Abstract

Techniques for using validated communications identifiers of a user's communications profile to resolve entries in another user's contact list are described. When a user imports a contact list, the contact list may include multiple entities related to the same person. The system may identify one of the entries in the contact list that corresponds to a validated communications identifier stored in another user's communications profile. The system may identify other validated communications identifiers in the other user's communications profile and cross-reference them against the entries of the contact list. If the system determines the contact list includes entries for the different validated communications identifiers of the other user, the system may consolidate the entries into a single entry associated with the other user.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving input audio data corresponding to an utterance;
performing speech processing on the input audio data to determine a request to establish a communication session with an intended recipient represented by a name included in the utterance;
determining a first communications profile associated with the input audio data;
determining, using contact list data associated with the first communications profile, a first entry corresponding to the name, the first entry associated with a first communications identifier;
in response to determining the first entry, determining a second communications profile of the intended recipient;
determining the second communications profile is associated with a second communications identifier, the second communications identifier being unavailable in the contact list data associated with the first communications profile;
and
causing a first communications session to be established using the second communications identifier instead of the first communications identifier.

5 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive input audio data corresponding to an utterance;
perform speech processing on the input audio data to determine a request to establish a communication session with an intended recipient represented by a name included in the utterance;
determine a first communications profile associated with the input audio data;
determine, using contact list data associated with the first communications profile, a first entry corresponding to the name, the first entry associated with a first communications identifier;
in response to determining the first entry, determine a second communications profile of the intended recipient;
determine the second communications profile is associated with a second communications identifier, the second communications identifier being unavailable in the contact list data associated with the first communications profile;
and
cause a first communications session to be established using the second communications identifier instead of the first communications identifier.
