Description

检测数字助理的触发
本申请是申请号为201880002529.3、国际申请日为2018年4月25日、发明名称为“检测数字助理的触发”的发明专利申请的分案申请。
本申请要求以下专利申请的优先权：美国临时专利申请No.62/507,042，名称为“DETECTING A TRIGGER OF A DIGITAL ASSISTANT(检测数字助理的触发)”，2017年5月16日提交；丹麦专利申请No.PA201770420，名称为“DETECTING A TRIGGER OF A DIGITALASSISTANT(检测数字助理的触发)”，2017年5月31日提交；和丹麦专利申请No.PA201770421，名称为“DETECTING A TRIGGER OF A DIGITAL ASSISTANT(检测数字助理的触发)”，2017年5月31日提交。以上专利申请的内容据此全文以引用方式并入。
技术领域
本发明整体涉及智能自动化助理，更具体地讲，涉及检测数字助理的触发。
背景技术
智能自动化助理(或数字助理)可在人类用户与电子设备之间提供有利界面。此类助理可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，用户可向正在电子设备上运行的数字助理提供包含用户请求的语音输入。数字助理可从该语音输入解译用户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，并且可将响应于用户请求的相关输出返回给用户。
在一些情况下，电子设备经由一个或多个麦克风对来自周围环境的音频信号进行采样，以检测用户是否说出用于发起数字助理会话(例如，“嗨西丽”)的触发。然而，被采样音频信号可能包括干扰音频信号，诸如来自竞争说话者(例如，物理上接近电子设备的用户以外的人)的语音、来自噪声源(例如，房间中的电视)的音频输出、混响等。因此，电子设备可能由于干扰噪声而未能检测到来自用户的语音触发，或者可能错误地检测到来自干扰音频信号的语音触发(例如，误将竞争说话者发出的“History(历史)”误认为“Hey Siri(嗨西丽)”)。此外，电子设备可能无法区分针对数字助理的被采样音频信号的部分和不针对数字助理的被采样音频信号的部分(例如，两个说话者之间的对话)。这继而导致用户体验混乱和低效，因为电子设备可能在用户没有发出语音触发时发起数字助理会话，在用户发出语音触发时未能发起数字助理会话，并且/或者误解用户对数字助理的请求。

一个或多个示例非暂态计算机可读存储介质存储一个或多个程序。一个或多个程序包括这样的指令，其在由一个或多个电子设备的一个或多个处理器执行时，使得一个或多个电子设备：使用一个或多个电子设备中的第一电子设备的第一麦克风对第一音频信号进行采样；使用一个或多个电子设备中的第二电子设备的第二麦克风对第二音频信号进行采样，其中第二电子设备与第一电子设备不同。一个或多个程序还包括这样的指令，其使一个或多个电子设备：在一个或多个电子设备中的第三电子设备处确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发；根据确定第一音频信号或第二音频信号对应于语音触发，由一个或多个电子设备中的第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话；根据确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号不对应于语音触发，放弃由第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话。
本文公开了示例电子设备。一种示例电子设备包括：一个或多个处理器；存储器；多个麦克风；以及一个或多个程序，其中一个或多个程序存储在存储器中并且被配置为由一个或多个处理器执行。一个或多个程序包括用于以下操作的指令：在电子设备的多个麦克风中的每一个处对音频信号进行采样以获得多个音频信号；处理多个音频信号以获得多个音频流；基于多个音频流确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发，根据确定多个音频信号对应于语音触发，由电子设备发起数字助理的会话；根据确定多个音频信号不对应于语音触发，放弃发起数字助理的会话。
一种示例电子设备包括用于以下操作的装置：在电子设备的多个麦克风中的每一个处对音频信号进行采样以获得多个音频信号；处理多个音频信号以获得多个音频流；基于多个音频流确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发；根据确定多个音频信号对应于语音触发，由电子设备发起数字助理的会话；根据确定多个音频信号不对应于语音触发，放弃发起数字助理的会话。
本文公开了示例系统。一种示例系统包括：一个或多个电子设备的一个或多个处理器；一个或多个电子设备的一个或多个存储器；以及存储在一个或多个存储器中并且被配置为由一个或多个处理器执行的一个或多个程序。一个或多个程序包括用于以下操作的指令：使用一个或多个电子设备中的第一电子设备的第一麦克风对第一音频信号进行采样；使用一个或多个电子设备中的第二电子设备的第二麦克风对第二音频信号进行采样，其中第二电子设备与第一电子设备不同；在一个或多个电子设备中的第三电子设备处确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发；根据确定第一音频信号或第二音频信号对应于语音触发，由一个或多个电子设备中的第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话；根据确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号不对应于语音触发，放弃由第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话。
一种示例系统包括用于以下操作的装置：使用第一电子设备的第一麦克风对第一音频信号进行采样；使用不同于第一电子设备的第二电子设备的第二麦克风对第二音频信号进行采样；在第三电子设备处确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发；根据确定第一音频信号或第二音频信号对应于语音触发，由第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话；根据确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号不对应于语音触发，放弃由第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话。
处理由多个麦克风采样的多个音频信号以获得多个音频流(例如，音频波束)，并且使用多个音频流来检测数字助理的触发允许电子设备依赖与多个方向相关联的音频流来检测触发。这些音频流为数字助理提供丰富的信息，从而允许数字助理准确地检测从不同方向发出的语音触发，使干扰音频信号的影响最小化，并正确地解释用户对数字助理的请求。以这种方式提高数字助理的准确性增强了设备的可操作性并且使用户-设备界面更有效(例如，通过改进用户请求的解释、通过减少数字助理的错误以及通过减少重复的用户输入)，此外，通过使用户能够更快速且有效地使用设备，还减少了电力使用并且延长了设备的电池寿命。
使用来自多个电子设备的麦克风对多个音频信号进行采样并且基于这些音频信号检测触发允许数字助理即使在用户远离多个电子设备中的特定一个的情况下也能准确地检测触发。此外，使来自多个电子设备的电子设备(例如，具有最高处理能力)分析被采样音频信号使其他电子设备不分配本地资源进行分析，从而允许其他电子设备更有效地操作。有效且准确地对音频信号进行采样和分析增强了设备的可操作性并且使用户-设备界面更有效(例如，通过改进用户请求的解释、通过减少数字助理的错误以及通过减少重复的用户输入)，此外，通过使用户能够更快速且有效地使用设备，还减少了电力使用并且延长了设备的电池寿命。
使用一个电子设备(例如，具有最高处理能力)确定被采样音频信号是否包括语音触发，同时使用另一电子设备(例如，具有最佳硬件和/或软件)发起数字助理会话允许数字助理准确地检测语音触发并且提供了对用户请求的最佳响应，而无需用户确定触发哪个电子设备。减少用户输入的数量并且减少用户的认知负担增强了设备的可操作性并且使用户-设备界面更有效(例如，通过改进用户请求的解释、通过减少数字助理的错误以及通过减少重复的用户输入)，此外，通过使用户能够更快速且有效地使用设备，还减少了电力使用并且延长了设备的电池寿命。

具体实施方式
在以下对示例的描述中将引用附图，在附图中以例示的方式示出了可被实施的特定示例。应当理解，在不脱离各个示例的范围的情况下，可使用其他示例并且可作出结构性变更。
如所讨论的，由电子设备采样的音频信号可以包括数字助理的语音触发以及干扰音频信号。本发明的示例涉及基于由多个麦克风采样的多个音频信号来检测数字助理的触发。这类技术可以增强设备的可操作性并且使用户-设备界面更有效(例如，通过改进用户请求的解释、通过减少数字助理的错误以及通过减少重复的用户输入)，此外，通过使用户能够更快速且有效地使用设备，还减少了电力使用并且延长了设备的电池寿命。
尽管以下描述使用术语“第一”、“第二”等来描述各种元件，但这些元件不应受术语的限制。这些术语只是用于将一个元件与另一元件区分开。例如，在不脱离各种所述示例的范围的情况下，第一输入可被称为第二输入，并且类似地，第二输入可被称为第一输入。第一输入和第二输入均为输入，并且在一些情况下为独立且不同的输入。
在本文中对各种所述示例的描述中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定示例的目的，而并非旨在进行限制。如在对各种所述示例的描述和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样，单数形式“一个(“a”,“an”)”和“该”旨在也包括复数形式，除非上下文另外明确地指示。还将理解的是，本文中所使用的术语“和/或”是指并且涵盖相关联的所列出的项目中的一个或多个项目的任何和全部可能的组合。还将理解的是，术语“包括”(“includes”、“including”、“comprises”和/或“comprising”)在本说明书中使用时是指定存在所陈述的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件和/或部件，但是并不排除存在或添加一个或多个其他特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、部件和/或其分组。
根据上下文，术语“如果”可被解释为意指“当...时”(“when”或“upon”)或“响应于确定”或“响应于检测到”。类似地，根据上下文，短语“如果确定...”或“如果检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”可被解释为意指“在确定...时”或“响应于确定...”或“在检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]时”或“响应于检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”。
1.系统和环境
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”是指解译口头形式和/或文本形式的自然语言输入来推断用户意图，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，为了作用于推断出的用户意图，系统执行下述步骤中的一个或多个：识别具有设计用于实现推断出的用户意图的步骤和参数的任务流，根据推断出的用户意图将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。
