Publication number: 20240036712Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-based device operation mode management. Example methods may include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, and determining that being coupled to the accessory device triggers activation of a first operation mode at the device. The first operation mode presents digital content at the display in a user interface having a first content density that is less than a second content density of a second operation mode. Example methods may include causing the device to activate the first operation mode, receiving first voice data indicative of a request to change the device operation mode to the second operation mode, and causing the device to activate the second operation mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 11862174Abstract: Techniques for processing voice commands from a locked device are described. A voice command received by a locked device is stored, a prompt requesting that the device be unlocked is generated, and the voice command is processed automatically after the device is unlocked. Thus, the system processes the voice command without the user repeating the voice command. In addition, the system may process certain voice commands even when the device is locked. For example, a whitelist filter compares an intent associated with the voice command to whitelisted intents from a whitelist database before the intent is dispatched to a speechlet, and intents included in the whitelist database are processed normally. Thus, the system performs certain voice commands while the device is locked, while other voice commands may be automatically processed after the device is unlocked without the user repeating the voice command.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Haitang Wang, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani

Publication number: 20220101861Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications. Example methods may include receiving first audio data representing an utterance, determining that the device is in a first operating mode when the audio data was received, determining that the device is in a locked state when the audio data is received, and receiving, from a remote system, a command to display information based at least on part on the audio data. Certain methods may include receiving an indication that the utterance was spoken by a user authorized to access the information while in the first operating mode and the locked state, and causing presentation of the information by the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 10885910Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-forward graphical user interface mode management. Example methods include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, determining that being coupled to the accessory device causes the device to deactivate a first operating mode and activate a second operating mode, where the second operating mode has a lower content density than the first operating mode, and determining that an application setting of an application executing on the device is causing the device to remain in the first operating mode. Example methods may include determining that a new value is associated with the application setting, and causing the device to activate the second operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain
