CONTEXT-BASED DEACTIVATION OF A RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013781 titled 'CONTEXT-BASED DEACTIVATION OF A RECORDING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a recording device that can deactivate its audio recording or audio processing functions based on a settings configuration. The device can obtain audio content to identify audio prompts for performing actions, detect deactivation events, and refrain from obtaining audio content until an activation event is detected. It can then obtain audio content based on the activation event.
- The recording device can deactivate its audio recording or audio processing functions based on a settings configuration.
- It obtains audio content to identify audio prompts associated with causing the device to perform actions.
- The device can detect deactivation events.
- It refrains from obtaining audio content when a deactivation event is detected.
- The device resumes obtaining audio content when an activation event is detected.
Potential Applications:
- Security systems that activate or deactivate audio recording based on specific events or conditions.
- Voice-controlled devices that temporarily pause audio recording during sensitive conversations or private moments.
- Smart home devices that adjust audio processing based on user preferences or environmental conditions.
Problems Solved:
- Prevents unnecessary audio recording or processing when it is not desired or appropriate.
- Protects privacy by allowing users to control when audio recording or processing is active.
- Reduces storage and processing requirements by selectively obtaining audio content.
Benefits:
- Enhanced privacy and control over audio recording and processing.
- Improved efficiency by avoiding unnecessary audio recording or processing.
- Customizable audio prompts for performing actions based on user preferences.
- Reduced storage and processing requirements for the recording device.
Original Abstract Submitted
in some implementations, a recording device may obtain a settings configuration associated with deactivating an audio recording function or an audio processing function of the recording device, wherein the settings configuration indicates one or more deactivation events. the recording device may obtain first audio content associated with the recording device for identifying audio prompts associated with causing the recording device to perform one or more actions. the recording device may detect a deactivation event of the one or more deactivation events. the recording device may refrain from obtaining audio content based on detecting the deactivation event and until an activation event is detected. the recording device may obtain second audio content associated with the recording device based on detecting the activation event.
