Abstract

A method for providing privacy protection in preparation for a phone call between a vehicle occupant of a vehicle and a remote conversation partner is provided. The method includes detecting, by an occupant detection system of the vehicle, additional listeners inside the vehicle. The method further includes receiving a call request with a telecommunication system in the vehicle for a phone call between the vehicle occupant and the remote conversation partner, the phone call being an outgoing call or an incoming call. The method further includes sending a notification to the remote conversation partner with the telecommunication system prior to establishment of the requested phone call informing the remote conversation partner about the presence of detected additional listeners.
