Techniques for controlling operations of a motor based on position errors are described. In an example, a user device sends an amount of electrical current to the motor to cause the motor to move. The user device also determines the motor is in position for a time interval despite the amount of electrical current. Based at least one the time interval and the amount of electrical current, the user device determines a position difference associated with a target position and a measured position of the motor during the time interval, and reduces the amount of electrical current based at least in part on the time interval.

Back-drive of motor based on position data

The present teaching relates to dynamically generating a card. In one example, a request is received for generating a card to be provided to a user. Dynamic information related to the request is obtained. One or more modules are selected to be put into the card based on the dynamic information. The card is generated based on the selected one or more modules.

Method and system for dynamically generating a card

Techniques for dynamic profile data ingestion are described. The system may process profile data associated with one device, such as a mobile device, to associate it with another device, such as a vehicle. For example, when a connection is made between the first device and the second device, the profile data associated with the first device may be associated with the second device, in a manner using a remote system. The remote system may temporarily associate the profile data with the second device, enabling the system to interpret a command using the profile data.

Dynamic profile ingestion

A device having a voice-based interface activates or 'wakes' when it detects an utterance that includes a wakeword; the device may be installed in a vehicle, such as an automobile. The device may distinguish between different wakewords; a different speech processing system may be associated with each wakeword, and each speech processing engine may have its own speech style and associated applications and functions.

Multiple speech processing system with synthesized speech styles

An autonomous mobile device (AMD) may move around a physical space performing various tasks. Most of the sensors on the AMD may be directed towards the front and sides of the AMD to facilitate autonomous navigation, interactions with users, and so forth. The AMD may return to a dock to recharge batteries, replenish consumables, transfer payload, and so forth. The AMD uses the sensors to approach the vicinity of the dock. Once in the vicinity, the AMD turns around and backs into the dock. This orientation allows the AMD to continue to operate the forward-facing sensors and interact with users while docked. The AMD uses inductive sensors to detect metallic targets located at particular positions in the dock. Output from the inductive sensors provides information about the relative position of the AMD with respect to the dock and is used to steer the AMD into a desired docked position.

Techniques for dynamic contact ingestion are described. A system may interpret a voice command received from a first device based on contact data or other information associated with a second device connected to the first device. For example, when a data connection is made between the first device and the second device, the first device may receive the contact data and send the contact data to a remote system. The remote system may temporarily associate the contact data with the first device, enabling the remote system to interpret a voice command received from the first device using the contact data. The remote system may use the contact data to perform disambiguation, enabling the remote system to initiate outbound calls, announce inbound calls, and/or the like. When the second device is disconnected from the first device, the remote system may remove the association between the contact data and the first device.

Dynamic contact ingestion

An autonomous mobile device (AMD) operating in a first mode moves within a physical space to perform various tasks such as displaying information on a screen, following a user, and so forth. The first mode may involve the AMD moving or maintaining a particular pose. While the AMD is in the first mode, a user may apply an external force to the AMD to reposition the AMD to a desired pose. Application of this external force on the AMD is detected and results in the AMD transitioning to a second mode in which the AMD may be repositioned. While in the second mode, the user may reposition the AMD. The second mode may constrain the magnitude of the resulting movement, preventing the user from moving the AMD too quickly which could damage components within the AMD. Once the external force ceases, the AMD may transition back to the first mode.

System to facilitate control of autonomous mobile device by external force

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for receiving by one or more servers, from a client device, a context of the client device. The servers may obtain, from a plurality of user interface object providers, a plurality of user interface objects. The servers may select and rank a set of the plurality of user interface objects based, at least in part, on the context of the client device. The servers may transmit the set of the plurality of user interface objects or information associated therewith to the client device according to the ranking of the set of user interface objects.

Packets or data units and their related credit returns each include an assigned phase value. When a credit test is desired, the phase value of outgoing data units is changed, for example from 0 to 1, and a new counter is set to a value of the outstanding credits having the original phase value. With each original phase credit received, the counter value is decremented. When a credit having the new phase value is received, the counter value indicates the amount of any credit error and appropriate corrections may be made.

Systems and methods for managing inventory in an online advertising system are described herein. The inventory may comprise advertisement ('ad') impressions. In accordance with certain implementations, the systems and methods enable advertisers to target groups of inventory (e.g., 'run of' inventory groups) made available by publishers and sold at a non-premium rate, while also enabling the publishers to selectively designate certain inventory within a given inventory group as premium. Inventory so designated is automatically excluded from an inventory group to which it would normally belong both during a booking process as well as during an ad serving process.

A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity and non-entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around.
