Apparatus, methods, and computer programs for controlling devices

A method, comprising:

• detecting network traffic activity wherein the network traffic activity is indicative of one or more actions performed with at least one network device;
• identifying a user input made with a user of a user device wherein the at least one network device is different to the user device and wherein the user input is made in a time interval before the detected network traffic activity;
• determining a user intent of the one or more actions performed with the at least one network device with comparing the identified user input and detected network traffic activity with data relating to user inputs and associated expected network traffic activity stored in a database;
• and
• controlling an output of the user device based on the determined user intent.

A non-transitory program storage device readable with an apparatus, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable with the apparatus for performing operations, the operations comprising:

• detecting network traffic activity wherein the network traffic activity is indicative of one or more actions performed with at least one network device;
• identifying a user input made with a user of a user device wherein the at least one network device is different to the user device and wherein the user input is made in a time interval before the detected network traffic activity;
• determining a user intent of the one or more actions performed with the at least one network device with comparing the identified user input and detected network traffic activity with data relating to user inputs and associated expected network traffic activity stored in a database;
• and
• controlling an output of the user device based on the determined user intent.
