Patent number: 9008284Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for authenticating an individual. A representation of an utterance is received. A candidate record is identified from among a plurality of candidate records by comparing the representation of the utterance with stored utterance data according to a match parameter. An identity of the individual is verified by comparing received ambiguity information with stored ambiguity resolution criteria. If a candidate record is not found, a new record associated with the individual may be created. The individual may be allowed access to a secured resource.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2009Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Ochopee Big Cypress LLCInventors: Sanford J.

Publication number: 20140054377Abstract: An advanced record production system includes one or more devices operable to print machine readable indicia on tangible documents. The machine readable indicia include date information and automatically assigned information that is used to prevent the tangible document from being valid for more than one use. The advanced record production system also includes a registration system operable to read the tangible documents and to process the tangible documents. The registration system is further operable to maintain a record of the machine readable indicia of the tangible documents that have been processed to prevent the tangible documents from being valid for more than one use.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2013Publication date: February 27, 2014Inventor: Sanford J.

Patent number: 7489766Abstract: In one embodiment, a system authenticates a caller before providing the caller with access to one or more secured resources. Identification and verification data is stored during system enrollment of known persons. A processing system, in a current call initiated by a caller and prior to identification of the caller, receives voice-based information for the caller including a digital representation of a telephone number spoken by the caller in the current call, the received information including voice-based identification information and voice-based verification information for the caller. The processing system automatically compares the received identification information and the received verification information for the caller with the stored identification and verification data for known persons, respectively, to uniquely identify and verify the identity of the caller as a particular known person. The processing system authenticates the caller for access to the one or more secured resources in response.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2006Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Ochopee Big Cypress LLCInventors: Sanford J.

Patent number: 6044140Abstract: Disclosed is an intercept system for integrating the personalized services of switchboard attendants associated with on-premises PBX switching systems, with the capabilities of the intercept system for allowing calling parties the opportunity to complete their own calls to the on-premise switching systems when the telephone extension numbers of the called parties are known to the calling parties. Depending on the mode of system operation selected, the intercept system either presents all incoming calls directly to the switchboard attendants, or intercepts all incoming calls and presents the caller the opportunity to complete the call, or a combination in which incoming calls are first offered to the switchboard attendants for assistance and then after a time wherein attendant assistance is not gained, the call is intercepted and the caller is given an opportunity to complete the call.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1997Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Aspect Communications Corp.Inventors: Sanford J.