具体地讲，数字助理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，用户请求要么寻求数字助理作出信息性回答，要么寻求数字助理执行任务。对用户请求的令人满意的响应包括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，数字助理回答“你在中央公园西门附近。”用户还请求执行任务，例如“请邀请我的朋友们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，然后代表用户将合适的日历邀请发送到用户电子通讯录中列出的用户朋友中的每位朋友。在执行所请求的任务期间，数字助理有时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，数字助理还提供其他视频或音频形式的响应，例如作为文本、警报、音乐、视频、动画等。
如图1所示，在一些示例中，数字助理根据客户端-服务器模型来实现。数字助理包括在用户设备104上执行的客户端部分102(以下简称“DA客户端102”)以及在服务器系统108上执行的服务器端部分106(以下简称“DA服务器106”)。DA客户端102通过一个或多个网络110与DA服务器106通信。DA客户端102提供客户端功能，诸如面向用户的输入和输出处理，以及与DA服务器106通信。DA服务器106为各自位于相应用户设备104上的任意数量的DA客户端102提供服务器端功能。
在一些示例中，DA服务器106包括面向客户端的I/O接口112、一个或多个处理模块114、数据与模型116，以及到外部服务设施的I/O接口118。面向客户端的I/O接口112有利于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利用数据与模型116来处理语音输入，并基于自然语言输入来确定用户意图。此外，一个或多个处理模块114基于推断出的用户意图来执行任务执行。在一些示例中，DA服务器106通过一个或多个网络110与外部服务设施120通信以完成任务或采集信息。到外部服务设施的I/O接口118促成此类通信。
用户设备104可以是任何合适的电子设备。在一些示例中，用户设备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至图6B描述的设备600)。便携式多功能设备是例如还包含诸如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包括来自加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的苹果公司(Apple Inc.of Cupertino,California)的AppleiPod和设备。便携式多功能设备的其他示例包括但不限于耳塞式耳机/头戴式耳机、扬声器以及膝上型电脑或平板电脑。此外，在一些示例中，用户设备104是非便携式多功能设备。具体地讲，用户设备104是台式计算机、游戏机、扬声器、电视或电视机顶盒。在一些示例中，用户设备104包括触敏表面(例如，触摸屏显示器和/或触控板)。此外，用户设备104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，诸如以太网、通用串行总线(USB)、火线(FIREWIRE)、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在一个或多个独立式数据处理设备或分布式计算机网络上实现。在一些示例中，服务器系统108还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经由第二用户设备122与DA服务器106通信。第二用户设备122与用户设备104相似或相同。例如，第二用户设备122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网络而通信耦接到第二用户设备122。在一些示例中，第二用户设备122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被配置为经由第二用户设备122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处理该信息，并经由第二用户设备122将相关数据(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，以生成完整的请求来传输到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)作为到DA服务器106的代理，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DA服务器106提供的服务。虽然图1中仅示出两个用户设备104和122，但应当理解，在一些示例中，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中所示的数字助理包括客户端部分(例如，DA客户端102)和服务器端部分(例如，DA服务器106)两者，但在一些示例中，数字助理的功能实现为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客户端为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。
2.电子设备
现在将注意力转至用于实现数字助理的客户端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(例如设备200的触敏表面诸如触敏显示系统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进行通信。
如在本说明书和权利要求书中所使用的，术语触敏表面上的接触的“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值被组合(例如，加权平均)以确定所估计的接触力。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区域的大小和/或其变化、接触附近的触敏表面的电容和/或其变化以及/或者接触附近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物测量直接用于确定是否已经超过强度阈值(例如，强度阈值以对应于替代物测量的单位来描述)。在一些具体实施中，接触力或压力的替代物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，强度阈值是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实地面积有限的尺寸更小的设备上本来不可访问的附加设备功能，该尺寸更小的设备用于(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，该触感对应于设备或设备的部件的物理特征的所感知的变化。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。又如，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或感测为触敏表面的“粗糙度”。虽然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，但是对触摸的许多感官知觉是大多数用户共有的。因此，当触觉输出被描述为对应于用户的特定感官知觉(例如，“按下点击”、“松开点击”、“粗糙度”)时，除非另外陈述，否则所生成的触觉输出对应于设备或其部件的物理位移，该物理位移将会生成典型(或普通)用户的所述感官知觉。
应当理解，设备200仅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部件更多或更少的部件，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。

在一些示例中，存储器202的非暂态计算机可读存储介质用于存储指令(例如，用于执行下文描述的过程的各方面)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、装置或设备取出指令并执行指令的其他系统使用或与其结合使用。在其他示例中，指令(例如，用于执行下文描述的过程的各方面)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。
外围设备接口218用于将设备的输入和输出外围设备耦接到CPU 220和存储器202。一个或多个处理器220运行或执行存储器202中所存储的各种软件程序和/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，它们在独立的芯片上实现。

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。在示例性实施方案中，触摸屏212和用户之间的接触点与用户的手指对应。
触摸屏212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使用目前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接触的一个或多个点的其他元件来检测接触及其任何移动或中断，所述多种触摸感测技术包括但不限于电容式、电阻式、红外和表面声波技术。在一个示例性实施方案中，使用投射式互电容感测技术，诸如在来自加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的苹果公司(Apple Inc.of Cupertino,California)的和iPod中使用的技术。
在一些实施方案中，触摸屏212的触敏显示器类似于以下美国专利6,323,846(Westerman等人)、6,570,557(Westerman等人)和/或6,677,932(Westerman)和/或美国专利公开2002/0015024A1中所述的多触敏触控板，这些专利申请中的每个均据此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，而触敏触控板不提供视觉输出。
