Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enabling the protection of user privacy when adding a virtual assistant to a conference. A conference is initiated between a first computing device and at least a second computing device and a virtual assistant is added to the conference. At the virtual assistant, it is identified that the virtual assistant is in the conference and a guest mode is activated in response. A query is received at the virtual assistant and based on the query and the guest mode, an action is identified. The identified action is performed via the virtual assistant.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- initiating, between a first computing device and at least a second computing device, a conference;
- adding, to the conference, a virtual assistant;
- identifying, at the virtual assistant, that the virtual assistant is in the conference;
- in response to identifying that the virtual assistant is in the conference, activating, at the virtual assistant, a guest mode, wherein the guest mode prevents access by the virtual assistant to personal information associated with at least the first computing device or the second computing device;
- receiving, at the virtual assistant, a query;
- identifying, based on the query and the guest mode, an action;
- and
- performing, via the virtual assistant, the identified action.
A system comprising:
- a communication port;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- control circuitry communicably coupled to the memory and the communication port and configured to execute instructions to:
- initiate, between a first computing device and at least a second computing device and via the communication port, a conference;
- add, to the conference, a virtual assistant;
- identify, at the virtual assistant, that the virtual assistant is in the conference;
- in response to identifying that the virtual assistant is in the conference, activate, at the virtual assistant, a guest mode, wherein the guest mode prevents access by the virtual assistant to personal information associated with at least the first computing device or the second computing device;
- receive, at the virtual assistant, a query;
- identify, based on the query and the guest mode, an action;
- and
- perform, via the virtual assistant, the identified action.
