Abstract
A secure audio firewall enclosure may detect an occurrence of a trigger event. The secure audio firewall enclosure may, responsive to detecting the occurrence of the trigger event, activate sound transmission measures of the secure audio firewall enclosure, wherein the sound transmission measures facilitate transmission of sound from an external environment of the secure audio firewall enclosure to an internal environment of the secure audio firewall enclosure.
Claims20
A method for operating a secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, wherein the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure is configured with sound mitigation measures to suppress transmission of sound from an external environment outside of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure to an internal environment within the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, the method comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of a trigger event;
- and
- responsive to detecting the occurrence of the trigger event, activating sound transmission measures of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, wherein the sound transmission measures facilitate transmission of the sound in the external environment to the internal environment.
A method for operating a secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, wherein the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure is configured with sound mitigation measures to suppress transmission of sound from an external environment outside of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure to an internal environment within the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, the method comprising:
- detecting an input to a user interface of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure;
- and
- responsive to detecting the input, activating sound transmission measures of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, wherein the sound transmission measures facilitate transmission of the sound in the external environment to the internal environment.
A secure acoustic sound-mitigating system configured to prevent a user computing device in an internal environment of a secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure from detecting content of sound originating from an external environment of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure comprising:
- walls forming an enclosure of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, the enclosure separating the internal environment from the external environment;
- an external microphone configured to record sound of the external environment;
- one or more hardware processors;
- and
- an activator executable by the one or more hardware processors and configured to activate, responsive to detecting an occurrence of a trigger event, sound transmission measures of the secure acoustic sound-mitigating enclosure, wherein the sound transmission measures facilitate transmission of the sound in the external environment to the internal environment.
