  • Hot-word free pre-emption of automated assistant response presentation
    Patent number: 12125477
    Abstract: The presentation of an automated assistant response may be selectively pre-empted in response to a hot-word free utterance that is received during the presentation and that is determined to be likely directed to the automated assistant. The determination that the utterance is likely directed to the automated assistant may be performed, for example, using an utterance classification operation that is performed on audio data received during presentation of the response, and based upon such a determination, the response may be pre-empted with another response associated with the later-received utterance. In addition, the duration that is used to determine when a session should be terminated at the conclusion of a conversation between a user and an automated assistant may be dynamically controlled based upon when the presentation of a response has completed.

  • Set-up of media stream transmission and server and client for media stream transmission
    Patent number: 12126660
    Abstract: A media stream is transmitted from a server device to a client device. The client device (10) transmits set-up request messages (43a), discovery messages (44b) and a play command message (45a). The server receives versions of the set-up request messages 43b), the discovery message (44b) and the play message (45b) with matching identifier in the payloads if the messages. The server device (12) receives the discovery messages (44b) on a predetermined port and stores information recording that the discovery messages (44b) have been received, at least when no corresponding set-up request message 43b has been received before. The server device (12) compares the identifiers from the received set up request message (43b) and the discovery message (44b) according to the information recording reception, at least when the discovery message (44b) has been received before the set-up request message (43b).

  • Mobile photobooth
    Patent number: 12126774
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for photographing vehicles in a deployable photobooth structure that avoids corner lighting issues common with angular shaped photobooths. The walls of the photobooth are made of an opaque fabric or panels. A frame supports photographic lighting, as well as rods from which the fabric that forms the walls is hung. The photobooth itself may be hung from a ceiling and deployed downward or retracted upward to a ceiling. The photobooth may also be mobile and used in outdoor settings. If not hung, vertical support legs may be used to support the frame above the floor or ground. Low volume car photos are obtained where a user walks about the inside perimeter of the photobooth and takes a series of photographs or video. The images or video may then be manipulated by computer to provide seamless reflection free 360 degree images.

  • System and method for hash value confirmation of electronic communications
    Patent number: 12126727
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for ensuring electronic communications have not been intercepted and manipulated. An exemplary device generates a public/private pair of keys, and transmits the public key to another device with information about the data to be shared. The second device encrypts associated data, while also executing a hash function on at least a portion of the data. The first device receives the encrypted data, decrypts it, and verifies its accuracy using a third party. The third party also executes the hash function on the data received from the first device, and transmits the output of that hash function to the first device. Both the first device and second devices and display the hash values, allowing users to visually determine if the data has been manipulated during the transaction.
