  • Patent number: 11935528
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for delivering audible alerts are described. In one aspect, an event for generating an audible alert for a user is detected. In response to detection of the event for generating the audible alert, it is determined whether an authorized audible interface device is within a threshold distance of the user based on a location of the user and a location of one or more authorized audible interface devices. In response to determining that an audible interface device is within the threshold distance of the user, alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated. The alert instructions cause the audible interface device to generate the audible alert in accordance with alert data provided in the alert instructions. The alert instructions are sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module.

  • Patent number: 11645039
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring a user session between at least two electronic devices are described. The user session is conducted as an audible session via an audible interface provided by a primarily audible first electronic device. Input data is received from the audible interface, wherein the input data causes the audible interface to progress through audible interface states. An interaction may be determined to be sensitive or non-intuitive based on a logic rule or based on tracking interactions in the user session. A current audible interface state is mapped to a visual interface state defined for a visual interface. The mapped visual interface state is pushed to a second electronic device having a visual output device for displaying the visual interface, to enable the user session to be continued as a visual session on the second electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11023200
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for delivering audible alerts are described. In one aspect, an event for generating an audible alert for a user is detected. In response to detection of the event for generating for the audible alert, an audible interface device for delivery of the audible alert based on a location of a personal electronic device of the user is selected. It is determined whether a personal electronic device of another user is within a threshold distance of the selected audible interface device. In response to determining that the personal electronic device of another user is within the threshold distance of the selected audible interface device, an audible identifier associated with the user is determined. Alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated and sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module.
