A media content steering solution is provided to identify a user query to steer playback of media content that is currently playing or has been played. The user steering query can include a voice request for playing media content that is relatively different from the media content being currently played or having been played. The media content steering solution analyzes the utterance of the user query and uses it to identify such different content that satisfies the user intent contained in the user query.

Media content steering

An electronic device displays a first icon comprising a shape. While displaying the first icon, the device receives a voice command corresponding to a request for media content from the application. In response to, and while receiving, the voice command, the device dynamically animates the first icon, including distorting a radius of a portion of the shape in accordance with a direction of the voice command. The dynamic animation indicates that the electronic device is in a first state. After the voice command is completed, the device displays an indication that the device is in a second state that is distinct from the first state.

Methods and systems for providing animated visual feedback for voice commands

A system and method for voice control of a media playback device is disclosed.

An instruction may include a command to play a set of audio tracks, and the media playback device plays the set of audio tracks upon receiving the instruction.
