US 2026/0300421 A1 · USING FRAMES FOR ACTION DIALOGS

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using frames for performing tasks. One of the methods includes receiving a first request to perform a task, the first request comprising user speech identifying the task; generating a frame associated with the task, wherein the frame comprises one or more types of values necessary to perform the task, and wherein each type of value can be satisfied by a respective value; receiving a second request to provide information related to a question, the second request comprising user speech identifying the question; providing information identifying the question to a search engine, and receiving a response identifying one or more terms; determining that at least one term can satisfy a type of value necessary to perform the task; and storing the at least one term in the frame.

Dependent claims

A method implemented by one or more processors, comprising:

receiving, based on user input provided at a client device, a request, wherein the request is to perform a task;
determining, based on the request to perform the task, that performing the task requires one or more values;
causing output to be provided for presentation to the user, via the client device, that solicits the user for one or more of the values required to perform the task;
receiving additional user interface input provided at the client device responsive to the output that solicits the user for one or more of the values;
identifying, based on processing the additional user input, one or more of the values required to perform the task;
and
causing the task to be performed utilizing one or more of the values that are identified based on processing the additional user input.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more of the processors to:

receive, based on user input provided at a client device, a request, wherein the request is to perform a task;
determine, based on the request to perform the task, that performing the task requires one or more values;
cause output to be provided for presentation to the user, via the client device, that solicits the user for one or more of the values required to perform the task;
receive additional user interface input provided at the client device responsive to the output that solicits the user for one or more of the values;
identify, based on processing the additional user input, one or more of the values required to perform the task;
and
cause the task to be performed utilizing one or more of the values that are identified based on processing the additional user input.
