    Abstract: A system that determines that devices are co-located in an acoustic region and selects a single device to which to send incoming notifications for the acoustic region. The system may group devices into separate acoustic regions based on selection data that selects between similar audio data received from multiple devices. The system may select the best device for each acoustic region based on a frequency that the device was selected previously, input/output capabilities of the device, a proximity to a user, or the like. The system may send a notification to a single device in each of the acoustic regions so that a user receives a single notification instead of multiple unsynchronized notifications. The system may also determine that acoustic regions are associated with different locations and select acoustic regions to which to send a notification based on location.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for assignment and switching of content sources for a streaming content session are described. Embodiments may include the generation and use of content source rankings for improving playback quality of content streams. In embodiments, a merchant system may collect and aggregate multiple quality metrics for different content streams that various content sources provide to various clients. The merchant system may utilize the quality metrics to generate rankings of content sources for clients. The merchant system may provide such rankings to clients to improve the content stream playback experience on the client. For instance, at content acquisition time, a client may request a content stream from a content resource ranked highest on a content source ranking provided by the merchant. If the content stream degrades, the client may source subsequent portions of the content stream from another highly ranked content source of the ranking.

    Abstract translation: 描述用于流式传输内容会话的内容源的分配和切换的系统和方法的各种实施例。 实施例可以包括产生和使用用于提高内容流的播放质量的内容源排名。 在实施例中,商家系统可收集和聚合各种内容源提供给各种客户端的不同内容流的多个质量度量。 商家系统可以利用质量度量来生成客户端的内容源的排名。 商户系统可以向客户端提供这样的排名以改善客户端上的内容流播放体验。 例如,在内容获取时间,客户端可以从由商家提供的内容源排名排名最高的内容资源请求内容流。 如果内容流降级,则客户端可以从排名的另一个高度排名的内容源导出内容流的后续部分。
