Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing voice control using multiple digital assistants. In some embodiments, a voice platform operates to receive a voice input from a user. The voice platform selects a digital assistant from a plurality of digital assistants based on a trigger word. The voice platform then generates an intent from the voice input using the selected digital assistant. The voice platform then transmits the intent to a media device for processing.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for providing voice control using multiple digital assistants, comprising:
- selecting, by at least one processor, a first digital assistant from a plurality of digital assistants to process a voice input using a trigger word in the voice input, wherein the selected first digital assistant is mapped to the trigger word;
- determining that a second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants is unmapped to the trigger word, and that the second digital assistant processes an intent associated with the voice input more often than the selected first digital assistant;
- and
- selecting the second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants to process the voice input based on the determining.
A voice platform, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- select a first digital assistant from a plurality of digital assistants to process a voice input using a trigger word in the voice input, wherein the selected first digital assistant is mapped to the trigger word;
- determine that a second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants is unmapped to the trigger word, and that the second digital assistant processes an intent associated with the voice input more often than the selected first digital assistant;
- and
- select the second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants to process the voice input based on the determining.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting a voice input to a voice platform, wherein the voice platform selects a first digital assistant from a plurality of digital assistants to process the voice input using a trigger word in the voice input, determines that a second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants is unmapped to the trigger word, and that the second digital assistant processes an intent associated with the voice input more often than the selected first digital assistant, and selects the second digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants to process the voice input based on the determining;
- and
- receiving the intent from the voice platform.
