Abstract
Techniques for receiving a voice command from a user and, in response, providing audible content to the user via a first device and providing visual content for the user via a second device. In some instances, the first device includes a microphone for generating audio signals that include user speech, as well as a speaker for outputting audible content in response to identified voice commands from the speech. However, the first device might not include a display for displaying graphical content. As such, the first device may be configured to identify devices that include displays and that are proximate to the first device. The first device may then instruct one or more of these other devices to output visual content associated with a user's voice command.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- computer-executable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving input audio data from a first device;
- performing speech recognition on the input audio data to determine a command to present content via a second device;
- transmitting, based at least in part on the command, output audio data to the first device, the output audio data comprising computer-generated speech associated with presenting the content at the second device;
- and
- transmitting data to present the content via the second device, wherein the first device and the second device are associated.
A processor-implemented method comprising:
- receiving input audio data from a first device;
- performing speech recognition on the input audio data to determine a command to present content via a second device;
- transmitting, based at least in part on the command, output audio data to the first device, the output audio data comprising computer-generated speech indicating that the content is to be presented at the second device;
- and
- transmitting data to present the content via the second device, wherein the first device and the second device are associated.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory;
- and
- computer-executable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving input audio data from a first device;
- performing speech recognition on the input audio data to determine that the input audio data represents a command to present content via a second device;
- transmitting, based at least in part on the command, output audio data to the first device, the output audio data comprising computer-generated speech associated with presenting the content at the second device;
- determining an address associated with the second device;
- and
- transmitting data to the address to present the content via the second device, wherein the first device and the second device are associated.
