Using structured audio output to detect playback and/or to adapt to misaligned playback in wireless speakers
11100931 · 2021-08-24 · ·

Implementations are directed to determining an audio delay, of a computing device, by causing an audio data stream to be transmitted to the computing device via a wireless communication channel. The computing device causes audio output generated using the audio data stream to be rendered via speaker(s). The rendered audio output is captured via microphone(s), and the audio delay determined by comparing the captured audio output with the audio data stream. A delay audio segment can be appended to an additional audio data stream transmitted to the computing device, where the length of the delay audio segment is determined using the audio delay. A noise reduction technique can additionally or alternatively be adapted based on the audio delay. Implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to determining if an audio data stream transmitted to a computing device for rendering through speaker(s) driven by the computing device—is actually being rendered.

Method for determining a digital assistant for carrying out a vehicle function from a plurality of digital assistants in a vehicle, computer-readable medium, system, and vehicle

A digital assistant is determined from a plurality of digital assistants in a vehicle for performing a vehicle function. A speech message of a vehicle occupant is received via a digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants in the vehicle. A command of the speech message is ascertained via the digital assistant. An execution authorization of the vehicle occupant is determined for the command of the speech message via the digital assistant. If the vehicle occupant has an execution authorization for the command of the speech message, command of the speech message is executed via the digital assistant in order perform the vehicle function in the vehicle.

CONVERSATION DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL
20210193162 · 2021-06-24 ·

Techniques are described for detecting a conversation between at least two people, and for reducing noise during the conversation. In certain embodiments, at least one speech metric is generated based on spectral analysis of an audio signal and is used to determine that the audio signal represents speech from a first person. Responsive to determining that the speech is part of a conversation between the first person and a second person an operating state of a device in a physical environment is adjusted such that a volume level of sound contributed by or associated with the device is reduced. The sound contributed by or associated with the device corresponds to noise, at least for the duration of the conversation. Therefore, reducing the volume level of sound contributed by or associated with the device reduces the overall noise level in the environment, resulting in a reduction in conversational effort.
