Abstract: A method and system for controlling framework units for accessing content on an electronic device is described. The method comprises: capturing an interaction indicative of an interaction of a user with respect to each content type of the content; extracting a set of attribute values based on the content and the interaction, wherein the set of attribute values is indicative of user behaviour patterns with respect to each content type; classifying the content based on the extracted set of attributes values, wherein the classification determines the sensitivity of the content as either of interest or of non-interest; and controlling access to the content for one or more applications associated with the electronic device based on the classified content being one of interest or non-interest to the user.

Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device for voice-based navigation, includes: determining a field of view (FoV) of the user using one or more sensors associated with the electronic device; determining one or more points of interest (PoIs) with respect to the determined FoV of the user, and generating a response for the voice-based navigation based on at least one of the one or more PoIs and the determined FoV of the user.

Abstract: A system and method of receiving a voice command while a user is moving in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment comprising a plurality of virtual assistants (VAs) is provided. The method includes receiving a first audio uttered by a user at a first VA. The user's intention to speak more (ISM) is determined based on the user's breathing pattern. Furthermore, the method includes selecting a second VA to initiate listening to a second audio uttered by the user, based on detecting a movement of the user with respect to the plurality of VAs in the IoT environment. The method includes merging the first audio and the second audio to determine a voice command corresponding to the user's complete utterance, for execution within the IoT environment.

Abstract: A method of adjusting a predefined listening time of a voice assistant device includes receiving an audio input; extracting at least one of a speech component and a non-speech artifact from the audio input; determining a user breathing pattern based on the at least one of the speech component and the non-speech artifact; identifying at least one attribute that impact the user breathing pattern based on at least one non-speech component, captured from an environment and the voice assistant device; determining, after detecting a pause in the audio input, whether a user's intention is to continue a conversation based on an analysis of the user breathing pattern and the at least one attribute; and dynamically adjusting the predefined listening time of the voice assistant device to continue listening for voice commands in the conversation based on a determination that the user's intention is to continue the conversation.
