Google Assistant will use more than one device to decipher the voice commands

I think siri already has this feature. I am not sure but Siri can differentiate the devices without telling about a device.

Can you give me example. I never noticed this but then again, I haven't used Siri as much.

If I have my iPad and iPhone in front of me, both with "Hey Siri" activation turned on, both will register that I asked. But only one of them will respond 'verbally'.

I'm not sure if that's what the OP meant, though.

This already exists for Google Assistant devices, but is not what the article is talking about.

The article implies that it will fuse voice data from multiple devices which both only heard part of the query into a single query, which is a lot easier to write down in a patent than to actually make work.

Oh yes, that could be a case. Pretty impressive though.
