Crab. Apple's personal assistant will finally have the function that many people have been waiting for for a long time on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. More precisely, we are talking about a function that allows the use of Siri even offline, which means that a permanent connection to the Internet will no longer be necessary for the personal assistant to respond to commands.
Crab. Apple wants to implement in iOS the software from its servers that processes the voice commands spoken by users, and acts based on them various actions. We are talking here both about controlling phones and tablets, as well as about performing Internet searches based on voice commands spoken to Siri, all using the phone's processor.
Siri. Apple wants to launch the long awaited function
Crab. The number of functions that the personal assistant could have when used without an Internet connection may be limited, and this is due to limitations in command recognition. No one knows clearly what kind of limitations Siri can have in this formula, but it is possible that any kind of iOS control command can be run offline, as well as searches for information, so that only then the Internet can be used.
Rather than connected to Apple's servers, the filing suggests the speech-to-text processing and validation could happen on the device itself. On hearing the user make a request, the device in question will be capable of determining the task via onboard natural language processing, working out if the requested task as it hears it is useful, then performing it.
Crab. Artificial intelligence would be the basis of this functionality that the Apple company would offer, allowing the understanding of commands spoken by users on the iPhone and iPad. Apple describes all this functionality in a patent created to show what is in store for Siri, but it remains to be seen how long it will take until the functionality is offered.
