Abstract: Microphone data indicative of a user spoken phrase is captured utilizing the microphone at a communication apparatus. At least a portion of the microphone data is sent to a set of computing devices. A response phrase determined at a virtual assistant service is received from each of the computing devices. A preferred response phrase is identified among the set of received response phrases according to a preference rule. The preferred response phrase is caused to be output via a speaker at the communication apparatus.

Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, volume level information is obtained for each of a set of connected communication devices that include a microphone and a speaker. The obtained volume level information is analyzed to determine the volume level information is indicative of a spoken trigger phrase. A preferred communication device among the set of communication devices is identified according to an audio preference rule. The preferred communication device can engage in transactions with a virtual assistant service such that a user spoken data other than the trigger phrase is detected within a selected time of the trigger phrase, and a response is provided to the combination of the trigger phrase and the user spoken data.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first check valve on the ear cup is to open and release a volume of air from the ear enclosure when a positive pressure within the ear enclosure overcomes a cracking pressure of the first check valve. A second check valve on the ear cup is to open and admit a volume of air into the ear enclosure when a partial vacuum within the ear enclosure causes an external pressure to overcome a cracking pressure of the second check valve.

Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, microphone data indicative of a user spoken phrase is captured utilizing a microphone. The microphone data is analyzed to detect a trigger phrase. A wakeup event is performed responsive to the detection of the trigger phrase. At least a portion of the microphone data is sent to the computing device for the computing device to send to a server system.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first valve is to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve is to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. A speaker cone is to translate an audio signal into audible sound, and a signal modifier is to modify the audio signal with a subsonic frequency signal to cause the speaker cone to generate air movement that produces sufficient positive pressure to open the first valve and sufficient negative pressure to open the second valve.

Abstract: Examples relate to a network-connected audio system for adjusting speaker settings. An example network-connected audio system may comprise a hardware processor that plays audio files. The example network-connected audio system may also comprise a user detection engine that detects that a first user is connected to the audio system, as well as a settings engine that determines that a first type of audio file is to be played, and changes audio settings of the audio system to a first set of audio settings responsive to determining that the first type of audio file is to be played and responsive to determining that the first user is connected to the audio system.

Abstract: A method includes, with a portable, wireless transceiver, detecting a predetermined motion pattern of the transceiver; and in response to detecting the predetermined motion pattern of the transceiver, transmitting a wireless wake signal from the portable transceiver to a sleeping computer. A corresponding portable transceiver unit includes: a microphone to receive spoken voice commands from a user; a wireless transceiver to wirelessly communicate with a separate computer; and a motion sensor to detect a predetermined motion pattern at the portable transceiver unit. The wireless transceiver, in response to the motion sensor detecting the predetermined motion pattern of the transceiver, wirelessly transmits a wake signal to the computer.

Abstract: A system is disclosed in which an eye-tracking sensor signal is received and a moving image is generated to be rendered on one or more displays based on the eye-tracking sensor signal. Responsive to an input control signal from a user-operable control device or based on a determination that the user's gaze direction is tracking the moving image, the system adjusts the moving image.

Abstract: A wide range, non-focused listening mode of a microphone of an electronic device can be set to be selectively less than a maximal range around the device. The microphone can be operated in the wide range, non-focused listening mode to detect a spoken trigger phrase. The microphone can then be operated in a narrow range, focused listening mode directed towards a location from which the spoken trigger phrase was detected in the wide range, non-focused listening mode.
