The method for updating the task status in real time according to the present invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments.

The first embodiment is as follows:

when a user is going to go home after work at 6 pm, in step 101, a first task is created by issuing a voice command to the voice assistant: buy a star barker red flag plaza mocha coffee mug. The voice assistant determines first task information, wherein the merchant information is a starbucks red flag square store, and the purchased commodity information is a mocha coffee mug. In addition, in this embodiment, the user does not specify a delivery address in the voice command, and at this time, the voice assistant determines the navigation destination as the delivery address, and in this embodiment, the navigation destination is the home address of the user.

In step 102, the voice assistant determines whether the conditions for executing the first task are met: the voice assistant first determines a first duration and a second duration. In this embodiment, assuming that the duration required by the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine to drive the vehicle from the current location to the home is 60 minutes, the voice assistant determines that the first application program or the first interaction engine executing the first task is a takeout APP or a takeout interaction engine, and instructs the takeout APP or the takeout interaction engine to determine the second duration, and the historical delivery duration required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination, which corresponds to a time period (e.g. 6 o ' clock to 6 o ' clock and 20 minutes) in which the takeout APP or the takeout interaction engine determines that the current time (e.g. 6 o ' clock and 01 minutes) is 40 minutes. The voice assistant obtains a first time duration of 80 minutes from the navigation APP or navigation interaction engine and a second time duration of 40 minutes from the take-away APP or take-away interaction engine. The voice assistant judges that the first time length is not equal to the second time length, that is, the first time length is not equivalent to the second time length, so that the judgment result at this time is that the condition for executing the first task is not met, the voice assistant caches the first task of purchasing the starbuckmocha coffee mug, and the judgment process in the step 102 is repeatedly executed in a preset period. The period may be, for example, 1 minute. The period can be set individually by the user or by default by the voice assistant.

The voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in step 102, in a certain execution, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time required for the user to drive the vehicle from the current position to home is 45 minutes, and the takeout APP or the takeout interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination corresponding to the time period of the current time is 45 minutes. The voice assistant obtains the first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine to be 45 minutes, obtains the second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine to be 45 minutes, and at the moment, the voice assistant determines that the first time length is equal to the second time length, namely the first time length and the second time length are equivalent, so that the judgment result at the moment is that the condition for executing the first task is met.

Then in step 103, the voice assistant sends the first task information to the take-away app or take-away interaction engine, so that the take-away app or take-away interaction engine generates a first order by interacting with a corresponding server, and the server notifies the merchant, i.e., starbucks red flag square shop, of the first order. Then, the merchant processes the first order, and the specific processing procedure is the same as the prior art, such as making the purchased goods or picking up goods based on the purchased goods information in the first order. And will not be described in detail herein.

In step 104, the voice assistant determines whether a first event affecting the first task occurs, and in this embodiment, the user subsequently modifies the journey at 6 o 'clock and 25 o' clock, adds a first via-ground in the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine, that is, the first event affecting the first task occurs, and at this time, the voice assistant sends first information to the take-away APP or the take-away interaction engine, where the first information is used to instruct the take-away APP or the take-away interaction engine to notify the merchant to suspend processing the first order.

Thereafter, in step 105, the voice assistant determines whether the conditions for resuming execution of the first task are satisfied: determining the first time length and the second time length, and judging whether the first time length is equivalent to the second time length, wherein in the embodiment, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time length required by a user to drive the vehicle from the current position to home via the first via place is 70 minutes, and the takeout APP or the takeout interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time length required by any commodity to be delivered to the navigation destination from the merchant corresponding to the time period at the current time is 45 minutes. The voice assistant obtains a first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine to be 70 minutes, obtains a second time length from the take-out APP or the take-out interaction engine to be 45 minutes, and determines that the first time length is not equal to the second time length at the moment, namely the first time length and the second time length are not equivalent, so that the voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in the step 105 in a preset period if the judgment result at the moment does not meet the condition of resuming execution of the first task. The period may be, for example, 1 minute. The period can be set individually by the user or by default by the voice assistant.

The voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in step 105, in a certain execution, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time length required by the user from the current position to home is 50 minutes, and the takeout APP or the takeout interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time length required by delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination corresponding to the time period of the current time is 50 minutes. The voice assistant obtains the first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine to be 50 minutes, obtains the second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine to be 50 minutes, and at this time, the voice assistant determines that the first time length is equal to the second time length, namely, the first time length and the second time length are equivalent to each other, so that the judgment result at this time meets the condition of resuming execution of the first task, and step 106 is executed.

In step 106, the voice assistant sends second information to the take-away app or take-away interaction engine, where the second information is used to instruct the take-away app or take-away interaction engine to notify the merchant to resume processing the first order.

In this embodiment, the voice assistant determines the second time duration through the takeaway app or the takeaway interaction engine each time, and the voice assistant may also obtain and store the historical delivery time duration, corresponding to each time period, required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination from the takeaway app or the takeaway interaction engine in advance, so that the second time duration can be determined by querying local storage.

In this embodiment, the second duration of each determination by the voice assistant is different, which takes into account the effect of the next single peak period on the delivery duration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the second duration may be determined for the application or interaction engine that provides the delivery duration guarantee, and thus the voice assistant may assign a fixed duration value to the second duration.

In this embodiment, the example that the user drives from the current location to the navigation destination is taken as an example for explanation, the user may also take a vehicle or walk from the current location to the navigation destination, at this time, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time length required for the user to take the vehicle or walk from the current location to home via the first via the ground is the first time length, and the execution processes of other steps are similar to those of the embodiment and are not described herein again.

Example two:

the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that: the method for determining whether the first duration is equal to the second duration is different, and in the first embodiment, according to whether the first duration is equal to the second duration, according to whether an absolute value of a difference between the first duration and the second duration is smaller than a first preset threshold. In this embodiment, only the steps 102 and 105 related to the above difference are described, and other steps are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described again here.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first preset threshold is 5 minutes, and the first preset threshold may be other time durations, which may be set individually by the user or may be set by default by the voice assistant.

In step 102, the voice assistant determines whether the conditions for executing the first task are met: the voice assistant first determines a first duration and a second duration. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time period required for the user to drive from the current location to home is 60 minutes, and the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time period required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination corresponding to the time period (e.g., 6 o ' clock-6 o ' clock 20 minutes) of the current time (e.g., 6 o ' clock 01 minutes) is 40 minutes. The voice assistant obtains a first time duration of 80 minutes from the navigation APP or navigation interaction engine and a second time duration of 40 minutes from the take-away APP or take-away interaction engine. The voice assistant calculates the absolute value of the difference between the first time length and the second time length to be 40 minutes, which is greater than 5 minutes, so that the voice assistant determines that the first time length is not equivalent to the second time length, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for executing the first task is not satisfied. The voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in step 102, and in a certain execution, the voice assistant obtains a first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine of 49 minutes, obtains a second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine of 45 minutes, and at this time, the voice assistant calculates that the absolute value of the difference between the first time length and the second time length is 4 minutes, which is less than 5 minutes, so that the voice assistant determines that the first time length is equivalent to the second time length, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for executing the first task is satisfied.

Similarly, in step 105, the voice assistant obtains the first duration from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 70 minutes, and obtains the second duration from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 45 minutes, at this time, the voice assistant determines that the absolute value of the difference obtained by subtracting the second duration from the first duration is greater than a first preset threshold, that is, the two are not equivalent, so that the determination result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is not satisfied. The voice assistant repeatedly executes the determination process in step 105, and in a certain execution, the voice assistant obtains the first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 54 minutes, obtains the second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 50 minutes, and at this time, the voice assistant determines that the absolute value of the difference between the first time length and the second time length is 4 minutes, which is smaller than a first preset threshold value, and the two are equivalent, so that the determination result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is satisfied, and step 106 is executed.

