Abstract

A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor, to determine a context of the computing device, the context including an indication of at least one of an application executing at the computing device and a location of the computing device and determine, based at least in part on the context, one or more contextual audio triggers usable to initiate interaction with the computing device, each of the one or more contextual audio triggers being associated with a respective operation of the computing device. The at least one module is further operable to receive audio data, and responsive to determining that a portion of the audio data corresponds to a particular contextual audio trigger from the one or more contextual audio triggers, perform the respective operation associated with the particular contextual audio trigger.
