Abstract

An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors:
- memory storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive input representing user instruction to provide a reminder in the future, the instruction identifying an entity;
- and
- after receiving the input:
- detect, by a microphone of the electronic device, an audio input;
- identify, in the detected audio input, a voice corresponding to the entity;
- and
- in response to identifying the voice, provide the reminder.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, causes the one or more processors to:
- receive input representing user instruction to provide a reminder in the future, the instruction identifying an entity;
- and
- after receiving the input:
- detect, by a microphone of the electronic device, an audio input;
- identify, in the detected audio input, a voice corresponding to the entity;
- and
- in response to identifying the voice, provide the reminder.
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device:
- receiving input representing user instruction to provide a reminder in the future, the user instruction identifying an entity;
- and
- after receiving the input:
- detecting, by a microphone of the electronic device, an audio input;
- identifying, in the detected audio input, a voice corresponding to the entity;
- and
- in response to identifying the voice, providing the reminder.
An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors:
- memory storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive input representing user instruction to provide a reminder in the future, the instruction identifying an entity;
- after receiving the input, detect an external electronic device, the detecting including determining that the external electronic device is associated with the entity;
- and
- in response to detecting the external electronic device, provide the reminder.
