Publication number: 20240036712Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-based device operation mode management. Example methods may include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, and determining that being coupled to the accessory device triggers activation of a first operation mode at the device. The first operation mode presents digital content at the display in a user interface having a first content density that is less than a second content density of a second operation mode. Example methods may include causing the device to activate the first operation mode, receiving first voice data indicative of a request to change the device operation mode to the second operation mode, and causing the device to activate the second operation mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Publication number: 20220101861Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications. Example methods may include receiving first audio data representing an utterance, determining that the device is in a first operating mode when the audio data was received, determining that the device is in a locked state when the audio data is received, and receiving, from a remote system, a command to display information based at least on part on the audio data. Certain methods may include receiving an indication that the utterance was spoken by a user authorized to access the information while in the first operating mode and the locked state, and causing presentation of the information by the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 11290359Abstract: A method for verifying video statistics of a content hosting platform includes enrolling, by a measurement service, a client device as a panel client device to provide panel reports independent of the content hosting platform, and sending a panel sniffer module to the panel client device. The panel sniffer module to cause the panel client device to send panel reports to the measurement service, and the panel reports include first video statistics of playback of a video by a player executing on the panel client device. The method also includes receiving a panel report from the panel client device and receiving a measurement report from the content hosting platform. The measurement report is generated by the content hosting platform and includes second video statistics of the playback. The method also includes verifying accuracy of the second video statistics by comparing the first video statistics to the second video statistics.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Zinovy Shkolnikov, Rohit Makhija, Baljeet Singh, Andy Stack, John Callaway, Eric Mayers, Mark Yoshitake

Patent number: 10885910Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-forward graphical user interface mode management. Example methods include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, determining that being coupled to the accessory device causes the device to deactivate a first operating mode and activate a second operating mode, where the second operating mode has a lower content density than the first operating mode, and determining that an application setting of an application executing on the device is causing the device to remain in the first operating mode. Example methods may include determining that a new value is associated with the application setting, and causing the device to activate the second operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 10038613Abstract: A census server provides measurement reports describing clients accessing a specified network-based service to a measurement agency via a network. The census server receives census events from clients used by users via the network. The census events describe usage of a network-based service by the clients. The census server processes the census events to produce measurement reports describing the usage of the network-based service. The processing includes filtering specified information out of the census events to prevent the measurement reports from identifying the users of the clients. The measurement agency may use the measurement reports, for example, to describe how the clients tend to access and use the service.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2013Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Zinovy Shkolnikov, Rohit Makhija, Baljeet Singh, Andy Stack, John Callaway, Eric Mayers, Mark Yoshitake

Publication number: 20050071216Abstract: An interactive network guide acts as a computer-based decision support aid for computer novices to design and build a network, such as for a home or small office environment. The guide presents a sequence of questions to gather input data from a user describing the user's computers and environment. The guide evaluates this input data and presents one or more suitable network topologies, which may include hybrid solutions. The guide then dynamically generates a network diagram, shopping list and setup instructions for the user's selection from the suitable network topologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Mark Yoshitake, Craig Kitterman, Danielle Harder, James Lally
