Abstract
A computing device may be configured to receive an audio segment and to determine whether the audio segment comprises one or more classification markers. The classification marker may be encoded in high-frequency sounds. One or more setting may be associated with the classification marker (e.g., objectionable, confusing, traumatic, dangerous, etc.). The computing device may be configured to, based on the one or more settings, perform an action (e.g., suppress the audio segment, provide a visual indicator, customized response, reducing volume, noise cancellation).
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a microphone of a computing device, audio output by an output device;
- determining that the audio comprises an indication that a portion of the audio comprises a classified sound;
- and
- causing output, based on the indication that the portion of the audio comprises the classified sound and a user setting associated with the classified sound and made prior to receiving the audio, of an alert indicating that the classified sound will be output during output of the audio by the output device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving, by a microphone of a computing device, audio output by an output device;
- determining that the audio comprises an indication that a portion of the audio comprises a classified sound;
- and
- causing output, based on the indication that the portion of the audio comprises the classified sound and a user setting associated with the classified sound and made prior to receiving the audio, of an alert indicating that the classified sound will be output during output of the audio by the output device.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer device to:
- receive, by a microphone of the computing device, audio output by an output device;
- determine that the audio comprises an indication that a portion of the audio comprises a classified sound;
- and
- cause output, based on the indication that the portion of the audio comprises the classified sound and a user setting associated with the classified sound and made prior to receiving the audio, of an alert indicating that the classified sound will be output during output of the audio by the output device.
A system comprising:
- an output device configured to output audio;
- and
- a computing device configured to:
- receive, by a microphone of the computing device, the audio output by the output device;
- determine that the audio comprises an indication that a portion of the audio comprises a classified sound;
- and
- cause output, based on the indication that the portion of the audio comprises the classified sound and a user setting associated with the classified sound and made prior to receiving the audio, of an alert indicating that the classified sound will be output during output of the audio by the output device.
