DEVICE DESIGNATION FOR AUDIO INPUT MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device of a plurality of computing devices each of which are associated with a user account and are located in physical proximity to one another, at least a portion of a spoken audio input, wherein the portion of the spoken audio input is also received by at least one other computing device from the plurality of computing devices;
determining, by the first computing device, whether the first computing device or a second computing device of the plurality of computing devices is a device designated to process the spoken audio input for a spoken audio command; and
responsive to determining that the first computing device is the device designated to process the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command, processing, by the first computing device, the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command.

Abstract
A computing device comprises at least one processor, and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to designate a particular computing device from a plurality of computing devices to process audio input, wherein the computing device comprises a first computing device from the plurality of computing devices. The at least one module may be further operable by the at least one processor to, if the particular computing device is not the first computing device, cease processing of audio input, and if the particular computing device is the first computing device, receive first audio input and process the first audio input to determine whether the first audio input includes a predetermined audio command.

16. A first computing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; receive at least a portion of a spoken audio input that is also received by at least one other computing device from a plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices includes the first computing device and a second computing device, and wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices are associated with a user account and are located in physical proximity to one another; determine whether the first computing device or the second computing device is a device designated to process the spoken audio input for a spoken audio command; and responsive to determining that the first computing device is the device designated to process the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command, process the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a first computing device to:
-
receive at least a portion of a spoken audio input that is also received by at least one other computing device from a plurality of computing devices, wherein the plurality of computing devices includes the first computing device and a second computing device, and wherein each computing device of the plurality of computing devices are associated with a user account and are located in physical proximity to one another; determine whether the first computing device or the second computing device is a device designated to process the spoken audio input for a spoken audio command; and responsive to determining that the first computing device is the device designated to process the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command, process the spoken audio input for the spoken audio command.
