Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media including instructions for detecting and utilizing facial skin micromovements are disclosed. In some non-limiting embodiments, the detection of the facial skin micromovements occurs using a speech detection system that may include a wearable housing, a light source (either a coherent light source or a non-coherent light source), a light detector, and at least one processor. One or more processors may be configured to analyze light reflections received from a facial region to determine the facial skin micromovements, and extract meaning from the determined facial skin micromovements. Examples of meaning that may be extracted from the determined facial skin micromovements may include words spoken by the individual (either silently spoken or vocally spoken), an identification of the individual, an emotional state of the individual, a heart rate of the individual, a respiration rate of the individual, or any other biometric, emotion, or speech-related indicator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for determining and interpreting facial skin micromovements are disclosed. Determining facial skin micromovements includes controlling at least one coherent light source for projecting a plurality of light spots on a facial region of an individual, wherein the plurality of light spots includes at least a first light spot and a second light spot spaced from the first light spot. Reflected light from the first light spot is analyzed to determine changes in first spot reflections. Reflected light from the second light spot is analyzed to determine changes in second spot reflections. Based on the determined changes in the first spot reflections and the second spot reflections, the facial skin micromovements are determined. The facial skin micromovements derived from analyzing the first spot reflections and analyzing the second spot reflections are interpreted. An output of the interpretation is generated.

Abstract: Within each harmonic spectrum of a sequence of spectra derived from analysis of a waveform representing human speech are identified two or more fundamental or harmonic components that have frequencies that are separated by integer multiples of a fundamental acoustic frequency. The highest harmonic frequency that is also greater than 410 Hz is a primary cap frequency, which is used to select a primary phonetic note that corresponds to a subset of phonetic chords from a set of phonetic chords for which acoustic spectral is available. The spectral data can also include frequencies for primary band, secondary band (or secondary note), basal band, or reduced basal band acoustic components, which can be used to select a phonetic chord from the subset of phonetic chords corresponding to the selected primary note.

Abstract: An occupancy tracking device configured to receive sound samples, to identify voices within the sound samples, and to determine a first occupancy level based on the identified voices. The device is further configured to identify user devices connected to an access point and to determine a second occupancy level based on the user devices that are connected to the access point. The device is further configured to measure a signal strength of a network connection with the access point and to determine a third occupancy level based on the signal strength of the network connection with the access point. The device is further configured to determine a predicted occupancy level based on the first occupancy level, the second occupancy level, and the third occupancy level and to control a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system based on the predicted occupancy level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively ignoring an occurrence of a wakeword within audio input data is provided herein. In some embodiments, a wakeword may be detected to have been uttered by an individual within a modified time window, which may account for hardware delays and echoing offsets. The detected wakeword that occurs during this modified time window may, in some embodiments, correspond to a word included within audio that is outputted by a voice activated electronic device. This may cause the voice activated electronic device to activate itself, stopping the audio from being outputted. By identifying when these occurrences of the wakeword within outputted audio are going to happen, the voice activated electronic device may selectively determine when to ignore the wakeword, and furthermore, when not to ignore the wakeword.

Abstract: Techniques are described for selectively adapting and/or selectively utilizing a noise reduction technique in detection of one or more features of a stream of audio data frames. For example, various techniques are directed to selectively adapting and/or utilizing a noise reduction technique in detection of an invocation phrase in a stream of audio data frames, detection of voice characteristics in a stream of audio data frames (e.g., for speaker identification), etc. Utilization of described techniques can result in more robust and/or more accurate detections of features of a stream of audio data frames in various situations, such as in environments with strong background noise. In various implementations, described techniques are implemented in combination with an automated assistant, and feature(s) detected utilizing techniques described herein are utilized to adapt the functionality of the automated assistant.
