  • Patent number: 11984123
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to triggering voice assistant(s) on a network microphone device (NMD). An NMD is a networked computing device that typically includes an arrangement of microphones, such as a microphone array, that is configured to detect sound present in the NMD's environment. Once the voice assistant is triggered, the NMD may start recording voice input as a potential voice command. Within examples, the NMD may operate in a wakewordless mode if certain conditions are met. These conditions may involve detecting user proximity in one of multiple different ranges. For instance, an example NMD may monitor for user proximity in a first range from the playback device via at least one touch-sensitive sensor and/or user line-of-sight in a second range that is further from the playback device than the first range. When either user proximity or user line-of-sight is detected, the NMD may enables the wakewordless mode.

  • Publication number: 20050289651
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an access device for securing logical access to information and/or computing resources in a group of computer equipment while slowing down logical access as little as possible. The group of computer equipment exchanges data with a computer telecommunication network, via said access device. The data include transported data that conform to at least one application protocol, as well as transport data. The access device comprises an operating system that includes an appropriate analysis module for each applicative protocol, filtering means for filtering said transported data in said operating system, by means of said analysis modules.
