Abstract:
A computer system may communicate metadata that identifies a current speaker. The computer system may receive audio data that represents speech of the current speaker, generate an audio fingerprint of the current speaker based on the audio data, and perform automated speaker recognition by comparing the audio fingerprint of the current speaker against stored audio fingerprints contained in a speaker fingerprint repository. The computer system may communicate data indicating that the current speaker is unrecognized to a client device of an observer and receive tagging information that identifies the current speaker from the client device of the observer. The computer system may store the audio fingerprint of the current speaker and metadata that identifies the current speaker in the speaker fingerprint repository and communicate the metadata that identifies the current speaker to at least one of the client device of the observer or a client device of a different observer.
Abstract:
Procédé de filtrage d'appels téléphoniques entrants indésirables, dans lequel une décision de bloquer un appel ou de le transmettre est basée à la fois sur le numéro d'appelant et sur une analyse de la voix de l'appelant.
Abstract:
A process and system for generating three dimensional audio for television broadcast includes generating a virtual map of participants with a plurality of positions, each participant selecting one of the positions, determining a direction from each position to each other position on the map and to predetermined listener position, receiving sound from each participant, converting the received sound according to the direction of the speaking participant to the listener, mixing the converted sounds, transforming the mixed sound into binaural audio, and directing the binaural audio sound for transmission to a television viewer. The result is a clarified sound that gives to the television viewer a sense of where the speaking participant is positioned relative to the listening television viewer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method to continuously authenticate a user of a mobile device. The mobile device includes a user interface, a transceiver, a microphone, and processor. The processor continuously samples a users voice from the microphone during a call by obtaining voice snippets on a pre-defined periodic basis or on a random basis. The processor further compares the sampled voice from the microphone to a stored voice to authenticate a valid user, wherein if the sampled voice matches the stored voice for a valid user, functionality of the mobile device continues. On the other hand, if the sampled voice does not match the stored voice for a valid user, functionality of the mobile device is locked.
Abstract:
A method of establishing communication by voice between a computer user and another party also transmits information relating to the context of the communication to a computer which is associated with the other party.
Abstract:
A system including a conferencing telephone coupled to or in communication with an identification service (111). The identification service (111) is configured to poll user devices of conference participants to determine or confirm identities. In response, the user devices transmit audio electronic business cards, which can include user voice samples and/or preprocessed voice recognition data. The identification service (111) stores the resulting audio electronic business card data. When the corresponding participant speaks during the conference, the identification service (111) identifies the speaker.
Abstract:
A telephonic authentication system (11), method and program product. An authentication system is provided for authenticating a user of a telephonic device that includes a setup system (12) for capturing and storing an authentic user speech pattern sample (37), a comparison system (18) that compares the authentic user speech pattern sample (37) with an inputted speech pattern sample (27) and generates a comparison result (32); and a control system (26) for controlling access to the telephonic device. The control system (26) analyzes the comparison result (32) for an initial inputted speech pattern sample (27) received when a telephone call is initiated and periodically analyzes comparison results for ongoing inputted speech pattern samples (27) received during the telephone call.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems for recalling voicemail messages from remote voicemail systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for recalling a voicemail message from a target mailbox can include: accessing a voicemail system by a caller using a device; authenticating the caller using speaker verification; and deleting the voicemail message from the target mailbox. The target mailbox owner can be a member of the voicemail system, while the caller can be a non-member of that voicemail system. The device may be configured to support a telephony user interface (TUI), for example.
