Wake word selection assistance architectures and methods

A system comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations for custom wake word selection, the operations comprising:
• determining one or more characteristics of a custom wake word;
• determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections based on the characteristics;
• rejecting the custom wake word as the wake word for accessing a personal assistant in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections;
• and
• setting the custom wake word as the wake word in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will not cause more than the threshold rate of false detections.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations of custom wake word selection assistance, the operations comprising:

• determining one or more characteristics of a custom wake word;
• determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections based on the characteristics;
• rejecting the custom wake word as the wake word for accessing a personal assistant in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will cause more than a threshold rate of false detections;
• and
• setting the custom wake word as the wake word in response to determining that use of the custom wake word will not cause more than the threshold rate of false detections.
