AUTHENTICATION DEVICE AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18614133 titled 'AUTHENTICATION DEVICE AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an authentication device that uses voice signals to verify the identity of a speaker. If authentication is not possible during the first utterance period, a second utterance period is detected and compared for authentication.
- Acquires voice signal of speaker
- Detects first utterance period
- Authenticates speaker based on comparison with database
- Detects second utterance period if authentication is impossible during the first period
- Authenticates speaker based on comparison of voice signals from both periods
Key Features and Innovation
- Utilizes voice signals for speaker authentication
- Detects and compares utterance periods for authentication
- Provides a secure method of speaker verification
Potential Applications
- Secure access control systems
- Voice-activated devices
- Biometric security systems
Problems Solved
- Ensures accurate speaker authentication
- Enhances security measures
- Prevents unauthorized access
Benefits
- Improved security
- Convenient and efficient authentication process
- Reliable speaker verification
Commercial Applications
Voice authentication technology can be used in various industries such as banking, healthcare, and government agencies to enhance security measures and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Prior Art
Readers interested in prior art related to voice authentication technology can explore patents and research papers in the field of biometrics, speech recognition, and security systems.
Frequently Updated Research
Researchers are continuously working on improving voice authentication technology by enhancing accuracy, speed, and reliability of speaker verification systems.
Questions about Voice Authentication Technology
1. How does voice authentication technology compare to other biometric authentication methods? Voice authentication technology offers a unique advantage as it relies on the individual's voice patterns, making it difficult to replicate or fake compared to other biometric methods like fingerprints or facial recognition.
2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with voice authentication technology? Privacy concerns may arise regarding the collection and storage of voice data for authentication purposes. It is essential for companies to implement robust security measures to protect this sensitive information from unauthorized access or misuse.
Original Abstract Submitted
An authentication device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a voice signal of a speaker; a detection unit configured to detect a first utterance period during which the speaker is speaking; and an authentication unit configured to authenticate the speaker based on a comparison between a voice signal of the first utterance period and a database. The detection unit detects a second utterance period different from the first utterance period when the authentication unit determines that the speaker authentication is impossible, and the authentication unit authenticates the speaker based on a comparison between the voice signal of the first utterance period and a voice signal of the second utterance period, and the database.
