Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for voice-based determination of physical and emotional characteristics of users. Example methods may include determining first voice data, wherein the first voice data is generated by a user, determining a first real-time user status of the user using the first voice data, generating a first data tag indicative of the first real-time user status, determining first audio content for presentation at a speaker device using the first data tag and the first voice data, and causing presentation of the first audio content via a speaker of the speaker device.
Claims19
A speaker device comprising:
- a microphone;
- at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
- at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- receive, using the microphone, first voice input from a user comprising a user utterance;
- determine background noise in the first voice data;
- determine that the user is in an ambient environment with multiple users;
- generate a first tag indicative of a multiple user audience;
- process the first voice data of the first voice input using a first signal processing algorithm;
- determine that a physical status of the user is abnormal;
- select a sore throat physical status for the user;
- generate a second tag indicative of the sore throat physical status;
- apply a second signal processing algorithm to the first voice data;
- determine that an emotional status of the user indicates the user is excited;
- select an excited emotional status for the user;
- generate a third tag indicative of the excited emotional status;
- send a content request comprising the first voice data, the first tag, the second tag, and the third tag to a server, wherein the server determines first audio content for presentation at the speaker device;
- receive an indication of the first audio content;
- and
- present the first audio content, wherein targeting criteria for the first audio content comprises the sore throat physical status, the excited emotional status, and the multiple user audience.
16 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining, by one or more computer processors coupled to at least one memory, first voice data, wherein the first voice data is generated by a user;
- determining a first real-time user status of the user using the first voice data;
- generating a first data tag indicative of the first real-time user status;
- determining candidate audio content for presentation using the first data tag, the candidate audio content comprising first audio content and second audio content;
- determining that a first score for the first audio content is greater than a second score for the second audio content, wherein the first score is determined using a first targeting criteria, and the second score is determined using a second targeting criteria;
- determining the first audio content for presentation at a speaker device;
- and
- causing presentation of the first audio content via a speaker of the speaker device.

- determine that a first score for the first audio content is greater than a second score for the second audio content, wherein the first score is determined using a first targeting criteria, and the second score is determined using a second targeting criteria;
- determine the first audio content for presentation at a speaker device;
- and
- present the first audio content via a speaker.
