Abstract
A first electronic device of a local group of connected electronic devices receives a first voice command including a request for a first operation, assigns a first target device from among a local group of connected electronic devices as an in-focus device for performing the first operation, causes the first operation to be performed by the first target device via operation of a server-implemented common network service, receives a second voice command including a request for a second operation, and based on a determination that the second voice command does not include an explicit designation of a second target device and a determination that the second operation can be performed by the first target device, assigning the first target device as the in-focus device for performing the second operation.
