Abstract: A system and method establishes a communication connection between a first device of a first user and a second device of a second user. Request data corresponding to a request to establish a communication connection with a second user is received, and a user profile associated with the second user is determined. One or more sensors of the second device receive input data corresponding to the environment of the second device, and an identity of the second user is determined based thereon. The communication connection is established and, based on the identity, the second device tracks movement of the second user in the environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to recipient information. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server determines a second speech-controlled device of the recipient and sends a signal to the recipient's second speech-controlled device representing a message is forthcoming. The recipient's second speech-controlled device outputs and indication representing a message is forthcoming.

Abstract: Methods and devices for causing a communications session between a first device and a second device to end based on lack of speech activity are described herein. In some embodiments, a communications between a first device and a second device may be initiated by the first device, where a first user account associated with the first device is authorized to initiate communications session with the second device by a second user account. After the communications session is started, audio data is received by a speech activity detection system, which determines whether the audio data represents speech or non-speech. If, after the communications session begins, non-speech is detected by the first device for more than a predefined amount of time, then the communications session is caused to end so that the first device is not capable of receiving video and/or audio associated with the second device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing lighting indications in speech-based systems. For instance, a remote system may receive, from a conferencing system, a first message indicating that a first electronic device is participating in a conference call with at least a second electronic device and a third electronic device. The remote system can then associate the second electronic device with a first visual indication, and then cause the first electronic device to display the first visual indication. The remote system can further associate the third electronic device with a second visual indication, and then cause the first electronic device to display the second visual indication. Additionally, the remote system may receive a second message indicating that the first electronic device disconnected from the conference call and, in response, cause the first electronic device to cease from displaying the first visual indication and the second visual indication.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to recipient information. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server determines a second speech-controlled device of the recipient and sends a signal to the recipient's second speech-controlled device representing a message is forthcoming. The recipient's second speech-controlled device outputs and indication representing a message is forthcoming.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting visual indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to a voice message to a second speech-controlled device. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server performs speech processing on the audio data to determine a recipient and message content. The server then determines a second speech-controlled device associated with the recipient and sends the message content to the recipient's second speech-controlled device. Thereafter, the server receives an indication from the recipient's speech-controlled device that the second device is detecting speech, presumably in response to the original message. The server then causes a visual indication to be output by the first speech-controlled device, with the visual indication representing the recipient-speech controlled device is detecting speech.

Abstract: A system configured to vary a speech speed of speech represented in input audio data without changing a pitch of the speech. The system may vary the speech speed based on a number of different inputs, including non-audio data, data associated with a command, or data associated with the voice message itself. The non-audio data may correspond to information about an account, device or user, such as user preferences, calendar entries, location information, etc. The system may analyze audio data associated with the command to determine command speech speed, identity of person listening, etc. The system may analyze the input audio data to determine a message speech speed, background noise level, identity of the person speaking, etc. Using all of these inputs, the system may dynamically determine a target speech speed and may generate output audio data having the target speech speed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for escalating voice-based interactions via speech-controlled devices are described. Speech-controlled devices capture audio, including wakeword portions and payload portions, for sending to a server to relay messages between speech-controlled devices. In response to determining the occurrence of an escalation event, such as repeated messages between the same two devices, the system may automatically change a mode of a speech-controlled device, such as no longer requiring a wakeword, no longer requiring an indication of a desired recipient, or automatically connecting two speech-controlled devices in a voice-chat mode. In response to determining the occurrence of further escalation events, the system may initiate a real-time call between the speech-controlled devices.
