Abstract: A first intelligent assistant computing device configured to receive and respond to natural language inputs provided by human users syncs to a reference clock of a wireless computer network. The first intelligent assistant computing device receives a communication sent by a second intelligent assistant computing device indicating a signal emission time at which the second intelligent assistant computing device emitted a position calibration signal. The first intelligent assistant computing device records a signal detection time at which the position calibration signal was detected. Based on a difference between 1) the signal emission time and the signal detection time, and 2) a known propagation speed of the position calibration signal, a distance between the first and second intelligent assistant computing devices is calculated.

Abstract: Individual clock adjustments between electronic devices are typically based around a round-trip time (RTT) measurement of the reference message between initiating and the receiving devices. With increasing expectations of clock synchronization accuracy, as well as widespread use of wireless data networks, the presently disclosed technology provides a dedicated clock synchronization network that yields a fixed delay between hops and within associated devices of a dedicated clock synchronization network. By accounting for the known delays between hops and within associated devices of the dedicated clock synchronization network, better clock synchronization accuracy can be achieved than prior art techniques that estimate latency based on an RTT measurement.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an audio communication device with novel visual indications and adjustable muting. In examples, an audio communication device is provided. The audio communication device includes at least one processor, and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the audio communication device to perform a set of operations. The set of operations include generating a first visual indicator. The first visual indicator corresponds to audio of one or more users. The set of operations further include receiving a user-input, muting a microphone region of the audio communication device, based on the user-input, and generating a second visual indicator. The second visual indicator replaces at least a portion of the first visual indicator. The second visual indicator corresponds to the muted region. The first visual indicator is indicative of a quality of the audio.
