Abstract:
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a plurality of microphones, sampling, at each of the plurality of microphones of the electronic device, an audio signal to obtain a plurality of audio signals; processing the plurality of audio signals to obtain a plurality of audio streams; and determining, based on the plurality of audio streams, whether any of the plurality of audio signals corresponds to a spoken trigger. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals corresponds to the spoken trigger, initiating a session of the digital assistant; and in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals does not correspond to the spoken trigger, foregoing initiating a session of the digital assistant.

Claim (Index 1):
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of one or more electronic devices, cause the one or more electronic devices to:\n sample, using a first microphone of a first electronic device, a first audio signal; sample, using a second microphone of a second electronic device different from the first electronic device, a second audio signal; determine, at a third electronic device different from the first electronic device and the second electronic device, whether any of the first audio signal and the second audio signal corresponds to a spoken trigger; obtain directional information associated with an audio source based on the first audio signal and the second audio signal;\n in accordance with a determination that the first audio signal or the second audio signal correspond to a spoken trigger:\n initiate, by a fourth electronic device, a session of the digital assistant, wherein initiating the session of the digital assistant comprises providing, by the digital assistant, an audio output based on the directional information; \n \n in accordance with a determination that the first audio signal and the second audio signal do not correspond to the spoken trigger:\n forego, by the fourth electronic device, initiating a session of the digital assistant.
