    摘要: Techniques for avoiding wake word self-triggering are provided. In one embodiment, an electronic device can receive an audio-out signal to be output as audio via a speaker of the device and can attempt to recognize a wake word in the audio-out signal using a first recognizer. If the wake word is recognized in the audio-out signal, the electronic device can further determine whether a wake word match is made using a second recognizer with respect to a mic-in audio signal captured via a microphone of the device at approximately the same time that the audio-out signal is output via the speaker. If so, the electronic device can ignore the wake word match made using the second recognizer.

    摘要: Techniques for implementing dynamic volume adjustment by a virtual assistant are provided. In one embodiment, the virtual assistant can receive a voice query or command from a user, recognize the content of the voice query or command, process the voice query or command based on the recognized content, and determine an auditory response to be output to the user. The virtual assistant can then identify a plurality of criteria for automatically determining an output volume level for the response, where the plurality of criteria including content-based criteria and environment-based criteria, calculate values for the plurality of criteria, and combine the values to determine the output volume level. The virtual assistant can subsequently cause the auditory response to be output to the user at the determined output volume level.

    摘要: Techniques for implementing face-controlled liveness verification are provided. In one embodiment, a computing device can present, to a user, a sequential series of targets on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device, where each target is a visual element designed to direct the user's attention to a location in the GUI. The computing device can further determine whether the user has successfully hit each target, where the determining comprises tracking movement of a virtual pointer controlled by the user's gaze or face pose and checking whether the user has moved the virtual pointer over each target. If the user has successfully hit each target, the computing device can conclude that the user is a live subject.

    摘要: Techniques for implementing voice-based liveness verification are provided. In one embodiment, a computing device can present a series of challenge prompts to a user being authenticated, where each challenge prompt corresponds to a request to utter a liveness passphrase that is randomly selected from a set of liveness passphrases that have been previously enrolled by an enrolled user of the computing device. The computing device can then receive utterances from the user in response to the series of challenge prompts and, if each utterance matches its corresponding enrolled liveness passphrase, can conclude that the user is a live subject.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an acoustic input signal at a speech recognizer. A user is identified that is speaking based on the acoustic input signal. The method then determines speaker-specific information previously stored for the user and a set of responses based on the recognized acoustic input signal and the speaker-specific information for the user. It is determined if the response should be output and the response is outputted if it is determined the response should be output.

    摘要: Techniques for unobtrusively verifying the identity of a user of a computing device are provided. In one embodiment, the computing device can establish one or more verification models for verifying the user's identity, where at least a subset of the one or more verification models is based on enrollment data that is collected in an unobtrusive manner from the user. The computing device can then verify the user's identity using the one or more verification models.

    摘要: Smart listening modes for supporting quasi always-on listening on an electronic device are provided. In one embodiment, the electronic device can determine that a user is likely to utter a voice trigger in order to access the always-on listening functionality of the electronic device. In response to this determination, the electronic device can automatically enable the always-on listening functionality. Similarly, the electronic device can determine that a user is no longer likely to utter the voice trigger in order to access the always-on listening functionality of the electronic device. In response to this second determination, the electronic device can automatically disable the always-on listening functionality.
