  • Patent number: 11228824
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for voice activated devices with integrated heatsinks and speakers. In one embodiment, an example device may include a light ring, a first light emitting diode, a heatsink having a first side and a second side, and a speaker assembly coupled to the first side of the heatsink assembly. The heatsink and the speaker assembly together may form a first sealed cavity. The device may include a reflector component coupled to the second side and configured to direct light towards the light ring. The reflector component may optionally include a substantially linear member and a bent member.

  • Patent number: 10462545
    Abstract: Voice activated electronic devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the voice activated electronic device may include a housing forming a cavity. An array of microphones, one or more speakers, and one or more cameras may be located within the cavity. Furthermore, the voice activated electronic device may include a display screen and a touch screen, which may both be coupled to the housing such that the housing is substantially enclosed. In some embodiments, the array of microphones is positioned about the housing such that audio input may be detectable from audio output by the speaker(s) while the speaker(s) are outputting audio. For instance, one or more vibration mitigators may be included to dampen vibrations that may affect a performance and functionality of the one or more components located within the cavity.
