Intelligent list reading
First Claim
1. An electronic device for operating a digital assistant, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;
receive a spoken user request associated with a plurality of data items;
determine whether a degree of specificity of the spoken user request is less than a threshold level;
in response to determining that a degree of specificity of the spoken user request is less than a threshold level;
determine one or more attributes related to the spoken user request, the one or more attributes not defined in the spoken user request;
obtain a list of data items based on the spoken user request and the one or more attributes;
generate a spoken response comprising a subset of the list of data items; and
provide the spoken response.

Abstract
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant to perform intelligent list reading are provided. In one example process, a spoken user request associated with a plurality of data items is received. The process determines whether a degree of specificity of the spoken user request is less than a threshold level. In response to determining that a degree of specificity of the spoken user request is less than a threshold level, one or more attributes related to the spoken user request are determined. The one or more attributes are not defined in the spoken user request. Additionally, a list of data items based on the spoken user request and the one or more attributes is obtained. A spoken response comprising a subset of the list of data items is generated and the spoken response is provided.
