Systems and methods for filtering unwanted sounds from a conference call

A method comprising:

• capturing a voice signal, by a device, during a communication session;
• determining that the voice signal includes a voice of a first user and a voice of a second user, wherein the second user is different from the first user;
• determining, using a first voice profile of the first user, portions of the voice signal spoken by the first user;
• determining, using a second voice profile of the second user, portions of the voice signal spoken by the second user;
• identifying a subject of the communication session;
• in response to determining:
• (a) that the first user is familiar with the subject of the communication session, and (b) that the second user is not familiar with the subject of the communication session:
• transmitting into the communication session the portions of the voice signal spoken by the first user while preventing transmission into the communication session of the portions of the voice signal spoken by the second user.

A system comprising:

• input/output circuitry;
• audio input circuitry configured to capture a voice signal, by a device, during a communication session;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• determine that the voice signal includes a voice of a first user and a voice of a second user, wherein the second user is different from the first user;
• determine, using a first voice profile of the first user, portions of the voice signal spoken by the first user;
• determine, using a second voice profile of the second user, portions of the voice signal spoken by the second user;
• identify a subject of the communication session;
• and
• wherein the input/output circuitry is configured to:
• in response to determining, via the control circuitry:
• (a) that the first user is familiar with the subject of the communication session, and (b) that the second user is not familiar with the subject of the communication session:
• transmit, into the communication session, the portions of the voice signal spoken by the first user while preventing transmission into the communication session of the portions of the voice signal spoken by the second user.
