  • SIGNAL DETECTION SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED MICROPHONE-CONTROLLABLE DEVICE SECURITY
    Publication number: 20220397514
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a photoacoustic light signal to prevent unauthorized voice commands for a microphone-controllable device are provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a signal, detecting, by the processor, that the signal is a photoacoustic signal generated by a thermal expansion and contraction of an object caused by at least one lightwave applied to the object, and activating, by the processor, a counter-measure to prevent the photoacoustic signal from reaching a microphone of a microphone-controllable device in response to detecting the photoacoustic signal.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 22, 2022
    Publication date: December 15, 2022
    Inventors: Gary Brian Temerowski, II, Lauren Savage, Jami Carter Brooks Daly, Joshua West, Martin Patrick McEnroe
