Claim 25:
26. The first AED of claim 17, wherein:
the group hotword assigned to the selected group of AEDs comprises a proximity-based hotword addressing only a subset of one or more AEDs from the selected group of AEDs that are currently closest in proximity to the user without explicitly identifying any particular AED in the subset of the one or more AEDs;
the hotword detection model is pre-trained to detect the presence of the group hotword in streaming audio without performing speech recognition on the audio data; and
executing the collaboration routine causes the first AED and each other AED in the selected group of AEDs to each determine a respective proximity value relative to the user and perform arbitration using the respective proximity values across the selected group of AEDs to elect the subset of the one or more AEDs to fulfill performance of the operation specified by the query.
