Abstract
A method includes generating an alert message in a device. The device is one of a plurality of connected devices. The alert message is suppressed in the device responsive to a state of a microphone of any of the plurality of connected devices indicating an active state. A device includes a microphone, a speaker, and a processor coupled to the microphone and the speaker. The processor is to generate an alert message and suppress the alert message responsive to a state of a microphone of any of a plurality of connected devices including the device indicating an active state.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- establishing a first connection between a first device and a first audio playback device;
- generating a notification message in the first device while the first device is in a voice assist mode of operation;
- and
- suppressing a readout of the notification message using the first connection responsive to determining that the audio playback device is a non-user-specific device.
A method, comprising:
- establishing a plurality of concurrent connections between a first device and a plurality of second devices;
- generating a notification message in the first device while the first device is in a readout mode of operation;
- and
- suppressing a readout of the notification message using the plurality of concurrent connections responsive to determining an active state of the plurality of concurrent connections.
A device, comprising:
- a transceiver to establish a first connection to a first audio playback device;
- a processor coupled to the transceiver to generate a notification message while the device is in a voice assist mode of operation and suppress a readout of the notification message over the first connection responsive to determining that the first audio playback device is a non-user-specific device.
A device, comprising:
- a transceiver to establish a plurality of concurrent connections between a first device and a plurality of second devices;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver to generate a notification message while the device is in a readout mode of operation and suppress a readout of the notification message using the plurality of concurrent connections responsive to determining an active state of the plurality of concurrent connections.
