Abstract: A system, device and method for enforcing privacy during a communication session with a voice assistant are disclosed. In response to a determination that an environment of a first voice assistant device is not private, a first secure communication session between the first voice assistant device and an application server is suspended. In response a determination that one or more other voice assistant devices have been authorized for communication with the application server is made and input to transfer the first secure communication session, a second secure communication session between a second voice assistant device and the application server is initiated. The first secure communication session between the first voice assistant device and the application server is terminated in response to successful initiation of the second secure communication session.

Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented devices, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, perform dynamic biometric authentication based on distributed ledger data. For example, a device may compute a first hash value based on first biometric data captured by a sensor unit, and may transmit a request to, and receive a response from, a computing system across a communications network via the communications unit. The request may cause the computing system to execute instructions maintained within the distributed ledger data, and to extract second biometric data maintained within an element of the distributed ledger data. The second biometric data may include a second hash, which the computing system may incorporate into the response. The device may authenticate an identity associated with the device when the first hash value corresponds to the second hash value incorporated within the response.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for personalizing interactions within a conversational interface based on an input context. One example system performs operations including receiving a conversational input received via a conversational interface. The conversational input is analyzed to determine an intent and lexical personality score based on the input's characteristics.

A set of synonym tokens associated with at least some of the initial tokens are identified, and at least one synonym token associated with a similar lexical personality score to the input is determined. At least one of the initial tokens are replaced with the determined synonym token to generate a modified version of the set of response content. The modified version of the response is then transmitted to a device in response to the input.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring a user session between at least two electronic devices are described. The user session is conducted as an audible session via an audible interface provided by a primarily audible first electronic device. Input data is received from the audible interface, wherein the input data causes the audible interface to progress through audible interface states. A current audible interface state is mapped to a visual interface state defined for a visual interface. The mapped visual interface state is pushed to a second electronic device having a visual output device for displaying the visual interface, to enable the user session to be continued as a visual session on the second electronic device.

Abstract: A computing device configured to communicate with a display provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and receives gestural input interacting with the GUI from input device. The computing device produces a region on the display to undo a previously performed action. Upon receiving input at the region via the input device, a counter is initiated to count an amount of time the input is consecutively received at the region. Upon the counter reaching a predetermined threshold, an action is executed to undo the previously performed action. A progress of the counter may be indicated. The progress may be indicated by altering the display at the region or a different region. The GUI at the region may display an empty progress bar before the input and be filled in response to the progress. A message may be communicated to invoke an undo operation by another device.
