Abstract
Disclosed are various aspects of voice skill session lifetime management. In some examples, an inaudible sonic check-in announcement is detected. An inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication is emitted by a voice-activated device. An inaudible sonic authentication is detected. The inaudible sonic authentication includes a service provider identifier. The inaudible sonic check-in announcement is identified as authentic based on task data retrieved based on the service provider identifier. An inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data is emitted by the voice-activated device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device comprising at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- detect an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
- emit an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
- detect an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
- transmit a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
- determine that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data;
- and
- emit an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause at least one computing device to at least:
- detect an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
- emit an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
- detect an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
- transmit a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
- determine that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data;
- and
- emit an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
A method performed by at least one computing device based on instructions executed by at least one processor of the at least one computing device, the method comprising:
- detecting an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
- emitting an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
- detecting an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
- transmitting a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
- determining that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data;
- and
- emitting an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
