13. A method comprising: receiving, by a server device, from a client device, and using a network, information based on a mode selection comprising one of an active mode or a passive mode; the client device selectively operating in the one of the active mode or the passive mode based on the mode selection, the one of the active mode or the passive mode being used to receive an instruction for performing a device action, the client device operating in the active mode prior to receiving the instruction for performing the device action, and when the mode selection identifies the active mode, the client device operating in the passive mode prior to receiving the instruction for performing the device action, and when the mode selection identifies the passive mode, when operated in the active mode, the client device being operable to interpret verbal information from a user input, and to control at least one device based on the verbal information interpreted from the user input, and when operated in the passive mode, the client device being operable to continuously listen for a user request, extract non-verbal information and verbal information from the user request, and to control the at least one device based on the non-verbal information and the verbal information extracted from the user request; receiving, by the server device and based on the client device selectively operating in the one of the active mode or the passive mode, information based on the mode selection and the instruction for performing the device action, the network being operable to provide communication between the client device, the server device, and a plurality of devices, each of the plurality of devices being capable of performing a device action based on receiving an instruction from the client device, the client device processing the mode selection of the active mode by performing a first set of communications, processing, by the server device, the mode selection of the active mode by performing a second set of communications, the client device processing the mode selection of the passive mode by performing a third set of communications, the third set of communications being different than the first set of communications, processing, by the server device, the mode selection of the passive mode by performing a fourth set of communications, the fourth set of communications being different than the second set of communications; and transmitting, by the server device and based on receiving the information regarding the mode selection and the instruction for performing the device action, response information to the client device, the response information being used by the client device to instruct a device, of the plurality of devices, to perform the device action.
13. A method comprising: receiving, by a server device, from a client device, and using a network, information based on a mode selection comprising one of an active mode or a passive mode; the client device selectively operating in the one of the active mode or the passive mode based on the mode selection, the one of the active mode or the passive mode being used to receive an instruction for performing a device action, the client device operating in the active mode prior to receiving the instruction for performing the device action, and when the mode selection identifies the active mode, the client device operating in the passive mode prior to receiving the instruction for performing the device action, and when the mode selection identifies the passive mode, when operated in the active mode, the client device being operable to interpret verbal information from a user input, and to control at least one device based on the verbal information interpreted from the user input, and when operated in the passive mode, the client device being operable to continuously listen for a user request, extract non-verbal information and verbal information from the user request, and to control the at least one device based on the non-verbal information and the verbal information extracted from the user request; receiving, by the server device and based on the client device selectively operating in the one of the active mode or the passive mode, information based on the mode selection and the instruction for performing the device action, the network being operable to provide communication between the client device, the server device, and a plurality of devices, each of the plurality of devices being capable of performing a device action based on receiving an instruction from the client device, the client device processing the mode selection of the active mode by performing a first set of communications, processing, by the server device, the mode selection of the active mode by performing a second set of communications, the client device processing the mode selection of the passive mode by performing a third set of communications, the third set of communications being different than the first set of communications, processing, by the server device, the mode selection of the passive mode by performing a fourth set of communications, the fourth set of communications being different than the second set of communications; and transmitting, by the server device and based on receiving the information regarding the mode selection and the instruction for performing the device action, response information to the client device, the response information being used by the client device to instruct a device, of the plurality of devices, to perform the device action. 14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: identifying, based on receiving the information based on the mode selection and the instruction for performing the device action, user information, the user information being identified based on speech information associated with the instruction for performing the device action.
