Abstract
An electronic device includes an audio capture device, one or more physical sensors or context sensors, and one or more processors. A method of operating the electronic device includes receiving audio input, identifying a device command from the audio input, and detecting one or more multi-modal social cues from an environment about the electronic device. Where the one or more multi-modal social cues match one or more predefined criteria, the method executes a control operation in response to the device command.
