Publication number: 20230206884Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for data synchronization. The present implementations more specifically relate to adjusting a rate at which display updates are output to a digital display based on an activity level associated with the digital display. For example, digital displays that render images with relatively little motion or user engagement may be associated with lower activity levels, whereas digital displays that render images with more significant motion or user engagement may be associated with higher activity levels. In some aspects, an adaptive display interface may dynamically increase the rate at which display frames are output to a display when the activity level increases and may dynamically decrease the rate at which display frames are output to the display when the activity level decreases.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Tony David LAMBORD

Publication number: 20220286763Abstract: Voice-controlled devices that include one or more speakers for outputting audio. In some instances, the device includes at least one speaker within a cylindrical housing, with the speaker aimed or pointed away from a microphone coupled to the housing. For instance, if the microphone resides at or near the top of the cylindrical housing, then the speaker may point downwards along the longitudinal axis of the housing and away from the microphone. By pointing the speaker away from the microphone, the microphone will receive less sound from the speaker than if the speaker were pointed toward the microphone). Because the voice-controlled device may perform speech recognition on audio signals generated by the microphone, less sound from the speaker represented in the audio signal may result in more accurate speech recognition, and/or a lesser need to perform acoustic echo cancelation (AEC) on the generated audio signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: David Wilson Poole, Timothy Theodore List, Jacobi Colton Grillo, Wei Li, Tony David

Patent number: 11287565Abstract: Devices that include light assemblies for providing visual feedback to users that operate the electronic devices. In some instances, the devices comprise voice-controlled devices and, therefore, include one or more microphones for receiving audible commands from the users. After receiving a command, for instance, one such voice-controlled device may cause a corresponding light assembly of the device to illuminate in some predefined manner. This illumination may indicate to the user that device has received the command. In other instances, the devices may illuminate the lighting assembly for an array of other purposes. For instance, one such device may illuminate the corresponding light assembly when powering on or off, playing music, outputting information to a user (e.g., via a speaker or display), or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jacobi Colton Grillo, Faiza Hassan, Isabella Talley Lewis, Tony David

Patent number: 11138985Abstract: A voice interaction architecture has a hands-free, electronic voice controlled assistant that permits users to verbally request information from cloud services. The voice controlled assistant may be positioned in a room to receive voice commands from the user. The voice controlled assistant may also pick up background sources of speech, music, or other noise, such as from a television or stereo system, which may adversely impact the user's intended vocal input to the assistant. The assistant transmits the aggregated audio data (user command and background noise) over a network to the cloud services, which implements noise cancellation functionality to remove the background noise while isolating and preserving the user's command. Once isolated, the cloud serves can process and interpret the user input to perform some function, and return the response over the network to the voice controlled assistant for audible output to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Tony David

Patent number: 10930277Abstract: A voice interaction architecture has a hands-free, electronic voice controlled assistant that permits users to verbally request information from cloud services. Since the assistant relies primarily, if not exclusively, on voice interactions, configuring the assistant for the first time may pose a challenge, particularly to a novice user who is unfamiliar with network settings (such as wife access keys). The architecture supports several approaches to configuring the voice controlled assistant that may be accomplished without much or any user input, thereby promoting a positive out-of-box experience for the user. More particularly, these approaches involve use of audible or optical signals to configure the voice controlled assistant.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tony David, Parag Garg
