Abstract
A system and method for the management of multiple digital assistants enabling the collection and analysis of voice commands and the selective instruction of the digital assistant having the most appropriate capability and/or connectivity to respond to the analyzed voice command. In a preferred embodiment the digital assistants are networked via a DAC. The controller serves to as a central node programmed to recognize the voice commands received by networked digital assistants and determine which assistant or assistants are best qualified to respond. This determination is a function of the command type, as well as the location and capabilities of each digital assistant. In addition, the system and method enhance the utility of the digital assistants, enabling a voice command received by a particular digital assistant to be acted upon by one or more digital assistants located outside of the audible range of the spoken voice command.
