US Patent 10510340 Dynamic wakeword detection

Techniques for using a dynamic wakeword detection threshold are described. A server(s) may receive audio data corresponding to an utterance from a device in response to the device detecting a wakeword using a wakeword detection threshold. The server(s) may then determine the device should use a lower wakeword detection threshold for a duration of time. In addition to sending the device output data responsive to the utterance, the server(s) may send the device an instruction to use the lower wakeword detection threshold for the duration of time. Alternatively, the server(s) may train a machine learning model to determine when the device should use a lower wakeword detection threshold. The server(s) may send the trained machine learned model to the device for use at runtime.
