Publication number: 20240071382Abstract: Systems and methods for temporarily associating user accounts with voice-enabled devices are disclosed. A voice-enabled device, which may be associated with a default account, may be situated in an environment, such as a hotel room. A user may desire to utilize the voice-enabled device to perform one or more actions. In examples, some or all of the actions may require the use of a system resource not available to the default account. In these examples, the user may provide contact information to be used to send a message to personal device of the user to acquire user account information. Upon receipt of such information, the user account may be temporarily associated with the voice-enabled device, and may be dissociated from the voice-enabled device upon the lapse of a period of time and/or occurrence of a dissociation event.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Rebecca Joy Lopdrup Miller, Liron Torres, Kadirvel Chockalingam Vanniarajan, Gonzalo Alvarez Barrio, Dick Clarence Hardt

Publication number: 20230385319Abstract: Techniques for disambiguating which profile, of multiple profiles, is to be used to respond to a user input are described. A device located in a communal space (e.g., a hotel room or suite of rooms, conference room, hospital room, etc.) may be associated with a device profile and a user profile of a user presently occupying the communal space. When the user inputs a command to the device (either by text or speech), a system associated with the device determines the profiles (e.g., a device profile and a user profile) associated with the device. The system determines one or more policies associated with the device. The one or more policies may correspond to rules for disambiguating which profile to use to execute with respect to the user input. Using the one or more policies, the system determines which profile is to be used, and causes a speechlet component to execute using information specific to the determined profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Rebecca Joy Lopdrup Miller, Dick Clarence Hardt, Joseph Jessup, Yu Bao, Gonzalo Alvarez Barrio, Liron Torres
