Abstract:
A system configured to enable remote control to allow a first user to provide assistance to a second user. The system may receive a command from the second user granting remote control to the first user, enabling the first user to initiate a voice command on behalf of the second user. In some examples, the system may enable the remote control by treating a voice command originating from the first user as though it originated from the second user instead. For example, the system may receive the voice command from a first device associated with the first user but may route the voice command as though it was received by a second device associated with the second user. To enable this functionality, during a remote control session the first device may disable wakeword detection so that the voice command is correctly routed to the second device.
