First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a set of one or more actions that are associated with an utterance of a hotword;
identifying a subset of the one or more actions that are to be associated with a partial utterance of the hotword, wherein the subset of actions includes one or more actions whose respective results are not discernible to a user of a computing device that performs the actions;
associating the subset of actions with the partial utterance of the hotword; and
causing one or more actions of the subset of actions to be performed upon receiving the partial utterance of the hotword.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, receiving audio data; determining that an initial portion of the audio data corresponds to an initial portion of a hotword; in response to determining that the initial portion of the audio data corresponds to the initial portion of the hotword, selecting, from among a set of one or more actions that are performed when the entire hotword is detected, a subset of the one or more actions; and causing one or more actions of the subset to be performed.

7. A system comprising:
one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; identifying a set of one or more actions that are associated with an utterance of a hotword; identifying a subset of the one or more actions that are to be associated with a partial utterance of the hotword, wherein the subset of actions includes one or more actions whose respective results are not discernible to a user of a computing device that performs the actions; associating the subset of actions with the partial utterance of the hotword; and causing one or more actions of the subset of actions to be performed upon receiving the partial utterance of the hotword. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying a set of one or more actions that are associated with an utterance of a hotword; identifying a subset of the one or more actions that are to be associated with a partial utterance of the hotword, wherein the subset of actions includes one or more actions whose respective results are not discernible to a user of a computing device that performs the actions; associating the subset of actions with the partial utterance of the hotword; and causing one or more actions of the subset of actions to be performed upon receiving the partial utterance of the hotword. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
