Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for detecting synchronization errors between audio and video signals. Scene changes may be detected based on anchor frames. Offsets between a scene change in a video signal and a reduced audio level or burst of high audio level in the audio signal may indicate a synchronization error.

Abstract: A voice controlled device may be blocked from accessing a network. Another computing device may receive audio data comprising a voice command associated with controlling the voice controlled device. If a trigger condition for unblocking network access is detected, the computing device may send data to a network device to cause the network device to unblock network access. The network access may be blocked again if a triggering condition for blocking network access is satisfied.

Abstract: A communications access point may provide access to a wireless communications network to a user device located at a first location. The communications access point may determine that the user device is moving from the first location to a second location where access to the wireless network is limited or not available. In response to the determination, the communications access point may provide access to the wireless network at the second location by extending a coverage area of the wireless network.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using voice (e.g., voice commands) to control a plurality of network devices via a motion sensing control device are provided. A control device can detect movement (e.g., a gesture) associated with the control device. Based on the movement satisfying a predefined condition, the control device can initiate a either a direct or a proxy communication session with a remote computing device. The communication session can be established and maintained for a predefined period such that data associated with a command can be immediately transmitted to the remote computing device. Thus, when a voice command is received, data associated with the command can be transmitted over the already established communication session to the remote computing device. The remote computing device can provide a response to the control device and/or transmit a command code associated with the voice command to one or more devices intended to be controlled.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for pairing a remote control with a controllable device using audio to confirm device pairings. The controllable device and remote control may communicate using low power protocols such as, for example, RF4CE, WiFi and/or Bluetooth low energy (BLE). The controllable device and the remote control may record and/or fingerprint audio. Corresponding audio and/or fingerprints may indicate proximity and cause the devices to initiate a pairing sequence. The audio may be any kind of audio, including for example, ambient noise, TV audio, and the like.

Abstract: An apparatus, such as a doorbell, may include a doorbell housing. The doorbell housing may include a front surface facing exterior of a premises and a rear surface facing interior of the premises. A camera, doorbell activator, motion sensor, and/or light source may be at least partially positioned within the doorbell housing. An antenna may be positioned within the doorbell housing. The antenna may be configured to send a wireless signal comprising data to a data receiving device inside the premises. A reflective member may be positioned within the doorbell housing and configured to reflect at least a portion of the wireless signal that is sent toward the front surface of the doorbell housing.

Abstract: A system for storing and moving data based on the location of a user or a change in location of a user is described herein. Data associated with a user may be stored at one or more storage devices associated with a location of the user. Some or all of the data associated with the user may be moved to one or more other storage devices if, for example, the user moves to a different location or is expected to move to a different location, so that the user's data may be more efficiently accessed by the user.
