  • Patent number: 11620999
    Abstract: An example process includes: receiving an audio stream; determining a plurality of acoustic representations of the audio stream, where each acoustic representation of the plurality of acoustic representations corresponds to a respective frame of the audio stream; obtaining a respective plurality of scores indicating whether each respective frame of the audio stream is directed to an electronic device, where the obtaining includes: determining, using a triggering model operating on the electronic device, for each acoustic representation, a score indicating whether the respective frame of the audio stream is directed to the electronic device; determining, based on the respective plurality of scores, a likelihood that the audio stream is directed to the electronic device; determining whether the likelihood is above or below a threshold; and in response to determining that the likelihood is below the threshold, ceasing to process the audio stream.
