  • Patent number: 12175968
    Abstract: Techniques for selecting a skill to execute in response to a natural language input are described. A system may receive a natural language input, determine profile data associated with the natural language input, and determine the profile data indicates a locale and at least first language and second languages. The system determines first and second sets of skills corresponding to the locale/first language and locale/second language, respectively. The system determines a first group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the first set of skills, and determines a second group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the second set of skills. The system performs ranking processing across the first and second groups of skills to determine a best skill for responding to the natural language input. Thus, in some situations, the skill invoked may not correspond to the same language represented in the natural language input.

  • Patent number: 11002455
    Abstract: A system cools a space toward target conditions using an air conditioning process based on a bank of different cooling device types. Some device types consume relatively less energy and are suitable for mild environmental conditions, others consume more energy and are needed for extreme conditions, while others may fill a middle ground. To help save energy, the system alters the air conditioning process by selecting one or a mix of cooling device types expected to be sufficient for current conditions. Current conditions corresponds to a supply air position on a psychrometric chart. Selection of the appropriate cooling device type(s) is made according to the location of the supply air position relative to a dew point, which is determined from the target conditions set by a user.
