Abstract: Adaptive cross-layer power, thermal, and performance management within augmented and/or virtual reality (AR/VR) display devices is described. AR/VR experiences use extensive system resources to provide high quality user experience (UX). Application performance modes (e.g., Application Resource Bundles “ARBs”) may be registered and for each mode, applications may request specific performance from the underlying hardware/firmware/software subsystems. As system state changes, a central service may periodically reconfigure power states of individual subsystems resulting in power, thermal, and performance tradeoffs. As the power states are reconfigured, the central service may change the application performance modes to allow applications to adapt their UX to the new system state allowing applications to build custom behaviors and provide enhanced UX over a variety of states.

Abstract: Techniques are described for maintaining contextual data to support content-related actions. In an example, a system stories second content at a source. The source is associated with first content. The system sends, to a device, an object that indicates the first content. From the device at a first time, the system receives first data indicating a first request for the second content and including source information that indicates the source. From the device at a second time, the system receives second data indicating a second request for the second content, the second data including the source information, the first data and the second data received at a frequency indicated by the object. The system determines that the requests are associated with the first content based on the source information included in the received data, and stores third data indicating a presentation of the first content by the device.

Abstract: Techniques for outputting interactive content and processing interactions with respect to the interactive content are described. While outputting requested content, a system may determine that interactive content is to be outputted. The system may determine output data including a first portion indicating that interactive content is going to be output and a second portion representing content corresponding to an item. The system may send the output data to the device. A user may interact with the output data, for example, by requesting performance of an action with respect to the item.

Abstract: Methods and devices for enabling and disabling applications using voice are described herein. In some embodiments, an individual speak an utterance to their electronic device, which may send audio data representing the utterance to a backend system. The backend system may generate text data representing the utterance, and may determine that an intent of the utterance was for an application to be enabled or disabled for their user account on the backend system. If, for instance, the intent was to enable the application, the backend system may receive one or more rules for performing functionalities of the application, as well as one or more sample templates of sample utterances and sample responses that future utterances may use when requesting the application. Furthermore, one or more invocation phrases that may be used within the future utterances to invoke the application may be received, along with slot values for the sample templates.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending speechlets to users via voice user interfaces (VUIs) are described. A system may include predetermined rankings of speechlets. The predetermined rankings may be determined offline and may represent reliabilities of the speechlets. During runtime, when the system receives a user input that can be handled by multiple speechlets, the system may determine a type of speechlet configured to handle the user input. The system may also identify information specific to the user's previous interactions with the system. The system may rerank the predetermined rankings using the user specific information, as well as other information. The system may recommend speechlets to the user based on the speechlets' rerankings. The system may first recommend the top reranked speechlet. If the user accepts the recommendation, the system may cause the top reranked speechlet to handle the original user input.

Furthermore, one or more invocation phrases that may be used within the future utterances to invoke the application may be received, along with slot values for the sample templates.
