Patent Number: 12284091
Techniques for intelligent multi-carrier network edge application deployment are described. Traffic that is destined for an application implemented in multiple edge locations of a cloud provider network is originated by a mobile user equipment device via use of a communications network of a first communications service provider (CSP). An edge location hosting the application, from multiple such candidates, can be selected as a destination for the traffic. The edge location may be…

Automatic signal composition for media conferences

Granted: April 22, 2025
Patent Number: 12284048
Implementations for compositing two input signals to form a higher quality signal are described. A first input signal is received from a first input device and a second input signal is received from a second input device. The first input signal and the second input signal are combined into a composite input signal. It is then determined that the composite input signal has a higher quality than either the first input signal or the second input signal individually. Based on that…

Factually consistent generative narrations

Granted: April 22, 2025
Patent Number: 12283291
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for determining factually consistent generative narrations. A narrative may be generated by performing steps to determine one or more metadata messages for a first portion of a video stream, determine transcribed commentary for a second portion of the video stream, wherein the second portion includes the first portion, and determine a prompt based at least in part on the one or more metadata messages and the transcribed commentary. The prompt…

Detecting utterance in audio

Granted: April 22, 2025
Patent Number: 12283272
Techniques for processing utterance audio are described. In an example, a computer system determines audio data representing an utterance detected by a device, and generates, based at least in part the audio data, first data representing at least one of portion of the utterance in a frequency domain. The first data specific is to a first frequency range. The computer system determines determining a second frequency range that is a subset of the first frequency range, the second frequency…
