INDIVIDUAL RECOGNITION USING VOICE DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806286 titled 'INDIVIDUAL RECOGNITION USING VOICE DETECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, computer program, and system for determining the name of an individual based on voice detection. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves analyzing the voice characteristics of an individual based on an audio input received through an audio input device.
  • The voice characteristics are compared to voice profiles to find a match.
  • If the voice characteristics of the individual and a voice profile meet a similarity threshold, the method determines the name associated with that voice profile.
  • The determined name is then provided to a user who is having a conversation with the individual.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Voice-based identification systems: This technology can be used in voice recognition systems to identify individuals based on their voice characteristics.
  • Personalized customer service: Companies can use this technology to personalize customer interactions by identifying customers based on their voice and providing relevant information.
  • Security systems: Voice-based identification can be used in security systems to grant access to authorized individuals.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Identification accuracy: This technology improves the accuracy of identifying individuals based on their voice characteristics, reducing the chances of misidentification.
  • Efficiency: By automating the process of determining an individual's name based on their voice, this technology saves time and effort compared to manual identification methods.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can be addressed by their names, providing a personalized and more engaging experience.
  • Improved security: Voice-based identification adds an extra layer of security, as voice characteristics are unique to individuals.
  • Time-saving: Automated identification based on voice characteristics eliminates the need for manual identification processes, saving time for both users and businesses.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine a name of an individual based on voice detection.
