Abstract
In one aspect, a first device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to receive information pertaining to a location of a user and, based at least in part on the information, determine an apparatus to actuate from among plural apparatuses to participate in communication concerning audio data. The instructions are also executable to, based at least in part on the determination, participate in communication with the apparatus concerning audio data.
Claims20
A first device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- receive information pertaining to a location of a user;
- based at least in part on the information, determine an apparatus to actuate from among plural apparatuses to participate in communication concerning audio data;
- based at least in part on the determination, participate in communication with the apparatus concerning audio data;
- and
- present a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to enable the first device to, based on information pertaining to user location, determine devices to actuate for the devices to participate in communication concerning audio data.
A method, comprising:
- receiving information at a device pertaining to a location of a user;
- determining, based at least in part on the information, an apparatus to actuate from among plural apparatuses to participate in communication with using the device and concerning audio data;
- using, based at least in part on the determination, the device to participate in communication with the apparatus concerning audio data;
- and
- presenting a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to enable the device to, based on information pertaining to user location, determine apparatuses to actuate for the apparatuses to participate in communication with the device concerning audio data.
A computer readable storage medium that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive first data pertaining to a location of a user;
- based on the first data, identify a device at which to present audio;
- provide audio data to the device based on the identification of the device;
- present a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to enable the at least one processor to, based on information pertaining to user location, determine devices to actuate for the devices to participate in communication concerning audio data.
