PROACTIVE INCORPORATION OF UNSOLICITED CONTENT INTO HUMAN-TO-COMPUTER DIALOGS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, that in an existing human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user during the human-to-computer dialog session;
identifying, by one or more of the processors, based on one or more characteristics of the user, information of potential interest to the user or one or more actions of potential interest to the user;
generating, by one or more of the processors, unsolicited content indicative of the information of potential interest to the user or the one or more actions of potential interest; and
incorporating, by the automated assistant into the existing human-to-computer dialog session, the unsolicited content;
wherein at least the incorporating is performed in response to the determining that the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user during the human-to-computer dialog session.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described related to automated assistants that proactively incorporate, into human-to-computer dialog sessions, unsolicited content of potential interest to a user. In various implementations, in an existing human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, it may be determined that the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user. Based on characteristic(s) of the user, information of potential interest to the user or action(s) of potential interest to the user may be identified. Unsolicited content indicative of the information of potential interest to the user or the action(s) may be generated and incorporated by the automated assistant into the existing human-to-computer dialog session. In various implementations, the incorporating may be performed in response to the determining that the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user during the human-to-computer dialog session.

11. A system comprising one or more processors and memory operably coupled with the one or more processors, and one or more audio output devices operably coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores instructions that, in response to execution of the instructions by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to operate an automated assistant to:
-
determine, based on one or more signals, that a user is within earshot of the one or more audio output devices; identify, based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the user, information of potential interest to the user or one or more actions of potential interest to the user; generate unsolicited content indicative of the information of potential interest or the one or more actions of potential interest; and incorporate, into an audible human-to-computer dialog session between the automated assistant and the user, the unsolicited content; wherein at least the incorporation is performed by the automated assistant in response to the determination that the user is within earshot of the one or more audio output devices. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
