Abstract

A network-based, e.g., cloud-based, and apparatus based in-call command control for dynamically performing user commands such as voice commands or gesture commands are provided. The result allows for hands free operation of a calling system including one where the user is located separate from a base station, and provides for recognizing both voice and gestural commands. Filtering of commands can be performed dynamically so that commands are not perceived by those participating in the call. Further, the user, who has given the command, can be notified regarding the performance of the requested command.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

recording a first video of a communication session associated with a user equipment device;

based on an analysis of filtered command data representative of a command associated with the user equipment device, replacing a second video of the communication session with the first video during a performance of an instruction associated with the command; and

executing the instruction associated with the command.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

filtering command data, of user equipment devices, resulting in the filtered command data, wherein the filtering the command data comprises;

generating replacement data for the communication session between user equipment devices for a defined time period associated with the command.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

filtering command data, of user equipment devices, resulting in the filtered command data.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying the command from the communication session as a voice command.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the user equipment device is a first user equipment device, and wherein the command data utilizes a voice command to isolate a user of a second user equipment device.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the user equipment is first user equipment, and wherein the operations further comprise:

filtering command data, of user equipment devices, to prevent a voice command from being heard by a user of a second user equipment device, resulting in the filtered command data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying the command as a gestural command associated with the communication session between user equipment devices.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the gestural command is a first gestural command, and wherein the identifying the command as the first gestural command comprises distinguishing the first gestural command from a second gestural command other than the first gestural command.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

based on a level of motion of a gesture being determined to have satisfied a condition associated with motion recognition, recognizing the command.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the command comprises a gesture associated with muting the user equipment device.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

recording a video associated with a first mobile device prior to an initiation of a command;

displaying the video during a performance of the command, resulting in the performance of the command being undetectable to a second mobile device; and

based on a result of filtering command data associated with the command, executing the command.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

generating replacement data for a communication session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

preventing delivery of the command for a time period associated with replacement data for a communication session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

performing the filtering the command data of the first mobile device to generate the result.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying the command from a communication session as a gestural command.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations further comprise:

providing an indication that the command is undetectable to the second mobile device.

17. A method, comprising:

in response to filtering command data associated with a command of a first user equipment, recording, by a system comprising a processor, a video segment of the first user equipment;

based on a condition associated with the video segment being determined to have been satisfied, replacing, by the system, a display of the video segment, resulting in the command being indiscernible to a second user equipment; and

in further response to the filtering the command data, facilitating, by the system, performance of the command.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

generating, by the system, replacement data to replace the command data representing the command.

19. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

determining, by the system, whether a portion of session data of a communication session between the first user equipment and the second user equipment matches a pattern associated with the command data representing the command.

20. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

storing, by the system, a determined amount of video data from a communication session between the first user equipment and the second user equipment.
