Abstract: A system that is capable of controlling multiple entertainment systems and/or speakers using voice commands. The system receives voice commands and may determine audio sources and speakers indicated by the voice commands. The system may generate audio data from the audio sources and may send the audio data to the speakers using multiple interfaces. For example, the system may send the audio data directly to the speakers using a network address, may send the audio data to the speakers via a voice-enabled device or may send the audio data to the speakers via a speaker controller. The system may generate output zones including multiple speakers and may associate input devices with speakers within the output zones. For example, the system may receive a voice command from an input device in an output zone and may reduce output audio generated by speakers in the output zone.

Abstract: A system that is capable of controlling multiple entertainment systems and/or speakers using voice commands. The system receives voice commands and may determine speakers playing output audio in proximity to the voice commands. The system may generate voice output and send the voice output to the speakers, along with a command to reduce a volume of output audio while playing the voice output. For example, the system may receive a voice command from an input device associated with an output zone, may reduce output audio generated by speakers in the output zone and may play the voice output via the speakers. In addition, the system may send the command to the speakers while sending the voice output to another device for playback. For example, the system may reduce output audio generated by the speakers and play the voice output via the input device.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for optimizing in-application purchase (IAP) items to achieve a developer-specified success metric. Application developers can define customer segments and a success metric for each segment. In-application purchase items (IAP) for an application can be tuned for each customer segment in an attempt to achieve the defined success metric. The disclosed techniques can automatically determine the most compelling combination of attributes for an IAP item, such as item price, behavior, definition, and timing. Based on contextual information received from a number of resources, such as an application store, an e-commerce system, and a user device, an optimization service can modify attributes of the IAP items for users in the customer segment to achieve the developer-specified success metrics.
