HOTWORD DETECTION ON MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18617528 titled 'HOTWORD DETECTION ON MULTIPLE DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for detecting hotwords on multiple devices by analyzing audio data and determining the likelihood of a hotword being present.
- Receiving audio data corresponding to an utterance
- Analyzing the audio data to determine the likelihood of a hotword
- Calculating a loudness score for the audio data
- Determining an amount of delay time based on the loudness score
- Transmitting a signal to initiate speech recognition processing after the delay time
Key Features and Innovation
- Detection of hotwords on multiple devices
- Analysis of audio data to determine likelihood of hotword presence
- Calculation of delay time based on loudness score
- Initiation of speech recognition processing after delay time
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in smart home devices, virtual assistants, and other voice-activated systems to improve hotword detection accuracy.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of accurately detecting hotwords in noisy environments or across multiple devices.
Benefits
- Enhanced hotword detection accuracy
- Improved user experience with voice-activated devices
- Increased efficiency in speech recognition processing
Commercial Applications
- Smart home devices
- Virtual assistants
- Voice-activated systems in cars

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for hotword detection on multiple devices are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a computing device, audio data that corresponds to an utterance. The actions further include determining a likelihood that the utterance includes a hotword. The actions further include determining a loudness score for the audio data. The actions further include based on the loudness score, determining an amount of delay time. The actions further include, after the amount of delay time has elapsed, transmitting a signal that indicates that the computing device will initiate speech recognition processing on the audio data.
