Dynamic service management using voice-activated devices
Disclosed are various aspects of voice skill session lifetime management. In some examples, an inaudible sonic check-in announcement is detected. An inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication is emitted by a voice-activated device. An inaudible sonic authentication is detected. The inaudible sonic authentication includes a service provider identifier. The inaudible sonic check-in announcement is identified as authentic based on task data retrieved based on the service provider identifier. An inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data is emitted by the voice-activated device.
1. A system, comprising:
at least one computing device comprising at least one processor; and
at least one memory comprising executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one computing device to at least:
detect an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
emit an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
detect an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
transmit a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
determine that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data; and
emit an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inaudible sonic authentication comprises a task identifier for a task of the service provider.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the task data comprises a list of tasks that are available to be performed in association with the inaudible sonic check-in announcement.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one computing device to at least:
perform at least one task prerequisite action, wherein the task data specifies the at least one task prerequisite action.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one task prerequisite action comprises at least one of: generating an audible notification, identifying a user approval, emitting updated instructions, providing access to a secured location associated with the task, and communicating a task request.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is emitted by an autonomous vehicle of the service provider.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a respective one of the inaudible sonic check-in announcement, the inaudible sonic request for the check-in authentication, and the inaudible sonic approval comprises: an ultrasonic frequency, or an infrasonic frequency.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause at least one computing device to at least:
detect an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
emit an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
detect an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
transmit a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
determine that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data; and
emit an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the inaudible sonic authentication comprises a task identifier for a task of the service provider.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the task data comprises a list of tasks that are available to be performed in association with the inaudible sonic check-in announcement.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one computing device to at least:
perform at least one task prerequisite action, wherein the task data specifies the at least one task prerequisite action.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the at least one task prerequisite action comprises at least one of: generating an audible notification, identifying a user approval, emitting updated instructions, providing access to a secured location associated with the task, and communicating a task request.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is emitted by an autonomous vehicle of the service provider.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein a respective one of the inaudible sonic check-in announcement, the inaudible sonic request for the check-in authentication, and the inaudible sonic approval comprises: an ultrasonic frequency, or an infrasonic frequency.
15. A method performed by at least one computing device based on instructions executed by at least one processor of the at least one computing device, the method comprising:
detecting an inaudible sonic check-in announcement;
emitting an inaudible sonic request for check-in authentication;
detecting an inaudible sonic authentication comprising a service provider identifier for a service provider;
transmitting a task data request to retrieve task data associated with the service provider;
determining that the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is authentic based on the task data; and
emitting an inaudible sonic approval to perform a task specified in the task data.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the inaudible sonic authentication comprises a task identifier for a task of the service provider.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the task data comprises a list of tasks that are available to be performed in association with the inaudible sonic check-in announcement.
18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
performing at least one task prerequisite action, wherein the task data specifies the at least one task prerequisite action.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the at least one task prerequisite action comprises at least one of: generating an audible notification, identifying a user approval, emitting updated instructions, providing access to a secured location associated with the task, and communicating a task request.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the inaudible sonic check-in announcement is emitted by an autonomous vehicle of the service provider.