在一些实施方案中，触摸屏212的触敏显示器如以下专利申请所述：(1)美国专利申请No.11/381,313，“Multipoint Touch Surface Controller(多点触摸表面控制器)”，2006年5月2日提交；(2)美国专利申请No.10/840,862，“Multipoint Touchscreen(多点触摸屏)”，2004年5月6日提交；(3)美国专利申请No.10/903,964，“Gestures For TouchSensitive Input Devices(触敏入设备的手势)”，2004年7月30日提交；(4)美国专利申请No.11/048,264，“Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices(触敏入设备的手势)”，2005年1月31日提交；(5)美国专利申请No.11/038,590，“Mode-Based Graphical UserInterfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices(用于触敏输入设备的基于模式的图形用户界面)”，2005年1月18日提交；(6)美国专利申请No.11/228,758，“Virtual InputDevice Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface(放置在触摸屏用户界面上的虚拟输入设备)”，2005年9月16日提交；(7)美国专利申请No.11/228,700，“Operation Of AComputer With A Touch Screen Interface(具有触摸屏界面的计算机的操作)”，2005年9月16日提交；(8)美国专利申请No.11/228,737，“Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard(激活触摸屏虚拟键盘的虚拟键)”，2005年9月16日提交；以及(9)美国专利申请No.11/367,749，“Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device(多功能手持设备)”，2006年3月3日提交。所有这些申请全文以引用方式并入本文。
触摸屏212例如具有超过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。用户使用任何合适的对象或附加物诸如触笔、手指等与触摸屏212进行接触。在一些实施方案中，将用户界面设计为主要通过基于手指的接触和手势来工作，由于手指在触摸屏上的接触区域较大，因此这可能不如基于触笔的输入精确。在一些实施方案中，设备将基于手指的粗略输入转化为精确的指针/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，触控板是设备的触敏区域，与触摸屏不同，该触敏区域不显示视觉输出。触控板是与触摸屏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。
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、功率转换器或逆变器、电力状态指示器(例如，发光二极管(LED))和与便携式设备中电力的生成、管理和分配相关联的任何其他部件。
设备200还包括一个或多个光学传感器264。图2A示出了耦接到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(也叫做相机模块)，光学传感器264捕获静态图像或视频。在一些实施方案中，光学传感器位于设备200的后部，与设备前部的触摸屏显示器212相背对，使得触摸屏显示器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的前部，使得在用户在触摸屏显示器上查看其他视频会议参与者的同时获取该用户的图像以用于视频会议。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。

接触/运动模块230任选地检测与触摸屏212(结合显示控制器256)和其他触敏设备(例如，触摸板或物理点击式转盘)的接触。接触/运动模块230包括各种软件部件以用于执行与接触检测相关的各种操作，诸如确定是否已发生接触(例如，检测手指按下事件)、确定接触强度(例如，接触的力或压力，或者接触的力或压力的替代物)、确定是否存在接触的移动并跟踪在触敏表面上的移动(例如，检测一个或多个手指拖动事件)，以及确定接触是否已停止(例如，检测手指抬起事件或接触断开)。接触/运动模块230从触敏表面接收接触数据。确定接触点的移动任选地包括确定接触点的速率(量值)、速度(量值和方向)和/或加速度(量值和/或方向的改变)，所述接触点的移动由一系列接触数据表示。这些操作任选地被应用于单点接触(例如，单指接触)或者多点同时接触(例如，“多点触摸”/多个手指接触)。在一些实施方案中，接触/运动模块230和显示控制器256检测触控板上的接触。
在一些实施方案中，接触/运动模块230使用一组一个或多个强度阈值来确定操作是否已由用户执行(例如，确定用户是否已“点击”图标)。在一些实施方案中，根据软件参数来确定强度阈值的至少一个子集(例如，强度阈值不是由具体物理致动器的激活阈值来确定的，并且可在不改变设备200的物理硬件的情况下加以调节)。例如，在不改变触控板或触摸屏显示器硬件的情况下，触控板或触摸屏的鼠标“点击”阈值可被设定成预定义的阈值的大范围中的任一个阈值。另外，在一些具体实施中，向设备的用户提供用于调节一组强度阈值中的一个或多个强度阈值(例如，通过调节各个强度阈值和/或通过利用对“强度”参数的系统级点击来一次调节多个强度阈值)的软件设置。
接触/运动模块230任选地检测用户的手势输入。触敏表面上的不同手势具有不同的接触模式(例如，所检测到的接触的不同运动、计时和/或强度)。因此，任选地通过检测特定接触模式来检测手势。例如，检测手指轻击手势包括检测手指按下事件，然后在与手指按下事件相同的位置(或基本上相同的位置)处(例如，在图标的位置处)检测手指抬起(抬离)事件。作为另一个示例，在触敏表面上检测手指轻扫手势包括检测手指按下事件，然后检测一个或多个手指拖动事件，并且随后检测手指抬起(抬离)事件。

上述模块和应用程序中的每个对应于用于执行上述一种或多种功能以及在本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存储上述模块和数据结构的子组。此外，存储器202存储上文未描述的另外的模块和数据结构。
在一些实施方案中，设备200是该设备上的预定义的一组功能的操作唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触控板来执行的设备。通过使用触摸屏和/或触控板作为用于设备200的操作的主要输入控制设备，减少设备200上的物理输入控制设备(诸如下压按钮、拨盘等)的数量。
唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触控板来执行的预定义的一组功能任选地包括在用户界面之间的导航。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，菜单按钮是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为示出了根据一些实施方案的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接收事件信息并且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是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)应用程序当前是活动的，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包括附加信息，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，作为多点触摸手势一部分的触敏显示器212上的用户触摸)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的输入和/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。视图由用户能够在显示器上看到的控件和其他元素构成。
与应用程序相关联的用户界面的另一方面是一组视图，本文中有时也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)应用程序视图对应于应用程序的程序化分级结构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水平视图被称为命中视图，并且被认为是正确输入的事件集至少部分地基于初始触摸的命中视图来确定，该初始触摸开始基于触摸的手势。
命中视图确定模块272接收与基于触摸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，命中视图是发起子事件(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，命中视图通常就接收与被识别为命中视图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都是活跃参与的视图，并且由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，分级结构中的较高视图应当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，该应用程序视图中的每个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是独立模块的一部分，该独立模块为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较高级别的对象。在一些实施方案中，相应事件处理程序290包括以下一者或多者：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利用或调用数据更新器276、对象更新器277或GUI更新器278来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的事件处理程序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中的一个或多个包括在相应的应用程序视图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还包括元数据283和事件传递指令288(其包括子事件传递指令)的至少一个子集。
事件接收器282接收来自事件分类器270的事件信息。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，从纵向取向旋转到横向取向，或反之亦然)，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中的子事件包括例如，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，事件1(287-1)的定义是在显示的对象上的双击。例如，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离(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离(触摸结束)。在另一个示例中，事件2(287-2)的定义是被显示对象上的拖动。例如，拖动包括被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包括用于相应用程序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，在触敏显示器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，以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，所述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确定子事件系列不与事件定义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他事件识别器(如果有的话)继续跟踪并处理持续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包括元数据283，所述元数据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。在一些实施方案中，元数据283包括指示事件识别器彼此如何交互或如何能够交互的可配置属性、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发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获取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序列相关联的事件处理程序或者递送到活跃参与的视图。与子事件序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创建并更新在应用程序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用以显示在触敏显示器上。
