Conditionally assigning various automated assistant function(s) to interaction with a peripheral assistant control device

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• determining, based on data that is accessible via a computing device, whether a peripheral assistant control device is connected to a first client device or is instead connected to a second client device,
• wherein the peripheral assistant control device is in wireless communication with the computing device, and an automated assistant is accessible via the computing device;
• receiving, from the peripheral assistant control device, interaction data that is generated in response to a touch interface of the peripheral assistant control device receiving a touch input;
• in response to receiving the interaction data:
• selecting, based on whether the peripheral assistant control device is connected to the first client device or is instead connected to the second client device and from among at least a first automated assistant function and a second automated assistant function, a particular function, wherein the selecting comprises:
• selecting the first automated assistant function as the particular function when the peripheral assistant control device is connected to the first client device, and
• selecting the second automated assistant function as the particular function when the peripheral assistant control device is connected to the second client device;
• and
• causing an automated assistant to execute the particular function.

A system comprising:

• a computing device;
• a peripheral assistant control device that is in communication with the computing device via a wireless communication channel, wherein the peripheral assistant control device includes a touch interface, and wherein the peripheral assistant control device transmits, to the computing device and via the wireless communication channel, interaction data responsive to a touch input at the touch interface;
• wherein the computing device includes one or more processors configured to execute instructions to:
• assign a first automated assistant function and a second automated assistant function to the peripheral assistant control device in response to one or more spoken utterances that identify only the first automated assistant function;
• receive the interaction data via the wireless communication channel;
• determine a current operating state of an application controlled by the computing device;
• in response to receiving the interaction data:
• select, based on the current operating state and from among at least the first automated assistant function and the second automated assistant function, a particular function, wherein in selecting the current operating state one or more of the processors are to:
• select the first automated assistant function as the particular function when the current operating state is a first state, and
• select the second automated assistant function as the particular function when the current operating state is a second state that is distinct from the first state;
• and
• cause an automated assistant, accessible via the computing device, to execute the particular function.
