Abstract

Claims (64)

1. A computer-implemented method for managing a voice conversation, the method comprising:

receiving a set of user data associated with a voice conversation having one or more participating users;

analyzing the set of user data for voice content associated with the voice conversation and the one or more participating users;

determining, from the voice content, a security policy selectively defining spoken content permissions among the one or more participating users; and

dynamically executing one or more permission rules of the security policy to remove a portion of the voice content while broadcasting the voice conversation to an unauthorized participating user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying removing the portion of the voice content includes:

authorizing the portion of the voice content to be broadcast to an authorized participating user of the voice conversation.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an interactive environment associated with the one or more participating users of the voice conversation;

analyzing the security policy associated with the voice conversation; and

selecting subsets of the one or more participating users into groups, a first group having a different set of permissions than a second group.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing individual user data of the set of user data, the individual user data associated with a first participating user;

identifying ear canal attributes from the individual user data; and

authorizing the first participating user based on the ear canal attributes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more permission rules includes a set of user preferences.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing individual user data of the set of user data, the individual user data associated with a first participating user;

identifying ear canal attributes and vocal attributes from the individual user data;

combining the ear canal attributes and the vocal attributes to form a unique biometric component associated with the first participating user; and

authorizing the first participating user based on the unique biometric component.

7. A system, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a set of user data associated with a voice conversation having one or more participating users;

analyzing the set of user data for voice content associated with the voice conversation and the one or more participating users;

determining, from the voice content, a security policy selectively defining spoken content permissions among the one or more participating users; and

dynamically executing one or more permission rules of the security policy to remove a portion of the voice content while broadcasting the voice conversation to an unauthorized participating user.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein removing the portion of the voice content includes:

authorizing the portion of the voice content to be broadcast to an authorized participating user of the voice conversation.

9. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

generating an interactive environment associated with the one or more participating users of the voice conversation;

analyzing the security policy associated with the voice conversation; and

selecting subsets of the one or more participating users into groups, a first group having a different set of permissions than a second group.

10. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

analyzing individual user data of the set of user data, the individual user data associated with a first participating user;

identifying ear canal attributes from the individual user data; and

authorizing the first participating user based on the ear canal attributes.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more permission rules includes a set of user preferences.

12. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

analyzing individual user data of the set of user data, the individual user data associated with a first participating user;

identifying ear canal attributes and vocal attributes from the individual user data;

combining the ear canal attributes and the vocal attributes to form a unique biometric component associated with the first participating user; and

authorizing the first participating user based on the unique biometric component.

13. A computer-implemented method for managing a voice conversation, the method comprising:

receiving user data associated with a voice conversation including a plurality of participants;

analyzing the user data for voice context associated with the voice conversation and the plurality of participants;

determining, from the voice context, a security policy selectively defining spoken content permissions according to individual authorizations of the plurality of participants; and

dynamically executing a set of permission rules of the security policy to remove a portion of the voice content for transmission to unauthorized participants while broadcasting the portion of voice content to authorized participants.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating an interactive environment associated with the plurality of participants;

analyzing the security policy associated with the voice conversation; and

selecting subsets of the participants to participate in respectively corresponding groups, wherein a first group has a different set of permissions than a second group.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

analyzing individual portions of the user data, the individual portions associated with individual participants, including a first participant;

identifying ear canal based attributes of the first participant from the individual portions of the user data; and

authorizing, based on the set of permission rules, the first participant using the ear canal based attributes.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

analyzing individual portions of the user data, the individual portions associated with individual participants, including a first participant;

identifying ear canal based attributes and vocal attributes of the first participant from individual portions of the user data;

combining the ear canal based attributes and the vocal attributes to form a unique biometric component associated with the first participant; and

authorizing, based on the set of permission rules, the first participant using the unique biometric component.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

authorizing the authorized participants based on the voice context.
