  • Publication number: 20230282181
    Abstract: A computing system includes a storage device and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain an image frame that comprises a plurality of pixels that form a pixel array. Additionally, the processing circuitry is configured to determine that a region of the image frame belongs to a trigger content type. Based on determining that the region of the image frame belongs to the trigger content type, the processing circuitry is configured to modify the region of the image frame to adjust a luminance of pixels of the region of the image frame based on part on an ambient light level in a viewing area of the user; and output, for display by a display device in the viewing area of the user, a version of the image frame that contains the modified region.

  • Publication number: 20230269291
    Abstract: An example method includes obtaining first audio data representing one or more initial utterances during an interactive voice session with an interactive voice system (IVS); generating, based on the first audio data, a prediction regarding whether a subsequent utterance of the user in the interactive voice session will contain sensitive information; obtaining second audio data representing the subsequent utterance; determining, based on the prediction, whether to transmit the second audio data to the IVS via a first communication channel; based on a determination not to transmit the second audio data to the IVS via the first communication channel: transmitting third audio data to the IVS via the first communication channel in place of the second audio data; and transmitting the second audio data to a server via a second communication channel that bypasses the IVS.

  • Patent number: 11734462
    Abstract: An example method comprises determining, by a computing system, that a message-sending computing device has received an indication of user input indicating an intent to send a message to a user of a message-recipient computing device; prior to the message being delivered to the message-recipient computing device, calculating, by the computing system, a screen sharing risk score (SSRS) that indicates a risk that the message-recipient computing device is currently sharing screen content of a screen of the message-recipient computing device with a screen-recipient computing device associated with an untrusted screen-recipient user; and based on the SSRS indicating that the risk is above a risk threshold, causing the message-sending computing device to output an alert indicating that the message-recipient computing device is possibly sharing the screen content of the message-recipient computing device with the screen-recipient computing device associated with the untrusted screen-recipient user.
