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.

To read this article in full (or see the patent in its entirety), click here.

The carbon graphite woofers and mid-bass drivers help create a smooth, linear response, and the gold-plated binding posts offer a secure connection. The spring-loaded binding posts offer fast and simple hook-up, and the 3” polymer cone woofers and three 1” pivoting liquid-cooled titanium dome tweeter with plasma vapor treatment offer a pristine sound. It’s also internally braced to eliminate distortion at all volume levels, and includes a Flush Fit™ wall bracket for horizontal mounting and threaded inserts that accept after-market pivot bracket wall mounts.
At just under 10 pounds and created by a more than 30-year-young company, these speakers make a great investment. Check out more of our Home Theater offerings, or head over to the Pinnacle web page.
