  • Publication number: 20250117063
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to improve user experience on computing devices are disclosed. An example computing device includes a microphone to capture audio corresponding to spoken words. The example computing device further includes a speech analyzer to: detect a keyword prompt from among the spoken words, the keyword prompt to precede a query statement of a user of the computing device; and identify topics associated with a subset of the spoken words, the subset of the spoken words captured by the microphone before the keyword prompt. The example computing device also includes a communications interface to, in response to detection of the keyword prompt, transmit information indicative of the query statement and ones of the identified topics to a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20250036186
    Abstract: A method and system for power management and scheduling based on human interface device (HID) input types. A user input is received via an HID, and an HID input type of the user input is determined. The HID input type is then provided to a power management controller and/or an operating system scheduler, and power management and/or scheduling are performed based on the HID input type. An operating frequency of a processor or a processor core of the system may be adjusted based on the HID input type. One of the processor cores in a hybrid system such as a P-core or an E-core may be selected for a task based on the HID input type.
