  • Patent number: 10536287
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a conference call with multiple voice-enabled and voice-capturing devices, such as smart speakers. Reproduced, duplicate voice commands can cause unexpected results in a conference call. The voice commands can be determined to be received from the same conference call. A voice command for a particular voice-enabled device can be selected based on an energy level of an audio signal, event data, time data, and/or user identification.

  • Patent number: 10491598
    Abstract: A technology is provided for using a multi-factor authentication process to access services in a computing service environment. One or more policies can be defined for allowing access to one or more services and/or resources associated with a service provider environment according to an authenticated identity. A device, detected by a voice-capturing endpoint within a defined geographical location, may be authenticated according to a unique identification (ID). Voice data received from the voice-capturing endpoint can be authenticated. The authenticated identity can be established according to the authenticated device and the authenticated voice data. A command, received via a voice command from the voice-capturing endpoint, may be issued with the authenticated identity to access the one or more services and/or resources associated with the service provider environment according to the plurality of policies.

  • Patent number: 10264547
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to determining a likelihood that a user is present in physical proximity to one or more computing devices based on factors such as detecting the user's voice, receiving beaconing signals from a user's mobile device, location information sent from other devices, input received via a camera, and/or other input at various devices that are geographically dispersed. Based on user presence information, a system may determine whether to broadcast a notification for the user to a given device for audible or visual presentation by the device.

  • Publication number: 20190073998
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for voice-activated selective memory for voice-capturing devices are disclosed. A first voice input from a voice-capturing device is received, via a network, at a service provider environment comprising one or more services. The first voice input comprises one or more utterances from a user of the voice-capturing device. A representation of the first voice input is stored. A second voice input from the voice-capturing device is received, via the network, at the service provider environment. The second voice input represents a command to disregard the first voice input. Based on the second voice input, the representation of the first voice input is deleted.

  • Patent number: 10051600
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to determining a likelihood that a user is present in physical proximity to one or more computing devices based on factors such as detecting the user's voice, receiving beaconing signals from a user's mobile device, location information sent from other devices, input received via a camera, and/or other input at various devices that are geographically dispersed. Based on user presence information, which may include interaction timestamps, a system may determine confidence levels regarding which of a number of computing devices are in physical proximity of the user at a current time. The confidence scores may be used to determine whether to broadcast a meeting notification or other notification for the user to a given device for audible or visual presentation by the device.
