Abstract: Techniques for sound preference determination include performing a first round of option selection by: determining a first set of options for setting one or more audio parameters; for each first pair of options in the first set of options: outputting a demonstration audio content with the one or more audio parameters set according to a first option of the first pair of options; outputting the demonstration audio content with the one or more audio parameters set according to a second option of the first pair of options; receiving a selection of the first option or the second option; incrementing a count associated with the selected one of the first option or the second option; determining which option in the first set of options has a highest count; and playing audio content based on values for the one or more audio parameters associated with the option having the highest count.

Abstract: An embodiment sets forth a technique for configuring one or more audio parameters. The technique includes presenting a first plurality of setting options associated with an audio parameter, wherein the first plurality of setting options comprises a first option having a same value as a first setting of the audio parameter and a second option having a first value different than the first setting; receiving a selection of one of the first option and the second option; based on the selection, presenting a second plurality of setting options associated with the audio parameter, wherein the second plurality of setting options comprises a third option having a same value as a second setting of the audio parameter and a fourth option having a second value different than the second setting; and setting the audio parameter based on a selection of at least one of the second plurality of setting options.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth techniques for directional guidance for a space. A computer-implemented method for guiding a user through a space includes determining a current location of the user and a destination location, where the current location and the destination location are locations within the space; determining a path from the current location to the destination location; determining at least one guidance cue associated with the path; and causing at least one guidance output device along the path to output the at least one guidance cue, wherein the at least one guidance output device is installed in the space.

Abstract: A method for confirming a trigger in an audio input detected by a voice-activated intelligent device that listens for and detects a trigger in the audio input, confirms whether the trigger in the audio input is intended to wake the device, and if confirmed, the device is instructed to activate. If the trigger cannot be confirmed, the device is instructed to ignore the trigger. The step of confirming whether the trigger is intended to activate the device may include determining whether the audio input is human generated speech, which may also include detecting a fingerprint in the audio input.

Abstract: One or more embodiments set forth techniques for identifying and locating wireless light emitting elements within a lighting system. An identification and location module executing on calibration system transmits a message to instruct a first light emitting element included in a plurality of light emitting elements within the lighting system to emit light having a first characteristic. The identification and location module detects, via a photosensitive device, a first location of the first light emitting element within the lighting system based on the first characteristic. The identification and location module stores a data entry in a memory that associates the first location with the first light emitting element. At least one advantage of the approach described herein is that wireless light emitting elements are automatically identified and located during post assembly testing, thereby reducing labor costs associated with manually presorting or recording IDs of the light emitting elements.
