Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at a device, input; processing, using a processor, the input to identify at least one user command; identifying, using a processor, a characteristic related to the at least one user command; and performing an action based on the at least one command and the characteristic. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a device, input;

processing, using a processor, the input to identify at least one user command;

identifying, using a processor, a characteristic related to the at least one user command;

modifying the at least one user command based on the characteristic; and

performing an action based on the modified at least one command.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the input is voice input.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

detecting, based on the voice input, a voice signature associated with a particular user, wherein the characteristic is based on the particular user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is based on historical user data.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the historical user input comprises at least one previously entered command, and

wherein the performing comprises performing an action based on the previously entered command.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the historical user data is stored in a location selected from the group consisting of:

locally and remotely.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising modifying, based on the characteristic, the at least one user command;

wherein the at least one modified command comprises the at least one user command and at least one additional voice command added to the at least one user command.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is based on a time of day.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is based on environmental factors.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is based on location.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

an input device;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to;

receive, at the input device, input;

process, using a processor, the input to identify at least one user command;

identify, using a processor, a characteristic related to the at least one user command;

modify the at least one user command based on the characteristic; and

perform an action based on the modified at least one command.

12. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the input is voice input.

13. The information handling device of claim 12, further comprising:

detecting, based on the voice input, a voice signature associated with a particular user, wherein the characteristic is based on the particular user.

14. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the characteristic is based on historical user data.

15. The information handling device of claim 14, wherein the historical user input comprises at least one previously entered command, and

wherein the performing comprises performing an action based on the previously entered command.

16. The information handling device of claim 11, further comprising modifying, based on the characteristic, the at least one user command;

wherein the at least one modified command comprises the at least one user command and at least one additional voice command added to the at least one user command.

17. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the characteristic is based on a time of day.

18. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the characteristic is based on environmental factors.

19. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the characteristic is based on location.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising;

code that receives, at a device, input;

code that processes the input to identify at least one user command;

code that identifies a characteristic related to the at least one user command;

code that modifies the at least one user command based on the characteristic; and

code that performs an action based on the modified at least one command and the characteristic.
