Title: Reactive speech synthesis
Inventor: Matthew Aylett
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 2017-08-18
Abstract: A method of responding to an interruption in a speech synthesis system (e.g. conversational agents, AI therapists, virtual personal assistants). In response to an interruption event (e.g. when a user has tried to interrupt the dialogue), the system takes an input of the reaction type and earliest time. A new audio is then created which is suitable for splicing. The system then modifies the audio (e.g. selecting different units, applying DSP modification, stopping before the end of the text) based on the type of modification, to introduce different speaking styles to provide a natural response at a speech interface. The interruption may be configured within a particular region such as a phonetic region, word boundary region, and phase level region. Appropriate settings may also be chosen such as switch to Lombard speech or tailing off in a polite manner.

IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2016-07-14
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a user context based on one or more wireless signals. In particular, location data can be determined by a user device. The user device can then detect beacon data broadcast by a first set of beacon devices, and subsequent to detecting the first beacon data, second beacon data broadcast by a second set of beacon devices. The location data can be compared with the first beacon data and the second beacon data to determine a user context. In particular, a context can be determined based at least in part on whether the location data is indicative of a changing location of a user, and whether the second beacon data corresponds to a change in beacon data from the first beacon data.
