Abstract: System and methods for processing audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may include a microphone configured to capture sounds from an environment of a user; and at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive at least one audio signal representative of the sounds captured by the microphone; transcribe at least a portion of the at least one audio signal into text; generate metadata based on the transcribed text; after receiving the at least one audio signal, receive a request for information associated with a topic; select an information source from a plurality of information sources based on the received request for information; search the selected information source for a word or phrase based on the request; and output the word or phrase for entry into a record associated with the topic.

Abstract: Techniques for providing device functionalities using device components are described. A system receives a system-generated directive from a skill system and determines a workflow to execute. The system implements a response orchestrator that operates based on the workflow that includes interception points where cross-cutting functionalities can be invoked as pluggable components. The interception points occur pre-system-generated directive, pre-device-facing directive, post-device-facing directive generation, post-device-facing directive dispatch, and the like. The system supports asynchronous execution, conditional execution, and sequential execution of components. Data determined by the cross functionality components can be used by other components for processing.

Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The present electronic device comprises: a voice receiving unit; and a processor, wherein the processor: when a user's voice is received through the voice receiving unit, determines an accumulation level of utterance history information corresponding to the characteristics of the user's voice; when the accumulation level of utterance history information is below a predetermined threshold level, provides response information corresponding to the user's voice on the basis of user information related to the characteristics of the user's voice; and when the accumulation level of utterance history information is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold level, provides response information corresponding to the user's voice on the basis of the user information and the utterance history information.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving from an input device, a capture of user action as an initial command; interpreting the initial command into an interpreted command; generating a first set of modified commands that are based on the interpreted command, including: a first modified command that has a phonetic similarity to the interpreted command within a certain threshold, and a second modified command that is semantically related to an earlier command; transmitting, to an output device, the first set of modified commands; receiving a response to a group of commands including the first set of modified commands; recording an identifier of an input device from which the response was received and a type of the response in a log; when the response includes acknowledging a specific command of the group of commands as an accepted command, executing, the accepted command; otherwise, generating a second set of modified commands.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an intelligent collection box are provided. Implementations of the intelligent collection box include a processor, a computer-readable data storage system storing program instructions, a weighing scale, a display, a speaker, a microphone, a network interface, and a power generator. The program instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the intelligent collection box to perform operations including identifying keywords spoken by the user. The operations also include authenticating the user using the keywords. The operations also include determining a request for delivery of an item based on the keywords. The operations also include responding to the request for delivery. The operations also include determining a weight of the item. The operations also include determining delivery options for the item using the weight and using delivery information. The operations also include determining that the item has been received by the collection box.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for responding to requests received from users in a healthcare facility, and for generating alerts based upon criticality detected in received verbal utterances. A personal assistant device (PAD) may receive a verbal request for information. The identity of the requestor may be verified and a response to the request may be received by the PAD. In some cases, prior to audibly outputting the response, it may be determined whether the response contains protected health information (PHI). Upon determining that the response contains PHI, the presence of persons other than the patient in proximity to the PAD and/or security of the location of the PAD may be evaluated prior to audibly outputting the response. Additionally, alerts having a heightened criticality may be generated when a received verbal utterance is determined to have a heightened criticality.

Abstract: Example techniques involve systems with multiple acoustic echo cancellers. An example implementation captures first audio within an acoustic environment and detecting, within the captured first audio content, a wake-word. In response to the wake-word and before playing an acknowledgement tone, the implementation activates (a) a first sound canceller when one or more speakers are playing back audio content or (b) a second sound canceller when the one or more speakers are idle. In response to the wake-word and after activating either (a) the first sound canceller or (b) the second sound canceller, the implementation outputs the acknowledgement tone via the one or more speakers. The implementation captures second audio within the acoustic environment and cancelling the acoustic echo of the acknowledgement tone from the captured second audio using the activated sound canceller.

Abstract: Implementations related to selecting a primary automated assistant for a given automated assistant device that is connected to one or more other automated assistant devices in an ecosystem of connected devices. An affinity score is generated for each of a plurality of candidate automated assistants that are capable of executing on the automated assistant device. The affinity score of a given automated assistant for an automated assistant device is indicative of suitability of the automated assistant for the automated assistant device. One of the candidate automated assistants is selected as the primary automated assistant for the device. The primary automated assistant is prioritized when resources of the automated assistant device are allocated to automated assistants executing on the automated assistant device.
