Tap to Initiate a Next Action for User Requests
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a first touch gesture on a touch interface of a user-facing computing device, and responsively sending a speech-segment message to a hybrid response system, wherein the speech-segment message comprises an initial query corresponding to a speech segment in audio data captured at the user-facing computing device;
receiving, at the user-facing computing device, a response message comprising both;
(a) an answer to the initial query, and (b) an indication of a next action to be cued as an anticipated response to a follow-up request related to the answer to the initial query; and
in response to receiving the response message, the user-facing computing device;
(a) displaying a first screen indicating the answer to the initial query, and(b) while displaying the first screen interface, detecting touchpad data corresponding to a second touch gesture on the touch interface and responsively initiating and displaying a second screen interface corresponding to the next action.

Abstract
Embodiments may relate to intuitive user-interface features for a head-mountable device (HMD), in the context of a hybrid human and computer-automated response system. An illustrative method may involve a head-mountable device (HMD) that comprises a touchpad: (a) sending a speech-segment message to a hybrid response system, wherein the speech-segment message is indicative of a speech segment that is detected in audio data captured at the HMD, and wherein the speech-segment is associated with a first user-account with the hybrid response system, (b) receiving a response message that includes a response to the speech-segment message and an indication of a next action corresponding to the response to the speech-segment message, (c) displaying a screen interface that includes an indication of the response, and (d) while displaying the response, detecting a singular touch gesture and responsively initiating the at least one next action.

12. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one microphone configured to provide an audio signal based on speech detected at the computing device; a touch interface; a control system configured to; detect a first touch gesture on the touch interface and responsively send a speech-segment message to a hybrid response system, wherein the speech-segment message comprises an initial query corresponding to a speech segment in audio data captured using the at least one microphone; receiving a response message comprising both;
(a) an answer to the initial query, and (b) an indication of a next action to be cued as an anticipated response to a follow-up request related to the answer to the initial query; andin response to receipt of the response message;
(a) display a first screen interface indicating the answer to the initial query, and (b) while displaying the first screen interface, detect touch data corresponding to a second touch gesture on the touch interface and responsively initiate and display a second screen interface corresponding to the next action. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the computing device of a user-facing computing device to perform functions comprising:
-
detecting a first touch gesture on a touch interface of a user-facing computing device, and responsively sending a speech-segment message to a hybrid response system, wherein the speech-segment message comprises an initial query corresponding to a speech segment in audio data captured at the user-facing computing device; receiving, at the user-facing computing device, a response message comprising both;
(a) an answer to the initial query, and (b) an indication of a next action to be cued as an anticipated response to a follow-up request related to the answer to the initial query; andin response to receiving the response message, the user-facing computing device; (a) displaying a first screen interface indicating the answer to the initial query, and (b) while displaying the first screen interface, detecting touchpad data corresponding to a second touch gesture on the touch interface and responsively initiating and displaying a second screen interface corresponding to the next action. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method carried out by a head-mountable device comprising:
-
sending a speech-segment message to a hybrid response system in response to detecting a first singular touch gesture on a touchpad of the head-mountable device (HMD), wherein the HMD comprises a near-eye display, and wherein the touchpad is located on a side-arm of the HMD, wherein the speech-segment message is indicative of a speech segment detected in audio data captured at the HMD by at least one microphone, wherein the speech-segment is associated with a first user-account with the hybrid response system, and wherein the speech-segment message comprises an initial query; receiving, at the HMD, a response message from the hybrid response system, wherein the response message comprises;
both (a) an answer to the initial query and (b) an indication of a next action, wherein the next action is an anticipated actionable follow-up request related to the answer of the initial query; andin response to receiving the response message; displaying, on the HMD, a first card interface that includes an indication of the answer to the initial query; and while displaying the first card interface that indicates the answer to the initial query, detecting touchpad data corresponding to a second singular touch gesture on the touchpad and responsively initiating the next action corresponding to the anticipated follow-up request originally indicated in the response message by displaying a second card interface of a cued next action.
