  • Patent number: 10374816
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a conference call with multiple voice-enabled and voice-capturing devices, such as smart speakers. Reproduced, duplicate voice commands can cause unexpected results in a conference call. The voice commands can be determined to be received from the same conference call. A voice command for a particular voice-enabled device can be selected based on an energy level of an audio signal, event data, time data, and/or user identification.

  • Patent number: 10320727
    Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for managing document feedback on a sharing service using a messaging client. Utilizing the technologies described herein, a file is associated with a message from an interface configured to compose the message. In addition, the interface is configured to receive a selection of one or more categories of feedback data. A category of feedback data is inserted into the message based on the selection. For example, comments associated with a section of the file may be displayed in the message. The feedback data, such as the comments, are retrieved from a locally stored file, a remotely stored file, a database and/or any other computing device storing the feedback data. Once the message is delivered to a recipient, a user interface may be configured to receive feedback data and communicate the received data to a remote data store.

  • Patent number: 10313284
    Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for uploading files to a sharing service using a messaging client. Utilizing the technologies described herein, a user may select one or more files to be shared by utilizing a messaging interface configured to compose an electronic message, such as an email. In response to receiving a selection of one or more files to be shared, the selected files are communicated to a sharing service where the selected files are stored on one or more servers. In addition, some configurations generate one or more links operative to provide access the one or more files stored on the servers of the sharing service. The links are then inserted into the electronic message. Using an implementation of the technologies disclosed herein, users may share files using a sharing service while composing a message without the need to interact with different controls or interfaces of multiple services.

  • Patent number: 10264547
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to determining a likelihood that a user is present in physical proximity to one or more computing devices based on factors such as detecting the user's voice, receiving beaconing signals from a user's mobile device, location information sent from other devices, input received via a camera, and/or other input at various devices that are geographically dispersed. Based on user presence information, a system may determine whether to broadcast a notification for the user to a given device for audible or visual presentation by the device.

  • Patent number: 10110522
    Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for setting sharing options for files using a messaging client. A message interface is displayed that allows a user to compose an electronic message. While the message is being composed, the user may specify sharing options for a file, or files, associated with the message. The sharing options may specify access settings used to identify the users that are allowed to access the file through a sharing service, feedback settings that are used to indicate when feedback is expected, and expiration settings that are used to indicate when sharing of the file expires. The sharing options are communicated from the messaging client to the sharing service. The sharing service may utilize the sharing options to control the manner in which the file, or files, is shared.

  • Publication number: 20180262497
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for batch registration and configuration of devices are disclosed. A plurality of devices are detected over one or more networks. Data indicative of the plurality of devices is provided through a user interface. Through the user interface, user input is received that indicates a selected plurality of the devices. The selected plurality of the devices are registered with a service provider environment. The selected plurality of the devices are authenticated using device-specific credentials and registered for device-specific accounts with the service provider environment. A configuration profile is deployed to the selected plurality of the devices.

  • Patent number: 10051600
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to determining a likelihood that a user is present in physical proximity to one or more computing devices based on factors such as detecting the user's voice, receiving beaconing signals from a user's mobile device, location information sent from other devices, input received via a camera, and/or other input at various devices that are geographically dispersed. Based on user presence information, which may include interaction timestamps, a system may determine confidence levels regarding which of a number of computing devices are in physical proximity of the user at a current time. The confidence scores may be used to determine whether to broadcast a meeting notification or other notification for the user to a given device for audible or visual presentation by the device.
