HANDS FREE DEVICE WITH DIRECTIONAL INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed, performs an operation comprising:
- detecting a user action requesting an interaction with a first device and originating from a source;
determining a direction in which the source is located, relative to a current position of the first device;
determining a response to the user action, based on a current state of the first device; and
outputting the determined response substantially in the determined direction in which the source is located.

Abstract
Embodiments provide a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed, performs an operation. The operation includes detecting a user action requesting an interaction with a first device and originating from a source. Additionally, embodiments determine a direction in which the source is located, relative to a current position of the first device. A response to the user action is also determined, based on a current state of the first device. Embodiments further include outputting the determined response substantially in the determined direction in which the source is located.
