Publication number: 20230336544Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that perform structure-based access control. In particular, rather than relying upon a user-specific credential scheme, which can require manual sharing of user-specific credentials and/or switching between the multiple accounts to access the particular devices, applications, or services associated with such accounts, the systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate user credentials to be inherited by or otherwise assigned to a structure identifier associated with a structure (e.g., a home in which the user resides), thereby generating a set of structure credentials. This enables other users in the structure, who may be part of a collaborative user group, to access devices, applications, and/or services using the structure credentials.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Mark Spates, IV, Vincent Yanton Mo, Zhenguo Guan, David Roy Schairer

Publication number: 20230186915Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to processing voice commands or utterances. For instance, data indicative of a voice utterance can be received. A device topology representation can be accessed. The device topology representation can define a plurality of smart devices associated with one or more structures. The device topology representation can further define a location of each of the plurality of devices within the associated structures. A transcription of the voice utterance can be determined based at least in part on the device topology representation. One or more selected devices and one or more actions to be performed by the one or more selected devices can be determined based at least in part on the determined transcription and the device topology representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Barnaby John James, David Roy Schairer, Amy Lynn Baldwin, Vincent Yanton Mo, Jun Yang, Mark Spates, Lei Zhong
