Application: Music service selection (Patent ID: US20240214726A1)
The patent filed by Sonos Inc. describes methods and apparatus for identifying a music service based on a user command. The network device receives a request for audio content based on a voice utterance and selects a music service provider based on confidence metrics derived from the history of accesses to different providers by the playback device. The selected provider is then instructed to transmit audio content for playback on the particular playback device. The system aims to streamline the process of selecting a music service based on user commands and playback device capabilities.
The patent further details the configuration of the network device, including the use of microphones for receiving voice utterances, the determination of confidence metrics exceeding a threshold, and the ability to adjust the confidence level threshold. Additionally, the patent covers scenarios where the network device itself serves as the playback device and the inclusion of multiple playback devices in a media playback system. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated system for efficiently identifying and selecting a music service provider based on user commands and historical usage patterns, enhancing the user experience in accessing audio content.
