Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for automatically selecting a mute function based on audio content. One example method includes receiving, at a first computing device, a first audio input and, from a second computing device, a second audio input. Content of the first audio input and the second audio input is determined with natural language processing. Whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input is determined. A mute function is operated at the first computing device, based on the determination of whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input.
Claims13
A method for automatically selecting a mute function based on audio content, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing device, a first audio input and, from a second computing device, a second audio input;
- recording the first audio input;
- determining, with natural language processing, content of the first audio input and content of the second audio input;
- determining whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input;
- determining whether a mute function of the first computing device is turned on;
- and
- in response to determining that the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input and that the mute function of the first computing device is turned on:
- identifying a portion of the recorded first audio input based on the determination of whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input;
- transmitting the identified portion of the recorded first audio input to the second computing device;
- and
- turning off the mute function at the first computing device.
A system for automatically selecting a mute function based on audio content, the system comprising:
- a communication port;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- receive, at a first computing device, a first audio input and, from a second computing device, a second audio input;
- record the first audio input;
- determine, with natural language processing, content of the first audio input and content of the second audio input;
- determine whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input;
- determine whether a mute function of the first computing device is turned on;
- and
- in response to determining that the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input and that the mute function of the first computing device is turned on:
- identify a portion of the recorded first audio input based on the determination of whether the content of the first audio input corresponds to the content of the second audio input;
- transmit the identified portion of the recorded first audio input to the second computing device;
- and
- turn off the mute function at the first computing device.
