Publication number: 20240144269Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains transaction data regarding a user account of an application performing a transaction within the application to access a particular document. The transaction data is captured by instrumentation code inserted into the application at runtime. The device identifies, based on the transaction data, a data mining policy for the transaction. The device generates, based on the data mining policy, identification information associated with the user account and the particular document. The device inserts, via the instrumentation code, tracing data into the particular document that causes a client that opens the particular document to send a web request for a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the identification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Thomas Szigeti, David John ZACKS, Walter Theodore HULICK, Nagendra Kumar NAINAR, Carlos M.

Patent number: 11974082Abstract: Voice-controlled devices that include one or more speakers for outputting audio. In some instances, the device includes at least one speaker within a cylindrical housing, with the speaker aimed or pointed away from a microphone coupled to the housing. For instance, if the microphone resides at or near the top of the cylindrical housing, then the speaker may point downwards along the longitudinal axis of the housing and away from the microphone. By pointing the speaker away from the microphone, the microphone will receive less sound from the speaker than if the speaker were pointed toward the microphone). Because the voice-controlled device may perform speech recognition on audio signals generated by the microphone, less sound from the speaker represented in the audio signal may result in more accurate speech recognition, and/or a lesser need to perform acoustic echo cancelation (AEC) on the generated audio signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Wilson Poole, Timothy Theodore List, Jacobi Colton Grillo, Wei Li, Tony David
