Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are selecting an interactive voice response option are described. An interactive voice response system may provide a message that is associated with interactive voice response options. The interactive voice response system may provide a prompt to provide an input to select at least one of the interactive voice response options. Selection of an interactive voice response option may be based on the timing of the input. Furthermore, an action may be performed based on the interactive voice response option that corresponds to the timing of the input.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing voice commands are disclosed. A voice controlled device may receive audio data comprising a voice command. Location information indicative of the source of the audio data may be determined. One or more devices may be caused to determine signals based on the location information. The one or more devices may receive thermal data in response to the signals. The thermal data may be analyzed to determine if the thermal data indicates the presence of a person at the expected location. If a person is detected, then the audio data may processed to cause the voice command to be executed.

Abstract: A vehicle seat storage system includes a center passenger seat disposed between side passenger seats. The center seat includes a seat base and a seat back. A reclining mechanism mounted to one of side frame members of the seat base allows the seat back to move relative to the seat base. Seat anchors are disposed outwardly of the side frame members for securing a child seat. The center seat has a seating condition where the center seat is attached to a vehicle floor, and a stowed condition where the center seat is unattached from the floor with the seat back folded against the seat base. A vehicle interior sidewall includes a recessed portion configured to receive the center seat in the stowed condition. A lock mechanism provided in the recessed portion releasably engages the center seat when positioned in the recessed portion.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to audio correction are described. A first portion of content including first spoken audio content indicating first word(s) may be determined. Background audio content of the first portion of the content may be determined. A voice profile may be determined based on the first spoken audio content. Based on the voice profile, second spoken audio content indicating second word(s) to replace the first word(s) may be generated. Based on mixing the background audio content and the second spoken audio content, a second portion of content may be determined. In the content, the first portion of the content may be replaced with the generated second portion of content.
