  • Patent number: 11783833
    Abstract: A system is provided for modifying how an output is presented via a multi-device synchronous configuration based on detecting a speech characteristic in the user input. For example, if the user whispers a request, then the system may temporarily modify how the responsive output is presented to the user via multiple devices. In one example, the system may lower the volume on all devices presented the output. In another example, the system may present the output via a single device rather than multiple devices. The system may also determine to operate in a alternate output mode based on certain non-audio data.

  • Patent number: 11768245
    Abstract: In a status detection system, a data acquisition circuit monitors statuses of a battery to generate status data. A storage medium stores a set of lookup tables. A lookup table of the lookup tables includes a set of datasets corresponding to a set of time frames. Each dataset includes digital values of parameters of the battery obtained in a corresponding time frame of the time frames. A controller receives the status data and updates the lookup tables based on the status data. The controller also obtains a current dataset of the parameters based on the status data, searches the lookup table for a previous dataset that matches the current dataset, compares a current value of a parameter in the current dataset with a previous value of the parameter in the previous dataset, and determines whether a potential fault is present in the battery based on a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11756546
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to employing dynamic regulations for governing responsiveness of multiple automated assistant devices, and specifically the responsiveness an automated assistant to a given spoken utterance that has been acknowledged by two or more of the assistant devices. The dynamic regulations can be context-dependent and adapted over time in order that the automated assistant can accommodate assistant interaction preferences that may vary from user to user. For instance, a spoken utterance such as “stop,” may be intended to affect different assistant actions based on a context in which the user provided the spoken utterance. The context can refer to a location of the user relative to other rooms in a home, a time of day, a user providing the spoken utterance, an arrangement of the assistant devices within a home, and/or a state of each device in the home.
