  • Patent number: 9741346
    Abstract: A method for estimating the reliability of a result of a speaker recognition system concerning a testing audio and a speaker model, which is based on one, two, three or more model audios, the method using a Bayesian Network to estimate whether the result is reliable. In estimating the reliability of the result of the speaker recognition system one, two, three, four or more than four quality measures of the testing audio and one, two, three, four or more than four quality measures of the model audio(s) are used.

  • Patent number: 9336780
    Abstract: Method for speaker identification includes detecting a target speaker's utterance locally; extracting features from the detected utterance locally, analyzing the extracted features in the local device to obtain information on the speaker identification and/or encoding the extracted features locally, transmitting the encoded extracted features to a remote server, decoding and analyzing the received extracted features by the server to obtain information on the speaker identification, and transmitting the information on the speaker identification from the server to the location where the speaker's utterance was detected. The method further includes detecting speech activity locally. Extracting features, encoding the extracted features, and/or transmitting the encoded extracted features to the server, are only performed if speech activity above some predetermined threshold is detected.

  • Publication number: 20150206538
    Abstract: A tamper-resistant element for use in speaker recognition, the tamper-resistant element being adapted for storing data representing speaker information based on speaker recognition enrollment data and for checking whether information based on a speaker recognition testing signal matches the speaker information. The tamper-resistant element is also adapted for carrying out a data integrity check. Also, a system including such a tamper-resistant element and method for speaker recognition.

  • Publication number: 20110071831
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for localizing a person comprising the steps carried out in a computing system (1): determining (20) the localization of a telecommunication means (3, 6, 8) or determining a telecommunication means (3, 6, 8) at a specific location; this can be implemented using ANI or calling number received and a database to look up address of a fixed telephone, for a cellular device, cell-ID or triangulation can be used; receiving (21) a voice utterance of a person by the telecommunications means; and verifying (22) the identity of that person based on the received voice utterance using biometric voice data (speech, speaker recognition). Further the invention relates to a corresponding system and computer readable medium.
