    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for arbitration between automated assistant devices based on interaction cues. A method includes: receiving, via one or more microphones of a first computing device, first audio data that captures a spoken utterance of a user; determining that each of one or more additional computing devices has detected the spoken utterance of the user; determining that hotword arbitration is to be initiated between the first computing device and the one or more additional computing devices; for each of the first computing device and the one or more additional computing devices, identifying a similarity score for the computing device; selecting a target computing device, from the first computing device and the one or more additional computing devices, based on the similarity scores; and causing the target computing device to respond to a query that is included in the spoken utterance of the user.

    Abstract: An emotion adjustment system for determining a user's emotions based on a user's voice includes: a microphone configured to receive the user's voice; a controller configured to extract a plurality of sound quality factors in response to processing the user's voice, calculate a depression index of the user based on at least one sound quality factor among the plurality of sound quality factors, identify an emotional state of the user as a depressive state when the depression index is a preset value or more, determine the depressive state as a first state or a second state based on a correlation between at least two sound quality factors among the plurality of sound quality factors, and transmit a control command corresponding to the emotional state of the user identified as the first state or the second state; and a feedback device configured to perform an operation corresponding to the control command.

    Abstract: A vehicular recording control device includes: an imaging data acquiring unit configured to acquire first imaging data from a first camera imaging surroundings of a host vehicle and second imaging data from a second camera imaging a cabin of the vehicle; a sightline determining unit configured to determine the direction of a sightline of an occupant of the vehicle from the second imaging data; a voice recognizing unit configured to recognize a voice command for instructing event recording; an output control unit configured to output information indicating the voice command to the occupant when the sightline determining unit determines that the sightline of the occupant is directed to a display unit; and a recording control unit configured to store the first imaging data as event data when the voice recognizing unit recognizes the voice command.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be accessible via a virtual environment for controlling features of the virtual environment and/or devices in a physical environment of the user. When the automated assistant is invoked, the automated assistant can materialize in the virtual environment according to any request that the automated assistant has been invoked to fulfill. For example, depending on the request from the user, the automated assistant can cause rendering of a virtual object for fulfilling the request and/or controlling an ongoing operation of the automated assistant. When the virtual object is rendered to control an operation of the automated assistant, or another application, the virtual object can include a virtual feature that the user can interact with to control the virtual environment and/or devices in a physical environment of the user.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a group automated assistant session and processing requests that are intended for the users that are included in the group. A plurality of users can indicate intentions to create a group session that includes selecting an automated assistant, from the automated assistants executing on the devices of the user and providing the selected automated assistant with audio data that is captured by microphones of the user devices. In response, the selected automated assistant processes the audio data and generates a response that is provided, via one or more speakers of the device that is executing the selected automated assistant. Further, fulfillment data is provided to the automated assistants executing on other devices and, in response to being provided the fulfillment data, each automated assistant causes audio data to be rendered, via one or more speakers of each respective device, that is responsive to the request.
