    Abstract: The present invention relates to providing identification information in response to an audio segment using a first mode of operation including receiving an audio segment and sending the audio segment to a remote server and receiving, from the remote server, identification information relating to the audio segment, and a second mode of operation of receiving an audio segment and using stored information to obtain identification information relating to the received audio segment received, without sending the audio segment to the remote server. The present invention further includes using identification information from the remote server and using local identification information and selecting either identification information from the remote server or local identification information based on selection criteria, and generating an output based on the selected identification information.

    Abstract: A conversational virtual assistant searches databases using as search result filters current arguments from a user's natural language expression together with conversational arguments stored in an historical conversation state. If a search finds no results, a second search may disregard some or all arguments in order to provide a response that includes some search results. The second search can disregard all conversational arguments or just some, the choice being based on one or more criteria such as: the presence of a conversational phrasing clue; conversational arguments being projectable onto current arguments; the relative importance of argument; the age of arguments; and a specific limit to the number of arguments. Conversational virtual assistants can respond to spoken utterances and to natural language expressions and can ask users for request disambiguation.

    Abstract: Systems for speech enabling devices perform methods of configuring distinct open sounds for different devices to indicate to users when each device is recognizing speech. Open sounds are stored both on computer-readable media within a device and on server systems to which devices interface over networks. Open sounds are a parameter of device personalities, and can be configured by system designers, users, or service providers. Devices detect the presence of others by spotting known open phrases, and provide distinctiveness by changing their selected open phrase. Server system providers analyze non-verbal and spoken phrase open sounds from developers using audio fingerprinting and speech recognition.

    Abstract: A virtual assistant receives natural language interpretation hypotheses for user queries, determines entities and attributes from the interpretations, and requests data from appropriate data sources. A cost function estimates the cost of each data source request. Cost functions include factors such as contract pricing, access latency, and data quality. Based on the estimated cost, the virtual assistant sends requests to a plurality of data sources, each of which might be able to provide data necessary to answer the user query. By including user credits in the cost function, the virtual assistant provides better quality of results and answer latency for paying users. The virtual assistant minimizes latency by answering using data from the first responding data source or provides a latency guarantee by answering with the most accurate data received by a deadline. The virtual assistant measures data source response latency and caches responses for expensive requests.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching cloud-based databases are provided herein. A service provider may have a need to make their database(s) searchable through search technology. However, the service provider may not have the resources to implement such search technology. The search technology may allow for search queries against these cloud-based databases. The technology described herein provides a solution addressing the service provider's need, by giving a search technology that furnishes search results in a fast, accurate manner. In further embodiments, systems and methods to monetize those search results are also described herein.
