、400、600,则电子设备104、200、400、 600利用从服务器108接收的结果并丢弃从电子设备104、200、400、600 接收的结果(当那些结果可用时)。
根据一些实施方案,在框998、1008、1018中,代码的执行被延期。例如,代码的执行与未来的事件相关联,诸如“在我明天的会议前一小时设置闹钟”。又如,代码的执行需要输入、或信息采集,代码的执行是以此为基础的。将代码的执行延期非平凡时间量或者将其有条件地延期到信息采集后的能力就允许实现能够满足一系列用户请求的稳健系统。如上所述,根据一些实施方案,本文任何过程900、940、980中的步骤包括在电子设备104、200、400、600和服务器108二者处保持每个任务的状态。这样,DA客户端102和DA服务器104监视任务执行,并且每一者被配置为在数据从另一者到达时预期有来自另一者的数据。保持状态信息就允许更有效地延期执行代码,因为电子设备104、200、400、600和服务器108能跟踪响应仍未决的数据和动作,然后在响应到达时将该响应接收回到过程 900、940、980中并根据其而进行操作。
