Abstract
Techniques for causing different devices to perform different operations using a single voice command are described herein. In some instances, a user may define a 'scene', in which a user sets different devices to different states and then associates an utterance with those states or with the operations performed by the devices to reach those states. For instance, a user may dim a light, turn on his television, and turn on his set-top box before sending a request to a local device or to a remote service to associate those settings with a predefined utterance, such as 'my movie scene'. Thereafter, the user may cause the light to dim, the television to turn on, and the set-top box to turn on simply by issuing the voice command “execute my movie scene”.
