Privacy enhancement apparatuses for use with voice-activated devices and assistants
11568873 · 2023-01-31 · ·

Devices for preventing unintended conversation from being recorded by a voice activated assistant device/application (VAD) are disclosed. The device is contoured to fit over a functional surface of a VAD that typically includes a plurality of microphones and control buttons. The device covers the microphones and uses its own microphones to monitor for an authorization input signal. In an embodiment, the devices uses speakers aligned with and opposing each VAD microphone. The device emits interfering audible signals during this mode of operation. Once the device senses an authorization input, the device decouples its speakers from the interfering audible signal and instead allows the device microphones to pass through to the VAD. During this mode, the VAD is in normal operation.
