Abstract: A method performed by a network node, for handling an outgoing call from a first user in a communications network. The network node receives a request for the outgoing call to be set up via a first persona out of multiple personas associated with the first user, which request is obtained as a voice instruction from the first user via a Digital Assistant device. The voice instruction comprises a personalized name associated with the first persona of the first user. The network node identifies among the multiple personas associated with the first user, an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) user ID corresponding to the first persona based on the personalized name received in the voice instruction. The network node sends to an IMS node in the communications network, the identified IMS user ID, and a request to initiate the outgoing call via the first persona of the first user.

Abstract: A conference system automatically detects a topic in a discussion between two or more participants in a conference based on a real-time transcription of an audio component of the conference. The conference system determines that the discussion is a side conversation based on a determination that the topic is not related to any discussion points of the conference. The conference system determines which participants are related to the side conversation and schedules a future conference between these participants. The conference system generates one or more discussion points for the future conference based on the topic.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to provide processing that automatically analyzes acoustic signals from attendees of a live presentation and automatically triggers corresponding reaction indications from results of analysis thereof. Exemplary reaction indications provide feedback for live presentations that can be presented in real-time (or near real-time) without requiring a user to manually take action to provide any feedback. As a non-limiting example, reaction indications may be presented in a form that is easy to visualize and understand such as emojis or icons. Another example of a reaction indication is a graphical user interface (GUI) notification that provides a predictive indication of user intent derived from analysis of acoustic signals.

Abstract: Implementations relate to generating standardized metrics from device specific metrics that are generated during an interaction between a user and an automated assistant. The metrics indicate events that occurred while processing an interaction of a user with the automated assistant and are specific to the particular configuration of the device with which the user is interacting. Conversion mappings are determined based on device characteristics that can be utilized to convert the device metrics into standardized metrics. Analysis metrics are generated based on the standardized metrics that are incapable of being generated from the device metrics. Some implementations include visually rendering the analysis metrics such that one or more of the analysis metrics are rendered more prominently than other metrics.

The system thereby operates more efficiently and/or is more scalable.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for filtering a redundant data packet at a node in a Bluetooth Mesh network. The method comprises the following steps: providing a deduplication filtering cache for storing a combined field value of one or more specified fields of each of one or more Bluetooth Mesh data packets received by the node; upon receipt of a Bluetooth Mesh data packet by the node, comparing a combined field value of one or more specified fields of the data packet with each combined field value stored in the deduplication filtering cache, so as to determine whether the received Bluetooth Mesh data packet is a redundant data packet. Compared with the prior art, the method of the present disclosure may help to determine whether the data packet is the redundant data packet without decrypting the encrypted fields and de-obfuscating the obfuscated fields, which greatly simplifies the processing flow.
