Utility
Speaker-identification model for controlling operation of a media player
2 May 23
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) obtaining, by a media player of a media presentation system, an audio signal, where the audio signal includes a voice command and is obtained using a microphone of the media presentation system; (ii) identifying, by the media player, which of multiple speakers of a household uttered the voice command using the audio signal and a speaker-identification model; (iii) performing, by the media player, an action corresponding to the voice command; and (iv) based on the identifying of the speaker using the audio signal and the speaker-identification model, selecting, by the media player, a user profile associated with the identified speaker within a streaming channel so as to bypass a profile selection screen of the streaming channel.

Utility
Media channel identification and action, with disambiguation through client-side fingerprint matching of channel-specific icon
25 Apr 23
Disclosed is a method including (i) detecting that query fingerprint data representing frames of video content being rendered by a media presentation device matches reference fingerprint data representing frames of multiple channels of video content, including detecting that the query fingerprint data matches multiple instances of reference fingerprint data each representing frames of a different respective channel in the multiple channels of video content, and (ii) responsive to at least the detecting that the query fingerprint data representing the frames of the video content being rendered by the device matches the reference fingerprint data representing the frames of the multiple channels of video content, configuring the device with channel-icon fingerprint data representing channel icons of the multiple channels of video content, to enable the device to perform channel-icon fingerprint matching to determine which channel of the multiple channels is being rendered by the device.
