Abstract
A personal assistant operation is provided for teaching a personal assistant device names preferred by the user for sensor activated devices. For this purpose, a method includes the personal assistant device receiving a request from a user to activate a requested device which the user has identified with a requested name which is unrecognized by the personal assistant device, determining a most likely candidate device from a list of candidate devices to activate in response to the request, activating the determined most likely candidate device, and identifying and saving the requested name as the name of the most likely candidate device in response to receiving confirmation from the user that the determined most likely candidate device is the requested device.
