US Patent 9509799 Providing status updates via a personal assistant

Methods and systems are presented for providing a status report with a personal assistant feature of a user device (e.g., mobile phone). In some embodiments, when a user inputs a status command at an interface of a user device, a personal assistant feature will display a status report. The status report may include information that is responsive to a plurality of different personal assistant commands, but a user need only input the single status command to obtain all the information. The status report may be customized based on user-editable status report settings. The status report may be based on local status data from a database on the user device and remote status data from third party.
