Voice command execution within defined physical boundary
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12014734B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for voice-controlled devices (VCDs) that involves defining command boundaries based on user inputs. The method includes receiving voice commands within these boundaries, determining their origination location, classifying them into categories, and executing them accordingly. Additionally, the patent describes the ability to store data related to these voice commands, allowing for personalized and efficient interaction with VCDs.
Furthermore, the patent details the possibility of multiple command boundaries associated with different command categories or users, ensuring tailored responses to voice commands. The method also involves training a learning model based on user feedback to optimize the command boundaries. Additionally, the patent mentions the deactivation of command boundaries based on triggers such as the number of executed commands or a specific time period. The system and computer program product described in the patent further elaborate on the implementation of these methods, emphasizing the efficient execution of voice commands within defined boundaries while ensuring user-specific interactions and data storage.
