  • Patent number: 11949946
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to inserting supplemental audio content into primary audio content via digital assistant applications. A data processing system can maintain an audio recording of a content publisher and a content spot marker to specify a content spot that defines a time at which to insert supplemental audio content. The data processing system can receive an input audio signal from a client device. The data processing system can parse the input audio signal to determine that the input audio signal corresponds to a request and can identify the audio recording of the content publisher. The data processing system can identify, responsive to the determination, a content selection parameter. The data processing system can select an audio content item using the content selection parameter. The data processing system can generate and transmit an action data structure including the audio recording inserted with audio content item.

  • Publication number: 20230415038
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for generating and displaying aggregated gaming actions based on proposed game inputs provided via each of multiple remote client devices, related to real-time display of gaining content that is based at least in part on interactions of a first user with a remote gaming device. An indication of one or more proposed game inputs is received from multiple respective remote audience users associated with the multiple remote client devices during the real-time display in response to an indicated solicitation. An aggregated game action is generated based at least in part on the multiple proposed game inputs, and an indication of the aggregated game action is provided to the remote gaming device.

  • Publication number: 20220404155
    Abstract: To predict a likelihood of an error by a user when traversing a route and take preemptive action, a computing device receives a request by a user for navigation directions from a starting location to a destination location via a route. The computing devices provides the set of navigation directions to the user, which includes navigation instructions each including a maneuver and a location on the route for the maneuver. For an upcoming maneuver on the route, the computing device determines a likelihood that the user will incorrectly perform the maneuver. In response to determining that the likelihood is above a threshold likelihood and prior to the user arriving at the location for the maneuver, the computing device generates an alternative set of navigation directions for navigating from a location off the route to the destination location via an alternative route.
