  • Publication number: 20230282206
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant are described. The NLP system may receive a natural language input corresponding to more than one user command. The NLP system may respond to a first command, of the natural language input, using a TTS voice of a first NLP system assistant.

  • Patent number: 11393477
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant are described. The NLP system may receive a natural language input from a device. The NLP system may also receive one or more signals representing one or more assistants to be implemented with respect to the natural language input. The NLP system may intelligently select an assistant to be invoked with respect to the natural language input. Once the assistant is selected, the NLP system may cause content, output to a user, to have characteristics specific to the assistant.

  • Publication number: 20210090575
    Abstract: Techniques for a natural language processing (NLP) system to implement more than one assistant during a dialog between one or more users and the NLP system are described. The NLP system may receive a first natural language input and associate same with a dialog identifier. The NLP system may output audio, responsive to the first natural language input, in a first NLP system assistant's voice. Thereafter, the NLP system may receive a second natural language input and associate same with the dialog identifier. The NLP system may output audio, responsive to the second natural language input, in a second NLP system assistant's voice.

  • Patent number: 10713792
    Abstract: A system for processing a seller provided input image depicting an object. The system may process the input images to be in compliance with an online shopping website's image requirements. The image processing service may execute multiple modules on the input image. An edge detection module may detect one or more edges of the image of the object and determine border data indicative of a border around the object. An object of interest module may extract the image of the object within the border to generate an object of interest image. A background extraction module may create one or more closed shapes to separate the image of the object from background pixels. A hole detection module may traverse the one or more closed shapes to determine a presence of background pixels, remove the background pixels, and generate a resulting image.

  • Patent number: 7958142
    Abstract: User profile data that may be spread across different service providers and that may vary across different service providers can be aggregated to provide an aggregate user profile. An aggregate user profile can be generated regardless of, among other things, varying user profile semantics, differing data formats, data item conflicts, evolving server protocols and interfaces, and updates to the number, identity, location, and type of servers upon which the service providers are maintained.

  • Patent number: 7117528
    Abstract: Methods and systems for resolving naming contests when a user seeks to register an account associated with a login identifier that is already in use by another user. An authentication server notifies the user of a contested registration when the requested login identifier, such as an e-mail address, matches one of the identifiers stored in an authentication database. The server then solicits confirmation from the user that the login identifier belongs to the requesting user rather than the earlier user. By forcing the earlier user to select a different login identifier, the server renders the existing user account inactive but retains a unique account identifier and associated account information for the inactive user account.
