Abstract
A method and system of controlling a digital assistant with dynamically switchable endpoint devices, comprising: dynamically selecting a respective input endpoint device and a respective controlled device for each of a plurality of voice-based requests from a user to the computing system, including: at a first point in time, acquiring respective instances of a first voice input from a first set of two or more input endpoint devices; obtaining a representative copy of the first voice input based on the respective instances of the first voice input that have been acquired from the first set of two or more input endpoint devices; determining a first actionable intent based on the representative copy of the first voice input; and dispatching a first encoded instruction to a first controlled endpoint device selected from the plurality of controlled endpoint devices in accordance with the first actionable intent.
