Provide output reponsive to proximate user input
One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, voice input; determining, using at least one sensor associated with the information handling device, whether the voice input comprises voice input provided proximate to the information handling device; and providing, based on determining that the voice input is provided proximate to the information handling device, output responsive to the voice input. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at an information handling device, voice input comprising a command;
identifying, using a processor, a direction from which the voice input was received;
determining, by at least accessing a data store comprising known locations for at least one other sound-producing device, whether the direction corresponds to a known location of the at least one other sound-producing device, wherein the determining comprises determining the known location via dynamically communicating with the at least one other sound-producing device;
providing, responsive to determining that the direction corresponds to the known location, a clarification query;
monitoring, subsequent to the providing, for a confirmation input; and
providing, responsive to receiving the confirmation input within a predetermined time threshold, output responsive to the command.
2. An information handling device, comprising:
at least one sensor;
a processor;
a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
receive voice input comprising a command;
identify a direction from which the voice input was received;
determine, and by at least accessing a data store comprising known locations for at least one other sound-producing device, whether the direction corresponds to a known location of the at least one other sound-producing device, wherein the determining comprises determining the known location via dynamically communicating with the at least one other sound-producing device;
provide, responsive to determining that the direction corresponds to the known location, a clarification query;
monitor, subsequent to the providing, for a confirmation input; and
provide, responsive to receiving the confirmation input within a predetermined time threshold, output responsive to the command.
3. A product, comprising:
a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
code that receives voice input comprising a command;
code that identifies a direction from which the voice input was received;
code that determines, by at least accessing a data store comprising known locations for at least one other sound-producing device, whether the direction corresponds to a known location of the at least one other sound-producing device; wherein the determining comprises determining the known location via dynamically communicating with the at least one other sound-producing device;
code that provides, responsive to determining that the direction corresponds to the known location, a clarification query;
code that monitors, subsequent to the providing, for a confirmation input; and
code that provides, responsive to receiving the confirmation input within a predetermined time threshold, output responsive to the command.
