Suggesting Intent Frame(S) For User Request(S)

View page
US Patent:
20130158980, Jun 20, 2013
Filed:
Dec 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/327305
Inventors:
Shane J. Landry - Woodinville WA, US
Anne K. Sullivan - San Francisco CA, US
Lisa J. Stifelman - Palo Alto CA, US
Adam D. Elman - Sunnyvale CA, US
Larry Paul Heck - Los Altos CA, US
Sarangarajan Parthasarathy - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/27
US Classification:
704 9
Abstract:
Techniques are described herein that are capable of suggesting intent frame(s) for user request(s). For instance, the intent frame(s) may be suggested to elicit a request from a user. An intent frame is a natural language phrase (e.g., a sentence) that includes at least one carrier phrase and at least one slot. A slot in an intent frame is a placeholder that is identified as being replaceable by one or more words that identify an entity and/or an action to indicate an intent of the user. A carrier phrase in an intent frame includes one or more words that suggest a type of entity and/or action that is to be identified by the one or more words that may replace the corresponding slot. In accordance with these techniques, the intent frame(s) are suggested in response to determining that natural language functionality of a processing system is activated.

Abstract:
Techniques are described herein that are capable of satisfying specified intent(s) based on multimodal request(s). A multimodal request is a request that includes at least one request of a first type and at least one request of a second type that is different from the first type. Example types of request include but are not limited to a speech request, a text command, a tactile command, and a visual command. A determination is made that one or more entities in visual content are selected in accordance with an explicit scoping command from a user. In response, speech understanding functionality is automatically activated, and audio signals are automatically monitored for speech requests from the user to be processed using the speech understanding functionality.

H04W 8/00
Abstract:
Wireless access management techniques for wirelessly-accessible devices are described. In one embodiment, for example, at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may comprise a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to identify a connection request of a mobile client based on a received connection establishment message, determine whether the connection request comprises an automatic connection request based on request attribute information contained in the connection establishment message, and in response to a determination that the connection request comprises an automatic connection request, generate a prompt for a confirmation that the connection request is to be granted. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
