  • Patent number: 12164680
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that provide an emotional compass that reflects the emotional states of human beings, dynamics of the emotional states over time periods, emotional synchronization between humans and between humans and automated interactive systems, and the degree to which the emotional state of one human is influenced or affected by the emotional state of another human or by an automated interactive system. The emotional compass can be used for continuous or intermittent emotional orientation by both automated systems and human analysts. The emotional awareness provided by the emotional compass facilitates continuous or intermittent strategy selection for achieving various different types of emotion-related results.

  • Patent number: 12002384
    Abstract: Vehicles, components, and methods present information based on context, for example presenting a first list or menu of items (e.g., food) or first set of signage or color scheme when in a first location or during a first period, and presenting a second list or menu of items (e.g., food) or second set of signage or color scheme when in a second location or during a second period. For instance, a first menu of items (e.g., relatively more expensive entrees, beverages) may be displayed via one or more displays or screens at a first location during a first period, and a second menu of items (e.g., relatively less expensive entrees, beverages) may be displayed at a second location during a second period. Context (e.g., present location, destination, date, day, period of time, event, size of crowd, movement of crowd, weather) may be manually provided, or autonomously discerned, and presentation automatically.

  • Patent number: 11995123
    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching, identifying, scoring, and providing access to companion media assets for a primary media asset are disclosed. In response to a request for companion content, metadata within a predefined time period of a play position when the request was made, is downloaded. A dynamic search template that contains search parameters based on the downloaded metadata is generated. In response to the search conducted using the search template, a plurality of companion media assets are identified and then verified. A trust score for the companion media asset is accessed. The trust score may be analyzed and modified based on its contextual relationship to the play position of the primary media asset. If the trust score is within a rating range, then a link to access the companion media asset, or a specific segment or play position within the companion media asset, is provided.

  • Patent number: 11984128
    Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic generation of speaker features for each of one or more particular text-dependent speaker verifications (TD-SVs) for a user. Implementations can generate speaker features for a particular TD-SV using instances of audio data that each capture a corresponding spoken utterance of the user during normal non-enrollment interactions with an automated assistant via one or more respective assistant devices. For example, a portion of an instance of audio data can be used in response to: (a) determining that recognized term(s) for the spoken utterance captured by that the portion correspond to the particular TD-SV; and (b) determining that an authentication measure, for the user and for the spoken utterance, satisfies a threshold. Implementations additionally or alternatively relate to utilization of speaker features, for each of one or more particular TD-SVs for a user, in determining whether to authenticate a spoken utterance for the user.
