Abstract
Techniques for enabling entities to provide a system with data representing specific relationships of various endpoint devices for the purpose of responding to user inputs are described. A system may include an application program interface (API) that enables an entity to provide the system with data describing related endpoint devices, as well as data representing terminology that a user may use to refer to a specific endpoint device. After the system receives such data, when a user associates an endpoint device with their user profile, the system can associate that endpoint device with various other endpoint devices based on data previously received from an entity. When the system receives a user input, the system may traverse endpoint device relationships, represented in a user profile, to determine an endpoint device that should be invoked to respond to the user input.
