Abstract

A spoken communication system and method of communicating spoken communication, includes a server and at least one communication device that are in digital communication with each other over the Internet via a communication channel. The at least one communication device receives spoken communication and digitally communicate the spoken communication to the server. The spoken communication is isolated from interception on the Internet by deleting the spoken communication from the at least one communication device after digitally communicating the spoken communication to the server and deleting the spoken communication from storage on the server. Also, privacy is ensured to a user by avoiding building a database of user's habits or characteristics from the spoken communication.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A spoken communication system, comprising:
 a server and at least one communication device that are in digital communication with each other over the Internet via a communication channel;   wherein said at least one communication device is adapted to receive spoken communication and digitally communicate the spoken communication to the server; and   wherein the spoken communication is deleted from the at least one communication device after digitally communicated to the server and deleted from storage on the server.   
     
     
         2 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein digital communication of the spoken communication is encrypted on the communication channel. 
     
     
         3 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the digital communication of the spoken communication is isolated from capture by systems on the Internet. 
     
     
         4 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the at least one communication device is not responsive to spoken communication below a threshold volume. 
     
     
         5 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one communication device is unresponsive to spoken communication above a threshold volume. 
     
     
         6 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the communication channel is open upon receiving a spoken communication and closed a period of time after the server detects that spoken communication has ended. 
     
     
         7 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said at least one communication device comprises at least one processor, at least one microphone, at least one speaker and a Wi-Fi interface in order to facilitate sending and receiving spoken communication. 
     
     
         8 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 7  wherein said at least one communication device comprises a smart speaker. 
     
     
         9 . The spoken communication system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said at least one communication device comprises a smart speaker. 
     
     
         10 . A method of communicating spoken communication, comprising:
 having a server and at least one communication device that are in digital communication with each other over the Internet via a communication channel;   wherein said at least one communication device receives spoken communication and digitally communicate the spoken communication to the server; and   isolating the spoken communication from interception on the Internet by deleting the spoken communication from the at least one communication device after digitally communicating the spoken communication to the server and deleting the spoken communication from storage on the server.   
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 10  including encrypting the spoken communication on the communication channel. 
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 10  wherein the at least one communication device is not responsive to spoken communication below a threshold volume. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the at least one communication device is unresponsive to spoken communication above a threshold volume. 
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 10  including opening the communication channel upon receiving a spoken communication and closing the communication channel a period of time after the server detects that spoken communication has ended. 
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 10  wherein said at least one communication device comprises at least one processor, at least one microphone, at least one speaker and a Wi-Fi interface in order to facilitate sending and receiving spoken communication. 
     
     
         16 . The method as claimed in  claim 15  wherein said at least one communication device comprises a smart speaker. 
     
     
         17 . The method as claimed in  claim 10  wherein said at least one communication device comprises a smart speaker. 
     
     
         18 . A method of communicating spoken communication, comprising:
 having a server and at least one communication device that are in digital communication with each other over the Internet via a communication channel;   wherein said at least one communication device receives spoken communication and digitally communicate the spoken communication to the server; and   providing privacy to a user by avoiding building a database of user's habits or characteristics from the spoken communication.   
     
     
         19 . The method as claimed in  claim 18  wherein the providing privacy includes avoiding marketing to the user of the at least one communication device.
