Abstract: Personal electronic devices are organized into a personal electronic device network. One of the personal electronic devices is designated as a device management hub. Based on contextual information from the personal electronic device network, a current activity of a user is predicted, and based on the predicted current user activity and the contextual information, one or more hierarchy is cognitively derived. The device management hub uses one of the hierarchy to contextually assign user input to one of the personal electronic devices for processing. Cognitively predicting the current user activity can include analyzing, by the device management hub, contextual information from the personal electronic devices.
