Abstract: Methods and systems related to interfaces for interacting with a digital assistant in a desktop environment are disclosed. In some embodiments, a digital assistant is invoked on a user device by a gesture following a predetermined motion pattern on a touch-sensitive surface of the user device. In some embodiments, a user device selectively invokes a dictation mode or a command mode to process a speech input depending on whether an input focus of the user device is within a text input area displayed on the user device. In some embodiments, a digital assistant performs various operations in response to one or more objects being dragged and dropped onto an iconic representation of the digital assistant displayed on a graphical user interface. In some embodiments, a digital assistant is invoked to cooperate with the user to complete a task that the user has already started on a user device.

Abstract translation: 公开了与桌面环境中与数字助理进行交互的接口相关的方法和系统。 在一些实施例中，通过在用户设备的触敏表面上的预定运动模式之后的手势在用户设备上调用数字助理。 在一些实施例中，用户设备根据用户设备的输入焦点是否在用户设备上显示的文本输入区域内选择性地调用听写模式或命令模式来处理语音输入。 在一些实施例中，数字助理响应于一个或多个对象被拖放到在图形用户界面上显示的数字助理的标志性表示上执行各种操作。 在一些实施例中，调用数字助理以与用户协作以完成用户已经在用户设备上启动的任务。
