Abstract
A system may be configured to receive and process various signals to generate a natural language description of a user's environment, called situational context data. The signals may include sensor data, device status, user activity, user input, and/or inferences made using such data. The situational context data may express a user-centric description of the user's environment; for example: 'User is taking a walk in the park on a sunny afternoon' or “activity: driving location: highway”, etc. The system may send the situational context data to various system components that may, for example, process speech, select applications/skills for handling user inputs, and/or that implement those applications/skills. The applications/skills may use the situational context data to provide recommendations, generate responses, and/or perform actions that are more relevant to the user's current environment.
