SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION METHOD, SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532054 titled 'SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION METHOD, SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an utterer identification device that uses voice recognition to identify a certain utterer based on the similarity between the input utterance data and a stored feature quantity in a selected database.

  • Voice recognition is performed on input utterance data
  • The device selects a registered utterance content closest to the recognized utterance content
  • A database associated with the selected utterance content is chosen
  • Similarity between the input utterance data and the stored feature quantity is calculated
  • A certain utterer is identified based on the similarity and the result is outputted

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Security systems for voice-based authentication
  • Call center operations for identifying customers based on voice patterns

Problems Solved

  • Improves security by accurately identifying individuals based on their voice
  • Enhances customer service by quickly identifying customers without the need for additional verification steps

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in authentication processes
  • Enhanced security measures
  • Improved customer experience

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Customer Identification through Voice Recognition Technology

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in voice recognition technology for identification purposes may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

Original Abstract Submitted

An utterer identification device executes: performing voice recognition from input utterance data; selecting, from among a plurality of registered utterance contents set in advance, a registered utterance content closest to a recognized utterance content indicated by a result of the voice recognition as a selected utterance content; selecting, from among a plurality of databases respectively associated with the registered utterance contents, a database associated with the selected utterance content; calculating a similarity between a feature quantity of the input utterance data and a feature quantity stored in the selected database; and identifying a certain utterer on the basis of the similarity, and outputting a result of the identification.
