Controlling a set of devices by a voice-controlled device

A voice-controlled device for controlling a set of devices, the voice- controlled device comprising processing circuitry causing the voice-controlled device to be operative to perform a method comprising:

• receiving from a user a first voice command comprising:
• i) information identifying a set of devices, the set of devices comprising a first subset of devices and a second subset of devices, the first subset of devices comprising a first device and a second device, and the second subset of devices comprising a third device, and
• ii) a control command to be performed on one or more devices included in the set of devices;
• in response to receiving the first voice command:
• i) presenting a first subset identifier associated with the first subset of devices,
• ii) presenting a second subset identifier associated with the second subset of devices,
• iii) presenting a first device identifier associated with the first device included in the first subset of devices, the first device identifier being distinct from the first subset identifier, and
• iv) presenting a second device identifier associated with the second device included in the first subset of devices, the second device identifier being distinct from both the first subset identifier and the first device identifier;
• receiving a second voice command from the user, the second voice command comprising a reference to the first device;
• and
• in response to receiving the second voice command, performing the control command comprised in the first voice command on the first device.

A product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for controlling a set of devices, the computer program comprising computer code which, when run on processing circuitry of a voice-controlled device, causes the voice- controlled device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving from a user a first voice command comprising:i) information identifying a set of devices, the set of devices comprising a first subset of devices and a second subset of devices, the first subset of devices comprising a
• first device and a second device, and the second subset of devices comprising a third device, and
• ii) a control command to be performed on one or more devices included in the set of devices;
• in response to receiving the first voice command:
• i) presenting a first subset identifier associated with the first subset of devices,
• ii) presenting a second subset identifier associated with the second subset of devices,
• iii) presenting a first device identifier associated with the first device included in the first subset of devices, the first device identifier being distinct from the first subset identifier, and
• iv) presenting a second device identifier associated with the second device included in the first subset of devices, the second device identifier being distinct from both the first subset identifier and the first device identifier;
• receiving a second voice command from the user, the second voice command comprising a reference to the first device;
• and
• in response to receiving the second voice command, performing the control command comprised in the first voice command on the first device.
