Automated clinical documentation system and method
11581077 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A method, computer program product, and computing system for proactive encounter scanning is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is proactively processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of one or more medical conditions and to generate one or more result set. The one or more result sets are provided to the user.

Speaker based anaphora resolution
11580991 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A speech-processing system configured to determine entities corresponding to ambiguous words such as anaphora (“he,” “she,” “they,” etc.) included in an utterance. The system may associate incoming utterances with a speaker identification (ID), device ID, and other data. The system then tracks entities referred to in utterances so that if a later utterance includes an ambiguous entity reference, the system may take the speaker ID, device ID, etc. from the ambiguous reference, along with the text of the utterance and other data, and compare that information to previously mentioned entities (or other entities that may be relevant) to identify the entity mentioned in the ambiguous statement. Once the entity is determined, the system may then complete command processing of the utterance using the identified entity.

Keyword determinations from conversational data
11580993 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Topics of potential interest to a user, useful for purposes such as targeted advertising and product recommendations, can be extracted from voice content produced by a user. A computing device can capture voice content, such as when a user speaks into or near the device. One or more sniffer algorithms or processes can attempt to identify trigger words in the voice content, which can indicate a level of interest of the user. For each identified potential trigger word, the device can capture adjacent audio that can be analyzed, on the device or remotely, to attempt to determine one or more keywords associated with that trigger word. The identified keywords can be stored and/or transmitted to an appropriate location accessible to entities such as advertisers or content providers who can use the keywords to attempt to select or customize content that is likely relevant to the user.

Device and method for activating with voice input
11580976 · 2023-02-14 · ·

An information processing apparatus that detects a voice command via a microphone in order to activate the device and execute certain applications. The apparatus comprises a digital signal processor (DSP) and a host controller which are responsible for processing the voice commands. The DSP recognizes and processes voice commands intermittently while the host processor is in a sleep state, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the apparatus. Further, when the DSP is configured to recognize voice commands intended, only to activate the device, a memory having a sufficiently lower storage capacity suffices.

Multi-user devices in a connected home environment
11580973 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A device implementing a system for providing content in response to a request includes a processor configured to receive a voice request for content associated with a home environment, the voice request corresponding to a user account, and determine, based on the voice request, not to provide the content via the device. The processor is further configured to select, in response to the determining, a second device from among multiple devices associated with the home environment, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on configuration settings associated with the home environment, and provide for the second device to output the content based on a profile of the user account.

IN-VEHICLE USER POSITIONING METHOD, IN-VEHICLE INTERACTION METHOD, VEHICLE-MOUNTED APPARATUS, AND VEHICLE
20230038039 · 2023-02-09 ·

This application provides an in-vehicle user positioning method, an in-vehicle interaction method, a vehicle-mounted apparatus, and a vehicle. In an example, the in-vehicle user positioning method includes: obtaining a sound signal collected by an in-vehicle microphone; in response to that a first voice command is recognized from the sound signal, determining a first user who sends the first voice command; and determining an in-vehicle location of the first user based on a mapping relationship between an in-vehicle user and an in-vehicle location.

SMART BED BODY STRUCTURE

A smart bed body structure includes: a bed body, a control unit, a speech recognition unit and an audio device. The control unit is electrically connected with the speech recognition unit; the speech recognition unit is electrically connected with the audio device. The bed body includes: a load-bearing mechanism, at least one turnover mechanism and a base. The control unit and the audio device are arranged on the bottom face of the load-bearing mechanism. The load-bearing mechanism is arranged on the top face of the base, the turnover mechanisms being arranged between the load-bearing mechanism and the base, the load-bearing mechanism can be upwards turned over relative to the base by means of the turnover mechanisms. The control unit is electrically connected with the turnover mechanisms.

Local voice data processing

Example techniques relate to local voice control in a media playback system. A satellite device (e.g., a playback device or microcontroller unit) may be configured to recognize a local set of keywords in voice inputs including context specific keywords (e.g., for controlling an associated smart device) as well as keywords corresponding to a subset of media playback commands for controlling playback devices in the media playback system. The satellite device may fall back to a hub device (e.g., a playback device) configured to recognize a more extensive set of keywords. In some examples, either device may fall back to the cloud for processing of other voice inputs.
