HOTWORD SUPPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242719 titled 'HOTWORD SUPPRESSION
The abstract describes a method where a first computing device adds an audio watermark to speech data containing a hotword, which is then played back to invoke the attention of a second computing device. The second device receives the watermarked speech data and decides to stop processing it.
- Adding audio watermark to speech data with a hotword to capture the attention of another device
- Playback of the watermarked speech data to trigger the second device
- Ceasing processing of the watermarked speech data by the second device
Potential Applications: - Voice-activated devices - Security systems - Personal assistants
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience with voice commands - Improving security measures with audio recognition
Benefits: - Efficient communication between devices - Enhanced security features - Streamlined user interaction
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Voice Command Systems with Audio Watermarking Technology" This technology can be utilized in smart home devices, security systems, and virtual assistants to improve user experience and security measures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the audio watermarking technology impact the efficiency of voice-activated devices? 2. What are the potential security implications of using audio watermarking in communication systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes adding, by a first computing device, a first audio watermark to first speech data corresponding to playback of a first utterance including a hotword used to invoke an attention of a second computing device. the method includes outputting, by the first computing device, the playback of the first utterance corresponding to the watermarked first speech data. the second computing device is configured to receive the watermarked first speech data and determine to cease processing of the watermarked first speech data.
