Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, comprising: receiving, at an information handling device, user input comprising a word that activates a digital assistant associated with the information handling device; determining, using a processor, whether the word comprises a false positive wake word, wherein the false positive wake word comprises a stored wake word; and responsive to determining that the word is associated with a false positive wake word, providing output associated with an alternative wake word. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, user input comprising a potential wake word; determining, using a processor, whether the potential wake word is associated with a stored wake word; and responsive to determining that the potential wake word is associated with the stored wake word, activating, based on the potential wake word, a digital assistant associated with the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, comprising: receiving, at an information handling device, user input comprising a word that activates a digital assistant associated with the information handling device; determining, using a processor, whether the word comprises a false positive wake word, wherein the false positive wake word comprises a stored wake word; and responsive to determining that the word is associated with a false positive wake word, providing output associated with an alternative wake word. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, device and computer program device are provided that are under control of one or more processors configured with executable instructions. The method receives a user instruction to perform an action, identifies context awareness information concerning an environment where the action is to be performed. The environment includes a plurality of candidate electronic devices. At least one of the candidate electronic devices provides digital personal assistant (DPA) functionality. The method groups a collection of one or more responsive electronic devices, from the plurality of candidate electronic devices, based on the context awareness information. The method communicates the instruction to the collection of one or more responsive electronic devices to coordinate the action by the collection of one or more responsive electronic devices.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to receive input indicating a destination and to determine whether at least a portion of a route to the destination will be driven using an autonomous vehicle function. The instructions are also executable to determine directions to the destination based on the determination of whether at least a portion of a route to the destination will be driven using an autonomous vehicle function, and to output the directions.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, device and computer program device are provided that are under the control of one or more processors having instructions. The method, device, and system identifies a communication event and a delivery attribute associated with the communication event, identifies electronic devices available to provide a notification alert, selects at least one of the electronic devices based on the delivery attribute, generates the notification alert based on the communication event, communicates the notification alert to the at least one of the electronic devices selected.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: engaging, at an information handling device, in a conversational session with a user; receiving, during the conversational session, a query input; determining, at the information handling device, whether the query input has been completed; and extending, responsive to determining that the query input has not been completed, the waiting time for receipt of the query input. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus for using a gesture to insert a character includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The executable code causes the processor to receive speech input from a user of an electronic device, convert the speech to text, receive a gesture from the user, associate the received gesture with a character and input the character into the text.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to begin an interactive session associated with a first context; receiving, during the interactive session, an indication to begin at least one other interactive session, wherein the at least one other interactive session is associated with another context; and performing, without ending the interactive session, at least one output function associated with the at least one other interactive session. Other aspects are described and claimed.
