Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, from a first device, first audio data representing a spoken natural language input;
determining a user identifier associated with the first audio data;
sending, by an orchestrator component and to a first processing component, first data representing the orchestrator component will be sending a first plurality of data types to the first processing component to enable the first processing component to select, from among a plurality of processing components, a processing component configured to determine a response to the spoken natural language input;
after sending the first data, sending, by the orchestrator component, the user identifier to the first processing component;
performing automatic speech recognition (ASR) processing on the first audio data to determine ASR output data;
performing natural language understanding (NLU) processing on the ASR output data to determine NLU output data;
after sending the first data and the user identifier, sending, by the orchestrator component, the NLU output data to the first processing component;
after sending the NLU output data and the user identifier, sending, by the orchestrator component and to the first processing component, second data representing the first processing component has received all of the first plurality of data types to be sent to the first processing component by the orchestrator component;
after sending the second data, receiving, from the first processing component, third data representing a second processing component is to determine the response to the spoken natural language input; and
causing the second processing component to determine the response to the spoken natural language input.