在一些实施方案中，一个或多个事件处理程序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，上述关于触敏显示器上的用户触摸的事件处理的讨论还适用于利用输入设备操作多功能设备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；触控板上的接触移动，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。

图4中的上述元件中的每一者在一些示例中存储在一个或多个先前提到的存储器设备中。上述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)不必被实现为独立的软件程序、过程或模块，因此这些模块的各种子集在各种实施方案中组合或以其他方式重新布置。在一些实施方案中，存储器470存储上述模块和数据结构的子组。此外，存储器470存储上文未描述的另外的模块和数据结构。
现在将注意力转到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上的应用程序的菜单的示例性用户界面。类似的用户界面在设备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：

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任选地被标记为“音乐”或“音乐播放器”。对于各种应用程序图标任选地使用其他标签。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中所示。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(例如，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，但是应当理解的是，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)，之后是光标沿着轻扫的路径的移动(例如，而不是接触的移动)替代。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，代替对接触的检测，之后是停止检测接触)替代。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包括相对于设备200和400(例如，图2A-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。作为触摸屏604的替代或补充，设备600具有显示器和触敏表面。与设备200和400的情况一样，在一些实施方案中，触摸屏604(或触敏表面)具有用于检测正在施加的接触(例如，触摸)的强度的一个或多个强度传感器。触摸屏604(或触敏表面)的一个或多个强度传感器提供表示触摸的强度的输出数据。设备600的用户界面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上的不同的用户界面操作。
用于检测和处理触摸强度的技术可见于例如相关申请中：国际专利申请No.PCT/US2013/040061，标题为“Device,Method,and Graphical User Interface forDisplaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application(用于显示对应于应用的用户界面对象的设备、方法和图形用户界面)”，2013年5月8日提交；以及国际专利申请No.PCT/US2013/069483，标题为“Device,Method,and Graphical User Interfacefor Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships(用于触摸输入到显示输出之间关系转换的设备、方法和图形用户界面)”，2013年11月11日提交，这两个专利申请中的每个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)是物理形式的。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包括相对于图2A、图2B和图4所述的部件中的一些或全部部件。设备600具有总线612，该总线将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。I/O部分614被连接到显示器604，该显示器可具有触敏部件622并且任选地还具有触摸强度敏感部件624。此外，I/O部分614与通信单元630连接，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包括输入机构606和/或608。例如，输入机构606是可旋转输入设备或者可按压输入设备以及可旋转输入设备。在一些示例中，输入机构608是按钮。
在一些示例中，输入机构608是麦克风。个人电子设备600包括例如各种传感器，诸如GPS传感器632、加速度计634、方向传感器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性连接到I/O部分614。
个人电子设备600的存储器618包括用于存储计算机可执行指令的一个或多个非暂态计算机可读存储介质，该指令当由一个或多个计算机处理器616执行时例如使得计算机处理器执行上述技术和过程。该计算机可执行指令也例如在任何非暂态计算机可读存储介质内进行存储和/或传送，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。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”是指例如在设备200、400、600和/或1008(图2A、图4、图6A至图6B以及图10)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)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件。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”，使得当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中的触摸板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加以调节。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加以调节。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，焦点选择器通常是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(而不是设备显示器上示出的其他用户界面元素)。
如说明书和权利要求中所使用的，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，在检测到接触抬离之前，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)期间采集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，在特征强度是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，而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。在该示例中，接触在结束位置处的特征强度仅基于连续轻扫接触的一部分，而不是整个轻扫接触(例如，仅轻扫接触在结束位置处的部分)。在一些实施方案中，在确定接触的特征强度之前向轻扫手势的强度应用平滑算法。例如，平滑算法任选地包括以下各项中的一种或多种：不加权滑动平均平滑算法、三角平滑算法、中值滤波器平滑算法和/或指数平滑算法。在一些情况下，这些平滑算法消除了轻扫接触的强度中的窄的尖峰或凹陷，以实现确定特征强度的目的。
相对于一个或多个强度阈值诸如接触检测强度阈值、浅按压强度阈值、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，浅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摸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浅按压强度阈值(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，而不执行与浅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是一致的。
接触特征强度从低于浅按压强度阈值的强度增大到介于浅按压强度阈值与深按压强度阈值之间的强度有时被称为“浅按压”输入。接触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浅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被称为“抖动”的意外输入，其中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低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％或某个合理比例)。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，接触强度增大或接触强度减小)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。
3.数字助理系统
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、600或1008)上并通过一个或多个网络与服务器部分(例如，服务器系统108)通信，例如，如图1中所示。在一些示例中，数字助理系统700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，数字助理系统700仅为数字助理系统的一个示例，且该数字助理系统700具有比所示更多或更少的部件、组合两个或更多个部件，或者可具有部件的不同配置或布局。图7A中所示的各种部件在硬件、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)，或其组合中实现。

