Robert James Stets has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11949733
    Abstract: Routing packetized actions in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A system can receive audio signals detected by a microphone of a device. The system can parse the audio signal to identify trigger keyword and request, and generate an action data structure. The system can transmit the action data structure to a third party provider device. The system can receive an indication from the third party provider device that a communication session was established with the device.

  • Publication number: 20220335214
    Abstract: Identifier dependent operation processing of packet based data communication is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. A content selector component can select, based on the request or trigger keyword, a content item. A link generation component can determine whether the client computing device has an account or a record in a database associated with the service provider device. In the absence of the record or account, the link generation device generates and sends a virtual identifier to the service provider device with instructions to generate an account in the database using the virtual identifier. Once the account is created, the service provider device can communicate with the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 11475886
    Abstract: A feedback control system for data transmissions in voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A system can receive audio signals detected by a microphone of a device. The system can parse the audio signal to identify trigger keyword and request. The system can select a content item using the trigger keyword or request. The content item can be configured to establish a communication session between the device and a third party device. The system can monitor the communication session to measure a characteristic of the communication session. The system can generate a quality signal based on the measured characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20210099511
    Abstract: Systems and methods to combine multiple voice activated audio input data packets that indicate sequence dependent operations are provided. A natural language processor component can receive first and second input audio signal from a client computing device, and can identify respective requests and corresponding trigger keywords. A direct action application programming interface (“API”) can generate respective action data structures, and can construct respective data transmissions including the respective action data structures. A thread optimization component can obtain data packets of the first data transmission, and can obtain data packets of the second data transmission. The thread optimization component can determine, based on a heuristic technique applied to the data packets of the respective data transmissions a sequence dependency parameter.
