Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes exchanging device data, associated with a first participating user device, with the one or more second participating user devices; receiving audio data associated with a voice command; exchanging the audio data with the one or more second participating user devices; identifying, by the first participating user device, a voice command based on exchanging the audio data; determining which one of the first participating user device or the one or more second participating user devices should respond to the voice command based on details of the voice command and the exchanging the device data; responding to the voice command based on determining that the first participating user device should respond to the voice command; and signaling a particular second participating user device to respond to the voice command based on determining that the particular second participating user device should respond to the voice command.
