Apple is continuing to refine a system for sharing information and context between devices with Siri, allowing for more nuanced and location-aware voice commands.
The Cupertino tech giant on Tuesday was granted a patent for “Digital assistant hardware abstraction,” which relates to intelligent context sharing and task performance across a group of devices with intelligent assistant capabilities.
