INTEGRATING SHORT-TERM CONTEXT FOR CONTENT PLAYBACK ADAPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349658 titled 'INTEGRATING SHORT-TERM CONTEXT FOR CONTENT PLAYBACK ADAPTION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for an assistant-enabled device to adjust content playback settings based on contextual signals from its environment. - The device receives a contextual signal and uses an event recognition routine to determine if the signal indicates an event that conflicts with the media content being played. - If a conflict is detected, the device adjusts the content playback settings accordingly. - The purpose of this innovation is to ensure that the assistant-enabled device can adapt its playback settings to accommodate any events in the environment that may interfere with the media content being played.


Original Abstract Submitted

While an assistant-enabled device is playing back media content, a method includes receiving a contextual signal from an environment of the assistant-enabled device and executing an event recognition routine to determine whether the received contextual signal is indicative of an event that conflicts with the playback of the media content from the assistant-enabled device. When the event recognition routine determines that the received contextual signal is indicative of the event that conflicts with the playback of the media content, the method also includes adjusting content playback settings of the assistant-enabled device.
