1. A system comprising:
- one or more electronic devices integrated over a network, wherein the one or more electronic devices continuously collect audio from an environment;
wherein, when the system recognizes a trigger from the audio received by at least one of the one or more electronic devices, the received audio is processed to determine an action to be performed by the one or more electronic devices;
wherein the system operates without any physical interaction of a user with the one or more electronic devices to perform the action.

30. A system for hands-free communication between a first user and a second user, comprising:
-
a system of integrated electronic devices associated with the first user, the system continuously processing audio from the first user located in a first environment, wherein, when the system recognizes a trigger to open communication with the second user located in a second environment, a communication channel is activated between at least one of the integrated devices and a device of the second user to allow the first user to communicate with the second user; wherein the first user does not physically interact with any of the integrated electronic devices to establish the communication channel to communicate with the second user. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
