Abstract: A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more virtual assistants via a voice-controlled device. A user may leverage a first virtual assistant to translate a natural language command from a first language into a second language, which the device can forward to a second virtual assistant for processing. The device may receive a command from a user and send input data representing the command to a first speech-processing system representing the first virtual assistant. The device may receive a response in the form of a first natural language output from the first speech-processing system along with an indication that the first natural language output should be directed to a second speech-processing system representing the second virtual assistant. For example, the command may be in the first language, and the first natural language output may be in the second language, which is understandable by the second speech-processing system.

Abstract: A user device may include a first and second wakeword-detection components. If the first wakeword-detection component determines that first audio data includes a representation of a first wakeword, the user device communicates with a first speech-processing system corresponding to the first wakeword. While the communication is ongoing, if a second wakeword-detection component determines that second audio data includes a representation of a second wakeword, the second audio data is not send to a corresponding second speech-processing system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for enabling anonymous financial transactions to be conducted using mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Preferred embodiments of the system comprise an entitlement system that validates information to enable anonymous payments and receipt of payments using mobile devices. Payments may be initiated by communicating a desire to make a payment to a nearby payee. Preferred embodiments utilize short-range communication to form an electronic agreement between the payer and payee as to the payment of an amount from the payer to the payee. Further, the system uses the methods described herein for completing the transactions in an anonymous manner, preventing disclosure of the identities of both the Payer and Payee.
