Abstract: Method for voice-based interactive communication using a digital assistant, wherein the method comprises, an attention detection step, in which the digital assistant detects a user attention and as a result is set into a listening mode; a speaker detection step, in which the digital assistant detects the user as a current speaker; a speech sound detection step, in which the digital assistant detects and records speech uttered by the current speaker, which speech sound detection step further comprises a lip movement detection step, in which the digital assistant detects a lip movement of the current speaker; a speech analysis step, in which the digital assistant parses said recorded speech and extracts speech-based verbal informational content from said recorded speech; and a subsequent response step, in which the digital assistant provides feed-back to the user based on said recorded speech.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a user interface of a digital audio workstation, which includes a composition region for generating a composition. The composition region includes a representation of a first MIDI file that has already been added to the composition by a user. The method further includes receiving a user input to import, into the composition region, an audio file. In response to the user input to import the audio file, the method includes importing the audio file, which includes, without user intervention, aligning the audio file with a rhythm of the first MIDI file, modifying a rhythm of the audio file based on the rhythm of the first MIDI file, and displaying a representation of the audio file in the composition region.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for processing a voice recognition service in an electronic device. According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a microphone, a memory, and a processor operatively coupled to the microphone and the memory. The processor may be configured to wake-up on the basis of detection of a wake-up word, process a first task corresponding to a first voice command of a user on the basis of the wake-up, set a wait time during which a follow-up command can be received on the basis of the processing of the first task, detect a second voice command of the user during the wait time, analyze a conversational context on the basis of the first voice command and second voice command, and process a second task on the basis of a result of the analysis. Various embodiments are possible.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for interaction with devices containing dual displays, and in particular, to systems and methods for enabling or altering the functionality of a secondary display based on a user's attention.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method, a variety of embodiments of the apparatus comprising a microphone, memory, and a processor functionally connected to the microphone or memory, wherein the processor is configured to: count end-point detection (EPD) time on the basis of a voice input; when the EPD time expires, determine whether the final word of the voice input corresponds to a previously configured word stored in memory; and, if the final word corresponds to the previously configured word, then extend the EPD time and wait for reception of a voice input. Additionally, other embodiments are possible.

Abstract: A system, a head-mounted device, a computer program, a carrier and a method for positioning of a virtual object in an extended reality view of at least one user are disclosed. In the method gaze points in world space and respective gaze durations for the gaze points are determined for the at least one user by means of gaze-tracking over a duration of time. Furthermore, gaze heatmap data are determined based on the determined gaze points and respective gaze durations, and the virtual object is positioned in the extended reality view in world space based on the determined gaze heatmap data.

Abstract: A system, a head-mounted device, a computer program, a carrier and a method for adding a virtual object to an extended reality view based on gaze-tracking data for a user are disclosed. In the method the method, one or more volumes of interest in world space are defined. Furthermore, a position of the user in world space is obtained, and a gaze direction and a gaze convergence distance of the user are determined. A gaze point in world space of the user is then determined based on the determined gaze direction and gaze convergence distance of the user. On condition that the determined gaze point in world space is consistent with a volume of interest of the defined one or more one volumes of interest in world space, a virtual object is added to the extended reality view.
