Abstract
Disclosed herein are example techniques for voice detection by multiple NMDs. An example implementation may involve receiving a set of voice recordings from a set of NMDs, and identifying a subset of voice recordings from which to determine a given voice command. The example implementation may further involve causing the identified subset of voice recordings to be analyzed to determine the given voice command.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, via a computing device, a set of voice recordings, wherein each voice recording in the set of voice recordings was detected via a respective networked microphone device (NMD) of a set of NMDs;
- identifying, via the computing device from among the set of voice recordings, a subset of voice recordings from which to determine a given voice command;
- and
- causing the identified subset of voice recordings to be analyzed to determine the given voice command.
Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a set of voice recordings, wherein each voice recording in the set of voice recordings was detected via a respective networked microphone device (NMD) of a set of NMDs;
- identifying, from among the set of voice recordings, a subset of voice recordings from which to determine a given voice command;
- and
- causing the identified subset of voice recordings to be analyzed to determine the given voice command.
A computing device comprising:
- a network interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:
- receiving a set of voice recordings, wherein each voice recording in the set of voice recordings was detected via a respective networked microphone device (NMD) of a set of NMDs;
- identifying, from among the set of voice recordings, a subset of voice recordings from which to determine a given voice command;
- and
- causing the identified subset of voice recordings to be analyzed to determine the given voice command.
