USER AUTHENTICATION USING COMBINATION OF VOCALIZATION AND SKIN VIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211563 titled 'USER AUTHENTICATION USING COMBINATION OF VOCALIZATION AND SKIN VIBRATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an audio system that authenticates a user based on their vocalization and the vibration of their tissue.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • System uses a microphone array to detect airborne acoustic waves from user vocalization.
  • Vibration measurement assembly detects tissue vibration caused by vocalization.
  • Authentication dataset generated using detected acoustic waves and tissue vibration.
  • User authentication based on the authentication dataset.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:

  • Security systems
  • Access control
  • Voice recognition applications

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances user authentication security
  • Provides a non-intrusive method of user verification
  • Combines multiple biometric factors for authentication

Benefits:

  • Improved security
  • Convenient user authentication
  • Enhanced accuracy in voice recognition

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:

  • Biometric security systems
  • Smart home devices
  • Voice-controlled applications

Questions about Audio Authentication Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between different users based on vocalization and tissue vibration? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using this technology for user authentication?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research may focus on improving the accuracy and speed of user authentication using this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

an audio system configured to authenticate a user. the system detects, via a microphone array, airborne acoustic waves corresponding to a vocalization of a user. the system also detects, via a vibration measurement assembly, vibration of tissue of the user caused by the vocalization. the system generates an authentication dataset using the detected airborne acoustic waves and the detected vibration of tissue. the system may authenticate the user based in part on the authentication dataset.
