Abstract
Human voice activity in proximity to a printing device is detected. Printing of the print job is based on the detected human voice activity. For instance, starting of print job printing can be based on the detected human voice activity. Controlling of print job printing after printing has started can also be based on the detected human voice activity.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- responsive to an instruction to print a print job using a printing device, detecting human voice activity in proximity to the printing device using a sound detection device associated with the printing device;
- and
- in response to no human voice activity detected in proximity to the printing device, starting printing of the print job, using the printing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing program instructions executable by a printing device to:
- start printing a print job using the printing device;
- while the print job is being printed, detect human voice activity in proximity to the printing device using a sound detection device associated with the printing device;
- determining an identity of each user whose voice is present within the human voice activity detected in proximity to the printing device;
- and
- pausing printing of the print job, based on the determined identity of each user whose voice is present within the human voice activity.
2 more elements
A printing device comprising:
- a print engine to print a print job;
- a sound detection device to detect human voice activity in proximity to the printing device;
- and
- hardware logic to one or more of:
- start printing the print job based on the detected human voice activity;
- control printing of the print job based on the detected human voice activity after printing of the print job has been started, by pausing printing of the print job based on one or more of:
- whether any human voice activity is detected in proximity to the printing;
- a determined number of unique voices within the detected human voice activity;
- determined identities of users whose voices are present within the detected human voice activity.
