A method includes detecting an initial vocalization by a user in an environment including a primary device and a secondary device, analyzing the initial vocalization to determine whether a future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information based on the initial vocalization where the future vocalization is a potential future vocalization, and controlling, based on determining that the future vocalization is likely to contain sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device to output a noise canceling signal configured to prevent the secondary device from detecting the future vocalization.

Interrupting receipt of sensitive information

Systems and methods for interrupting disclosure of sensitive information are described. Sensitive information data associated with a user is maintained. A primary device detects commencement of a voice input to a secondary device. As the voice input is detected by the primary device, the voice input is analyzed to determine the content of the voice input. The content is compared to the sensitive information data to determine whether the voice input contains sensitive information. When the primary device determines the voice input contains sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device is controlled to generate a noise canceling signal which interrupts receipt of further sensitive information by the secondary device.
