Hey Brain Fam,
Sounds like something's afoot with Harman and SoundHound, which is very interesting considering their links with Mercedes' infotainment system (see above).

Hi
@Diogenese
Just looking at the latest patent from Soundhound.
Sorry one minute. Blind Freddie wanted to know how I found a patent and if you sent it to me.
Anyway the following extracted passage suggests to me Soundhound envisage working with whoever is providing Hey Mercedes to Mercedes Benz:
API FOR SERVICE PROVIDER FULFILLMENT OF DATA PRIVACY REQUESTS
Apr 22, 2021 -
SoundHound, Inc
“Referring now to the block diagram of FIG. 2, once a user
100 issues a privacy request to client device
102, an API according to the present technology is used to implement the privacy request on one or more downstream service providers, such as for example a voice assistant used by the client device
102to improve its voice recognition and natural language understanding with user
100. The downstream service provider
126 may work with one or more affiliates
112 to implement its service to client device
102, as described below.
Referring now to the block diagram of FIG. 3, client device
102 may include a processor
116 configured to control the operations within device
102. The processor
116 may include a standardized processor, a specialized processor, a microprocessor, or the like that may execute instructions for controlling device
102. The processor
116 may be used to implement a human/machine interface (“HMI”) where device
102 can receive audio input from the user
100 via microphone(s)
118, and after processing of the audio input, the device
102 provides feedback to the user via speaker(s)
120. The audio may be processed by speech recognition and natural language processing algorithms resident in memory
122and/or on a remote voice assistant service provider
126. The memory
122may include RAM, ROM, cache, Flash memory, a hard disk, and/or any other suitable storage component. The device
102 may further include communications circuitry such as a network interface
128 for connecting to various cloud resources via the Internet
130. For example, audio input and/or other data and information may be transferred to and from the device
102via the network interface
128connecting to the Internet
130.
The client device
102 may also send and receive data and information to a server
140 associated with the device
102. For example, where the client device
102 is an in-car virtual assistant, the server
140 may be owned or controlled by the car maker or company that provided the car
104 and device
102. The client device
102 and server
140 are together referred to herein as a client device system
142. As noted in the Background section, the company providing or controlling the client device system
142may partner with the service provider
126 to provide services to the client device
102, such as for example voice recognition and natural language understanding capabilities. Thus, the server
140 is also referred to herein as a partner server
140.”
Of course I believe this is definitely Brainchip and AKIDA being the client device they reference where Mercedes’ Benz is concerned.
Any thoughts?
My opinion only DYOR
