Abstract
Devices and methods for routing content are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for routing content include receiving audio data representing a command from a first electronic device, determining content that is associated with the command, sending responsive audio data to the first electronic device, and sending instructions to the second electronic device to output the content associated with the command. In some embodiments, a method for routing contents includes determining a state of the second electronic device and sending instructions to output the content to a selected one of the first and second electronic devices based on the state of the second electronic device.
Claims20
A method performed by a computing system connected to a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first electronic device and via the network, first data representing a natural language input;
- determining, based at least in part on the first data, a request corresponding to the natural language input;
- determining that a second electronic device associated with the first electronic device is capable of processing second data corresponding to the request;
- determining third data representing a response to the natural language input;
- sending, to the first electronic device via the network, the third data, such that the response is output by the first electronic device;
- and
- sending, to the second electronic device and via the network, the second data.
A computing system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:
- receive, from a first electronic device and via a network, first data representing a natural language input;
- determine, based at least in part on the first data, a request corresponding to the natural language input;
- determine that a second electronic device associated with the first electronic device is capable of processing second data corresponding to the request;
- determine third data representing a response to the natural language input;
- send, to the first electronic device via the network, the third data, such that the response is output by the first electronic device;
- and
- send, to the second electronic device and via the network, the second data.
