    Abstract: A system enables end user devices to receive audio announcements from third party cloud-based resources. For example, the system may include a first party cloud-based resource providing tokens to the third party cloud-based resource in order to prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing audio announcements to be output by user devices without authorization. In some cases, the tokens may be time based and prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing audio announcements to be output by user devices after a predefined amount of time. In other examples, the tokens may be use based and prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing the user device to output more than a predetermined number of audio announcements.

    Abstract: A speech-based system includes a local device in a user premises and a remote service that uses the local device to conduct speech dialogs with a user. The local device may also be directed to play audio such as music, audio books, etc. When designating audio for playing by the local device, the remote service may specify that the audio is either background audio or foreground audio. For background audio, the service indicates whether the background audio is mixable. For foreground audio, the service indicates an interrupt behavior. When the local device is playing background audio and receives foreground audio, the background audio is paused, attenuated, or not changed based on the indicated interrupt behavior of the foreground audio and whether the background audio has been designated as being mixable.

    Abstract: A system for enabling end user devices to access third party cloud-based resources. For example, the system may include a first party cloud-based resource for converting sound into a format accessible to the third party cloud-based resource, storing and/or maintaining state information related to the an open communication session between the end user device and the third party cloud-based resources, and converting text-based audio announcements into audio that may be output by the end user device. In some cases, the first party cloud-based resource may transmit user responses together with stored state information to the third party cloud-based resources in a manner that the third part cloud-based resources may treat each interaction with the end user as a separate communication session.

    Abstract: Techniques for creating a persistent connection between client devices and one or more remote computing resources, which may form a portion of a network-accessible computing platform. This connection may be considered “permanent” or “nearly permanent” to allow the client device to both send data to and receive data from the remote resources at nearly any time. In addition, both the client device and the remote resources may establish virtual channels over this single connection. If no data is exchanged between the client device and the remote computing resources for a threshold amount of time, then the connection may be severed and the client device may attempt to establish a new connection with the remote computing resources.

    Abstract: A voice-controlled device may receive a voice command uttered by a user, where the voice command may request that the voice-controlled device perform an operation. The voice-controlled device and/or one or more remote computing resources may process an audio signal associated with the voice command to determine text corresponding to the voice command. The resulting user utterance may be associated with a unique identifier, which may be provided to a third party and/or third party application that is to provide information responsive to the user request. The information provided by the third party/third party application may be output to the user based at least partly on the unique identifier, without disclosing user data associated with the user.

    Abstract: A speech-based system includes an audio device in a user premises and a network-based service that supports use of the audio device by multiple applications. The audio device may be directed to play audio content such as music, audio books, etc. The audio device may also be directed to interact with a user through speech. The network-based service monitors event messages received from the audio device to determine which of the multiple applications currently has speech focus. When receiving speech from a user, the service first offers the corresponding meaning to the application, if any, that currently has primary speech focus. If there is no application that currently has primary speech focus, or if the application having primary speech focus is not able to respond to the meaning, the service then offers the user meaning to the application that currently has secondary speech focus.