Example three:

the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that: the method for determining whether the first duration is equal to the second duration is different, and in the first embodiment, according to whether the first duration is equal to the second duration, in this embodiment, according to whether the first duration is within a second duration interval. In this embodiment, only the steps 102 and 105 related to the above difference are described, and other steps are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described again here.

In step 102, assuming that the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time period required by the user to drive the vehicle from the current position to home is 60 minutes, the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time period required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination corresponding to the time period (for example, 6 o ' clock to 6 o ' clock and 20 o ' clock) of the current time (for example, 6 o ' clock to 01 o ' clock) is 40-45 minutes. The voice assistant obtains the first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine for 80 minutes, and obtains the second time length from the take-out APP or the take-out interaction engine for 40-45 minutes. The voice assistant determines that the first time length is not within the second time length interval, so that the first time length is not equivalent to the second time length interval, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for executing the first task is not met. The voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in step 102, and in a certain execution, the voice assistant obtains the first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 44 minutes, and obtains the second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 40-45 minutes, at this time, the voice assistant determines that the first time length is within the second time length interval, that is, the first time length is equivalent to the second time length interval, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for executing the first task is satisfied.

Similarly, in step 105, the voice assistant obtains the first duration from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 70 minutes, and obtains the second duration from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 45-50 minutes, at this time, the voice assistant determines that the first duration is not within the second duration, that is, the first duration and the second duration are not equivalent, so that the determination result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is not satisfied, and the voice assistant repeatedly executes the determination process in step 105 at a preset cycle. In a certain execution, the voice assistant obtains the first time duration from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 54 minutes, and obtains the second time duration from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 50-55 minutes, at this time, the voice assistant determines that the first time duration is not within the second time duration, that is, the first time duration and the second time duration are equivalent, so that the judgment result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is satisfied, and step 106 is executed.

In this embodiment, the voice assistant determines the second duration interval through the takeaway app or the takeaway interaction engine each time, and the voice assistant may also obtain and store the historical delivery duration corresponding to each duration from the takeaway app or the takeaway interaction engine in advance, so as to query the local storage, and thus determine the second duration interval.

In this embodiment, the second duration interval determined by the voice assistant each time is different, which takes into account the effect of the next single peak period on the delivery duration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that for applications or interaction engines that provide delivery duration guarantees, the second duration interval may be deterministic, and thus, the voice assistant may assign a fixed duration interval to the second duration interval.

Example four:

the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that: in the step 105, it is determined whether a condition for resuming execution of the first task is satisfied, in a first embodiment, whether the first duration is equivalent to the second duration or the second duration interval is determined, and in this embodiment, whether the first duration is equivalent to the third duration or the third duration interval is determined.

Step 101 and step 102 are the same as in the first embodiment, and are not described again here.

In step 103, the voice assistant sends the first task information to the take-away app or take-away interaction engine, so that the take-away app or take-away interaction engine generates a first order by interacting with a corresponding server. Assume that the time is 6 o' clock and 20 minutes.

Thereafter, in step 105, the voice assistant determines whether the conditions for resuming execution of the first task are satisfied: determining the first duration, the second duration, and a third duration, where the third duration is a difference between the second duration and a fourth duration, and the fourth duration is a duration in which the first task has been executed when the first event occurs. In this embodiment, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines that the time required for the user to drive the vehicle from the current position to home via the first via-ground is 70 minutes, and the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine determines that the historical delivery time required for delivering any commodity from the merchant to the navigation destination corresponding to the time period of the current time is 45 minutes. The voice assistant obtains a first time length from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine as 70 minutes, obtains a second time length from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine as 45 minutes, and since the first task is executed after 6 points 20, and the user modifies the journey at 6 points 25, it can be known that the fourth time length is 5 minutes, the voice assistant calculates to obtain a third time length of 45 minutes to 5 minutes of 40 minutes, the first time length is not equal to the third time length, that is, the first time length and the third time length are not equivalent, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is not satisfied, and then the voice assistant repeatedly executes the judgment process in step 105 at a preset cycle. The period may be, for example, 1 minute. The period can be set individually by the user or by default by the voice assistant. In a certain execution, the voice assistant obtains a first time duration of 45 minutes from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine, obtains a second time duration of 50 minutes from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine, calculates a third time duration of 50-5-45 minutes, and the first time duration is equal to the third time duration, that is, the first time duration and the third time duration are equivalent, and the judgment result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is satisfied, and executes step 106.

