Patent number: 11942083Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, at a processing system, a first signal including an output of a speaker device and an additional audio signal. The method also includes determining, by the processing system, based at least in part on a model trained to identify the output of the speaker device, that the additional audio signal corresponds to an utterance of a user. The method further includes initiating a reduction in an audio output level of the speaker device based on determining that the additional audio signal corresponds to the utterance of the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Diego Melendo Casado, Ignacio Lopez Moreno, Javier Gonzalez-Dominguez
