Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses are described for monitoring of one or more A/V collection devices within a premises. Based on the monitoring, one or more computing devices may determine whether to route or block a data transmission outside a premises. The data transmission may be routed or blocked based on, for example, one or more of the following: whether a transmission window associated with an A/V collection device is open or closed; whether the data transmission is being sent to an authorized destination device; whether the data transmission is encrypted, and the like.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first computing device;
- and
- a second computing device;
- wherein the first computing device comprises:
- one or more first processors, and
- first memory storing first executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first computing device to:
- receive, from the second computing device, an indication that a trigger word or phrase has occurred, wherein the trigger word or phrase is associated with a third computing device;
- store, based on the indication that the trigger word or phrase has occurred, an indication that a communication window associated with the third computing device is open;
- receive, from the third computing device, a first data communication;
- and
- route, based on the indication that the communication window associated with the third computing device is open, the first data communication;
- and
- wherein the second computing device comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- second memory storing second executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to:
- receive audio data;
- determine, based on the audio data, the indication that the trigger word or phrase occurred;
- and
- send, to the first computing device, the indication that the trigger word or phrase occurred.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device and from a second computing device, an indication that a trigger word or phrase has occurred, wherein the trigger word or phrase is associated with a third computing device;
- storing, based on the indication that the trigger word or phrase has occurred, an indication that a communication window associated with the third computing device is open;
- receiving, from the third computing device, a first data communication;
- and
- routing, based on the indication that the communication window associated with the third computing device is open, the first data communication.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device and from a second computing device, an indication that a trigger word or phrase has occurred, wherein the trigger word or phrase is associated with a third computing device;
- storing, based on the indication that the trigger word or phrase has occurred, an indication that a communication window associated with the third computing device is open;
- receiving, by the first computing device and from the third computing device, a first data communication;
- routing, based on the indication that the communication window associated with the third computing device is open, the first data communication;
- receiving, by the first computing device and from a fourth computing device, a second data communication;
- and
- blocking, based on an indication that a communication window associated with the fourth computing device is closed, the second data communication.