在一些示例中，网络通信接口708包括一个或多个有线通信端口712，以及/或者无线传输和接收电路714。一个或多个有线通信端口经由一个或多个有线接口例如以太网、通用串行总线(USB)、火线等接收和发送通信信号。无线电路714从通信网络及其他通信设备接收RF信号和/或光学信号以及将RF信号和/或光学信号发送至通信网络及其他通信设备。无线通信使用多种通信标准、协议和技术中的任一种，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使数字助理系统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。具体地讲，存储器702或存储器702的计算机可读存储介质存储用于执行上述过程的指令。一个或多个处理器704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、iOS、OS X、WINDOWS或嵌入式操作系统诸如VxWorks)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)的各种软件组件和/或驱动器，并且有利于各种硬件、固件和软件组件之间的通信。
通信模块720促成数字助理系统700与其他设备之间通过网络通信接口708进行的通信。例如，通信模块720与电子设备诸如分别在图2A、图4、图6A至图6B中所示的设备200、400或600的RF电路208通信。通信模块720还包括各种部件，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。
用户界面模块722经由I/O接口706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)传送给用户。
应用程序724包括被配置为由所述一个或多个处理器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施，则应用程序724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和语音合成处理模块740。这些模块中的每一者均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：本体论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758。
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)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任选地获得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/或在接收到用户请求时与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还向用户发送与用户请求有关的跟进问题，并从用户接收回答。在用户请求被I/O处理模块728接收且用户请求包括语音输入时，I/O处理模块728将语音输入转发至STT处理模块730(或语音识别器)以进行语音文本转换。
STT处理模块730包括一个或多个ASR系统758。该一个或多个ASR系统758可处理通过I/O处理模块728接收到的言语输入，以产生识别结果。每个ASR系统758可包括前端言语预处理器。前端语音预处理器从语音输入中提取代表性特征。例如，前端语音预处理器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。另外，每个ASR系统758包括一个或多个言语识别模型(例如，声学模型和/或语言模型)并且实现一个或多个言语识别引擎。语音识别模型的示例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包括基于动态时间规整的引擎和基于加权有限状态变换器(WFST)的引擎。使用一个或多个语音识别模型和一个或多个语音识别引擎来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、音素串和子字词)，并且最终产生文本识别结果(例如，字词、字词串或符号序列)。在一些示例中，语音输入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、设备200、设备400或设备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，或符号序列)的识别结果，识别结果就被传送至自然语言处理模块732以供意图推断。在一些示例中，STT处理模块730产生言语输入的多个候选文本表示。每个候选文本表示是与语音输入对应的字词或符号的序列。在一些示例中，每个候选文本表示与言语识别置信度得分相关联。基于语音识别置信度得分，STT处理模块730对候选文本表示进行排序并将n个最佳(例如，n个排名最高)候选文本表示提供给自然语言处理模块732以供意图推断，其中n为大于零的预先确定的整数。例如，在一个示例中，仅将排名最高的(n＝1)候选文本表示递送至自然语言处理模块732以供意图推断。又如，将5个排名最高的(n＝5)候选文本表示传递给自然语言处理模块732以供意图推断。
有关语音转文本处理的更多细节在提交于2011年9月20日的名为“ConsolidatingSpeech Recognition Results(巩固语音识别结果)”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包括可识别字词的词汇和/或经由语音字母转换模块731访问该词汇。每个词汇字词与语音识别语音字母表中表示的字词的一个或多个候选发音相关联。具体地讲，可识别字词的词汇包括与多个候选发音相关联的字词。例如，该词汇包括与和的候选发音相关联的字词“tomato”。另外，词汇字词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存储在STT处理模块730中，并且经由设备上的用户配置文件与特定用户相关联。在一些示例中，字词的候选发音基于字词的拼写以及一个或多个语言学和/或语音学规则确定。在一些示例中，候选发音手动生成，例如，基于已知的标准发音而手动生成。
在一些示例中，基于候选发音的普遍性来对候选发音进行排名。例如，候选语音的排序高于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，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序。例如，自定义候选发音的排名高于标准候选发音。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，候选发音与美国相关联，而候选发音与英国相关联。此外，候选发音的排序基于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，候选发音(与美国相关联)可比候选发音(与英国相关联)排名更高。在一些示例中，经排序的候选发音中的一个可被选作预测发音(例如，最可能的发音)。
接收到语音输入时，STT处理模块730被用来(例如，使用声音模型)确定对应于该语音输入的音素，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首先识别对应于该语音输入的一部分的音素序列那么它随后可基于词汇索引744确定该序列对应于字词“tomato”。
在一些示例中，STT处理模块730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确定音素序列对应于字词“tomato”，即使该特定音素序列不是该字词的候选音素序列。
数字助理的自然语言处理模块732(“自然语言处理器”)获取由STT处理模块730生成的n个最佳候选文字表示(“字词序列”或“符号序列”)，并尝试将候选文本表示中的每个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”(或“用户意图”)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取决于已在任务流模型754中实现并存储的任务流的数量和种类，或换言之，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(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任选地使用上下文信息来明确、补充和/或进一步限定在从STT处理模块730接收的候选文本表示中包含的信息。上下文信息包括例如用户偏好，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)，等等。如本文所述，在一些示例中，上下文信息是动态的，并且随对话的时间、位置、内容、以及其他因素而变化。
在一些示例中，自然语言处理基于例如本体论760。本体论760为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”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”代表与可执行意图或另一属性的子方面相关联的参数。本体论760中可执行意图节点与属性节点之间的连接定义由属性节点表示的参数如何从属于由可执行意图节点表示的任务。
在一些示例中，本体论760由可执行意图节点和属性节点组成。在本体论760内，每个可执行意图节点直接连接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点连接至一个或多个属性节点。类似地，每个属性节点直接连接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点连接至一个或多个可执行意图节点。例如，如图7C所示，本体论760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”均直接连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”是属性节点“餐厅”的子节点，并且均通过中间属性节点“餐厅”连接至“餐厅预订”节点(即，可执行意图节点)。又如，如图7C所示，本体论760还包括“设定提醒”节点(即，另一个可执行意图节点)。属性节点“日期/时间”(针对设定提醒)和“主题”(针对提醒)均连接至“设定提醒”节点。由于属性“日期/时间”与进行餐厅预订的任务和设定提醒的任务二者相关，因此属性节点“日期/时间”连接至本体论760中的“餐厅预订”节点和“设定提醒”节点二者。
