Abstract
An intelligent voice assistant privacy regulating system may include a controller including: a device processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps: receiving a selection from a user as to one or more privacy settings limiting the transmission of data from an intelligent voice assistant; and regulating transmissions from the intelligent voice assistant based on the selection.
Claims17
An intelligent voice assistant privacy regulating system, comprising:
- a controller including a device processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps:
- receiving a selection from a user as to one or more privacy settings limiting transmission of data from an intelligent voice assistant to the Internet based on one or more privacy parameters;
- and
- regulating transmissions by selectively preventing transmission of certain data from the intelligent voice assistant to the Internet based on the selection;
- wherein the controller is provided in a separate device from a wireless router configured to transmit data from the intelligent voice assistant, and is configured to provide instructions to the wireless router to regulate transmission of data from the intelligent voice assistant to the Internet;
- wherein at least one of the selectable privacy settings regulates transmissions from the intelligent voice assistant based on at least one of the following:
- one or more time intervals;
- a location of the intelligent voice assistant within a household;
- the presence of certain persons;
