Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive user input into the apparatus implicating an output in response, and present the response on a device separate and apart from the apparatus instead of presenting the response on the apparatus.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- receive user input requesting an output;
- determine a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically;
- present the output on the first apparatus;
- and
- present a prompt on the device, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt being presented responsive to a determination that the output cannot be presented on the first apparatus.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a device, user input requesting an output;
- determining a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically;
- and
- presenting a prompt on a display accessible to the device, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt comprising one or more selectors respectively associated with different apparatuses on which the output is presentable, the one or more selectors each being selectable to provide a command to the device to present the output on the respectively associated apparatus.
1 more element
A computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive, at a device, user input requesting an output;
- determine a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically;
- and
- present a prompt on a display accessible to the at least one processor, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt comprising one or more selectors respectively associated with different apparatuses on which the output is presentable, the one or more selectors each being selectable to provide a command to the device to present the output on the respectively associated apparatus.
