Abstract:
Embodiments of computing systems, and related methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computing system may include a peripheral device (e.g., an image capture device and/or an audio output device) and control logic. The control logic may be coupled with a sensor system and the peripheral device to receive a trigger signal; receive, from the sensor system, one or more interaction signals indicative of a user interaction with the computing system; and, in response to receipt of the trigger signal and the one or more interaction signals, generate a control signal for output to the peripheral device to control operation of the peripheral device. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Technologies are described herein that allow a user to wake up a computing device operating in a low-power state and for the user to be verified by speaking a single wake phrase. Wake phrase recognition is performed by a low-power engine. In some embodiments, the low-power engine may also perform speaker verification. In other embodiments, the mobile device wakes up after a wake phrase is recognized and a component other than the low-power engine performs speaker verification on a portion of the audio input comprising the wake phrase. More than one wake phrases may be associated with a particular user, and separate users may be associated with different wake phrases. Different wake phrases may cause the device transition from a low-power state to various active states.
