Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a computing device;
a peripheral assistant control device that is in communication with the computing device via a wireless communication channel, wherein the peripheral assistant control device includes a touch interface, and wherein the peripheral assistant control device transmits, to the computing device and via the wireless communication channel, interaction data responsive to a touch input at the touch interface;
wherein the computing device includes one or more processors configured to execute instructions to:
assign a first automated assistant function and a second automated assistant function to the peripheral assistant control device in response to one or more spoken utterances that identify only the first automated assistant function;
receive the interaction data via the wireless communication channel;
determine a current operating state of an application controlled by the computing device;
in response to receiving the interaction data:
select, based on the current operating state and from among at least the first automated assistant function and the second automated assistant function, a particular function, wherein in selecting the current operating state one or more of the processors are to:
select the first automated assistant function as the particular function when the current operating state is a first state, and
select the second automated assistant function as the particular function when the current operating state is a second state that is distinct from the first state; and

cause an automated assistant, accessible via the computing device, to execute the particular function.
