  • Patent number: 11978113
    Abstract: Techniques are described for cross-device presentation. During a speech interaction with a conversational user interface (CUI) executing on an input device, such as a personal assistant (PA) device or other computing device, a user may utter one or more search terms to search for an item, such as a vehicle to purchase. The search term(s) may be employed by a search engine to identify one or more items that correspond to the search term(s). The search engine can generate recommendation information that includes a description of the item(s) corresponding to the search term(s). The recommendation information can be communicated to an output device that is registered to, or otherwise associated with, the user who spoke the search term(s) to the input device. In some instances, the recommendation information can be presented through speech output on the PA device or other device.

  • Patent number: 11978544
    Abstract: Described are embodiments of methods and systems for using a removable data storage device to efficiently transfer medical data from a medical device to a remote server. In some embodiments, the medical device tracks transfer statuses of medical data stored on a local storage. A transfer status assigned to a data portion of the medical data may inform the medical device of whether that data portion needs to be transferred, has been transferred, or has been successfully ingested at the remote server. The medical device can use information stored on the removable data storage device in conjunction with the tracked transfer statuses to determine which portions of the stored medical data should be transferred to a physically coupled removable data storage device. After completing a data transfer process, the medical device can update transfer statuses of portions of medical data that was transferred to the removable data storage device.
