Abstract
Example embodiments provide techniques for configuring a system to receive an input at a source device and present an output at another device within the same space as the source device. The output device may be selected based on various factors relating to the capabilities of the output device, the type of output responsive to the user input, whether the output device is active, whether the output device was recently used and others.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first user input from a first device, wherein the first device is associated with a user profile and is unable to present a first output responsive to the first user input;
- failing to determine the user profile indicates a group of devices corresponding to the first device;
- based on failing to determine the user profile indicates a group of devices corresponding to the first device, presenting a first request to create a first group of devices;
- receiving a second user input indicating a second device is to be associated with the first group of devices, the second device being configured to present the first output;
- and
- causing the second device to present the first output.
3 more elements
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 a first user input from a first device, wherein the first device is associated with a user profile and is unable to present a first output responsive to the first user input;
- fail to determine the user profile indicates a group of devices corresponding to the first device;
- based on failing to determine the user profile indicates a group of devices corresponding to the first device, present a first request to create a first group of devices;
- receive a second user input indicating a second device is to be associated with the first group of devices, the second device being configured to present the first output;
- and
- cause the second device to present the first output.
