Abstract
In one aspect, a first device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input from at least one microphone, with the input indicating an audible notification from a second device different from the first device. The instructions may then be executable to, based on the input from the at least one microphone, provide an output indicating a location of the second device and/or an identifier of the second device.
Claims20
A first device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- detect an audible notification from a second device different from the first device;
- subsequent to the detection of the audible notification, receive audible input from a user requesting information pertaining to the audible notification from the second device;
- responsive to receipt of the audible input, determine whether the second device is a registered device;
- based on a determination that the second device is a registered device, access registration data associated with the second device and present a first graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the first GUI indicating the registration data and indicating instructions for how to stop recurrence of the audible notification, the first GUI further comprising a selector that is selectable to initiate presentation of a video on how to stop recurrence of the audible notification;
- based on a determination that the second device is not a registered device, present a second GUI on the display, the second GUI being different from the first GUI, the second GUI indicating that the second device is not registered and also indicating estimated information about the second device.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, at a first device, an audible notification from a second device different from the first device;
- subsequent to the detection of the audible notification, receiving audible input from a user requesting information pertaining to the audible notification from the second device;
- responsive to receipt of the audible input, determining whether the second device is a registered device;
- based on a determination that the second device is a registered device, accessing registration data associated with the second device and presenting a first graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the first GUI indicating the registration data;
- based on a determination that the second device is not a registered device, presenting a second GUI on the display, the second GUI being different from the first GUI, the second GUI indicating estimated information about the second device;
- wherein one or more of:
- the first GUI indicates instructions for how to stop recurrence of the audible notification;
- and/or
- the first GUI comprises a selector that is selectable to initiate presentation of a video on how to stop recurrence of the audible notification.
At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- detect, at a first device, an audible notification from a second device different from the first device;
- subsequent to the detection of the audible notification, receive audible input from a user requesting information pertaining to the audible notification from the second device;
- responsive to receipt of the audible input, determine whether the second device is a registered device;
- based on a determination that the second device is a registered device, access registration data associated with the second device and present a first graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the first GUI indicating the registration data;
- based on a determination that the second device is not a registered device, present a second GUI on the display, the second GUI being different from the first GUI, the second GUI indicating estimated information about the second device;
- wherein one or more of:
- the first GUI indicates instructions for how to stop recurrence of the audible notification;
- and/or
- the first GUI comprises a selector that is selectable to initiate presentation of a video on how to stop recurrence of the audible notification.
