Abstract: In some implementations, a device for providing dual uplink processing paths may include a human listening (HL) input processing unit configured to receive an audio stream and pre-process the audio stream to create a first audio signal adapted for human listening via a first uplink processing path, a machine listening (ML) input processing unit configured to receive the audio stream and pre-process the audio stream to create a second audio signal adapted for machine listening via a second uplink processing path, and a network interface unit configured to transmit the first audio signal via the first uplink processing path and transmit the second audio signal via the second uplink processing path to a remote server.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include receiving a plurality of indicators of interactions of a user with a plurality of locations of a touch-sensitive surface of an input area included in a base portion of a computing device. The method further includes receiving a plurality of indicators of pressure associated with at least a portion of the plurality of interactions, selecting a first interaction profile based on a first portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions and based on a first portion of the plurality of indicators of pressure, associating a first input mode with the first portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions based on the first interaction profile. The method still further includes associating a second input mode with a second portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions based on a second interaction profile different from the first interaction profile.
