Hot Industry News: Apples Files Patent Application for ‘Intelligent Automated Assistant’

Apple made a move to try and protect what we assume is its beloved Siri today by filing a patent on the voice navigation system. The patent describs an “intelligent  Automated Assistant”, with a description detailing an application that is guided through the user’s speech. Yup, sounds like Siri.

The patent then describes how ‘user intent’ is carried out, either by launching an additional app or performing a specific function. The commands are also described pretty thoroughly, with examples of anchor text that could be used by the automated assistant to understand what exactly it is you’re asking.
