  • Patent number: 11967311
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to on demand generation of curated audio content. Responsive to initiation of an electronic communication by a client, audio relating to a client speaking to the operator can be processed to derive a series of insights relating to features of the audio. Previously recorded audio relating to the operator can be combined with a text-based script to generate audio content. The audio content can be modified using the series of derived insights. The modified audio content can include a series of disclaimers that are played back to the client. Generation of the modified audio content can be dynamically generated responsive to detecting a trigger that allows for on-demand generation of the modified audio content.

  • Patent number: 11915255
    Abstract: Systems and methods receive contextual data related to spending as well as spending data. Correlations are determined to explain variables that influence spending amounts or rates. Systems and methods can collect user spending context data associated with a user, generate spending correlations between variables of the user spending context data, determine a next event based on at least one of the location data and the relationship data, and generate a next event value for the next event having at least a subset of the variables.

  • Patent number: 11710280
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an environmental scanning tool that generates a digital model representing the surroundings of a user of an extended reality head-mounted display device. The environment is imaged in both a depth map and in visible light for some select objects of interest. The selected objects exist within the digital model at higher fidelity and resolution than the remaining portions of the model in order to manage the storage size of the digital model. In some cases, the objects of interest are selected, or their higher fidelity scans are directed, by a remote user. The digital model further includes time stamped updates of the environment such that users can view a state of the environment according to various timestamps.

  • Patent number: 11605384
    Abstract: Systems and methods of presenting interrupting content during human speech are disclosed. The proposed systems offer improved duplex communications in conversational AI platforms. In some embodiments, the system receives speech data and evaluates the data using linguistic models. If the linguistic models detect indications of linguistic irregularities such as mispronunciation, a smart feedback assistant can determine that the system should interrupt the speaker in near-real-time and provide feedback regarding their pronunciation. In addition, conversational irregularities may also be detected, causing the smart feedback assistant to interrupt with presentation of moderating guidance. In some cases, emotion models may also be utilized to detect emotional states based on the speaker's voice in order to offer near-immediate feedback. Users can also customize the manner and occasions in which they are interrupted.

  • Patent number: 11487498
    Abstract: In various examples, when a local user initiates an instance of a video conference application, the user may be provided with a user interface (UI) that displays an icon corresponding to the user as well as several other icons corresponding to participants in the instance of the video conference application. As the users converse, the local user may find that a particular participant is speaking loudly compared to the other remote users. The local user may then select an icon corresponding to the particular participant and move the icon away from the local user's icon in the UI. Based on moving the remote user's icon away from the local user's icon, the system may reduce the output volume of the audio data for the participant. Further, if the local user moves the participant icon closer to the local user's icon, the volume for the participant may be increased.
