  • Patent number: 11948553
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for audio processing operations that evaluate characteristics of audio signals that are independent of the speaker's voice. A neural network architecture trains and applies discriminatory neural networks tasked with modeling and classifying speaker-independent characteristics. The task-specific models generate or extract feature vectors from input audio data based on the trained embedding extraction models. The embeddings from the task-specific models are concatenated to form a deep-phoneprint vector for the input audio signal. The DP vector is a low dimensional representation of the each of the speaker-independent characteristics of the audio signal and applied in various downstream operations.

  • Patent number: 10620772
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing universal back navigation for multiple windows. Universal back navigation allows universal back functionality to transition between operating in an in-application context and a cross-application context. In the in-application context, operation of the universal back functionality is restricted to functionality of an application (e.g., a single application) to which user instructions are to be currently directed by default. In the cross-application context, operation of the universal back functionality is not restricted to functionality of the application to which user instructions are to be currently directed by default.

  • Patent number: 10599255
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for computing. An apparatus may include a display screen of a computing device, and an on-screen input interface controller co-located with the display screen. The apparatus may also include a receiver co-located with the display screen to wirelessly receive an off-screen input from an off-screen input support device of the computing device. The off-screen input support device may be separately located from the display screen. The on-screen input interface controller may process an on-screen input provided via an interaction between an on-screen input device and the display screen. In addition, the on-screen input interface controller may further process the off-screen input received by the receiver. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10585708
    Abstract: Multiple electronic devices may be used together in a system. The electronic devices may use sensor measurements and other information to detect when an edge of a first electronic device is adjacent to an edge of a second electronic device. In response to detection of adjacency between the edges of the first and second devices, the devices may transition from an independent operating mode in which each device operates separately to a joint operating mode in which resources of the devices are shared. In the joint operating mode, images may extend across displays in the devices, speakers in the devices may be used to play different channels of an audio track, cameras and other sensors may be used in cooperation with each other, and other resources may be shared. Magnetic components may hold devices together in a variety of orientations.

  • Patent number: 10572095
    Abstract: Methods and devices for selectively presenting a virtual keyboard are provided. More particularly, upon the receipt of instructions to launch an application, a determination can be made as to whether the application is associated with instructions to receive keyboard focus on launch. If the application is to receive keyboard focus on launch, a virtual keyboard is presented together with the newly launched application. Where an application is not set to receive keyboard focus on launch, a virtual keyboard that is presented when instructions to launch the application are received can be dismissed.

  • Patent number: 10514831
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for handling focus when a gesture is input in a multi-screen device. In embodiments, the gesture indicates that two images, one that is in focus, swap positions. In response to receiving the gesture, the image in focus is moved from a first display of a first screen to a second display of a second screen. After the images are swapped, the focus is maintained on the image that originally had the focus.

  • Patent number: 10469666
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products for allowing an agent to interact with a party using multiple channels of communication. A notification is received of a communication involving a party that uses a first channel of communication. In response, a first communication session is identified that involves a series of communications between the party and an agent using a second channel of communication different than the first channel of communication. Furthermore, a communication assembly linked with the first communication session is identified that represents an interaction taking place between the agent and the party. Accordingly, a second communication session is begun for the communication and is linked with the assembly. The communication is then routed to the agent so that the agent can interact with the party over the first channel of communication while interacting with the party over the second channel of communication.

  • Patent number: 10416851
    Abstract: A content publisher can use a publisher tool to tag various content elements, which enables a user viewing content from the publisher to view related advertising. In at least some embodiments, the tool is a toolbar that the publisher can use to tag content elements such as images and text, whereby the toolbar can recommend related items to be linked to those content elements. The items can be associated with an entity, such as an advertiser or electronic retailer, that will provide some level of compensation to the publisher in return for the linking. Such an approach enables the publisher to monetize the content in a way that is minimally intrusive for the end user.