可执行意图节点连同其链接的属性节点一起，被描述为“域”。在本讨论中，每个域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中示出的本体论760包括在本体论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”、“价格区间”、“电话号码”和“位置”。提醒域764包括可执行意图节点“设定提醒”和属性节点“主题”和“日期/时间”。在一些示例中，本体论760由多个域组成。每个域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示出本体论760内的两个示例性域，但其他域包括例如“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”域与“发送消息”可执行意图节点相关联，并且进一步包括属性节点诸如“一个或多个接收人”、“消息类型”和“消息正文”。属性节点“接收人”进一步例如由子属性节点诸如“接收人姓名”和“消息地址”来限定。
在一些示例中，本体论760包括数字助理能够理解并对其起作用的所有域(以及因而可执行意图)。在一些示例中，本体论760诸如通过添加或移除整个域或节点，或者通过修改本体论760内的节点之间的关系进行修改。
在一些示例中，将与多个相关可执行意图相关联的节点群集在本体论760中的“超级域”下。例如，“旅行”超级域包括与旅行相关的属性节点和可执行意图节点的群集。与旅行相关的可执行意图节点包括“机票预订”、“酒店预订”、“汽车租赁”、“获取路线”、“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“寻找感兴趣的点”的可执行意图节点共享属性节点“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，本体论760中的每个节点与跟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/或短语是所谓的与节点相关联的“词汇”。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代表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任选地包括不同语言的字词和短语。
自然语言处理模块732接收来自STT处理模块730的候选文本表示(例如，一个或多个文本字符串或一个或多个符号序列)，并针对每个候选表示，确定候选文本表示中的字词涉及哪些节点。在一些示例中，如果发现候选文本表示中的字词或短语(经由词汇索引744)与本体论760中的一个或多个节点相关联，则所述字词或短语“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，选择具有最多“已触发”节点的域。在一些示例中，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，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。在一些示例中，自然语言处理模块732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，针对用户请求“邀请我的朋友参加我的生日派对”，自然语言处理模块732能够访问用户数据748以确定“朋友”是哪些人以及“生日派对”应当于何时何地举行，而不需要用户在其请求中明确地提供此类信息。
应认识到，在一些示例中，利用一个或多个机器学习机构(例如，神经网络)来实现自然语言处理模块732。具体地，一个或多个机器学习机构被配置为接收候选文本表示和与候选文本表示相关联的上下文信息。基于候选文本表示和相关联的上下文信息，一个或多个机器学习机构被配置为基于一组候选可执行意图确定意图置信度得分。自然语言处理模块732可基于所确定的意图置信度得分从一组候选可执行意图中选择一个或多个候选可执行意图。在一些示例中，还利用本体论(例如，本体论760)从一组候选可执行意图中选择一个或多个候选可执行意图。
基于符号串搜索本体论的其他细节在2008年12月22日提交的名为“Method andApparatus for Searching Using An Active Ontology(使用主动本体论用于搜索的方法和装置)”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基于用户请求识别出可执行意图(或域)，自然语言处理模块732就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，并且所述参数中的至少一些参数填充有用户请求中指定的特定信息和要求。例如，用户说“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”。根据本体论，“餐厅预订”域的结构化查询包括参数诸如{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，基于当前可用信息，在结构化查询中未指定其他必要参数诸如{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识别针对从STT处理模块730所接收的每个候选文本表示的多个候选可执行意图。另外，在一些示例中，针对每个所识别的候选可执行意图生成相应的结构化查询(部分地或全部地)。自然语言处理模块732确定针对每个候选可执行意图的意图置信度得分，并基于意图置信度得分对候选可执行意图进行排序。在一些示例中，自然语言处理模块732将所生成的一个或多个结构化查询(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”)。在一些示例中，针对m个最佳(例如，m个排名最高的)候选可执行意图的一个或多个结构化查询被提供给任务流处理模块736，其中m为预先确定的大于零的整数。在一些示例中，将针对m个最佳候选可执行意图的一个或多个结构化查询连同对应的候选文本表示提供给任务流处理模块736。
基于根据语音输入的多个候选文本表示所确定的多个候选可执行意图推断用户意图的其他细节在2014年6月6日提交的名称为“System and Method for Inferring UserIntent From Speech Inputs”(用于从语音输入推断用户意图的系统和方法)的美国实用新型专利申请No.14/298,725中有所描述，其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
任务流处理模块736被配置为接收来自自然语言处理模块732的一个或多个结构化查询，(必要时)完成结构化查询，以及执行“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在任务流模型754中提供。在一些示例中，任务流模型754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需要发起与用户的附加对话，以便获取附加信息和/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调用对话流处理模块734来参与同用户的对话。在一些示例中，对话流处理器模块734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。通过I/O处理模块728将问题提供给用户并从用户接收回答。在一些示例中，对话处理模块734经由音频和/或视频输出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，在任务流处理模块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生成诸如“一行几位？”和“预订哪天？”之类的问题传递给用户。一旦收到来自用户的回答，对话流处理模块734就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就开始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根据结构化查询中包含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”的任务流模型包括用于联系餐厅并实际上请求在特定时间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咖啡馆的服务器或诸如的餐厅预订系统，(2)以网站上的形式输入日期、时间和同行人数信息，(3)提交表单，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代表任务流处理模块736发起电话呼叫、设定日历条目、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所述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，通过服务模型756中的相应服务模型指定每项服务所需的协议和应用程序编程接口(API)。服务处理模块738针对服务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)以根据在线预订服务的API的格式发送至在线预订界面。
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被共同且反复地使用，以推断并限定用户的意图、获取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。所生成的响应是至少部分地满足用户意图的对语音输入的对话响应。另外，在一些示例中，所生成的响应被输出为语音输出。在这些示例中，所生成的响应被发送到语音合成处理模块740(例如，语音合成器)，在语音合成处理模块中，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，所生成的响应是与满足语音输入中的用户请求相关的数据内容。
在任务流处理模块736接收到来自自然语言处理模块732的多个结构化查询的示例中，任务流处理模块736首先处理所接收结构化查询的第一结构化查询以试图完成第一结构化查询和/或执行由第一结构化查询所表示的一个或多个任务或动作。在一些示例中，第一结构化查询对应于排名最高的可执行意图。在其他示例中，第一结构化查询选自基于对应的语音识别置信度得分和对应的意图置信度得分的结合所接收的结构化查询。在一些示例中，如果任务流处理模块736在第一结构化查询的处理期间(例如，由于无法确定必要的参数)遇到错误，任务流处理模块736可继续选择和处理所接收结构化查询的与排名较低的可执行意图对应的第二结构化查询。例如基于对应候选文本表示的语音识别置信度得分、对应候选可执行意图的意图置信度得分、第一结构化查询中的缺失必要参数或它们的任何组合来选择第二结构化查询。
语音合成处理模块740被配置为合成用于呈现给用户的语音输出。语音合成处理模块740基于数字助理提供的文本来合成语音输出。例如，所生成的对话响应是文本串的形式。语音合成处理模块740将文本串转换成可听语音输出。语音合成处理模块740使用任何适当语音合成技术，以便从文本生成语音输出，包括但不限于：拼接合成、单元选择合成、双音素合成、域特定合成、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，语音合成处理模块740被配置为基于对应于这些字词的音素串来合成各个字词。例如，音素串与所生成的对话响应中的字词相关联。音素串存储在与字词相关联的元数据中。语音合成处理模型740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，替代使用语音合成处理模块740(或除此之外)，在远程设备(例如，服务器系统108)上执行语音合成，并且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。而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，其有可能获得比客户端合成应当实现的质量更高的语音输出。
有关数字助理的另外细节可见于：美国实用新型专利申请No.12/987,982，名称为“Intelligent Automated Assistant(智能自动化助理”，2011年1月10日提交；和美国实用新型专利申请No.13/251,088，名称为“Generating and Processing Task Items ThatRepresent Tasks to Perform(生成和处理代表要执行的任务的任务项)”，2011年9月30日提交，其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
4.用于检测数字助理的触发的过程
图8示出了根据各种示例的用于检测数字助理的触发的过程800。例如使用实现数字助理的一个或多个电子设备来执行过程800。在一些示例中，使用客户端-服务器系统(例如，系统100)来执行过程800，并且在服务器(例如，DA服务器106)和客户端设备之间以任何方式来划分过程800的框。在其他示例中，在服务器和多个客户端设备(例如，移动电话和智能手表)之间划分过程800的框。因此，虽然过程800的部分在本文中被描述为由客户端-服务器系统的特定设备执行，但应当理解，过程800不限于此。在其他示例中，仅使用客户端设备(例如，用户设备104)或仅使用多个客户端设备来执行过程800。在过程800中，一些框被任选地组合，一些框的次序被任选地改变，并且一些框被任选地省略。在一些示例中，可以结合过程800来执行额外的步骤。
在框802处，电子设备在电子设备的多个麦克风中的每一个处对音频信号进行采样以获得多个音频信号。在一些示例中，多个麦克风中的第一麦克风与第一方向相关联(例如，被配置为面向第一方向)，并且多个麦克风中的第二麦克风与不同于第一方向的第二方向相关联(例如，被配置为面向第二方向)。例如，电子设备可包括六个麦克风，并且六个麦克风中的每一个可面向不同的方向并对来自该方向的音频信号进行采样，从而总共获得六个样本音频信号。在一些示例中，电子设备可以是电话、膝上型计算机、台式计算机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备(例如，智能手表)、扬声器、机顶盒、电视、家庭自动化设备(例如，恒温器)或者其任何组合或子组合。
多个音频信号可包括由用户发出的用于触发数字助理的语音触发(例如，“嗨西丽”)，在一些示例中，随后是针对数字助理的请求(例如，“天气怎么样？”)。多个音频信号还可包括干扰信号，包括但不限于：来自竞争说话者(例如，物理上接近电子设备的用户以外的人)的语音、来自噪声源(例如，房间中的电视)的音频输出、混响等。参考图10，例如电子设备1008通过多个麦克风对多个音频信号进行采样，这些音频信号包括来自用户1000的自然语言语音输入1034(“嗨西丽，天气怎么样？”)以及来自电子设备1006的音频输出1036(“下面是历史频道”)。
在框804处，电子设备处理多个音频信号以获得多个音频流。在一些示例中，处理每个音频信号以获得相应的音频流。在其他示例中，处理多个音频信号以获得多个音频流的音频流。在一些示例中，多个音频流包括一个或多个音频波束。例如，电子设备处理多个音频信号以获得多个音频波束的单个音频波束(例如，通过波束形成技术)。在一些示例中，使用源分离技术来获得多个音频波束中的至少一个音频波束。例如，当存在多个活动音频源(例如，用户以及物理上接近电子设备的一个或多个竞争说话者)时，电子设备能够在干扰源的方向上转向空间零点，以便从感兴趣的源获得音频的独立表示。参考图10，例如电子设备1008可在电子设备1006(电视)的方向上转向空间零点，以便从用户1000获得语音输入1034的独立表示。
在一个示例性具体实施中，电子设备具有六个麦克风，麦克风中的每个对音频信号进行采样，并处理六个音频信号以获得六个音频波束。应当理解，电子设备可基于六个音频信号获得更多或更少音频波束。
在一些示例中，电子设备修改多个音频波束中的至少一个音频波束，以便在随后的语音识别分析中获得更好的语音识别结果。在一些示例中，音频波束的修改基于电子设备的硬件配置、电子设备的软件配置、音频波束的音频特性和/或用于处理音频波束的语音识别器。例如，如果已经基于与由特定类型的麦克风(例如，与电子设备的麦克风不同)采样的近场语音音频相对应的数据训练了用于处理音频波束的语音识别器(例如，STT处理模块730)，则电子设备可以修改音频波束，由此使得音频波束呈现由特定类型的麦克风采样的近场语音的音频特性(例如，通过使由硬件配置、软件配置和/或特定于电子设备的环境因素引起的音频波束的特性和/或方面最小化)。在一些示例中，电子设备进一步调节音频波束以使混响、失真和/或回声最小化。在调节音频波束之后，电子设备将多个音频波束传递到语音识别器以进行语音识别。
在框806处，电子设备基于多个音频流(例如，音频波束)确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发(例如，“嗨西丽”)。在一些示例中，确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发包括确定多个音频流中的每一个是否包括语音触发。在一些其他示例中，确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发包括确定多个音频流的任何组合或子组合是否包括语音触发。在一些示例中，多个音频流中的每一个与方向信息相关联，并且电子设备基于该方向信息确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。例如，电子设备可基于多个音频流的方向信息将多个音频流组合成单个音频流(例如，单个音频波束)，并确定该单个音频流是否包括语音触发。
在一些示例中，电子设备基于一个或多个置信得分(或触发得分)确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。电子设备可以获得与多个音频流中的一个或多个音频流相对应的一个或多个触发得分。触发得分表示触发短语(例如，“嗨西丽”)包括在音频流中的置信水平。例如，如果电子设备对音频流执行语音识别分析(例如，使用STT处理模块730)并获得触发短语作为识别结果，则电子设备可以作为语音识别过程的一部分将语音识别置信得分分配给识别结果。触发得分可以基于语音识别置信得分。在一些示例中，电子设备将多个音频流中的每一个提供给神经网络以获得相应的触发得分。
参考图10，电子设备1008检测包括语音输入1034(“嗨西丽，天气怎么样？”)的音频流中的触发短语“嗨西丽”，并为识别结果分配第一触发得分。此外，电子设备1008检测包括音频1036(“下面是历史频道”)的另一音频流中的触发短语“嗨西丽”，并为识别结果分配第二触发得分(例如，低于第一触发得分)。基于一个或多个触发得分，电子设备确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。例如，电子设备确定音频信号包括语音触发，因为最高触发得分超过预定阈值。
在一些示例中，电子设备基于与电子设备的用户(例如，被授权访问数字助理的用户)相关联的声学信息确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。例如，电子设备可以提示并从用户接收样本话语(例如，作为数字助理的设置过程或配置过程的一部分)，并且基于该样本话语获得与用户相关联的声学信息。此后，在获得音频流之后，电子设备可以通过例如确定所识别语音的声学特性(例如，韵律特性、频率、音量、音量一致性)是否与与用户相关联的声学信息一致来确定音频流包括来自用户的语音的可能性。例如，参考图10，电子设备1008可确定包括语音输入1034(“嗨西丽，天气怎么样？”)的音频波束包括触发短语，因为语音输入的声学特性与与用户1000相关联的声学信息匹配。此外，电子设备1008可确定包括音频1036(“下面是历史频道”)的另一音频流不包括触发短语，因为音频1036的声学特性与与用户1000相关联的声学信息不匹配。以这种方式，电子设备使与电子设备无关联(例如，未被授权访问电子设备)的说话者触发数字助理的情况最小化。特定于用户的声学模型的其他描述在下述文献中提供：美国专利申请No.62/505,680，“USER-SPECIFICACOUSTIC MODELS(特定于用户的声学模型)”，2017年5月12日提交，，该专利申请据此全文以引用方式并入。美国专利申请No.62/505,680描述了用于尤其是基于语音输入和由独立于用户的声学模型提供的语音结果来调节特定于用户的声学模型的示例性技术。
在一些示例中，电子设备通过对一个或多个音频流(例如，音频波束)执行语音识别和/或自然语言处理来确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。例如，电子设备可以对一个或多个音频流执行语音识别分析，以获得一个或多个语音识别结果(例如，多个字词)。此外，电子设备可以对语音识别结果执行自然语言处理，以获得一个或多个解析结果(例如，语义解析、句法解析)。此外，电子设备可以对语音识别结果执行自然语言处理，以获得一个或多个可执行意图(或用户意图的表示)。另外，对于多个所识别字词中的至少一个，电子设备可以获得指示所发出字词的声学特性和/或与所发出字词相关联的方向的信息。
此后，电子设备可以基于上述信息(例如，一个或多个所识别字词、一个或多个解析结果、一个或多个意图、与字词相关联的方向、与字词相关联的声学特性)确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。在一些示例中，基于多个字词，电子设备可以确定特定序列中的多个字词的特定组合(或子组合)是否在语义上有意义(例如，符合句法规则和/或语法规则)。此外，电子设备可以确定多个字词的特定组合(或子组合)是否与同一音频源相关联(例如，与同一方向相关联)。此外，电子设备可以确定多个字词的特定组合(或子组合)是否指示授权说话者(例如，具有与电子设备的用户的音频特性一致的音频特性)。此外，电子设备可以确定多个字词的特定组合(或子组合)是否对应于由数字助理识别的可执行意图。
在一些示例中，如果从多个音频流中识别的多个字词(或其组合或子组合)在语义上有意义、与同一音频源相关联、与同一说话者相关联并且/或者对应于数字助理的可执行意图，则电子设备确定多个音频信号对应于语音触发。例如，参考图10，电子设备1008获得包括音频1036(“下面是历史频道”)的音频波束，并确定该音频波束不包括数字助理的触发，至少因为该音频不具有与用户1000的音频特性一致的音频特性并且/或者不对应于由数字助理识别的可执行意图。
在一些示例中，电子设备通过将一个或多个候选音频流提供给验证器以进行进一步分析来确定多个音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。在一些示例中，从多个音频流中，电子设备识别一组候选音频流，候选音频流中的每个由电子设备确定以包括语音触发(例如，具有不同的置信水平)。在识别该组候选音频流之后，电子设备将该组候选音频流中的一个或多个候选音频流提供给验证器(例如，在远程设备上)。在一些示例中，验证器包括一个或多个软件模块。在一些示例中，验证器在电子设备上、在一个或多个远程电子设备上或其组合上实现。在一些示例中，验证器的至少一部分由电子设备本地提供，并且电子设备将对应于该组候选音频流的数据传递到电子设备上的软件模块。在一些其他示例中，验证器的至少一部分由远程电子设备(例如，DA服务器106)提供，并且电子设备将对应于该组候选音频流的数据发送到远程电子设备。此后，电子设备从验证器获得验证信息。
