Systems and methods of an intelligent whisper
The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods of managing a whisper, the methods including: establishing a communication session; receiving a whisper request to provide the whisper to a first device associated with the communication session; retrieving environmental information; comparing the environment information to a rule; configuring the whisper based on the comparison; and providing the whisper based on the comparison.
1. A method of managing a whisper, the method comprising:
establishing a communication session;
receiving a whisper request from a second device to provide the whisper to a first device associated with the communication session;
retrieving environmental information;
comparing the environmental information to a rule;
configuring the whisper based on the comparison;
providing the whisper based on the comparison;
changing a modality of the whisper in real time based on comparing the environmental information to the rule,
wherein the modality of the whisper includes a verbal whisper or a textual whisper and
wherein a user of the first device consents to a request sent at a same time as the whisper request to obtain the environmental information from a sensor associated with the first device; and
detecting a privacy level of the user in the environmental information,
wherein the configuring the whisper is based on the privacy level detected from the environmental information and a level of importance associated with the whisper.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule is a privacy requirement for an environmental surrounding at the first device at a time of delivery of the whisper.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first device is participating in the communication session.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the privacy requirement defines a privacy level of the environmental surrounding, wherein the retrieving the environmental information determines a privacy level of the environmental surrounding, and wherein the comparing comprises comparing the privacy requirement with the privacy level.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modality of the whisper changes based further on the level of importance.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device is associated with the user, wherein the configuring the whisper comprises determining that the whisper should be provided to a third device that is also associated with the user, and wherein the providing the whisper comprises providing the whisper to the third device.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the environmental information to a threshold, wherein the rule comprises the threshold, and wherein the threshold is based on a profile setting of the user.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the environmental information from the sensor includes levels of noise recorded.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the environmental information from the sensor includes a threshold number of voice patterns besides a voice pattern of the user.
10. A system for managing a whisper, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
establish a communication session;
receive a whisper request from a second device to provide the whisper to a first device associated with the communication session;
retrieve environmental information;
compare the environmental information to a rule;
configure the whisper based on the comparison;
provide the whisper based on the comparison;
change a modality of the whisper in real time based on comparing the environmental information to the rule,
wherein the modality of the whisper includes a verbal whisper or a textual whisper and
wherein a user of the first device consents to a request sent at a same time as the whisper request to obtain the environmental information from a sensor associated with the first device; and
detect a privacy level of the user in the environmental information,
wherein the configuring the whisper is based on the privacy level detected from the environmental information and a level of importance associated with the whisper.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the rule is a privacy requirement for an environmental surrounding at the first device at a time of delivery of the whisper.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first device is participating in the communication session, wherein the privacy requirement defines a privacy level of the environmental surrounding, wherein the retrieving the environmental information determines a privacy level of the environmental surrounding, and wherein the comparing comprises comparing the privacy requirement with the privacy level.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein a device that the whisper is provided to changes based on the comparing.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the sensor uses at least two of: an audio analysis, an image analysis, and a determination of locations of at least two devices.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the modality of the whisper changes based further on the level of importance.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first device is associated with the user, wherein the configuring the whisper comprises determining that the whisper should be provided to a third device that is also associated with the user, and wherein the providing the whisper comprises providing the whisper to the third device.
17. The system of claim 10 , further comprising comparing the environmental information to a threshold, wherein the rule comprises the threshold.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the environmental information from the sensor includes levels of noise recorded.
19. The system of claim 10 , wherein the environmental information from the sensor includes a threshold number of voice patterns besides a voice pattern of the user.
20. A computer program product for managing a whisper, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code configured, when executed by a processor, to:
establish a communication session;
receive a whisper request from a second device to provide the whisper to a device associated with the communication session;
retrieve environmental information;
compare the environmental information to a rule;
configure the whisper based on the comparison;
provide the whisper based on the comparison;
change a modality of the whisper in real time based on comparing the environmental information to the rule,
wherein the modality of the whisper includes a verbal whisper or a textual whisper and
wherein a user of the first device consents to a request sent at a same time as the whisper request to obtain the environmental information from a sensor associated with the first device; and
detect a privacy level of the user in the environmental information,
wherein the configuring the whisper is based on the privacy level detected from the environmental information and a level of importance associated with the whisper.
