    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: The disclosed embodiments include methods, devices, and storage mediums for adjusting the output volume of audio content. In one aspect, a method performed at an audio device includes: (1) identifying a remote location for audio content; (2) streaming the audio content from the remote location; (3) producing an audible output from the audio content at a first volume level; and (4) while producing the audible output: (a) receiving an indication that a user is about to submit verbal input to the electronic device; (b) in response to the indication, adjusting the audible output from the first volume level to a second volume level, less than the first volume level; (c) receiving the verbal input from the user; and (d) after receiving the verbal input, adjusting the audible output from the second volume level to the first volume level.

    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: A method at an electronic device with one or more microphones and a speaker, the electronic device configured to be awakened by any of a plurality of affordances including a voice-based affordance, includes determining a noise profile of an environment around the electronic device; determining whether the noise profile interferes with the voice-based affordance; and in accordance with a determination that the noise profile interferes with the voice-based affordance, presenting a hint to a user to use an affordance of the plurality of affordances other than the voice-based affordance to awaken the electronic device.

    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 an electronic device that includes microphones, a speaker, processors, and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. The electronic device: (1) detects a voice input; (2) determines a first quality score for the detected voice input; (3) receives quality scores generated by other electronic devices for detection of the voice input by the other electronic devices; (4) in accordance with a determination that the first quality score is not the highest amongst the quality scores for the voice input, identifies a criterion associated with the voice input; and (5) in accordance with a determination that the identified criterion is the most relevant to the electronic device, responds to the detected input.
