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 music service provider then transmits 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 includes claims for a network device with specific functionalities, such as selecting a music service provider based on confidence metrics, determining identifiers for requested audio content, and transmitting these identifiers to the playback device. The claims also cover scenarios where the network device includes microphones for receiving voice utterances, and the confidence metrics are compared against a threshold to make the selection. Additionally, the patent extends to non-transitory computer-readable mediums provisioned with program instructions for implementing the described methods. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing user experience by efficiently identifying and delivering audio content from the most suitable music service provider based on user commands and playback device capabilities.
