Abstract: Example techniques relate to local voice control in a media playback system. A satellite device (e.g., a playback device or microcontroller unit) may be configured to recognize a local set of keywords in voice inputs including context specific keywords (e.g., for controlling an associated smart device) as well as keywords corresponding to a subset of media playback commands for controlling playback devices in the media playback system. The satellite device may fall back to a hub device (e.g., a playback device) configured to recognize a more extensive set of keywords. In some examples, either device may fall back to the cloud for processing of other voice inputs.

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.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for converting, to a digital video signal, an analog video signal capable of having a variety of resolutions. A video reception apparatus determines a format of an analog video signal by sampling the analog video signal. The video reception apparatus converts the analog video signal to a digital video signal based on the determined format. A comb filter is used to separate a color difference signal and a luminance signal from the digital video signal, and the digital video signal is reconfigured using the luminance signal and the color difference signal.
