  • Publication number: 20220270606
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for voice-based parameter assignment for voice-capturing devices are disclosed. Voice input from a voice-capturing device is received over one or more networks at a service provider environment comprising one or more services. The services implement voice input analysis and device management. Using the voice input analysis, analysis of the voice input is performed to determine that the voice input represents a value for a configuration parameter. The value is descriptive of the device. An association between the voice-capturing device and the value for the configuration parameter is stored using the device management. The value affects one or more actions taken by the service provider environment responsive to further voice input from the voice-capturing device.

  • Patent number: 10474980
    Abstract: A system for providing access to delivery locations with added security. The system can include a database of images (or other data) of keys associated with a plurality of delivery addresses, or secure delivery locations. When a special handling item—i.e., one that cannot safely be left outside the delivery location—is ordered, the system creates a key to provide access to the secure delivery location. The key can be a one-time use, disposable, shreddable, or otherwise temporary key. The system can also utilize one or more video cameras to record some or all of the delivery process to ensure the delivery driver delivers the item(s), destroys or leaves the key, and leaves the secure delivery location locked, among other things. The manufacturing of a key and/or the choice to use secure delivery can be based on the delivery location, product, delivery value, perishability, or other factors.
