Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided herein relating to interactive gaming within a media sharing service. Game data, such as sets of notes extracted from the audio track of user generated videos or from audio samples, can be generated based on videos containing musical content or from audio content. A device can use the game data to facilitate an interactive game during playback of the user generated videos or audio samples. Players can press buttons, for example, corresponding to notes as the video with musical content is played within the game interface. Players can be scored for accuracy, and can play with other players in a multiplayer environment. In this sense, user generated video content or audio content can be transformed and used within a gaming interface to increase interaction and engagement between users in a media sharing service.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech endpointing based on a voice profile. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving audio data corresponding to an utterance spoken by a particular user. The actions further include generating a voice profile for the particular user using at least a portion of the audio data. The actions further include determining in the audio data a beginning point or an ending point of the utterance based at least in part on the voice profile for the particular user. The actions further include based on the beginning point, the ending point, or both the beginning point and the ending point, outputting data indicating the utterance.
Abstract:
A method for displaying an aggregate count of endorsements is provided, including the following method operations: processing a request for an online resource from a mobile device, the online resource being associated with an object, the online resource including an endorsement mechanism; sending the online resource to the mobile device; processing an input from a user triggering the endorsement mechanism, to define an endorsement of the object by the user; updating an aggregate count of endorsements of the object to include the endorsement of the object by the user; sending the updated aggregate count of endorsements to the social display device for display on the social display device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving (i) audio data that encodes a spoken natural language query, and (ii) environmental audio data, obtaining a transcription of the spoken natural language query, determining a particular content type associated with one or more keywords in the transcription, providing at least a portion of the environmental audio data to a content recognition engine, and identifying a content item that has been output by the content recognition engine, and that matches the particular content type.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, from an audio streaming system, a probe audio sample and identifying sufficiently matching reference audio samples based on a first comparison of a first portion of the probe audio sample to reference audio samples. The method also includes, in response to determining that the sufficiently matching reference audio samples do not meet a predetermined score threshold, retaining the sufficiently matching reference audio samples, identifying additional matching reference audio samples based on a second comparison a second portion of the probe audio sample to the reference audio samples, and outputting at least one of the reference audio samples based on the first comparison and the second comparison.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for designating certain voice commands as hotwords. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of receiving a hotword followed by a voice command. Additional actions include determining that the voice command satisfies one or more predetermined criteria associated with designating the voice command as a hotword, where a voice command that is designated as a hotword is treated as a voice input regardless of whether the voice command is preceded by another hotword. Further actions include, in response to determining that the voice command satisfies one or more predetermined criteria associated with designating the voice command as a hotword, designating the voice command as a hotword.
Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes receiving, first notification data from a first application and second notification data from a second application. The method may include generating, based at least in part on comparing the first notification data to the second notification data, an affinity score that indicates whether content from the first notification data has a relationship to at least a portion of content from the second notification data. The method may include, generating a bundle notification graphical element that includes at least a portion of the content from the first notification data and a graphical indicator that indicates the content from the first and second notification data are related. The method may include outputting a set of notification graphical elements comprising the bundle notification graphical element accompanied by the graphical indicator.
Abstract:
A computer-executed technique for grouping and summarizing messages in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a communication application includes received messages and determining a plurality of communication topics therein. The messages are clustered into groups based on the communication topics such that messages in each group relate to the same topic. The messages are displayed in the GUI in the determined groups. A user can select a group to ungroup and view the messages. The communication topics upon which the clustering is based may be specific to each user in the communication session.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, determines, based at least in part on an indication of a selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, text of an electronic communication, and determines, based at least in part on the text, an implied user-expression that characterizes at least a portion of the text. The computing device generates a phrase of one or more iconographic symbols that represent the implied user-expression, and outputs, for display within the graphical keyboard, a graphical indication of the phrase.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for providing user assistance on a mobile device. For example, a method may include receiving a first image of a screen captured on a mobile device, determining key content in the first image by performing recognition on the first image, and using the key content as a query to an index that associates key items with screen capture images previously received from the mobile device. The method may further include determining that a search result of the query includes at least one key item with a rank that exceeds a relevancy threshold, determining a portion of a second image from the screen capture images that is associated with the at least one key item, generating annotation data that includes the portion of the second image, and providing the annotation data for display with the screen on the mobile device.
