Abstract
A system and method of receiving a voice command while a user is moving in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment comprising a plurality of virtual assistants (VAs) is provided. The method includes receiving a first audio uttered by a user at a first VA. The user's intention to speak more (ISM) is determined based on the user's breathing pattern. Furthermore, the method includes selecting a second VA to initiate listening to a second audio uttered by the user, based on detecting a movement of the user with respect to the plurality of VAs in the IoT environment. The method includes merging the first audio and the second audio to determine a voice command corresponding to the user's complete utterance, for execution within the IoT environment.
