Patent number: 12169624Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-based device operation mode management. Example methods may include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, and determining that being coupled to the accessory device triggers activation of a first operation mode at the device. The first operation mode presents digital content at the display in a user interface having a first content density that is less than a second content density of a second operation mode. Example methods may include causing the device to activate the first operation mode, receiving first voice data indicative of a request to change the device operation mode to the second operation mode, and causing the device to activate the second operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 11302291Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for device agnostic user interface generation. Example methods include receiving a request for content from a device, determining first data representing a first device characteristic of the device, and determining an intended viewing distance value associated with the first data. Some methods include determining, using the intended viewing distance value, a first value for the device, the first value representing a baseline density-independent number of pixels, determining first content using the first value, and sending the first content to the device, where the first content is to be rendered at the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bradley McNally, Kynan Dylan Antos, Jennifer Lynne Cotton, Jonathan Mongan, Sahil Ahmed Yousif Anand, Timothy Thomas Gray, Ryan Long

Publication number: 20220101861Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications. Example methods may include receiving first audio data representing an utterance, determining that the device is in a first operating mode when the audio data was received, determining that the device is in a locked state when the audio data is received, and receiving, from a remote system, a command to display information based at least on part on the audio data. Certain methods may include receiving an indication that the utterance was spoken by a user authorized to access the information while in the first operating mode and the locked state, and causing presentation of the information by the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 11048532Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for dynamic user interface type selection. Example methods include receiving a request for content from a first device, determining first data representing a first device input type at the first device, determining an intended viewing distance value associated with the first device input type, and determining, using the intended viewing distance value, a first value for the first device, the first value representing a baseline density-independent number of pixels. Methods may include determining first content using the first value, and sending the first content to the first device, wherein the first content is to be rendered at the first device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bradley McNally, Kynan Dylan Antos, Jennifer Lynne Cotton, Jonathan Mongan, Sahil Ahmed Yousif Anand, Timothy Thomas Gray, Ryan Long

Patent number: 10885910Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-forward graphical user interface mode management. Example methods include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, determining that being coupled to the accessory device causes the device to deactivate a first operating mode and activate a second operating mode, where the second operating mode has a lower content density than the first operating mode, and determining that an application setting of an application executing on the device is causing the device to remain in the first operating mode. Example methods may include determining that a new value is associated with the application setting, and causing the device to activate the second operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kynan Dylan Antos, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Mark Yoshitake, Ankur Narendra Bhai Vachhani, Blade Imsande McRae, Robert Williams, James Martin Conway, Nedim Fresko, Michael Wendling, Mustafa Husain

Patent number: 10504513Abstract: A dock device connects participating devices such as a tablet device and an audio activated device, allowing them to operate as a single device. These participating devices may be associated with different accounts, each account being associated with particular “speechlets” or data processing functions. A natural language understanding (NLU) system uses NLU models to process text obtained from an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to determine a set of possible intents. A second set of possible intents may then be generated that is limited to those possible intents that correspond to the speechlets associated with the docked device. The intents within the second set of possible intents are ranked, and the highest ranked intent may be deemed to be the intent of the user. Command data corresponding to the highest ranked intent may be generated and used to perform the action associated with that intent.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Timothy Thomas Gray, Michal Grzegorz Kurpanik, Jenny Toi Wah Lam, Sarveshwar Nigam, Shirin Saleem, Jonhenry A.
