Abstract

One of the popular trends in the human-machine interface is voice activation, and it is going beyond voice assistants (VAs) like Amazon Echo and Google Home. The latest smart TVs from Samsung and Honeywell's thermostat include a voice interface to understand voice commands for hands-free operations. However, while leading toward the smart home future, misactivations can also happen when multiple VAs share the same space. Such misactivations lead to the unintended uploading of sensitive user data. Thus, it is critical for voice-enabled devices to sense their physical surroundings and better understand the context in which they should interact.
