Multi-modal interfaces

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving, from a secondary device, context information associated with the electronic device, wherein the context information includes an output type and a device type and wherein the context information indicates whether the electronic device is currently receiving a signal from the secondary device;
• in response to receiving the at least one device type from the secondary electronic device, determining whether one or more criteria for disabling the received output type are met based on the context information associated with the electronic device, wherein the one or more criteria for disabling an output type includes whether a noise intensity threshold are exceeded, and wherein the one or more criteria are determined to be met in accordance with the received at least one device type matching a device type of the electronic device;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria for disabling the received output type are met, disabling the received output type.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• receive, from a secondary device, context information associated with the electronic device, wherein the context information includes an output type and a device type and wherein the context information indicates whether the electronic device is currently receiving a signal from the secondary device;
• in response to receiving the at least one device type from the secondary electronic device, determine whether one or more criteria for disabling the received output type are met based on the context information associated with the electronic device, wherein the one or more criteria for disabling an output type includes whether a noise intensity threshold are exceeded, and wherein the one or more criteria are determined to be met in accordance with the received at least one device type matching a device type of the electronic device;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria for disabling the received output type are met, disable the received output type.
