PROXIMITY-BASED CONTROLS ON A SECOND DEVICE

Abstract

A method (500) includes obtaining proximity information (250) for each of a plurality of assistant-enabled devices (210) within an environment (32) of a user device (200). Each assistant-enabled device is controllable by an assistant application (106) to perform a respective set of available actions (120) associated with the assistant-enabled device. For each assistant-enabled device, the method also includes determining a proximity score (260) based on the proximity information indicating a proximity estimation of the corresponding assistant-enabled device relative to the user device. The method further includes generating, using the proximity scores determined for the assistant-enabled devices, a ranked list (310) of candidate assistant-enabled devices, and for each corresponding assistant-enabled device in the ranked list, displaying, in a graphical user interface (GUI) (400), a respective set of controls (220) for performing the respective set of actions associated with the corresponding assistant-enabled device.
