NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL OF AUDIO CAPTURE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015155 titled 'NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL OF AUDIO CAPTURE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a system where a voice-controlled device can be blocked from accessing a network. Another computing device can receive audio data containing a voice command to control the voice-controlled device. If a trigger condition is detected to unblock network access, the computing device can send data to a network device to unblock the network access. However, the network access can be blocked again if a triggering condition for blocking network access is met.
- Voice-controlled device can be blocked from accessing a network
- Computing device can receive voice commands to control the voice-controlled device
- Trigger conditions can unblock or block network access
- Data can be sent to a network device to unblock network access
- Network access can be blocked again if triggering conditions are met
Potential Applications:
- Home automation systems
- Voice-controlled assistants
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved:
- Prevent unauthorized access to a network by voice-controlled devices
- Enhance security and control over network access
- Enable efficient management of network access for voice-controlled devices
Benefits:
- Improved security and privacy for voice-controlled devices
- Enhanced control and management of network access
- Simplified setup and configuration of voice-controlled devices
Original Abstract Submitted
a voice controlled device may be blocked from accessing a network. another computing device may receive audio data comprising a voice command associated with controlling the voice controlled device. if a trigger condition for unblocking network access is detected, the computing device may send data to a network device to cause the network device to unblock network access. the network access may be blocked again if a triggering condition for blocking network access is satisfied.
