DETECTING AND SUPPRESSING COMMANDS IN MEDIA THAT MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER AUTOMATED ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233735 titled 'DETECTING AND SUPPRESSING COMMANDS IN MEDIA THAT MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER AUTOMATED ASSISTANT
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes techniques for detecting and suppressing commands in media that may trigger another automated assistant. This involves identifying audio segments in digital media that could activate automated assistants and modifying the media to prevent this activation.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Determining the active capabilities of automated assistant devices in an environment.
- Initiating playback of digital media by an automated assistant.
- Processing the digital media to identify triggering audio segments.
- Modifying the digital media to suppress the activation of automated assistants.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be used in smart home devices, streaming services, and other media platforms to prevent unintended activations of automated assistants.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the issue of multiple automated assistants being triggered simultaneously by audio commands in media, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
- Benefits:**
- Prevents interference between multiple automated assistants.
- Enhances user experience by reducing unintended activations.
- Improves the overall efficiency of automated assistant devices.
- Commercial Applications:**
"Automated Assistant Command Suppression Technology for Media Platforms" could be utilized by companies developing smart speakers, streaming devices, and other media products to enhance user experience and prevent disruptions.
- Questions about Automated Assistant Command Suppression Technology:**
1. How does this technology impact the user experience with automated assistants? 2. What are the potential privacy implications of modifying digital media to suppress automated assistant activations?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are described herein for detecting and suppressing commands in media that may trigger another automated assistant. a method includes: determining, for each of a plurality of automated assistant devices in an environment that are each executing at least one automated assistant, an active capability of the automated assistant device; initiating playback of digital media by an automated assistant; in response to initiating playback, processing the digital media to identify an audio segment in the digital media that, upon playback, is expected to trigger activation of at least one automated assistant executing on at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices in the environment, based on the active capability of the at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices; and in response to identifying the audio segment in the digital media, modifying the digital media to suppress the activation of the at least one automated assistant.
