›This application is related to the following patent…

This application is related to the following patent applications, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety:

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/592,126, filed May 10, 2017, titled “Voice-Controlled Closed Caption Display”;

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/592,128, filed May 10, 2017, titled “Media Transfer among Media Output Devices”;

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/593,236, filed May 11, 2017, titled “Personalized and Contextualized Audio Briefing”; and

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/592,137, filed May 10, 2017, titled “Implementations for Voice Assistant on Devices.”

FIG. 1 is a front left ¾ view of a panel of a voice interface device showing the new design.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the panel of the voice interface device shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 3 is a rear view of the panel of the voice interface device shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the panel of the voice interface device shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 5 is a top view of the panel of the voice interface device shown in FIG. 1 ; and,

FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the panel of the voice interface device shown in FIG. 1 .

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 , the twelve small shaded areas on the top of the panel of the voice interface device form part of the claimed designs. The dotted circles enclosing the twelve small shaded areas do not form part of the claimed design. The different shading within the twelve small shaded areas represents an illuminated surface resulting in a contrast as compared to the area outside of the twelve small shaded areas. All other broken dashed lines in the drawings showing the remaining portions of the voice interface device depict environmental structure only and form no part of the claimed design.
