Abstract
A system and method for controlling media systems identified as co-located with one or more voice-command responsive devices. The disclosed technology is responsive to predetermined activation and/or deactivation phrases so as to control the audio output of the identified media systems and provide an improved sonic environment for a voice command to be properly received and interpreted by the voice-command responsive device(s). The activation phrase for the disclosed system and method can be the same one utilized by the co-located voice-command responsive devices, thereby providing a user with an intuitive and substantially immediate means of improving the sonic environment prior to issuing one or more voice commands.
