  • Publication number: 20260128057
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the detection of fraudulent audio data is provided that includes capturing audio data of a user speaking during an authentication transaction, dividing the audio data into segments, determining a quality control vector for each segment, and determining whether each segment is of adequate quality. Moreover, the method includes calculating a voice replay score and a voice cloning detection score for each adequate quality segment, and determining, by a trained machine learning model operated by the electronic device, a weight for each adequate quality segment. Furthermore, the method includes applying the weight determined for each adequate quality segment to the voice replay and voice cloning scores calculated for the respective adequate quality segment, calculating a decision score, and comparing the decision score against a threshold value. In response to determining the decision score satisfies the threshold value, determining the captured audio data is genuine.

  • Patent number: 11941933
    Abstract: A method for enhanced access control is provided that includes the steps of displaying buttons, by an electronic device, where each button corresponds to a different service. Moreover, the method includes receiving, by the electronic device, input regarding a selected service, transmitting at least one credential for the selected service to a computer, and capturing, by a camera in communication with the computer, facial image data of a user. The method also includes determining whether the facial image data was taken of a live person. In response to determining the facial image data was taken of a live person, a verification transaction is conducted based on the at least one credential and facial image data. In response to verifying the identity of the user as true, the user is granted access to the selected service.

  • Patent number: 11710361
    Abstract: A method for enhanced authorization to access transportation hub services is provided that includes creating, by an electronic device, a token based on credentials of a traveler. Moreover, the method includes displaying the token by the electronic device for scanning for accessing a security service area and determining whether the credentials are valid. In response to determining the credentials are valid, a traveler operating the electronic device is authorized to access the security service area. Otherwise, the traveler is denied access to the security service area.
