Patent number: 10510337Abstract: A method on a mobile device for voice recognition training is described. A voice training mode is entered. A voice training sample for a user of the mobile device is recorded. The voice training mode is interrupted to enter a noise indicator mode based on a sample background noise level for the voice training sample and a sample background noise type for the voice training sample. The voice training mode is returned to from the noise indicator mode when the user provides a continuation input that indicates a current background noise level meets an indicator threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael E. Gunn, Boris Bekkerman, Mark A. Jasiuk, Pratik M. Kamdar, Jeffrey A. Sierawski

Publication number: 20190304460Abstract: A method include placing a first processor in a sleep operating mode and running a second processor that is operative to wake the first processor from the sleep operating mode in response to a speech command phrase. The method includes identifying, by the second processor, a speech command phrase segment and performing a control operation in response to detecting the segment in detected speech. The control operation is performed while the first processor is maintained in the sleep operating mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2019Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Michael E. Gunn, Pratik M. Kamdar

Patent number: 9959431Abstract: Methods and apparatus for displaying potentially private information are disclosed. A computing device, that is showing a breathing view on its touch screen display, detects a peek request event, such as a swipe on the display. Before allowing the user to see potentially private information in response to the peek request, the computing device determines if the computing device is currently locked and if an increased privacy setting is enabled. If the computing device is not locked, or the increased privacy setting is not enabled (even though the computing device may be locked), the computing device shows a full peek view (e.g., some or all of the text from a recent text message). However, if the computing device is locked, and the increased privacy setting is enabled, the computing device shows a secure peek view (e.g., the number of new text messages, but no text from the messages).Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Christian L. Flowers, Michael E. Gunn