In this embodiment, it is only described that whether the first duration is equal to the third duration is determined to be equivalent to the third duration, and other conditions for determining whether the first duration is equivalent to the third duration are similar to the execution process, and details are not described here.

Example five:

the fifth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the first event affecting the first task is different, in the first embodiment, the first event is that the user increases the passing ground, and in the fifth embodiment, the first event is that the road condition deteriorates.

Steps 101 to 103 are the same as the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.

In step 104, the voice assistant determines whether a first event affecting the first task has occurred, and in this embodiment, the voice assistant acquires a first time with a preset period (e.g., 1 minute), for example, the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine determines a first time and sends it to the voice assistant, which compares the currently acquired first time with the last acquired first time, when the first time (e.g. 60 minutes) currently acquired exceeds the first time (e.g. 40 minutes) last acquired and the exceeding portion (60 minutes-40 minutes-20 minutes) is greater than the second preset threshold (e.g. 10 minutes), considering that the road condition deterioration occurs, at this time, the voice assistant sends first information to the takeout app or the takeout interaction engine, the first information is used to instruct the take-away app or take-away interaction engine to notify the merchant to suspend processing of the first order.

Thereafter, in step 105, the voice assistant determines whether the conditions for resuming execution of the first task are satisfied: determining the first duration and the second duration, and determining whether the first duration and the second duration are equivalent, in this embodiment, the voice assistant obtains the first duration from the navigation APP or the navigation interaction engine for 65 minutes, and obtains the second duration from the takeaway APP or the takeaway interaction engine for 45 minutes, at this time, the voice assistant determines that the first duration is not equal to the second duration, that is, the first duration and the second duration are not equivalent, so that the determination result at this time is that the condition for resuming execution of the first task is not satisfied, and the voice assistant repeatedly executes the determination process in step 105 in a preset period. The period may be, for example, 1 minute. The period can be set individually by the user or by default by the voice assistant.

In this embodiment, it is only described that whether the first duration is equal to the second duration is determined by determining whether the first duration is equal to the second duration, and for the case that whether the first duration is equal to the second duration is determined according to whether an absolute value of a difference obtained by subtracting the second duration from the first duration is smaller than a first preset threshold or according to whether the first duration is within a second duration interval, the execution process is similar, and details are not repeated here.

In this embodiment, it is only described that whether to resume executing the first task is determined by whether the first duration is equivalent to the second duration or the second duration interval, and for the case that whether to resume executing the first task is determined by whether the first duration is equivalent to the third duration or the third duration interval, the execution processes are similar, and details are not repeated here.

In the first to fifth embodiments, only the user does not specify the delivery address when creating the first task, that is, the navigation destination is taken as the delivery address by default, for the case that the delivery address is explicitly indicated in the voice instruction issued when creating the first task, it is only necessary to first determine whether the delivery address is the same as the navigation destination or the navigation destination before determining whether the first duration is equivalent to the second duration or the second duration interval, and if so, then determine whether the first duration is equivalent to the second duration or the second duration interval, and the remaining execution processes are similar to those in the first to fifth embodiments, and are not described herein again.

By the method, after the voice assistant places an order through other application programs or an interaction engine, when at least one of the situation of the user and road condition deterioration suddenly increases, the voice assistant can notify the merchant in real time to suspend the order processing, continuously monitor the home arrival time and the order dispatching time of the user, and send a second message for recovering the takeout order to the merchant when the two are equivalent, so that the state of the first task can be updated in real time, the commodity purchased by the user can arrive at the home at the same time as the user, inconvenience brought to the user due to the fact that the user arrives and purchases the commodity or the purchased commodity is delivered and the user does not arrive at the home and cannot receive the commodity is avoided, and user experience is improved.
