Patent number: 11908467Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic voice search transitioning. Example methods may include receiving, by a computer system in communication with a display, a first incoming voice data indication, initiating a first user interface theme for presentation at a display, wherein the first user interface theme is a default user interface theme, and receiving first voice data. Example methods may include sending the first voice data to a remote server for processing, receiving an indication from the remote server to initiate a second user interface theme, and initiating the second user interface theme for presentation at the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Prasad, Anna Santos, David Sanchez, Jared Strawderman, Sarah Castle, Kerry Hammil, Christopher Schindler, Timothy Twerdahl, Joseph Tavares, Bartosz Gulik
