Publication number: 20230169979Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting, processing, and responding to audio signals, including speech signals, within a designated area or space. A platform for multiple media devices connected via a network is configured to process speech, such as voice commands, detected at the media devices, and respond to the detected speech by causing the media devices to simultaneously perform one or more requested actions. The platform is capable of scoring the quality of a speech request, handling speech requests from multiple end points of the platform using a centralized processing approach, a de-centralized processing approach, or a combination thereof, and also manipulating partial processing of speech requests from multiple end points into a coherent whole when necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jay Pierre Civelli, Mikhal Shemer, Turaj Zakizadeh Shabestary, David Tapuska
