  • Patent number: 11770587
    Abstract: Video information may define video content. The video content may be characterized by capture information. A remote device may transmit at least a portion of the capture information to a computing device. The computing device may identify one or more portions of the video content based on the transmitted capture information. The remote device may receive the identification of the identified portion(s) of the video content from the computing device. The remote device may stream one or more portions of the video information defining at least some of the identified portion(s) of the video content to the computing device. The streamed video information may enable the computing devices to provide a presentation of at least some of the identified portion(s) of the video content using a buffer of the streamed video information, which may allow the computing device to present the video content without permanently storing the video information.

  • Patent number: 11710494
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining periods of excessive noise for smart speaker voice commands. An electronic timeline of volume levels of currently playing content is made available to a smart speaker. From this timeline, periods of high content volume are determined, and the smart speaker alerts users during periods of high volume, requesting that they wait until the high-volume period has passed before issuing voice commands. In this manner, the smart speaker helps prevent voice commands that may not be detected, or may be detected inaccurately, due to the noise of the content currently being played.
