Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for device location are described herein. Location information of a lost control device may be determined based on sensing signatures according to various modalities. The sensing signatures may be based on responses to activated functions of the lost remote control. The location information may be determined based on an instruction received while the lost remote control is in an active state. Frequently lost remote controls may be in the active state more frequently. An alternative remote control may be selected as a substitute for the lost remote control before the lost remote control is found. The alternative remote control may be configured to control a device previously controlled by the lost remote control.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for keyword detection. A first detector device may receive audio and process the audio to determine a confidence value regarding presence of a keyword. A copy of the audio may be passed to a second detector device to perform additional testing for the audio. The first detector device may take an action before or after sending to the second detector device based on the confidence value.
