  • Patent number: 12361944
    Abstract: Systems and methods for account data association with voice interface devices are disclosed. For example, when a host user/primary user and guest user have consented for account data to be associated with the primary user's devices, a request to associate the account data may be received. Voice and device-based authentication may be performed to confirm the identity of the guest user and the guest user's account data may be associated with the primary user's devices. During a guest session, voice recognition may be utilized to determine if a given user utterance is from the guest user or the primary user, and actions may be performed by the voice interface device accordingly.
