  • Publication number: 20230315378
    Abstract: A computing system can implement a computer-implemented method for providing selective control of an acoustic environment of a user. The computer-implemented method can include determining a selected audio source of a plurality of audio sources in an environment of a user based at least in part on a selection user input at a peripheral device, where the peripheral device is in communication with the computing system. The computer-implemented method can include receiving a configuration user input at the peripheral device, where the configuration user input is indicative of an intent to configure an audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source. The computer-implemented method can include, in response to receiving the configuration user input, configuring the audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source based at least in part on the configuration user input.

  • Publication number: 20230156401
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating audio presentations are provided. A method can include obtaining data indicative of an acoustic environment for a user; obtaining data indicative of one or more events; generating, by an artificial intelligence system, an audio presentation for the user based at least in part on the data indicative of the one or more events and the data indicative of the acoustic environment for the user; and presenting the audio presentation to the user. The acoustic environment can include at least one of a first audio signal playing on the computing system or a second audio signal associated with a surrounding environment of the user. The one or more events can include at least one of information to be conveyed by the computing system to the user or at least a portion of the second audio signal associated with the surrounding environment of the user.

  • Patent number: 11514672
    Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and devices for generating semantic objects and an output based on the detection or recognition of the state of an environment that includes objects. State data, based in part on sensor output, can be received from one or more sensors that detect a state of an environment including objects. Based in part on the state data, semantic objects are generated. The semantic objects can correspond to the objects and include a set of attributes. Based in part on the set of attributes of the semantic objects, one or more operating modes, associated with the semantic objects can be determined. Based in part on the one or more operating modes, object outputs associated with the semantic objects can be generated. The object outputs can include one or more visual indications or one or more audio indications.

  • Patent number: 11500477
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage an artificial intelligence system and/or provide user interface mechanisms particularly suited for interacting and/or interfacing with an artificial intelligence system. A computing system can include a camera, a light-emitting device, and an artificial intelligence system that comprises one or more machine-learned models. The computing system can include a processor and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain an image of a scene captured by the camera; generate an attention output that describes at least one region of the scene that includes a subject of a processing operation performed by the artificial intelligence system; and control the light-emitting device to emit light onto or adjacent a region of the scene that includes the subject of the processing operation performed by the artificial intelligence system.

  • Publication number: 20220291789
    Abstract: A computing system can include an artificial intelligence system including one or more machine-learned models. The artificial intelligence system can be configured to receive context data and output data descriptive of a plurality of available control actions available for performance by the artificial intelligence system on behalf of a user of the computing system. The computing system can be configured to perform operations including obtaining the context data; inputting the context data into the artificial intelligence system; receiving, as an output of the artificial intelligence system, the data descriptive of the plurality of available control actions available for performance by the artificial intelligence system; and providing, within a user interface for display to a user, an artificial intelligence control surface. The artificial intelligence control surface can include a plurality of user-selectable tiles.

  • Patent number: 11289084
    Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and devices for generating semantic objects and an output based on the detection or recognition of the state of an environment that includes objects. State data, based in part on sensor output, can be received from one or more sensors that detect a state of an environment including objects. Based in part on the state data, semantic objects are generated. The semantic objects can correspond to the objects and include a set of attributes. Based in part on the set of attributes of the semantic objects, one or more operating modes, associated with the semantic objects can be determined. Based in part on the one or more operating modes, object outputs associated with the semantic objects can be generated. The object outputs can include one or more visual indications or one or more audio indications.
