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.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving audio data representing audio originating from a first user of a first device, the first user and the first device associated with a first user profile;
- performing speech processing using the audio data to determine that the audio data corresponds to a command to perform an action with respect to a second user profile, the action to be performed as if the command originated from the second user profile, instead of the first user profile, wherein the second user profile is associated with a second user different from the first user;
- determining that the second user profile includes permission data indicating that commands originating from the first user profile are permitted to be performed as if the commands originated from the second user profile;
- based at least in part on the permission data, associating the command with the second user profile, instead of the first user profile;
- and
- based at least in part on the command being associated with the second user profile, instead of the first user profile, causing the command to be executed with respect to the second user profile, instead of the first user profile.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- receive audio data representing audio originating from a first user of a first device, the first user and the first device associated with a first user profile;
- perform speech processing using the audio data to determine that the audio data corresponds to a command to perform an action with respect to a second user profile, the action to be performed as if the command originated from the second user profile, instead of the first user profile, wherein the second user profile is associated with a second user different from the first user;
- determine that the second user profile includes permission data indicating that commands originating from the first user profile are permitted to be performed as if the commands originated from the second user profile;
- based at least in part on the permission data, associating the command with the second user profile, instead of the first user profile;
- and
- based on the command being associated with the second user profile, instead of the first user profile, causing the command to be executed with respect to the second user profile, instead of the first user profile.
