Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for determining device leadership among voice interface devices. In one aspect, a method is performed at a first electronic device of a plurality of electronic devices, each having microphones, a speaker, processors, and memory storing programs for execution by the processors. The first device detects a voice input. It determines a device state and a relevance of the voice input. It identifies a subset of electronic devices from the plurality to which the voice input is relevant. In accordance with a determination that the subset includes the first device, the first device determines a first score of a criterion associated with the voice input and receives second scores of the criterion from other devices in the subset. In accordance with a determination that the first score is higher than the second scores, the first device responds to the detected input.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for distributed ambient computing within an environment. A first version of an ambient computing library running on a device may check a manifest in the storage of the device to identify a second device that provides a service. The first version of the ambient computing library may send data to be processed using the service to the second device through a second version of the ambient computing library running on the second device. The first device and the second device may include different computing hardware. The first version of the ambient computing library may receive data including results from the second device through the second version of the ambient computing library. The data including the results may be generated by the second device based on processing the data sent from the device by the first version of the ambient computing library.

Abstract: A method for proactive notifications in a voice interface device includes: receiving a first user voice request for an action with an future performance time; assigning the first user voice request to a voice assistant service for performance; subsequent to the receiving, receiving a second user voice request and in response to the second user voice request initiating a conversation with the user; and during the conversation: receiving a notification from the voice assistant service of performance of the action; triggering a first audible announcement to the user to indicate a transition from the conversation and interrupting the conversation; triggering a second audible announcement to the user to indicate performance of the action; and triggering a third audible announcement to the user to indicate a transition back to the conversation and rejoining the conversation.

Abstract: During a sleep session of a user of a display assistant device, the device records sound, movement, and ambient conditions in proximity to the device. The ambient conditions include a light level. The device analyzes the recorded sound and movement to identify throughout the sleep session of the user a time-varying sleep state of the user. The sleep state is characterized by a sleep quality and a sleep phase. The device also analyzes the recorded ambient conditions and the recorded sound throughout the sleep session to identify a plurality of time-varying sleep disturbances occurring during the sleep session of the user. After the sleep session of the user has concluded, the device presents on a screen of the device a sleep summary of the sleep session. The sleep summary includes visual indications of the sleep quality and disturbances identified throughout the sleep session.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for automation and recommendation based on device control protocols. HDMI-CEC device control data may be received from a connected electronic device that may be connected to an electronic display device. The HDMI-CEC device control data may be based on a HDMI-CEC device control signal from the electronic display device. Signals may be received from sensor devices located in a same structure as the electronic display device. The HDMI-CEC device control data and signals from the sensor devices may be input to the machine learning system. The machine learning system may generate a control signal for a device. The control signal may be sent to the device to be implemented by the device.
