Patent number: 11948575Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that uses circumstantial condition data, generated based on circumstantial conditions of an input, to determine whether the input should affect an action been initialized by a particular user. The automated assistant can allow each user to manipulate their respective ongoing action without necessitating interruptions for soliciting explicit user authentication. For example, when an individual in a group of persons interacts with the automated assistant to initialize or affect a particular ongoing action, the automated assistant can generate data that correlates that individual to the particular ongoing action. The data can be generated using a variety of different input modalities, which can be dynamically selected based on changing circumstances of the individual. Therefore, different sets of input modalities can be processed each time a user provides an input for modifying an ongoing action and/or initializing another action.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Andrew Gallagher, Caroline Pantofaru, Vinay Bettadapura, Utsav Prabhu

Publication number: 20230396841Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that provides and manages output from one or more elements of output hardware of a computing device. The automated assistant manages dynamic adjustment of access permissions to the computing device according to, for example, a detected presence of one or more users. An active-user queue can be established each time a unique user enters a viewing window of a camera of the computing device when, up to that point, no user was considered active. Multiple image frames can be captured via the camera and processed to determine whether an initial user remains in the viewing window and/or whether another user has entered the viewing window. The initial user can be considered active as long as they are exclusively detected in the viewing window. Restricted content associated with the user may be rendered by the computing device whilst the user is active.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Jaclyn Konzelmann, Tuan Nguyen, Vinay Bettadapura, Andrew Gallagher, Utsav Prabhu, Caroline Pantofaru

Publication number: 20230253009Abstract: Hot-word free adaptation of one or more function(s) of an automated assistant. Sensor data, from one or more sensor components of an assistant device that provides an automated assistant interface (graphical and/or audible), is processed to determine occurrence and/or confidence metric(s) of various attributes of a user that is proximal to the assistant device. Whether to adapt each of one or more of the function(s) of the automated assistant is based on the occurrence and/or the confidence of one or more of the various attributes. For example, certain processing of at least some of the sensor data can be initiated, such as initiating previously dormant local processing of at least some of the sensor data and/or initiating transmission of at least some of the audio data to remote automated assistant component(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Jaclyn Konzelmann, Kenneth Mixter, Sourish Chaudhuri, Tuan Nguyen, Hideaki Matsui, Caroline Pantofaru, Vinay Bettadapura

Patent number: 10721439Abstract: A method for personalizing a content item using captured footage is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first video feed from a first camera, wherein the first camera is designated as a source camera for capturing an event during a first time duration. The method also includes receiving data from a second camera, and determining, based on the received data from the second camera, that an action was performed using the second camera, the action being indicative of a region of interest (ROI) of the user of the second camera occurring within a second time duration. The method further includes designating the second camera as the source camera for capturing the event during the second time duration.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Caroline Rebecca Pantofaru, Vinay Bettadapura, Krishna Bharat, Irfan Essa

Patent number: 10110850Abstract: A method for localizing the attention of a user of a first-person point-of-view (FPPOV) device is disclosed. The method includes receiving data from an FPPOV device, the data being indicative of a first region-of-interest (ROI) of an event for a first time duration and a second ROI of the event for a second time duration. The method further include determining that a first camera from a plurality of cameras best captures the first ROI during the first time duration, and determining that a second camera from the plurality of cameras best captures the second ROI during the second time duration.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Caroline Rebecca Pantofaru, Vinay Bettadapura, Krishna Bharat, Irfan Essa

Patent number: 9600723Abstract: A method for localizing the attention of a user of a first-person point-of-view (FPPOV) device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of images of an event, each image having been captured by one of a plurality of reference cameras during a first time duration. The method further includes receiving a first user-captured image captured by the FPPOV device during the first time duration. A first image of the plurality of images is selected as a best-matched image, based on the first user-captured image, for capturing a region-of-interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Caroline Rebecca Pantofaru, Vinay Bettadapura, Krishna Bharat, Irfan Essa
