- analyzing, by the central device, a collected voice signal;
- obtaining a response factor of the central device;
- receiving a response factor of the non-central device, wherein the response factor of the non-central device is obtained by the non-central device analyzing a collected voice signal;
- comparing the response factor of the central device with the response factor of the non-central device;
- and
- determining a pending voice recognition device, wherein the pending voice recognition device is one of the plurality of voice recognition devices in the area network that responds to the voice signal.
