US 12,614,548 B2 · Pre-emptively initializing an automated assistant routine and/or dismissing a scheduled alarm

Abstract

Implementations set forth herein relate to initializing performance of an automated assistant routine and/or dismissing an alarm pre-emptively according to satisfaction of one or more conditions. A condition can be satisfied by a user acknowledging the alarm when the alarm is going off, or causing the alarm to be dismissed prior to a time at which the alarm was scheduled for. The user can cause the alarm to be dismissed pre-emptively by interacting with the automated assistant prior to the time the alarm was scheduled for and/or interacting with a device, which is known to the automated assistant, prior to the time that the alarm was scheduled for. In this way, actions that cause an alarm to be dismissed can be recognized and used to initialize other processes, such as an automated assistant routine, thereby reducing a number of inputs needed from a user.

Dependent claims

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

generating, based on first user input at a computing device, a setting for performing an action in response to a plurality of conditions being satisfied, the conditions including that one or more particular devices are being controlled and are being controlled by a particular user,
wherein the computing device provides access to an automated assistant and the first user input is received at an automated assistant interface of the computing device;
subsequent to generating the setting:
determining, based on processing sensor data received at the computing device and/or at an additional computing device, that the plurality of conditions of the setting are satisfied, including determining that the one or more particular devices are being controlled and are being controlled by the particular user;
and
in response to determining that the plurality of conditions of the setting are satisfied:
causing the action to be performed.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

memory storing instructions;
one or more processors operable to execute the instructions to:
generate, based on first user input, a setting for performing an action in response to a plurality of conditions being satisfied, the conditions including that one or more particular devices are being controlled and are being controlled by a particular user,
wherein the first user input is received at an automated assistant interface;
subsequent to generating the setting:
determine, based on processing sensor data received at a computing device, that the plurality of conditions of the setting are satisfied, including determining that the one or more particular devices are being controlled and are being controlled by the particular user;
and
in response to determining that the plurality of the conditions of the setting are satisfied:
cause the action to be performed.

6 more elements

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

generating, based on first user input at an assistant interface of an automated assistant, a setting for performing an automated assistant routine when a wake alarm is dismissed,
wherein performing the automated assistant routine includes causing multiple different actions, that are in addition to rendering of the wake alarm, to be initialized by the automated assistant;
subsequent to generating the setting for performing the automated assistant routine:
receiving, via an assistant interface of a computing device, second user input that specifies a particular wake alarm;
setting the particular wake alarm based on receiving the second user input;
determining, during a rendering of the particular wake alarm that occurs after setting of the particular wake alarm, a dismissal of the particular wake alarm;
in response to determining the dismissal of the particular wake alarm, and based on the setting being for performing an automated assistant routine when a wake alarm is dismissed:
initializing the multiple different actions of the automated assistant routine.
