Patent number: 8019609Abstract: A method for verifying and identifying users, and for verifying users' identity, by means of an authentication device capable of transmitting, receiving and recording audio or ultrasonic signals, and capable of converting the signals into digital data, and performing digital signal processing. Voice pattern(s) and user(s) information of one or more authorized user(s) are recorded and stored on the authentication device. User(s) identification is verified by inputting to the authentication device a vocal identification signal from a user, and comparing the voice pattern of the vocal identification signal with the recorded voice pattern(s) of the authorized user(s), and if a match is detected issuing an indication that the user is identified as an authorized user.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Dialware Inc.Inventors: Asaf Tamir, Alan Sege, Nir Dvash, Nathan Altman, Alon Atsmon

Publication number: 20100256976Abstract: The interactive authentication system allows a consumer to interact with a base station, such as broadcast media (e.g., television and radio) or PC, to receive coupons, special sales offers, and other information with an electronic card. The electronic card can also be used to transmit a signal that can be received by the base station to perform a wide variety of tasks. These tasks can include launching an application, authenticating a user at a website, and completing a sales transaction at a website (e.g., by filling out a form automatically). The interaction between the base station and the electronic card is accomplished by using the conventional sound system in the base station so that a special reader hardware need not be installed to interact with the electronic card. The user is equipped with an electronic card that can receive and transmit data via sound waves. In the various embodiments, the sound waves can be audible or ultrasonic (which can be slightly audible to some groups of people).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2010Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: BeepCard Ltd.Inventors: Alon ATSMON, Amit Antebi, Tsvi Lev, Moshe Cohen, Gavriel Speyer, Alan Sege, Nathan Altman, Rami Anati
