1. A method comprising:
- identifying an activity performed in an area of a user interface during a voice recording of a verbal interaction comprising a speech signal, wherein the activity comprises motion of a pointing device associated with the area;
evaluating the motion of the pointing device by correlating the activity with at least a part of the speech signal that corresponds with special information and determining a correlation value for the special information;
applying a threshold to the correlation value and rendering the special information unintelligible when the correlation value satisfies the threshold; and
analyzing the voice recording to provide feedback to a business based on the interaction.

Abstract
A marker is derived from an interaction between a person and an agent of a business and the agent'"'"'s user interface. A part of a speech signal that corresponds to a portion of the person'"'"'s special information is located with the marker. The speech signal results from the interaction between the person and the agent. The part of the speech signal that corresponds to the portion of the person'"'"'s special information is rendered unintelligible.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing executable computer program instructions, which when executed by a data processing system, cause the data processing system to perform a method comprising:
-
correlating first image data from a user interface with second image data from the user interface to detect activity within an area of the user interface during a verbal interaction comprising a speech signal; correlating the activity in the user interface with at least a part of the speech signal that corresponds with special information and determining a correlation value for the special information; and applying a threshold to the correlation value and rendering at least a portion of the special information unintelligible, wherein a guard band is utilized to identify an amount of the special information for rendering intelligible and a width of the guard band is determined based on the activity in the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a user interface; a system bus, the system bus is coupled to the user interface; and a processor coupled to the system bus and programmed to; identify an activity performed in an area of the user interface during a verbal interaction comprising a speech signal; correlate the activity with at least a part of the speech signal that corresponds with special information, utilize a guard band to identify the part of the speech signal that corresponds with the person'"'"'s special information, and determine a correlation value for the special information; and apply a threshold to the correlation value and render the special information unintelligible when the correlation value satisfies the threshold, wherein an identifier is assigned to the special information to identify the part of the speech signal comprising the special information for rendering unintelligible. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system to protect special information during an interaction, comprising:
-
a communications device; a communications network configured to provide communications between the communications device and a user interface; a data processing system configured to; identify an activity performed in an area of the user interface during a verbal interaction comprising a speech signal; utilize a guard band to identify a part of the speech signal that corresponds with special information, correlate the activity with the part of the speech signal that corresponds with the special information, and determine a correlation value for the special information; and apply a threshold to the correlation value and render the special information unintelligible when the correlation value satisfies the threshold; and an identifier, which is assigned to the special information to identify the part of the speech signal comprising the special information for rendering unintelligible. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
