Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-based device operation mode management. Example methods may include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, and determining that being coupled to the accessory device triggers activation of a first operation mode at the device. The first operation mode presents digital content at the display in a user interface having a first content density that is less than a second content density of a second operation mode. Example methods may include causing the device to activate the first operation mode, receiving first voice data indicative of a request to change the device operation mode to the second operation mode, and causing the device to activate the second operation mode.

Voice-based device operation mode management

Input-based device operation mode management

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications. Example methods may include receiving first audio data representing an utterance, determining that the device is in a first operating mode when the audio data was received, determining that the device is in a locked state when the audio data is received, and receiving, from a remote system, a command to display information based at least on part on the audio data. Certain methods may include receiving an indication that the utterance was spoken by a user authorized to access the information while in the first operating mode and the locked state, and causing presentation of the information by the device.

Selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-forward graphical user interface mode management. Example methods include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, determining that being coupled to the accessory device causes the device to deactivate a first operating mode and activate a second operating mode, where the second operating mode has a lower content density than the first operating mode, and determining that an application setting of an application executing on the device is causing the device to remain in the first operating mode. Example methods may include determining that a new value is associated with the application setting, and causing the device to activate the second operating mode.

Voice-forward graphical user interface mode management

A pivotable safety gate having a pair of spaced apart parallel support frames which each have a distal end and a proximal end. The frames each have a support stanchion which is disposed adjacent the proximal end of the frame. The stanchions support a pivotable pair of gates. When one gate is down, the other gate is up. This gate assembly is utilizable at mezzanine floors where security and safety at edges of those floors are important. The gates prevent accidents and improper entry into areas which should be off limits to passage.

Pivotable safety gate

The present invention comprises a frame assembly which may be readily set up at the edge of a mezzanine floor to provide a safety gate thereat. The assembly has a pair of side walls connected by a horizontally disposed overhead support. A front gate and a rear gate assembly are upwardly and downwardly movable, opposed to one anothers motion, so as to provide a blocking of the edge of the mezzanine floor, and to also define an enlarged work area for fork lift trucks or shipping machinery within that area while keeping it safe from accidents.
