  • Publication number: 20240031482
    Abstract: A computing device is described that accepts, a telephone call, from another device, initiated by a caller. Prior to establishing a telephone user interface that receives spoken input from the user and outputs spoken audio from the caller, the computing device executes a call screening service that outputs an audio user interface, to the other device and as part of the telephone call. The audio user interface interrogates the caller for additional information including a purpose of the telephone call, which allows the user to have more context of the telephone call before deciding whether to accept the call or hang up. The computing device outputs a graphical user interface associated with telephone call. The graphical user interface includes an indication of the additional information obtained via the audio user interface that interrogates the caller.

  • Patent number: 11858329
    Abstract: A vehicle has a body and a high-voltage accumulator, which is attached to the body via fastening elements, and at least one central connector, which is different from the fastening elements and which is designed to support the body on the high-voltage accumulator. The central connector has a rubber mount with a threaded sleeve, which has a cylindrical wall with an internal thread and an external thread. The external thread is engaged with a compensation bushing. A screw element for connecting the body and rubber mount is screwed into the internal thread, and the rubber mount extends between the body and the high-voltage accumulator.

  • Patent number: 11805208
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, at a mobile computing device that is associated with a called user, a call from a calling computing device that is associated with a calling user; in response to receiving the call, determining, by the mobile computing device, that data associated with the called user indicates that the called user will not respond to the call; in response to determining that the called user will not respond to the call, inferring, by the mobile computing device, an informational need of the calling user; and automatically providing, from the mobile computing device to the calling computing device, information associated with the called user and that satisfies the inferred informational need of the calling user.

  • Publication number: 20230267942
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for audio-visual speech separation. A method includes: receiving, by a user device, a first indication of one or more first speakers visible in a current view recorded by a camera of the user device, in response, generating a respective isolated speech signal for each of the one or more first speakers that isolates speech of the first speaker in the current view and sending the isolated speech signals for each of the one or more first speakers to a listening device operatively coupled to the user device, receiving, by the user device, a second indication of one or more second speakers visible in the current view recorded by the camera of the user device, and in response generating and sending a respective isolated speech signal for each of the one or more second speakers to the listening device.

  • Publication number: 20230096274
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for filtering content at the operating system level. In one aspect, a method includes accessing, at a user device, data that includes content items that are to be presented by an application executing on the user device; prior to the content being presented by the application: for each content item, determining, at the user device and by a filtering model, whether the content item is to be presented by the application or filtered, for each content item that is determined to be presented by the application, allowing the application to present the content item, and for each content item that is determined to be filtered, precluding, by the filtering model by a system level filtering operation performed at an operating system level and separate from an application level at which the application is executing, presentation of the content item by the application.

  • Publication number: 20220148614
    Abstract: Techniques and computing devices are described that automatically caption content directly from audio data being output from content sources, unlike other captioning systems which often rely on information contained in audio signals being sent to speakers. The disclosed techniques and computing devices may analyze metadata to determine whether the audio data is suitable for captioning or whether the audio data is some other type of audio data. Responsive to identifying audio data for captioning, the disclosed techniques and computing devices can generate a description of audible sounds interpreted from the audio data, providing for the automatic captioning of content and making audible content accessible to many users who have difficulty hearing or are otherise unable to listen to content.

  • Publication number: 20050257196
    Abstract: A method of generating a service from at least one existing (legacy) computer software application executable on a MICROSOFT WINDOWS® operating system includes navigating the application(s), intercepting messages between the application(s) and a MICROSOFT WINDOWS® operating system at a WINDOWS messaging layer to automatically capture a plurality of controls and data and to automatically record a script for the application(s), and generating a service for executing the script. The service may be invoked by a Web client or application to exploit the functionality of the legacy application(s).