在一些示例中，一个或多个候选音频流(提供给验证器)是该组候选音频流的子集，并且电子设备使用一个或多个预定标准从该组候选音频流中选择一个或多个候选音频流。例如，电子设备可以基于与一个或多个候选音频流相关联的相应触发得分来选择一个或多个候选音频流(例如，向验证器提供具有最高触发得分的候选音频流)。作为另一个示例，电子设备可以基于与一个或多个候选音频流相关联的相应熵信息来选择一个或多个候选音频流(例如，向验证器提供具有最高熵的候选音频流)。可基于与由电子设备的STT处理模块提供的与语音触发相关的一个或多个输出(例如，与触发短语“嗨西丽”相关的后验概率)来计算与候选音频流相关联的熵信息(例如，使用STT处理模块730的深度神经网络模型)。在一些示例中，输出指示在音频流中如何“清晰地”表示触发短语。作为又一个示例，电子设备可以基于电子设备从候选音频流中的每个中检测到触发的相应时间来选择一个或多个候选音频流。例如，如果电子设备在确定第二候选音频流包括语音触发之前确定第一候选音频流包括语音触发，则电子设备可向验证器提供第一候选音频流，而不是第二候选音频流。
在框808处，根据确定多个音频信号对应于语音触发，电子设备发起数字助理的会话。在一些示例中，电子设备通过提供由数字助理输出的音频(例如，“是？”)并且/或者开始对附加音频输入进行采样来发起数字助理的会话。在一些示例中，数字助理基于与多个音频流相关联的方向信息来提供音频输出。例如，如果电子设备检测到多个音频流(音频流中的每个与方向信息相关联)中的特定音频流中的语音触发，则电子设备可以选择面向与该特定音频流相关联的方向的说话者。在框810处，根据确定多个音频信号不对应于语音触发，电子设备放弃发起数字助理的会话。
在一些示例中，根据确定多个音频信号对应于语音触发，电子设备识别多个音频流中的音频流的第一段，识别该音频流的第二段，并确定第一段和第二段是否对应于同一用户。在一些示例中，电子设备通过将与第一段相关联的声学信息与与第二段相关联的声学信息进行比较来确定第一段和第二段是否对应于同一用户。例如，参考图10，电子设备可以识别第一段“嗨西丽，天气”和第二段“怎么样”，并基于相似的声学特性确定这两段与同一用户相关联。另一方面，电子设备可以识别第一段“嗨西丽，天气”和第二段“历史频道”，并基于这两段的不同声学特性确定这两段不与同一用户相关联。
在一些示例中，电子设备通过识别与第一段相关联的第一熵、识别与第二段相关联的第二熵并将第一熵与第二熵进行比较来确定第一段和第二段是否对应于同一用户。例如，电子设备1008可以确定第一段“嗨西丽，天气”和第二段“怎么样”与同一用户相关联，因为与第一段相关联的熵与与第二段相关联的熵相似或相同。
在一些示例中，电子设备通过基于第一段和第二段识别解析结果来确定第一段和第二段是否对应于同一用户。例如，参考图10，电子设备可以识别第一段“嗨西丽，天气”、第二段“怎么样”和第三段“是历史频道”。此外，电子设备可以确定第一段和第二段的组合(即，“嗨西丽，天气怎么样”)产生语义上有意义的解析结果。因此，电子设备确定第一段和第二段与同一用户相关联。另一方面，电子设备可以确定第一段和第三段的组合(即，“嗨西丽，是历史信道”)在语义上没有意义，因此这两段不与同一用户相关联。在一些示例中，根据确定第一段和第二段对应于同一用户，电子设备例如基于第一段和第二段的声学特性进一步确定该用户是否是电子设备的授权用户(例如，被授权访问数字助理)。在一些示例中，基于第一段和第二段，电子设备获得用户意图(或用户意图的表示)。
在一些示例中，基于多个音频流，电子设备选择一组麦克风以对后续音频输入进行采样。例如，如果电子设备从多个音频流中的一个或多个音频流检测到语音触发，则电子设备可以选择对应于该一个或多个音频流的一个或多个麦克风以对后续音频信号进行采样。例如，参考图10，如果电子设备1008从与朝向用户1000的方向相关联的特定音频波束检测到语音触发“嗨西丽”，则电子设备可以选择对应于该音频波束的一个或多个麦克风以对后续音频信号进行采样。在一些示例中，如果麦克风与音频波束的方向相关联(例如，被配置为面向音频波束的方向)并且/或者麦克风已对形成音频波束的音频信号进行采样，则麦克风对应于该音频波束。此外，电子设备1008可禁用电子设备上的其余麦克风(例如，持续预定的时间段)。此外，电子设备1008可抑制与不同于用户1000的说话者相关联的任何音频信号的识别和解释(例如，通过分配低语音识别置信得分、低意图置信得分)。
在一些示例中，如果电子设备确定与感兴趣的音频源相关联的方向已经改变(例如，用户1000在房间内四处走动)，则电子设备可选择不同组的麦克风来对后续音频信号进行采样。该组麦克风的选择可基于由电子设备采样的音频信号的方向信息或基于检测到的用户的物理存在进行。检测人的物理存在的其他描述在下述文献中提供：美国专利申请62/506,981，“INTELLIGENT AUTOMATED ASSISTANT FOR MEDIA EXPLORATION(智能自动化媒体探索助手)”，2017年5月16日提交，该专利申请据此全文以引用方式并入。美国专利申请62/506,981描述了用于尤其是例如通过检测与人相关联的电子设备和/或通过检测人的语音特征来检测人的物理存在的示例性技术。
应当理解，上述技术是用于由电子设备处理音频信号的示例性技术。因此，上述技术可以用于检测数字助理的触发以及用于处理由电子设备采样的任何后续音频信号。例如，上述技术可以用于选择麦克风以对音频信号进行采样(例如，当用户在房间内四处走动时)，选择扬声器以提供音频输出，以确定音频信号是否包括来自授权用户的对数字助理的请求，以及确定两个音频段是否与同一用户和/或同一用户请求相关联。
在一些示例中，电子设备基于由另一电子设备采样的音频信号来检测数字助理的触发。在一些示例中，电子设备是第一电子设备，并且从第二电子设备接收对应于在第二电子设备处检测到的音频信号的信息。在一些示例中，第二电子设备与不同于第一电子设备的设备类型相关联。参考图10，例如电子设备1008可以从电子设备1002(例如，智能手表)接收对应于在电子设备1002处检测到的音频信号的信息。在所描绘的示例中，电子设备1008具有比电子设备1002更多的处理能力(例如，更多的本地存储器)。
在一些示例中，从第二电子设备接收的信息包括：在第二电子设备处检测到的音频信号的方向信息、与第二电子设备相关联的设备类型、第二电子设备的一个或多个麦克风的位置信息、在第二电子设备处检测到的音频信号的一部分或其任何组合。基于该信息，第一电子设备确定在第二电子设备处检测到的音频信号是否对应于语音触发。参考图10，例如电子设备1008可以从电子设备1002接收包括以下各项的信息：电子设备1002(例如，智能手表)的设备类型、麦克风在电子设备1002上的位置(例如，GPS坐标)和被采样信号(例如，对应于语音输入1034)的方向信息。基于所接收的信息，电子设备1008可以确定在电子设备1002处检测到的音频信号是否包括语音触发。电子设备1008还可以将在电子设备1002处检测到的音频信号与在本地检测到的任何音频信号组合，以确定是否可以从组合音频信号中检测到语音触发。
以上参考图8描述的操作任选地由图1至图4、图6A至图6B以及图7A至图7C描绘的部件来实现。例如，过程800的操作可由本文所述的任何设备(或其部件)实现，包括但不限于设备104、200、400、600和1008。本领域的普通技术人员应当清楚地知道如何基于在图1至图4、图6A至图6B以及图7A至图7C中所描绘的部件来实现其他过程。
图9示出了根据各种示例的用于检测数字助理的触发的过程900。例如使用实现数字助理的一个或多个电子设备来执行过程900。在一些示例中，使用客户端-服务器系统(例如，系统100)来执行过程900，并且在服务器(例如，DA服务器106)和客户端设备之间以任何方式来划分过程900的框。在其他示例中，在服务器和多个客户端设备(例如，移动电话和智能手表)之间划分过程900的框。因此，虽然过程900的部分在本文中被描述为由客户端-服务器系统的特定设备执行，但应当理解，过程900不限于此。在其他示例中，仅使用客户端设备(例如，用户设备104)或仅使用多个客户端设备来执行过程900。在过程900中，一些框被任选地组合，一些框的次序被任选地改变，并且一些框被任选地省略。在一些示例中，可以结合过程900来执行额外的步骤。
在框902处，第一电子设备使用第一电子设备的第一麦克风对第一音频信号进行采样。在框904处，第二电子设备使用第二电子设备的第二麦克风对第二音频信号进行采样。第二电子设备与第一电子设备不同。在一些示例中，第一电子设备和第二电子设备中的每一者可以是电话、膝上型计算机、台式计算机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备(例如，智能手表)、扬声器、机顶盒、电视、家庭自动化设备(例如，恒温器)或者其任何组合或子组合。参考图10，例如电子设备1004(电话)使用设备1004上的麦克风对第一音频信号进行采样，并且电子设备1002(智能手表)使用设备1002上的不同麦克风对第二音频信号进行采样。
在框906处，第三电子设备确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号中的任一个是否对应于语音触发。第三电子设备可以是第一电子设备和第二电子设备中的一者(例如，电话1004和智能手表1002中的一者)、不同于第一电子设备和第二电子设备的电子设备(例如，扬声器1008)或远程设备(例如，DA服务器106)。在一些示例中，第三电子设备(例如，扬声器1008)是不同于第二电子设备(例如，智能手表1002)的设备类型。在一些示例中，第三电子设备具有比第一电子设备和/或第二电子设备更多的处理能力。
在一些示例中，第三电子设备获得对应于第一音频信号和第二音频信号的信息。该信息可以包括：第一麦克风和/或第二麦克风的位置信息、第一音频信号和/或第二音频信号的方向信息、与第一电子设备和/或第二电子设备相关联的设备类型或其任何组合。基于所获得的信息，第三电子设备确定第一音频信号、第二音频信号以及/或者第一音频信号和第二音频信号的组合是否对应于语音触发。在一些示例中，第三电子设备使用上文关于图8描述的任何技术来进行确定。
在框908处，根据确定第一音频信号或第二音频信号对应于语音触发，第四电子设备发起数字助理的会话。在框910处，根据确定第一音频信号和第二音频信号不对应于语音触发，第四电子设备放弃发起数字助理的会话。
第四电子设备可以是第一电子设备(例如，电话1004)、第二电子设备(例如，智能手表1002)、第三电子设备(例如，扬声器1008)或不同的电子设备中的任一者。在一些示例中，发起数字助理的会话包括由数字助理提供音频输出(例如，“你好”)。在一些示例中，第四电子设备基于第一音频信号和第二音频信号获得与音频源(例如，用户1000)相关联的方向信息，并基于该方向信息提供音频输出。
例如，参考图10，电子设备1008(扬声器)基于由电子设备1004(电话)采样的第一音频信号和由电子设备1002(智能手表)采样的第二音频信号确定产生语音输入1034的方向(例如，朝向用户1000的方向)。此后，电子设备1008使用与音频源的方向相关联(例如，被配置为面向频源的方向)的扬声器来提供音频输出(例如，“外面天气……”)，同时放弃使用电子设备1008上的其余扬声器来提供音频输出。
以上参考图9描述的操作任选地由图1至图4、图6A至图6B以及图7A至图7C描绘的部件来实现。例如，过程900的操作可由本文所述的任何设备(或其部件)实现，包括但不限于设备104、200、400、600和1008。本领域的普通技术人员应当清楚地知道如何基于在图1至图4、图6A至图6B以及图7A至图7C中所描绘的部件来实现其他过程。
