Abstract: Methods, systems, and related products that provide emotion-sensitive responses to user's commands and other utterances received at an utterance-based user interface. Acknowledgements of user's utterances are adapted to the user and/or the user device, and emotions detected in the user's utterance that have been mapped from one or more emotion features extracted from the utterance. In some examples, extraction of a user's changing emotion during a sequence of interactions is used to generate a response to a user's uttered command. In some examples, emotion processing and command processing of natural utterances are performed asynchronously.

Abstract: An audio cancellation system includes a voice enabled computing system that is connected to an audio output device using a wired or wireless communication network. The voice enabled computing device can provide media content to a user and receive a voice command from the user. The connection between the voice enabled computing system and the audio output device introduces a time delay between the media content being generated at the voice enabled computing device and the media content being reproduced at the audio output device. The system operates to determine a calibration value adapted for the voice enabled computing system and the audio output device. The system uses the calibration value to filter the user's voice command from a recording of ambient sound including the media content, without requiring significant use of memory and computing resources.

Abstract: A server has a pool data store that stores ambient sound recordings for matching. A match engine finds matches between ambient sound recordings from devices in the pool data store. The matching ambient sound recordings and their respective devices are then analyzed to determine which device is a source device that provides credentials and which device is a target device that receives credentials. The server then obtains or generates credentials associated with the source device and provides the credentials to the target device. The target device accesses content or services of an account using the credentials.

Abstract: A training audio track feature vector is generated for training audio tracks. The training audio track feature vector includes training track vector components based on one or more feature sets. Each of the training track vector components is grouped into at least one cluster. Audio filters are mapped to one or more of the clusters, thereby building a feature-filter mapping function. Mapping functions from filters to audio output devices and/or physical space acoustic features can also be built. A media playback device receives the mapping function(s) and is enabled to apply the mapping function(s) to a query audio track feature vector to identify at least one audio filter corresponding to the query audio track. The media playback device can then apply the at least one audio filter to the query audio track.

Abstract: A system and method for voice control of a media playback device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an instruction of a voice command, converting the voice command to text, transmitting the text command to the playback device, and having the playback device execute the command. An instruction may include a command to play a set of audio tracks, and the media playback device plays the set of audio tracks upon receiving the instruction.

Abstract: A source device being associated with an account uses playback of a media content item to cause a target device to become associated with the account. The target device enters an association mode and records a portion of the playing content. The target device provides the recording to a server that identifies the song (e.g., using a music fingerprint service) and uses the identification of the song to find the account that caused playback of the identified song. With the account identified, the server provides credentials of the account to target system. The target device accesses content or services using the account. As confirmation of receiving the credentials, the server causes playback of the content to transition to from the source device to the target device.

Abstract: A system is provided for streaming media content in a vehicle. The system includes a personal media streaming appliance system configured to connect to a media delivery system and receive media content from the media delivery system at least via a cellular network. The personal media streaming appliance system operates to transmit a media signal representative to the received media content to a vehicle media playback system so that the vehicle media playback system operates to play the media content in the vehicle. Various types of rotations of a knob part of the personal media streaming applicant system result in different media playback actions.
