G06F 3/16

Abstract:

Implementations set forth herein allow a user to access a first application in a foreground of a graphical interface, and simultaneously employ an automated assistant to respond to notifications arising from a second application. The user can provide an input, such as a spoken utterance, while viewing the first application in the foreground in order to respond to notifications from the second application without performing certain intervening steps that can arise under certain circumstances. Such intervening steps can include providing a user confirmation, which can be bypassed, and/or time-limited according to a timer, which can be displayed in response to the user providing a responsive input directed at the notification. A period for the timer can be set according to one or more characteristics that are associated with the notification, the user, and/or any other information that can be associated with the user receiving the notification.

Abstract:

A computer device may receive a search query from a user of a user device, determine that the search query is a people-related question, and identify, using a data structure, a set of people related to the search query, where the data structure is associated with the user, and where the data structure stores people-related data for a group of people with which the user is associated. The computer device may also determine whether to provide information relating to the set of people, and selectively provide, to the user device, one of a first document or a second document. The first document identifies at least one person in the set of people and provides information relating to the at least one person, where the information, relating to the at least one person, provides an answer to the people-related question. The second document excludes information relating to the set of people.
