Naming devices via voice commands
Techniques for naming devices via voice commands are described herein. For instance, a user may issue a voice command to a voice-controlled device stating, “you are the kitchen device”. Thereafter, the device may respond to voice commands directed, by name, to this device. For instance, the user may issue a voice command requesting to “play music on my kitchen device”. Given that the user has configured the device to respond to this name, the device may respond to the command by outputting the requested music.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
receiving an indication that an electronic device within an environment has connected with a wireless network;
determining that the electronic device has previously been associated with a functional identifier;
determining an applicability score indicating an applicability of the functional identifier of the electronic device; and
sending, to the electronic device, and based at least in part on the applicability score, an audio signal for output by the electronic device, the audio signal representing a query associated with the functional identifier of the electronic device.
2. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising receiving an identifier of the electronic device, and wherein the determining that the electronic device has previously been associated with the functional identifier comprises determining, using the identifier of the electronic device, that the electronic device has previously been associated with the functional identifier.
3. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising receiving, from the electronic device, an indication that that the electronic device is within range of a short-range wireless signal of at least one other device, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the indication that the electronic device is within range of the short-range wireless signal of the at least one other device.
4. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising receiving a name of the wireless network to which the electronic device has connected, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the name of the wireless network to which the electronic device has connected.
5. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sending the audio signal representing the query comprises sending the audio signal representing at least one of a first query regarding whether the electronic device is to be renamed or a second query suggesting a new functional identifier for the electronic device.
6. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the wireless network comprises a first wireless network, and the acts further comprising determining that the first wireless network is different than a second wireless network to which the electronic device was previously connected, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the determining that the first wireless network is different than the second wireless network.
7. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising:
receiving an identifier of the wireless network; and
determining that the electronic device has not previously connected to the wireless network.
8. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising determining that the applicability score does not exceed a threshold score, and wherein the sending the audio signal for output by the electronic device is based at least in part on the determining that the applicability score does not exceed the threshold score.
9. The system as recited in claim 1 , the acts further comprising determining that the applicability score exceeds a threshold score, and wherein the sending the audio signal for output by the electronic device is based at least in part on the determining that the applicability score does not exceed the threshold score.
10. A method comprising:
receiving an indication that an electronic device within an environment has connected with a wireless network;
determining that the electronic device has previously been associated with a functional identifier;
determining an applicability score indicating an applicability of the functional identifier of the electronic device; and
sending, to the electronic device, and based at least in part on the applicability score, an audio signal for output by the electronic device, the audio signal representing a query associated with the functional identifier of the electronic device.
11. The method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising receiving an identifier of the electronic device, and wherein the determining that the electronic device has previously been associated with the functional identifier comprises determining, using the identifier of the electronic device, that the electronic device has previously been associated with the functional identifier.
12. The method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising receiving, from the electronic device, an indication that that the electronic device is within range of a short-range wireless signal of at least one other device, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the indication that the electronic device is within range of the short-range wireless signal of the at least one other device.
13. The method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising receiving a name of the wireless network to which the electronic device has connected, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the name of the wireless network to which the electronic device has connected.
14. The method as recited in claim 10 , wherein the sending the audio signal representing the query comprises sending the audio signal representing at least one of a first query regarding whether the electronic device is to be renamed or a second query suggesting a new functional identifier for the electronic device.
15. The method as recited in claim 10 , wherein the wireless network comprises a first wireless network, and the method further comprises determining that the first wireless network is different than a second wireless network to which the electronic device was previously connected, and wherein the determining the applicability score comprises determining the applicability score indicating the applicability of the functional identifier based at least in part on the determining that the first wireless network is different than the second wireless network.
16. The method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving an identifier of the wireless network; and
determining that the electronic device has not previously connected to the wireless network.
