Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for using user feedback to determine routing decisions in a speech processing system. In various examples, first data representing a first utterance may be received. Second data representing a first semantic interpretation of the first utterance may be determined. A first intent data processing application may be selected for processing the second data. Feedback data may be determined related to the first intent data processing application processing the second data. Third data representing a semantic interpretation of a second utterance may be received, wherein the first semantic interpretation is the same as the second semantic interpretation. A second intent data processing application may be determined for processing the third data based at least in part on the feedback data.

Abstract: A processor-implemented electronic device input method includes: identifying input items configured to receive information on a displayed screen, by performing either one or both of a layout analysis and an image analysis with respect to the screen; tagging one of the input items with a text token extracted from a speech recognition result of a speech signal; and inputting the tagged text token into the one of the input items.

Abstract: One variation of a method for securing synthetic video conference feeds includes, during a setup period: accessing a target image depicting a face of a user; generating a face model based on a target set of facial features detected in the target image; and linking the face model to a target set of facial biometric values of the user. The method also includes, during an operating period succeeding the setup period: accessing a frame; deriving characteristics of a set of facial features detected in the frame; extracting a set of facial biometric values from the frame; in response to alignment between the target set of facial biometric values and the set of facial biometric values, generating a synthetic face image based on characteristics of the set of facial features, the face model, and a synthetic face generator; and rendering the synthetic face image in place of the frame.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device that includes a reception unit configured to receive data from a communication destination, a generation unit configured to generate spatial image information placed at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional space by using captured images of a plurality of the communication destinations, and a display control unit configured to perform control so as to display the generated spatial image information on a display unit.

Abstract: A communication system receives a request to establish a call between the communication system and a remote client device. The communication system sends a command to a television connected to the communication system that instructs the television to turn on and set its input source. The communication system requests a state of the television from the television. In response to receiving a response from the television indicating that the television configured for video output from the communication system, the communication system outputs video and audio received from the remote client device to the television, activates a camera of the communication system, and transmits video and audio from the communication system to the remote client device.

Abstract: A software platform includes emergency event processing functionality for detecting and mapping emergency event occurrences. The emergency event processing includes call path processing for concurrently routing an emergency call from a device registered with the software platform for a customer thereof to a public safety access point and to a monitoring device of the customer. The concurrent routing enables an operator of the monitoring device to join the emergency call, for example, by monitoring the call to determine how to notify other operators of the customer of the subject emergency event or by participating in the call to assist in the emergency event response. The concurrent routing may further automate, and therefore expedite, the signaling of an emergency event to others at the location of the emergency event, such as to prevent further risk of harm.

Abstract: Implementations relate to enabling of authorization of certain automated assistant functions via one or more modalities available within a vehicle. Implementations can eliminate wasting of computational and communication resources by at least allowing other users to authorize execution of certain input commands from a user, without requesting the user to re-submit the commands. The vehicle can include a computing device that provides access to restricted data, which can be accessed in order for an action to be performed by the automated assistant. However, when a restricted user requests that the automated assistant perform an action involving accessing the restricted data, the automated assistant can be authorized or unauthorized to proceed with fulfilling the request via a modality controlled by an unrestricted user.

Abstract: A system is provided for determining subscription data when a user requests to receive an output in the future when an event occurs. The system may determine an output type based on the capabilities of the output device and a trigger type. The system may determine a trigger type based on the priority of the triggering event. The system may also determine how many times the subscription is to be executed. Using this information, the system creates the subscription so that the user may receive a notification or an announcement when an event occurs.

Abstract: A telepresence communication system for group meeting rooms and personal home and office systems provides improved human factor experience through substantially life size images with eye level camera placement. The system provides switched presence interfaces so that conferees can select when to transmit their images during a conference and optionally provides individual microphones for each of conferee. Switched presence between presets of conferees are viewed on multipoint windows overlaying life-size images upon eye contact camera regions and eliminate seeing camera image movement during pan, tilt and zoom operations. An ambient light rejecting filter system enables an eye level camera to be hidden behind a projection screen and provides bright, high contrast images under normal meeting room and office environments.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for generating a transcript of a meeting using individual audio recordings of speakers in the meeting. The system obtains an audio recording file from each speaker in the meeting, generates a speaker-specific transcript for each speaker using the audio recording of the corresponding speaker, and merges the speaker-specific transcripts to generate a meeting transcript that includes text of a speech from all speakers in the meeting. As the system generates speaker specific transcripts using speaker-specific (high quality) audio recordings, the need for “diarization” is removed, the audio quality of recording of each speaker is maximized, leading to virtually lossless recordings, and resulting in an improved transcription quality and analysis.

Abstract: A communication server facilitates a video call between client devices of a plurality of participants. During the video call, the communication server identifies an in-call activity to recommend to the plurality of participants in the video call based on user information. The in-call activity is selected to be relevant to each of the plurality of participants and jointly recommended to the plurality of participants of the video call. To identify the recommended in-call activity, the communication server may determine common interests among the plurality of participants and select an in-call activity that is associated with the common interests. After the recommended in-call activity is selected, an indication of the recommended in-call activity is provided to the client devices to enable the client devices to display a user interface including the in-call activity to the participants during the video call.
