Abstract
The present technology provides a system that enables a user to communicate with one of multiple devices in a network based on context information from another device in the network. The system includes a context manager configured to (1) receive context information from the multiple devices; (2) identify a subject-of-interest based on a user input; (3) determine a set of relevant context information based on the subject-of-interest and the received context information; and (4) transmitting the set of relevant context information to a target device to perform a task associated with the subject-of-interest. The context information managed by the present technology enables a user to conveniently interact with the multiple devices in the network without requiring the user to provide details of his/her instructions.
