Following the release of the Pixel 4 seriesPossible hardware and functional specificationsafter,9to5Google websiteIt was also revealed that the upcoming Pixel 4 series will support faster wake-up of the Google Assistant digital assistant service.
Generally speaking, if users want to wake up Google Assistant, in addition to calling it through the phone's dedicated button or long pressing the Home button, they must also wake it up through the keywords "Ok, Google" or "Hey, Google".
But in the upcoming Pixel 4 series, Google clearly hopes to allow users to interact with Google Assistant even faster. Users will be able to ask questions or give commands to Google Assistant immediately after picking up the phone, without having to wake it up with keywords in advance or even operate any buttons.
This feature may useDuplex-related technologies, allowing the phone to automatically determine the user's question content and further understand the sentence content. If the user picks up the phone and does not ask any questions immediately, the system will automatically ignore the subsequent questions to avoid user inconvenience.
However, if Google plans to allow Google Assistant to be activated and used at any time by users, it means that the mobile phone system may continue to listen to the user's interaction through the microphone to determine whether to ask questions to the user in real time or issue commands to interact, which may once again raise some privacy concerns.
