Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for selecting an input mode are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving request data specifying a request to launch a virtual assistant application from a lock screen of a mobile device. In response to receiving the request data, input signals are obtained. A selection of an input mode for the virtual assistant application is made, from candidate input modes, based on the input signals. Each candidate input mode is of an input type different from each other input type of each other candidate input mode. The input types include an image type and an audio type. The input mode of the image type receives pixel data for input to the virtual assistant application. The input mode of the audio type receives audio input for the virtual assistant application. The virtual assistant application presents content selected based on input signals received using the selected input mode.
