Voice Biometric Authentication in a Virtual Assistant - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305623 titled 'Voice Biometric Authentication in a Virtual Assistant
The abstract discusses the use of voice biometric authentication in a virtual assistant to access user account information based on voice commands.
- A computing platform receives an audio file with a voice command from a user device.
- Voice biometric signatures are retrieved from a database associated with the user account.
- A voice biometric matching algorithm is applied to compare the voice command to the biometric signatures.
- If a match is found, information related to the user account is retrieved and sent back to the user device.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing security in virtual assistants - Streamlining user authentication processes - Improving user experience by enabling hands-free access to account information
Problems Solved: - Mitigating unauthorized access to user accounts - Providing a secure and efficient authentication method - Reducing the risk of identity theft and fraud
Benefits: - Enhanced security for user accounts - Convenient and seamless user authentication process - Personalized user experience based on voice biometrics
Commercial Applications: Title: Voice Biometric Authentication for Virtual Assistants This technology can be utilized in various industries such as banking, healthcare, and e-commerce to enhance security measures and improve user experience. Market implications include increased trust from users and reduced instances of fraud.
Questions about Voice Biometric Authentication for Virtual Assistants: 1. How does voice biometric authentication improve security in virtual assistants? Voice biometric authentication adds an extra layer of security by verifying the user's identity based on their unique voice characteristics, making it difficult for unauthorized users to access sensitive information.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using voice biometric authentication in virtual assistants? While voice biometric authentication is secure, it may raise concerns about privacy and data protection, as users' voice data needs to be stored and processed to verify their identity.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the disclosure relate to voice biometric authentication in a virtual assistant. in some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a user device, an audio file comprising a voice command to access information related to a user account. the computing platform may retrieve one or more voice biometric signatures from a voice biometric database associated with the user account, and apply a voice biometric matching algorithm to compare the voice command of the audio file to the one or more voice biometric signatures to determine if a match exists between the voice command and one of the one or more voice biometric signatures. in response to determining that a match exists, the computing platform may retrieve information associated with the user account, and then send, via the communication interface, the information associated with the user account to the user device.
