  • receiving, with an audio capture device, audio input, wherein the audio capture device comprises a microphone in an always ON state;

    identifying, with one or more processors, whether a device command is present in the audio input;

    determining, with a voice interface engine, an identity of a user from the audio input;

    detecting, with one or more sensors, one or more multi-modal social cues from an environment about the electronic device;

    where the device command is present in the audio input, corroborating, from the one or more multi-modal social cues, that the device command is intended for the electronic device; and

    executing, with the one or more processors, a control operation in response to the device command only where the user is identified as an owner of the electronic device and corroboration from the one or more multi-modal social cues confirms that the device command is intended for the electronic device.
