MULTI-DEVICE OUTPUT MANAGEMENT BASED ON SPEECH CHARACTERISTICS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347171 titled 'MULTI-DEVICE OUTPUT MANAGEMENT BASED ON SPEECH CHARACTERISTICS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that modifies how output is presented across multiple devices based on detecting a speech characteristic in user input.
- The system adjusts the output presentation based on the user's speech characteristics, such as whispering.
- It can lower the volume on all devices presenting the output if the user whispers.
- The system may choose to present the output via a single device instead of multiple devices.
- It can also switch to an alternate output mode based on non-audio data.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Smart home devices
- Virtual assistants
- Communication systems
Problems Solved
- Ensuring appropriate output presentation based on user input
- Enhancing user experience with multi-device configurations
Benefits
- Improved user interaction with devices
- Seamless transition between different output modes
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing output presentation in:
- Entertainment systems
- Conference call setups
- Public announcement systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that adjust output based on user input, but not specifically focused on speech characteristics.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between different speech characteristics?
The system may use algorithms to analyze the audio input and identify specific speech patterns associated with different characteristics.
Can users customize the system's response to their speech characteristics?
Users may have the option to set preferences or profiles that dictate how the system should adjust output based on their speech characteristics.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system is provided for modifying how an output is presented via a multi-device synchronous configuration based on detecting a speech characteristic in the user input. For example, if the user whispers a request, then the system may temporarily modify how the responsive output is presented to the user via multiple devices. In one example, the system may lower the volume on all devices presented the output. In another example, the system may present the output via a single device rather than multiple devices. The system may also determine to operate in a alternate output mode based on certain non-audio data.
