US 11,900,941 B1 · Remote initiation of commands for user devices

Abstract

This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for improving the integration of voice-interaction experiences to mobile devices, and improving user experience when interacting with mobile devices that provide voice-interaction experiences. A remote system may detect an event that indicates that a mobile device is to perform an action. The remote system may determine the mobile device is not connected to the remote system, and send a push-notification message to prompt the mobile device to establish a network connection with the remote system. The mobile device may send device-context data to the remote system that indicates a role of a periphery device connected to the mobile device. Depending on the role of the periphery device and the action to be performed by the mobile device, the remote system may send a command to the mobile device using the open network connection to cause the mobile device to perform the action.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving user input data requesting to establish a routine;
based at least in part on the user input data, requesting identification of an environmental condition to associate with the routine;
generating first data to associate with the routine, the first data indicating that context data is to be requested for the environmental condition when a prescheduled event occurs;
identifying a first occurrence of the prescheduled event associated with the context data, the prescheduled event to cause a first device to perform an action when the context data satisfies the environmental condition;
determining the context data associated with the first device indicates the environmental condition is satisfied;
generating, based at least in part on the context data satisfying the environmental condition, a command configured to cause the first device to perform the action;
and
sending the command to the first device.

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving user input data requesting to establish a routine;
based at least in part on the user input data, requesting identification of an environmental condition to associate with the routine;
generating first data to associate with the routine, the first data indicating that context data is to be requested for the environmental condition when a prescheduled event occurs:
identifying a first occurrence of the prescheduled event associated with the context data, the prescheduled event to cause a first device to perform an action when the context data satisfies the environmental condition;
determining the context data associated with the first device indicates the environmental condition is satisfied;
generating, based at least in part on the context data satisfying the environmental condition, a command configured to cause the first device to perform the action;
and
sending the command to the first device.
