  • Natural language understanding with affiliated devices
    Patent number: 10504513
    Abstract: A dock device connects participating devices such as a tablet device and an audio activated device, allowing them to operate as a single device. These participating devices may be associated with different accounts, each account being associated with particular “speechlets” or data processing functions. A natural language understanding (NLU) system uses NLU models to process text obtained from an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to determine a set of possible intents. A second set of possible intents may then be generated that is limited to those possible intents that correspond to the speechlets associated with the docked device. The intents within the second set of possible intents are ranked, and the highest ranked intent may be deemed to be the intent of the user. Command data corresponding to the highest ranked intent may be generated and used to perform the action associated with that intent.
